Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 287
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

Elijah was the main character tonight, so no one would force Liesel to drink. While she was allowed to have juice, the others wouldn't go easy on Elijah.Jimmy sounded bitter. "Someone finally wants Elijah. It hasn't been easy for him to remain single for so long."Jimmy's words made Elijah sound very innocent despite his rugged looks. Elijah cocked his head and gazed at Liesel with a twinkle in his eyes. "What do you think? Do you believe that innocent men don't suit you? Shouldn't you know best whether I'm pure?"Elijah was quite shameless. At first, he was rather innocent. He would only peck her on the lips and even ask for her consent first. After dating for some time, he had grown rather shameless. Liesel had no idea how long he had spent practicing his moves in his mind. No trace of his innocence remained.Elijah leaned against the back of his chair. He didn't seem focused at all, and his gaze was even somewhat playful. Jimmy was still complaining as he wanted Elijah to

Liesel wanted to use the washroom. However, since everyone else had done plenty of drinking, Jimmy was occupying the bathroom in the private room at that moment. Liesel informed Elijah that she wanted to use the bathroom outside. Although he drank a lot, there was no sign of him being drunk. His gaze still remained alert. "I'll go with you." Elijah set down his utensils and was about to get up. "No need." Liesel hurriedly held him back. "I don't need you to accompany me to the washroom. Do you still think I'm a child?"With that, she hurriedly left the room as if she was afraid Elijah would follow her. As soon as she left, the phone she left behind on the table rang. Elijah cast a glance at the phone number on the screen. It was so familiar that he could even recite each digit. He pursed his lips. His icy gaze was filled with mockery and hatred toward the phone number. He let the phone ring a few more times before swiping the screen to answer the call. He held the phone by h

Liesel continued, "If you knew I hadn't even entered the race yet or felt confident assembling my own model when I gave you that car, would it make you feel any better? Picture this—I spent my very first bonus entirely on that car, entirely on you. So tell me, why do you still think I owe you anything?"Why didn't she give Jacob the car she had customized herself?Was it because she didn't want to?No. It was because she cared too much about him.She had worried that the car she modified back then hadn't been thoroughly tested and might have safety issues. She was overly cautious.She cared so much that the timing of giving that car kept getting delayed. Delayed until...they divorced, and she gave it to Elijah.Looking back now, maybe that was a better outcome."Everything worked out fine, didn't it? We're divorced. I gave the car I modified to the man I truly love. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"Liesel felt bored. She had no desire to keep talking to Jacob. She lo

Liesel's gaze flicked toward Jacob, who was standing close by, and a sneer curled on her lips. "You said you're not okay with this? Well, now you understand. You don't even deserve to feel that way."Liesel turned on her heel. She was ready to leave. Her gaze swept across the room, landing on Denzel, Alex, and the others.Alex leaned lazily against the wall. He'd had a drink but hadn't overindulged. His suit jacket was slung casually over one shoulder, and his rolled-up shirt sleeves revealed his well-defined forearms.His messy bangs didn't quite hide the sharp gleam in his eyes. His lips curved in a faint smirk as his gaze flicked briefly over Liesel.They were far too familiar with each other for formalities. He merely raised a brow in acknowledgment before shifting his attention to Natalie. He let out a mocking chuckle as he did.Denzel was still dressed in his usual suit, though without the jacket. In just a simple shirt and tailored trousers, he exuded a clean and composed d

Charles was nothing if not calculating.Liesel hadn't outright said she didn't want to attend the dinner, but Charles' remark had been a dig at Elijah and his crew for stepping in and declining on her behalf.And, of course, there was a second layer to his comment. If Liesel did end up helping Jacob home—or if anything else happened—it would be entirely her decision. Nothing to do with them.It was a masterclass in veiled barbs.Everyone present was sharp enough to catch the subtext. In fact, the whole scene was dripping with tension.This wasn't just any random group of people. Each of them was a heavy hitter in their respective circles. If any one of them made headlines, the ripple effects would be felt throughout the financial world.On most days, even the grandest events couldn't gather this crowd. Yet tonight, they all happened to show up at Heritage Hotel.From afar, some had already noticed the two groups were halfway between a standoff and a casual chat. The only thing a

