Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 250
Heather had finally done it. Jeffrey loved her so much that he lost all sense of reason. Even knowing she was dragging his name through the mud, he accepted it without question. The world called him a scumbag, vile, a man who abandoned his family for a mistress—he bore it all. In the end, Heather got what she wanted and escaped to another country. She went to a secluded island with Jason. Jason's condition was dire and his chances of waking were slim, but Heather was relentless. When she first started researching holograms, it was a death wish—to die in the holographic world alongside Jason. But things were different now. Jason was alive, and she had to keep going. The goal of her work shifted: she wanted to develop holographic technology capable of stimulating his brain to bring him back to consciousness. As long as Jason was there, she had a reason to live. She manipulated the Turner family, Jeffrey, and even Liesel—but never Jason. Jason was the only person she couldn't

"Who do you think I'm relying on?" Liesel's voice carried a faint trace of mockery. "Were you hoping to intimidate me by bringing up Jacob?" Zack chuckled awkwardly. He was taking pleasure in her misfortune. "Ms. Sharp, isn't Mr. Ford your protector?" He was baiting her. Liesel found it funny. She had been feeling down these past few days, and Elijah had spent time by her side. That brief lull had allowed someone like Zack to seize what he thought was an advantage. But she wondered if Jacob had ever been her "protector." In other words, when had Jacob ever truly stood behind her and defended her? Never. The smirk on Liesel's face deepened. Satisfied with her silence, Zack quipped, "Ms. Sharp, you came from a poor background. Frankly, you're lucky you've even landed a job at Ford Corporation. But now, Mr. Ford has sided with Jeffrey and the rest of us. If you're smart, you'll know where to stand." Poor background, and lucky to be here; every word hit Liesel like

"One could be minding their business, walking down the street, and a falling stone or steel beam can come out of nowhere and end their lives," Liesel said. "Natural disasters, accidents—these things are beyond anyone's control. Jacob isn't a god, after all, is he?" She hadn't outright said anything would happen to them, but every word carried the weight of an ominous certainty. Zack felt a chill creep through his body. "You're lying! You're just trying to scare me! You're nothing more than a manager at Ford Corporation! How could you possibly stand against Mr. Ford? He said he'd protect me, and he will!" Liesel crossed her arms as a chuckle escaped her lips. "If you're so confident in Jacob's influence, then surely you've also heard of my fiancé, Elijah." The name hit Zack like a ton of bricks. His face drained of color, and his lips quivered as terror flickered in his wide eyes. Liesel raised her eyebrows slightly, then took a step back. Zack dropped to his knees. Te

The door to the conference room swung open. Jacob emerged first. His gaze immediately landed on the scene before him. Under the cool lighting were two figures standing close to each other. They were Liesel and Elijah. Liesel's smile was soft and radiant.Jacob's throat tightened. He asked himself if Liesel had ever smiled at him like that in their three years of marriage.No, she hadn't. And, perhaps, it was because of him that she never had. Behind him, the executives of Ford Corporation filed out. Some of them were longtime supporters of Liesel while others quietly resented her presence. After all, she was a woman who occupied such a pivotal managerial role. She had recently turned down the partnership with Dash, sparing Ford Corporation from a disastrous deal. No one could fault her now, even if they wanted to. "You're late, Ms. Sharp. We missed your insight during the discussions!" "We panicked a little without your presence in the meeting.""Would you like t

"Just get some rest, and then come back to Ford Corporation." Jacob seemed desperate to escape. He wanted to avoid the conversation he knew was coming. Liesel remained motionless. Her gaze was fixed on Jacob's broad, retreating figure. "Jacob, I'm exhausted." Jacob didn't stop. "You really don't understand why I'm resigning?" Liesel stood in place as she continued, "Henry's death is tied to you."Jacob froze. "Natalie's feud with Bromwich—you were the one who mediated it."Jacob turned, but he couldn't face her eyes. Liesel wasn't done."And you've destroyed the evidence of Jeffrey's proxy test taker scandal. You let him walk away unscathed." Each accusation was a statement, not a question. "For three years, I worked at Ford Corporation and stayed by your side. And in all that time, I couldn't figure you out, Jacob. I couldn't see through you. I still don't understand how you could be so cruel to me."You knew who sent Henry. And Elijah's car accident? You know th

Liesel stood where she was with Elijah close behind her. Despite the tension in the air, Liesel maintained a serene smile, while Elijah tilted his head slightly as he challenged Jacob."Mr. Ford, she has said enough. It's time to let her go." He scoffed. "Besides, haven't you already let her go? You're divorced, yet you're still forcing your ex-wife to work here. Mr. Ford, that's a bit much, don't you think?"Elijah's words were a direct jab aimed at Jacob. Liesel didn't even look at Jacob as she fiddled with her phone. She seemed weary.There was a stark difference from the Liesel who would have once defended Jacob against any attack. Today, she stood in front of him but didn't even spare him a glance. It was as if nothing about him was worth her attention anymore.Jacob's fist tightened. His fury boiled over as he threw a punch at Elijah. "It's you who told her everything!"Elijah caught his fist with a firm grip and then retaliated with a forceful shove back. "You broke the agr

