Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 281
It was Jimmy Walker, the second son of the Walker family. Since he had an elder brother to inherit the family business, Jimmy was well-known for being playful and mischievous. However, he had in-depth conversations and collaborations with Elijah and Tobey. Despite being a calculative man, Jimmy didn't have much interest in the family business.However, Jimmy usually spoke without a filter. Elijah was also worried that Jimmy might spout nonsense and say a few things that weren't suited to be blasted on speaker. Hence, Elijah sighed before saying, "I'll go and take this call."Liesel didn't stop him. Although they were already lovers, they still had to give each other some personal space. "It's true! I keep thinking that the sky has collapsed. Perhaps the end of the world is nearing as well. I can't keep this a secret anymore. "Eli, do you know what Tobey did? He registered for marriage! He married that little canary we're friends with! He's crazy, right?"I imagined you would

Albert didn't have an old-fashioned mindset. He hadn't asked anyone from the Walker family to pursue Liesel back then because the news of her and Jacob's divorce hadn't gotten out yet. Who knew that Elijah would get to Liesel first? At that point, there was nothing else Jimmy could say. Although it was rather frustrating, Jimmy could only keep these thoughts to himself."That was a call from my friend. Do you want to meet my friends sometime?" Elijah did not hesitate to explain his connection with the Walker family. Of course, Liesel had no objection. She smiled at him with a nod. "Just let me know the time and place."Elijah cleared his throat lightly after hearing her agree. "But you might have to meet Tobey," he intentionally said. Liesel's eyes twitched. Tobey? He was the same man who initially invested in Shifter Corporation.To her, Tobey was a hypocritical and dangerous man. Although he truly did make an investment, he was also rather malicious.Although Tobey invest

Liesel knew how superficial some men could be. How did the saying go? A man's image was his wife's pride.Although Liesel and Elijah weren't married yet, he already toned down his behavior in public for her. Hence, she also wanted to do something in return for him. He already played along with the "rich man and young celebrity" scenario. Humoring him wasn't a bad idea either.Hence, Liesel intentionally put on delicate makeup and wore a formal dress. She was dressed in such a stunning manner that it was as if she was about to step on the red carpet in the next second.Elijah's possessiveness suddenly struck. He couldn't help but say, "I still prefer the simple and elegant side of you."That was complete nonsense. He liked any side of Liesel. He was just jealous that she had dressed up to meet his friends. He didn't actually prefer Liesel being simple and elegant.To put things bluntly, Elijah liked Liesel's prideful gaze, which made it seem as if others were beneath her. "Oh

After fastening the seatbelt, Elijah chuckled a few times from the side as if he were laughing at Liesel. She raised an eyebrow. "Are you laughing at me?""No." Although Elijah denied it, his gaze said otherwise. Although he already fastened the seatbelt for her, he did not move away. The right hand on the safety belt suddenly moved to her waist.The waist was a sensitive spot for Liesel, which Elijah rarely touched. This time, she did not move away and was merely startled by the warmth of his palm.Liesel's hair was pushed to the back, and her face was revealed. Anyone who got close to her would know how delicate and youthful her features were. Even her skin was flawless. Her cheeks were slightly pink yet cool from the wind.She was quietly trapped in Elijah's embrace without any resistance, seeming rather obedient. For a moment, he felt as if time had stopped in that peaceful moment.Elijah slowly bent his head and pressed his mouth gently against her soft lips. Liesel did n

"Do you even need to drive anymore? Haven't we arrived?" Liesel realized that she and Elijah had arrived at Heritage Hotel."Don't worry. We're just here to eat." Elijah parked the car. He finally let go of her hand so he could take out the car key. "Why would I be nervous?" That was unnecessary, and Elijah thought so as well. Liesel had been to many events, so there was no reason for her to be anxious about a small gathering. Elijah held her wrist and wanted to lead her out of the car.Liesel paused for a moment while staring at Elijah's face. She took out a packet of tissue from her bag and fished out one sheet before handing it to him. She said awkwardly, "You still have some lipstick on your lips. You should wipe it off before going inside."Although she wasn't wearing makeup, she had applied some lipstick. Their kissing earlier had left traces of her lipstick all over his lips.Elijah gazed at the tissue in Liesel's hand before looking at her. He didn't accept the tissue

The attendant couldn't help but look at Liesel. She was quite different while next to Jacob. She usually put on rather elaborate makeup when she was with him, making her seem rather unapproachable. However, the current Liesel was somewhat gentle and calm and did not seem aloof at all. There was no way she could have faked her elegance. One could only say that she had such natural beauty. The attendant went into a daze just by looking at Liesel. He then accidentally noticed Elijah's disdainful expression. His dark eyes were as cold as ice. The attendant came to his senses instantly and dared not to look at Liesel any longer. He looked downward and said respectfully, "Mr. Hardin. Ms. Sharp. This way, please."He led them to the private room Elijah usually booked. The attendant knocked twice on the door as a signal before pushing the door open. Once Elijah led Liesel inside, the attendant shut the door.Elijah and Liesel stood in front of the door and did not walk inside further.

Elijah was different from Jacob. If Elijah wasn't serious about Liesel, he wouldn't have brought her to meet his friends. If he weren't serious about her, he wouldn't have reminded Jimmy to be polite to her. That was as good as Elijah acknowledging Liesel as his partner. After all, he would never simply allow his friends to refer to Liesel without respect. Liesel couldn't help but look at Elijah, who was casually flipping through the menu. Seeming to have felt her gaze, he turned away from the menu to look at her. She suddenly met his gentle gaze, and her body felt numb all over. She hadn't imagined it this time. She stared for a long time, yet the tenderness in his gaze did not fade away.His gentle gaze was comforting, making it easy for Liesel to get lost in his eyes. It was nothing like his usual cheeky self.Liesel couldn't help but smile upon noticing the tenderness in his gaze. As she looked downward, her long, fluttering eyelashes made Elijah feel a tingling sensation i

Tobey nonchalantly snatched the cigarette from Jimmy. "No one's allowed to smoke in this room today." He even intentionally threw the cigarette far away. Jimmy laughed in exasperation. "Can't you be more compassionate? Am I not permitted to smoke just because I'm single?"Tobey poured red wine. He hummed in response before saying indifferently, "You can't."Jimmy became more frustrated and even wanted to take out his lighter to light a cigarette, which earned a glare from Elijah. "Liesel doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. Control yourself."Jimmy really did stop lighting his cigarette. It was rare to see such an uncertain expression on his face. He was slightly caught off guard by Elijah's words.As soon as Elijah entered the room earlier, he had mentioned that Liesel didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Jimmy clearly didn't think much of what Elijah said. "This… Fine!" Jimmy slowly put the lighter away. He wasn't an ignorant person. If Liesel didn't like the cigarette smell

"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