Drew and Tobey's assistant, Kellan Valencia, were both speechless.During the Woolhope negotiations, Drew had represented Ford Corporation, while Kellan was there for Lark Corporation.In the end, the two sides tore each other apart so badly that a small foreign startup swooped in and stole the deal. What should've been a promising collaboration ended in disaster, with a third party reaping all the benefits.This incident barely made waves domestically, and few knew about it.Drew and Kellan turned into sworn enemies because of that negotiation, each blaming the other entirely.How could they be a team? There was zero chemistry!"Charles, you and Brodie must share some kind of cosmic bond, don't you think? You two should reminisce about last year's bid for the Crullfeld land," Liesel continued."After all, you fought tooth and nail, prepared all those project proposals, only for the whole thing to get shut down because of a historic artifact discovery. I mean, how often does tha

"I'll never leave him." Not ditching Elijah meant Liesel was rejecting Jacob. After speaking, Liesel refused to talk to Jacob any longer. She didn't even see the struggle and pain in Jacob's eyes as she turned to leave. Even if she noticed, she probably didn't care anymore. Elijah and Liesel got into the car. Xavier didn't get into the same car with them, but he was still tactful enough to hitch a ride in Reuben's car.Liesel drove in silence toward the apartment lobby. "Stop being angry, okay? I apologize." Elijah drew Liesel into his embrace.Although she didn't struggle, she didn't return his hug either. Without a word, she held the remote and drone Howard had given her.Although Elijah held Liesel in his arms, seeing her current expression made him feel terribly empty inside. He kept kissing Liesel's cheeks and ears while murmuring his apologies. "I like you." His hoarse voice sounded pleading. "I said all that because… Lili, I don't want to manipulate you into staying w

Jacob remained standing from a distance while watching Liesel and Elijah's interaction in silence. Jacob became lost in his memories as he recalled that Liesel had never been that affectionate with him before.She wanted to get close to Jacob, but he never opened up to her. Whenever Liesel got close to Jacob, he would handle things with her in a professional manner. They had an employer-employee relationship at Ford Corporation, but they acted more like strangers back at their apartment.Liesel and Jacob couldn't even be considered friends. They would only communicate whenever they needed to satisfy their physical needs.Jacob had seen the most charming side of Liesel, and she only showed him her gentle side. However, Liesel was only ever that carefree with Elijah. In the future, they might be much more affectionate with each other. Elijah… Why didn't he die in the car accident? Why did he survive?Jacob's gaze darkened. His eyes were filled with obvious disdain. "Elijah,"

"I'm willing since it's you." Liesel leaned forward, drawing her lips close to his ear. Her warm breath lingered seductively. It was almost as if she were about to lean into his embrace."Do you really like me controlling you?" Liesel asked Elijah, who hummed in response. "Do you really like being possessed? You've loved freedom for your whole life, but could you give it up for a specific person at certain moments?" Liesel asked. Elijah gazed at her. His expression was unchanged. "Yes, if it's for you."Liesel brushed her lips against his ear before asking in a low voice, "Did you pursue me back then because I didn't like you, and you enjoyed the feeling of not getting what you wanted?"Elijah paused after hearing her question. He scratched his nose and felt slightly guilty. He already had an idea of what Liesel was about to ask. Elijah had clearly gone quiet. Liesel also had an idea why he remained silent. She couldn't help but click her tongue."You lied to me that your b

Liesel's gaze was calm as she stared at Jacob, who was a few feet away. After a mere glance, she turned to leave. "Liesel," Jacob called out her name. "I had nothing to do with what happened today." Jacob had waited there so he could tell her that."What do you want me to say?" Liesel wasn't interested in saying anything at all. She merely found what he said ridiculous after hearing him out."You said you had nothing to do with what happened today. Which part had nothing to do with you?"Liesel's gaze remained nonchalant. "You said you care about me. You mentioned that you want a fresh start with me. "You said you want to marry me again and make me Mrs. Ford once more. Let me ask you. Do you know what it means when Natalie and Matthew are still around?"You're indulging Natalie by letting her hurt me without any restraint. You'll be permitting Matthew to do anything he wants and commit all sorts of crimes. "While Matthew has learned his lesson, he might still dream of takin