"The position of Hardin Group's president's wife is all hers if she wants it. I'll even step down and hand her the title of president itself. I'm prepared to give her everything I have. Can you say the same, Mr. Ford?"Don't give me that nonsense about getting tired of her, or about her leaving me one day. Even if that day comes, the money, power, and status that I'm offering now will still stand. It's enough for her to destroy me if she chooses. That's my sincerity. No one can match it."Elijah cast a final glance at Charles. "Only when your precious Mr. Ford is ready to give up everything willingly can he talk about competing with me."Charles stayed silent. It was undeniable that Elijah's offer wasn't just bait. It was a tangible, overwhelming promise. Charles had no justification to stop Liesel from accepting it. Elijah and Liesel had entered Ford Corporation together, and now, they left together. Drew ruffled his hair in frustration. "The Iron Triangle is down to two. Can the

If Liesel had stayed at Ford Corporation, the winner of the upcoming financial summit might be Ford Corporation itself. The saying that "Liesel from Ford Corporation could carry half the business world in Ashthorne" wasn't widespread, but those in the know had heard it.It spoke volumes about Liesel's reputation. She was capable of securing billion-dollar international deals single-handedly. What kind of storm could she stir up once she was free from constraints? Nobody knew for sure. All they could hope for was that Liesel wouldn't turn her focus against Ford Corporation after her departure. …"Big promises, offering me half your assets," Liesel remarked as she settled into the car. Her arms were folded and a faint smirk was playing on her lips as she glanced at Elijah. "What's this? You've got your eye on Shifter Corporation too?" Others might not know Liesel's true net worth, but Elijah did. Shifter Corporation stood toe-to-toe with Hardin Group in terms of statu

"You know how it is. It's always hard to strike a deal between two smart people."Charles laughed.He knew that when Liesel suggested a partnership with Ford Corporation to manufacture anti-cancer drugs, it was actually a huge trap.Liesel and Howard were both researchers. Who could say for sure that after they gave Ford Corporation the drug formula, they wouldn't refine the drug further and make something even more effective?Considering Liesel's and Howard's intelligence, there would undoubtedly be a more potent version of the drug. However, Liesel would never choose to continue working together with Ford Corporation. Therefore, he had decided to ask for a mile. He had asked to collaborate on the artificial intelligence project.It wasn't that he was being greedy.It was because Ford Corporation wasn't the same as it had been a year ago. He had to tread very carefully to avoid falling for someone's scheme again.Without Liesel and Drew, there were many tasks that only he and

"Do you not want to hug?" Liesel cocked her head at him. "Don't think I don't know you. I bet you already wanted to kiss me and hold me the moment you spotted Jacob. Otherwise, you wouldn't have tightened your arms around me."Hadn't Elijah done that to send Jacob a message that Liesel belonged to him?Having been together for so long, there wasn't anything that she didn't understand about him."In that case, thank you for giving me a chance and playing along." Since he couldn't think of an excuse, he just came clean. There was even a look of amusement on his face.He pulled her into his arms affectionately. She also hugged him back, like she was a child staking her territory."Should we add some more spice and kiss?"This was really becoming more and more provocative.Why not?A smile appeared on Elijah's face, as if he was saying to her, "Bring it on."And she did. She peppered Elijah's face with continuous pecks. Then, she yanked on his collar, like she was claiming him as

From a short distance away, Jacob could see Elijah's arm curled around Liesel's tiny waist. She seemed very dependent on him as she lay in his arms listlessly. It was a stark contrast to the way she behaved in public with other people.Whether it was with reporters or business partners, she always seemed like a steady pillar of strength. She was graceful and calm, but there was a hidden sharpness within her.Anyone who interacted with her could feel the hidden threat that was lurking inside of her.Yet, the Liesel now seemed to have shed all the sharp spikes on her body, revealing only the soft insides. She appeared gentle and submissive… Or rather, she only showed this side of her to her lover.He should have been the one to get all of this.He should have been her lover.He was the one who'd thrown all of this away. All he could do was watch as Elijah purposely pissed him off.He was a man too. Of course, he knew that Elijah was doing it on purpose.Of course, he resented Eli

