Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 355
"Liesel!" All of Matthew's plans had gone to waste because of Liesel's retaliation. Matthew wanted to ruin Ford Corporation and Hardin Group. He even plotted against Liesel, who saw through his scheme. That was why she had ruined his schemes right away. "You're truly like your mother! So troublesome!" Although Heather was dead, Matthew couldn't even live peacefully. Meanwhile, Liesel was alive, ruining his defenses in every way. He had no other way out. Fine. Are you insisting on playing the game, Liesel? Matthew's expression darkened. He clenched his fists and slammed them on the table. Liesel couldn't blame him for what was about to happen. From today onward, Matthew planned to ruin everything Liesel wanted and anyone she wished to protect.After all, Liesel wanted to play with fire. She liked Elijah and cared for Xavier. Hence, Matthew would start things off by destroying them.He wanted Liesel to end up the same way Heather did. She wanted her to lose her loved ones

Heather exhaled lightly while caressing Jason's hand very gently. "Jay, you're going to lose all your muscles if you don't wake up anytime soon."She placed his hand against her own cheek. "Jay, you responded to me today, didn't you? Since you already responded, you should wake up as soon as possible."Heather's voice was very soft. "I'm not a good mother, but Lili and Xavier need a proper father. They're waiting for you to wake up."Heather always knew very well that she was a cold-hearted person. She had invested all her feelings in Jason. If her research for holography was successful, she was determined to trigger Jason into waking up. If the research failed, she would accompany Jason forever while he remained in a coma. Liesel and Xavier were the last of Jason's bloodline. Did Heather care about Liesel and Xavier? Of course, she did, but her feelings for them were just a drop in the ocean compared to how she felt for Jason.That was why Heather said Liesel and Xavier need

Based on Xavier's personality, Liesel assumed he would leave after the college exam. He would move out to his own villa once grown up. "Of course, I'll be there. Seeing how outstanding you are, the headmaster would probably ask you to go onstage and give a speech. I'll be watching you carefully." Liesel's voice sounded playful.Xavier seemed unsure how to continue the conversation with Liesel. He hummed in response before ending the call.Elijah was seated on the couch in the ward while going through his documents. He adjusted his glasses. "Was that a call from Xavier?"Liesel nodded. "He invited me to attend his graduation ceremony."Things had been far too busy lately, and Liesel often found herself in hot water. Hence, she felt much better after receiving a call from Xavier. "Do you think I should prepare a gift for him? What should I give to him? A pen?" Before Liesel could finish speaking, Elijah massaged his temples before speaking in a teasing tone."Babe, have you forg

Once it was time, Liesel and Elijah went to pick up Xavier at the villa. Xavier was startled for a moment after noticing Liesel's delicate makeup before looking away uncomfortably. He asked, "Why didn't you sit in the wheelchair? Don't be so stubborn if you haven't fully recovered.""I'm almost fully recovered." Liesel had just started explaining when Xavier turned to look at Elijah. "Where's her wheelchair?"Elijah deliberately chuckled at that moment, seeming amused at the sight of Xavier taking care of Liesel. Elijah merely shrugged and acted innocent after Liesel cast him a fierce glare. It went without saying that Elijah had told Xavier. Since he couldn't convince Liesel, he had secretly contacted Xavier. He had an idea that Liesel would not object to Xavier.Men were such scoundrels. Elijah leisurely paced back and forth beside Liesel at that moment and sighed. "Oh, someone's only willing to listen to Xavier and not me."Liesel stepped on Elijah's foot hard in revenge,

Helena had very high hopes for Xavier. Her words "I encourage you to take your future into your own hands and forge your path to greatness" had fully captured the hopes she had for him. Helena hoped that Xavier would become Alden University's top student.Xavier looked up at Helena. Although she was getting older, she still remained alert. She always had been gentle and elegant. He often received help from her while living with the Scotts for many years. In fact, Helena also proposed for the highest scorer to receive a scholarship so Xavier could receive the funds.After learning what happened to the Scotts, Helena changed the scholarship to fully exempt Xavier from paying the school fees. She also supplied free lunches and textbooks because she couldn't bear to see Xavier's talents go to waste. Xavier glanced at Helena with a determined expression before bowing. Helena smiled in relief. "Go ahead. Lead the other students and take the oath together to welcome the upcoming col

"Xavier's very happy. You don't have to feel so guilty about certain things." Elijah told Liesel, who looked downward a little with a faint smile on her lips. "Just because he's happy now doesn't mean he wasn't hurt before. I can only do my best to make it up to him.""Sometimes, you can focus more on yourself instead." Elijah reached out to pat Liesel gently on her head. He drew his hand back with a secret chuckle after Liesel glared at him.It was the night of Ashthorne First High School's prom night. Some female students were already secretly casting glances at Xavier. There were even students who began shoving a pretty girl to Xavier's side. Anna McCarthy had round cheeks and delicate features, and she looked gorgeous. At that moment, her face was completely flushed, yet she was still casting furtive glances at Xavier with pursed lips. "Xavier, will you dance with me?" Xavier put a hand in his pocket and looked into the distance with slightly pursed lips. "I'm really sorr

Liesel had always known that pregnancy, miscarriage, or childbirth could cause significant damage to a woman's body, but she only truly understood it after experiencing it herself.She felt weak and dizzy. She was occasionally seeing spots and dry-heaving. Her legs were unsteady, and her entire body felt like it was walking on cotton.But this was Xavier's graduation prom night, and she wanted to dance with him.She wanted to tell him that she was there for him and he wasn't alone."Come on. Dance with me," she said with a smile.Xavier paused for a moment before taking her hand again and pulling her into an embrace. He could clearly smell the faint scent of herbs on her. She'd been drinking medicine lately.She had really been through a lot.As they danced, Xavier looked down to meet Liesel's eyes, which were always gentle and smiling whenever she looked at him.Sometimes, Xavier thought that the way Liesel looked at him didn't seem like the gaze of an older sister at her youn

Xavier continued, "Now I get it. You didn't refuse to let me grow up with you. You chose a path for me that would let me survive. You wanted me to have an easier, carefree life. And when I got hurt, you were right there in danger too."Even now, with all that you've achieved, they still insult you because of your gender. It seems like the only way for you to avoid their malice is to climb higher, to stand at the top and look down on everyone."You wanted me to escape this life, but you're trapped in the nightmare forever. I've figured it out now."Xavier held Liesel's cold fingers and awkwardly mimicked Elijah's usual gesture to warm them up. "Can we forgive each other?"He would forgive her for years of neglect and disregard, and she would forgive him for hurting her.She was his sister, and he was her little brother. They were a family.Although Xavier only said to forgive each other, Liesel could almost read his true feelings in the depths of his eyes.Her throat tightened, a

"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