If Xavier really made any mistakes, Liesel would definitely back him up since she was powerful and reliable. He was very confident about that at the moment.In the past, Xavier came off as steady since he had matured early, but he was slightly immature now. It was as if he could afford to be stubborn and childish since he had Liesel as his older sister. Liesel mentioned that she could support Xavier since she was wealthy and powerful. What else did Xavier have to worry about? She was his elder sister.Liesel gazed at Xavier and spoke earnestly. "Xavier, I won't force you to make a decision, but have you truly made up your mind to major in performing arts?"No need to get nervous and change your decision because of me. I just want to know what path you want to take for your future.""I'll choose a performance major, but not immediately." Xavier continued to explain, "I'll go for a physics major first and produce some results. Then, I'll choose what I like later."Howard chuckled.

Liesel couldn't help but advise Howard. "Mr. Durham, you said Xavier should decide his own future. You've gone too far.""Have I gone too far? Not only did you not discipline him, but you're lecturing me now?" Howard pointed at himself. "I can do much worse! Xavier, you listen to me. If you dare choose to enroll in a performance major, I'll break your legs! I'll break both of them!" Howard was being completely unreasonable. Liesel massaged her temples while thinking about how things were in disarray. Although she never expected Xavier to choose a performance major, it wasn't as if he wasn't allowed to. She retorted. "Didn't you just say that I can support him since I'm his older sister? That's why he won't have a hard time making a decision since I'll be his financial backer."Howard wasn't pleased. "But he has a super high IQ.""But I'm rich.""But he has a super high IQ." Howard refused to let go of the fact that Xavier was intelligent.Most importantly, Xavier was Heather

Howard had considered everything. Heather and Jason's children definitely had the best genes. Liesel and Xavier had the power to change everything, so why did they insist on learning finance just to earn money?"Like you said, you chose finance because you had no other choice, nor the money. You didn't want to be controlled, so you took that path. "But what about Xavier? Since he has you as his sister, would he even be short of money? You'll always donate money to the laboratory if he lacks any research materials, right?"Since you'll be supporting him, that kid can decide on his own future." Howard saw through it all, and he was also worried that a promising talent like Xavier would be ruined. Liesel glanced at Xavier and paused before asking, "What do you think?"Xavier was startled. He never considered all that. In the past, his biggest dream was to escape the Scotts. Even after getting away from the Scott family, Xavier faced many issues as well and didn't have the time to

Jeffrey only officially acknowledged two daughters—Liesel and Natalie. The upper class already picked Liesel's identity apart a long time ago. Yet she was calmly informing the onlookers that she had a younger brother. Since when did she have a little brother?However, no one asked on the spot. Despite feeling suspicious of Liesel and Xavier's identities, the crowd still smiled hypocritically. Liesel must have brought up Xavier at that moment to show her support for him.Zack and Sky rushed to the party, intending to make a fuss by ruining Liesel and Xavier's reputation. Yet she acknowledged her relationship with Xavier by letting everyone know that they were siblings. Liesel had a younger brother, and his name was Xavier.Xavier stood under the light, which cast a glow on his side profile and made him seem very tall. He most likely experienced a growth spurt when he was younger, so he had a tall and frail figure. Xavier was quite handsome. Despite his gentle demeanor, he cam

Exactly. Why did the Fords have to target Liesel?Howard was never a good person. If he were the king during the olden days, he would definitely favor ministers who flattered him instead of the decent ones. He would be driven by self-interest and only appoint those who were close to him as ministers.There was nothing Howard didn't know. Besides, Howard was on good terms with Heather and wasn't close with anyone from the crowd. They weren't even worthy when compared to Liesel. Liesel was Heather's daughter, and Liesel could even be Howard's future business partner. If Howard didn't take Liesel's side, who else would he side with?Edward's gaze remained calm. "Mr. Durham, you've spoken so bluntly. Don't you know what kind of rumors might spread among the upper class? They might end up hurting her badly.""Hurt her badly?" Howard chuckled. "I'm watching over her on behalf of my old friend, Heather. If any of these rumors start flying, I'll let those people have a taste of what it's