Elijah seized Liesel's wrists while chuckling coldly. "So what if you're someone's wife? If I wanted you, all I'd have to do is tell him. Then, he'd definitely have someone clean you up nicely and send you straight into my bed."He lifted her chin with his finger. "Do you think that your husband is a decent man? Do you think that he'd disobey me for you?"Liesel swallowed. She was enraptured by the look in Elijah's eyes right now.He nibbled on her ear while patting her panicked and pale face. "If you're obedient, I'll treat you well. If you're unwilling to play along and make me happy, I'll kill your husband and lock you up in my home. You'll never see the light of day again."Stripping off her clothes, Liesel bit his earlobe and whispered, "It's such a waste that you didn't go into the acting industry with Chelsea."Elijah chuckled quietly, letting her hands roam all over him. They left a trail of fire in their wake. When he was all riled up and ready to go, Liesel suddenly hugg

Liesel left.Charles gazed at the still-warm cup of tea on the table. There was a chilling look in his eyes.This was one of the times he'd made the wrong move.After walking out of Charles' office, Liesel wasn't surprised to see Jacob. However, she didn't even stop and simply walked out.He trailed after her leisurely until she was nearly out of Ford Corporation. Just as he was about to call out to her, he heard a cheerful, gentle voice calling her name."Lili, I'm here to pick you up." Jacob's eyes darkened. When he looked up, he saw Elijah sitting in a wheelchair and smiling at Liesel.Liesel didn't mind at all that he was a cripple. With a grin on her face, she crouched down next to him. Then, she grabbed his hand and placed it against her cheek.Jacob's chest clenched when he saw that. It felt like arrows piercing his heart.Liesel could still feel Jacob's eyes on her, but she didn't care. She even pecked Elijah lightly on the lips in front of Jacob. Then, while pushing

"Charles, even though we worked together for three years, you still don't understand me at all."Liesel tapped her fingers against the desk. While it was quiet, it also sounded indescribably threatening."Have you not seen what happened to Dash?"If someone tries to snatch something from me, not only will I make their wishes come true, but I'll also make them pay the price."You can only take what I give you. If you insist on snatching what I'm unwilling to give… then you will find out the price you'll have to pay."She grinned, but it carried an obvious iciness.Dash was indeed the best example.He had tried to snatch collaboration opportunities from her, so she squashed him. And that wasn't all. She also bought his land and assets from him for dirt cheap.Dash tried to steal her data and establish his own vehicle manufacturing plant in Draskia, so she simply chased him and all his businesses out of Draskia.Anyone who tried to plot against her and steal from her suffered hor

"If you have something that even Jacob doesn't, you must be very loyal to him.""Thanks for the compliment." Charles chuckled quietly. "Of course, I am loyal to Mr. Ford. It's because I'm loyal to Mr. Ford that I kept the evidence just in case."If Matthew decided to betray Mr. Ford one day, then I could use this to retaliate against him. After all, you also know that Matthew is far from a nice person."Jacob placed a lot of importance on Matthew because his parents had passed away early, so he'd been raised by Matthew and Vincent since he was younger. He ended up viewing Matthew as somewhat of a father figure. His love for his family had ended up blinding him, making him unwilling to bring harm to Matthew.However, Charles was different. He didn't have any significant feelings toward Matthew. He only cared about protecting Jacob's interests.Matthew was a selfish person who only cared about his own interests. This was why Charles had gone against Jacob's orders and kept the evi

If it had been Elijah who'd done this, what would Liesel have done?Could she still be so righteous?However, Jacob's words only made her stifle a laugh. Without even turning around, she said sardonically, "If Elijah was this kind of person, then I would never have gotten together with him."Whether it comes to family or lovers, first of all, they should have the right principles. They should know what they should or shouldn't do."Even a child can tell what's right from wrong, but an adult like Matthew doesn't know where to draw the line. Jacob, one day he will pay the price for everything that he's done."In the end, Jacob didn't stop her from leaving.He couldn't help but clench his fists. His eyes darkened.Liesel had always been strongly opposed to evil. Making things worse, Drew was the scapegoat for Matthew's misdeeds this time.Over the years, Jacob had already gotten Matthew out of trouble countless times. He was getting tired of it.He really wanted to call out to Li

Natalie wanted to destroy Ford Corporation as soon as possible.Once there was a new leader in Ford Corporation, would Jacob still be so arrogant?Natalie laughed coldly. Then, she remembered the words she heard in the hospital, and her expression frosted over.She thought that since she was already in the same boat as Edward, and that Edward might become the future leader of Ford Corporation, she could go for him instead.After all, Edward was tall and handsome. In her eyes, he wasn't inferior to Jacob at all.However, she never thought… that Edward already had a lover, and that it was his sister, Ophelia, of all people.Till today, she still remembered how that bitch, Ophelia, had once insulted her because of her background. To defend Liesel, Ophelia had mocked her for being a bastard child.How come Ophelia deserved to be with Edward? They were siblings! Even if they weren't related by blood, they had still grown up as brother and sister. Weren't they afraid of getting expose
