Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 301
Natalie thought to herself that she would make Jacob keep his promise. She was going to get everything she wanted.For a moment, Jacob seemed lost in thought. His mind wandered to a memory from years ago.Back then, Ford Corporation was growing too quickly. As its heir, Jacob had become a target for rival companies.When he was just a teenager, he had been in a car accident and was abducted to a rural town in Holmfirth.He was taken to a human traffickers' den, where they planned to sell him off to some remote area or even overseas.Among the other abducted children was a little girl, who turned the tables on their captors. She rallied the kids, outwitted the adults, and escaped with him through treacherous forests and streams.The girl, with a smile in her eyes, had gently touched his head. Her voice was sweet as she said, "I won't let them take you. I'll get you out of here. I'll save you. You have to trust me, okay?"Her eyes shimmered as though she was holding back tears. "Y

"Jake, you promised to protect me," Natalie said as she tried to ensnare Jacob.Deep down, she knew he probably didn't love her anymore. But did that matter to her? Not one bit.If she couldn't have his love, she would take his name and his status. She had sacrificed too much to walk away empty-handed now."I will protect you," Jacob replied as he looked up. His deep-set eyes lingered on her, and the faintest trace of a bitter smile tugged at his lips—one he didn't even notice himself.Had he really been saved back then?Why did it feel like he was still trapped in that abduction, unable to escape or move on?His entire life seemed destined to be lived out in guilt and bound by the weight of that debt of gratitude.What right did someone like him have to hope for more?"Go back." He looked at Natalie while struggling to suppress the pain within himself. "I've had too much to drink."The moment he stood, Natalie's eyes flickered with a flash of triumph. She moved to grab his ar

Jacob's gaze lingered on the clothes. He couldn't bring himself to throw them away.After all, Liesel had worn them. If she ever came back, seeing these things would make her feel like she had never left.His eyes darkened.He was sure that Liesel would come back. She would definitely return one day.…It was rare for Jacob to post on Twitter, so when he uploaded a photo of a plush toy, it immediately went viral.Liesel had just posted a picture, calling Elijah "Mr. Hardin" in the caption. Then, Jacob shared a picture, which seemed so out of character for him. It quickly overtook the trends.The next day, Elijah saw the trending topic when he woke up. His brows raised in amusement.He could already tell what had happened. Jacob had definitely been thrown off balance.He had probably seen Liesel's post last night, and then, in a drunken stupor, decided to share that picture.It was clearly something Liesel owned.Elijah snickered. He opened a shopping app and ordered every si

Discussions continued to flood Twitter."Mr. Hardin's tweet is definitely a response to Mr. Ford!""Emmm... So both Mr. Ford and Mr. Hardin are in love with Ms. Sharp? I can't believe that Mr. Ford would end up the loser in this battle.""Yeah… It's hard to imagine that a playboy like Mr. Hardin would actually win.""I think I figured out why Ms. Sharp left.""I think I have too.""It seems like it wasn't about any business competition at all. She left to avoid being pursued. Seriously? What the hell!"Elijah stirred things up early in the morning, sending all three of them straight into the trending topics.By the time Liesel saw it, she couldn't help but laugh in frustration.Elijah quickly apologized but showed no remorse. If anything, he seemed quite pleased with himself."I don't think I did anything wrong. He came at me directly. If I kept hiding, it would look like I was scared."Elijah, who was surrounded by all the plush toys, proudly said, "They're mine.""So chil

Natalie hadn't seen Liesel for the past few days, and Jacob's post had driven her mad. So, when she finally spotted Liesel tonight, she stormed over to demand an explanation.Her reasoning was simple. Liesel had left, but Jacob still thought about her, which meant she was seducing him. It was all Liesel's fault, not Jacob's."Watch your words, Natalie. After that night we saw each other, I haven't had anything to do with Jacob. I'm not interested in being a third wheel in your ridiculous relationship, and I certainly won't be his mistress. I'm not you."You're blocking my way, questioning me like a shrew, when you should be thinking whether Jacob really loves you." Liesel's tone dripped with mockery."Don't think that bringing this up will change the subject!" Natalie's face twisted in fury. With an angry lunge, she grabbed Liesel's wrist tightly.Liesel winced at the pain. Frowning, she said, "Let go.""Liesel, there are so many men in this world. Why do you have to go after a t

If Liesel ever seriously considered starting a business, with the influence she had now, people would probably think they were getting a deal by investing in her—if she even allowed them the opportunity.Liesel looked straight at Natalie. "You can go ask Drew and Charles. They'll show you how much of a joke you are."One last thing. I've already left Ford Corporation. From the start, I've never clung to Jacob. I'd suggest you take care of your own man. Don't let him keep bothering me. It's just causing me trouble."Her voice grew sharper as she spoke, "Also, instead of coming to me, you might as well focus on keeping your man in check. Since he was able to land you recently, he could easily find someone else tomorrow."With so many women out there, can you really control him? There's always one who doesn't mind being the other woman. If you're going to confront anyone, it's better to start with him."You're willing to trust a man like that and stick with him? I wouldn't have the g

Liesel asked, "Are you planning to step in and save her? Since you're from the same company, you probably should. But Natalie won't appreciate it."She'll think you're stepping in as Ford Corporation's executive secretary and are snatching away her opportunity. Worse, she'll see your presence as making her look even more foolish. She might think that if you stayed out of it, she'd somehow manage to handle everything on her own."She's just too arrogant. In her mind, she's no less than you, me, or Drew."Liesel chuckled at her own words. She found the absurdity of the situation genuinely amusing."As you know, I'm Ford Corporation's secretary. I can't just stand by," Charles replied.Liesel knew that, of course.Charles was emotionally distant. Jacob was the only person he saw as his close friend.Even though Liesel had worked with Charles for three years, their relationship remained nothing more than that of ordinary coworkers. For him, profit always came first.Natalie's feeli

Cesar was stunned. "Wait… D-Didn't you say on Twitter that you already left Ford Corporation?"Liesel looked as though she had just heard a hilarious joke."Mr. Baker, Ford Corporation is a massive enterprise. Before I leave, I have to wrap up all my responsibilities. Everyone wants to work with Ford Corporation, but we also need to be cautious about who we choose to work with, don't we?"Her voice was polite, but there was an unmistakable chill beneath it. Her implication was clear.Cesar had deliberately targeted Ford Corporation this time by using Natalie as a way to push for a deal. But he had picked the wrong target.Liesel looked up. "Mr. Baker, the Ms. Sharp Mr. Ford referred to is Liesel Sharp, a member of the Iron Triangle of Ford Corporation. Not just anyone can take my place."I'm the Ms. Sharp who can represent Ford Corporation. So, are you here to discuss a collaboration with me? You should be aware of my rules, Mr. Baker. Without a full project proposal, you won't e

"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
