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

"Looks like Jeffrey thinks way too highly of himself. He really thought he was Heather's husband. No wonder he's got such a grudge against Xavier. What a joke! Doesn't he ever look in the mirror and wonder if he's even worthy of Heather's affection?"These were the mocking comments from people in the circle who had seen Heather before.Some younger folks, not understanding why Heather could stir such a huge uproar in the network, asked, "What makes Heather so special?"Before they even knew it, an old photo from a decade ago surfaced.It was a black-and-white picture. But the moment anyone looked at it, their eyes would be drawn to the person in the center, as if her presence alone illuminated the entire space.She wore a simple black evening dress, but she shone like the brightest star in the night sky. The dress perfectly hugged her graceful figure, and her face was like something out of a masterful painting. Her beauty was unforgettable.Her eyebrows were like strokes of art,

The Heather Mallone Jeffrey had married was actually someone with the same name. In other words, everyone had been played by Heather.From the beginning to the end, there had never been a real marriage between Heather and Jeffrey. She only used him for her own benefit.The post showed a wedding photo and certificate of marriage between Jeffrey and another woman named Heather Mallone.The foreign company offered a brief explanation, but it was obvious what they meant.It was nothing more than a warning to certain people that Xavier and Liesel were not Jeffrey's children. They were Heather's bloodline and had no connection to the Sharp family.Jeffrey's infidelity was true as well. He had an affair with Natalie's mother, Angeline Herrera, during his marriage to the other Heather. And that was how Natalie came into the picture.Jeffrey was the only one who had cheated.Natalie felt a wave of dizziness.How could this be? How could this happen? Why would Heather do this?Heather's

Jeffrey had a heart attack at home out of sheer anger. After he took his medication and regained consciousness, the first thing he did was point at Natalie and accuse her."Why did you say that? You better explain yourself! It was your mom who seduced me! Heather had nothing to do with this!" he spat.Natalie merely shoved him aside and scoffed coldly."Even now, you're still worried about Heather's reputation? You're so blinded by love for her that you can't see she doesn't care about you at all! My mom may have had designs on you, but if it wasn't for Heather's scheming, you two would never have ended up in bed together!""That still doesn't—"Natalie shoved her phone in front of Jeffrey. "Take a good look. It's Xavier being attacked right now, not your precious Heather!"Hearing those words, Jeffrey finally fell silent.As her gaze fixed on him, she clenched her teeth tightly in frustration. Her anger bubbled over, and once again, she hired online trolls to flood the internet

The internet buzzed with outrage and intrigue."Heather is Liesel's mother. Heather Mallone is the woman who first proposed the research into 3D holography at Draskia. She was the one who had her notebook sold for an insane price recently and had won design awards abroad."The daughter of the Mallone family, raised as the heiress, could never be a weakling. I didn't believe for a second she was ever humiliated into suicide!"Another netizen commented, "Exactly! That's Heather we're talking about! Who would dare betray a woman like her? Do you know how ruthless she was in the business world? She could destroy your company with a single word! Liesel may seem harsh, but compared to Heather, Liesel is soft-hearted!""Who does Jeffrey think he is to betray Heather? If he tried, she'd castrate him in a heartbeat. I totally believe this!"This was related to the Sharp family, and those who had been paying attention to it were all from high society. The scandal had dragged too many people

Natalie continued, "He just didn't want to raise a child who isn't his own flesh and blood. Is that a crime? Years ago, Zack was an upstanding teacher. Who could've predicted he'd later become a gambling addict? Who would've known that he'd do those despicable things?"My dad tried his best to find Xavier a better place. He's already done more than enough. It's unreasonable to expect him to keep caring for the disgrace left behind by his deceased wife for over a decade. Show me a man who would do that.""The ones in the wrong are the Scotts, not my dad!"The reporters were stunned.Nobody had expected this. How did Heather get involved?"H-Heather wouldn't do something like that. From what I heard, Xavier was born after Heather and Jeffrey divorced. Besides, Jeffrey cheated on Heather. Otherwise, how do you explain your existence as a love child?"Some reporters, who were fans of Heather, turned their cameras on Natalie. They challenged her accusations with fierce determination.

Jeffrey's lips were dry, and fear was evident in his eyes. "No... I can't... I can't do that... They can't insult Heather..."Despite everything, he still refused to utter a single word against Heather.Natalie trembled with rage."You're the evil one all this time, and now you're pretending to be romantic? You love Heather, but did she love you? She betrayed you a long time ago! She never loved you!"She tried to frame you! Isn't that what you said? If it weren't for her plot, you wouldn't have ended up in bed with my mom, and I wouldn't even exist! Heather's the truly vile and malicious one! She ruined all our lives! She's the real sinner!"It was all Heather's fault.If not for Heather, her mother wouldn't have become a mistress, and she wouldn't have been an illegitimate child. It was all because of Heather that she could never hold her head high in life."Shut up! Don't talk about her like that!"Jeffrey's face twisted in fury as he slapped Natalie hard across the face. "S

Liesel noticed that Austin and Alisha grew closer, and her interest in Austin reignited. She visited the cafeteria almost every day to observe Austin's every move.It was only during meals that Howard's researchers were able to leave their labs and meet with employees from the research department.The cafeteria became a place for Austin and Alisha's dates.Alisha seemed to have broken up with her boyfriend. For a while, she appeared very downcast. Austin made efforts at the table to lighten the mood. He would tell jokes and share stories and amusing anecdotes from work to help Alisha move past the darkness.The two grew closer, often appearing together.But in just half a month, they drifted apart. When they met, they didn't greet each other. They merely walked past each other as if they were strangers.Had they fallen out?Liesel didn't think the answer she saw was the full truth. The more they tried to avoid suspicion, the deeper their relationship might have been behind close

Alisha's crying suddenly stopped.Since she was working at the research institute, her intelligence was not in question. She had probably always known her boyfriend didn't truly care about her.Perhaps she had even wanted to escape this unhealthy relationship. But under the mental control over time, she had lost the ability to resist.Austin's appearance was an opportunity for a way out."I-I'll sell you the tickets." Alisha's voice was choked, but her tone had calmed.Upon hearing that, her boyfriend had lost all reason. He shouted and cursed, making a fool of himself. "You bitch! Those are my tickets! How dare you sell them? How could you date a boy toy behind my back? Are you crazy?""Shut up! I'm going to talk to Ms. Olsen about the concert. Please don't bother us." Austin seemed to have taken the phone from Alisha and ended the video call."Stop crying. Let me take you to wash your face. He doesn't deserve you…"The door opened with a slight creak, and the soft comforting

The man's voice grew even more impatient. "Then what's the point of going?""But I've bought the tickets. Each one cost over a hundred dollars," the woman murmured."My friends want to go. Give me the tickets. I'll have them go instead.""Can't we go?""The back row is too far. Can I even hear anything from there? Get someone to deliver the tickets to me now!" The man's tone was full of commands."How about I find a scalper? They should have VIP tickets," the woman suggested reluctantly. She opened her contact list to search for someone.The video call continued.At the top of the stairs, around the corner, Thomas took out his phone and began texting Liesel. "This woman is being manipulated. If her boyfriend gets the tickets, he'll surely take another woman to the concert."Liesel nodded."Should we help her?" Thomas asked.They exchanged glances. Liesel hesitated. As a woman, of course, she wanted to help prevent this fiasco, but intervening in someone else's personal matter
