Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 370
If Liesel truly was the head of Shifter Corporation, it would change everything.Shifter Corporation had revolutionized domestic commercial capital.It was the first Draskian company to establish a foothold abroad. It broke into the Fortune 500 within a year and dominated the fields of renewable energy and cybersecurity in just three years. Now, it was a global powerhouse that businesses worldwide sought to partner with.The idea that such a company—one that inspired awe at the mere mention of its name—belonged to Liesel was staggering.Denzel sat silently on the couch for a long time.He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. At this moment, he couldn't say a single word. He even felt that anything he said now would be pointless.How deeply had Liesel once loved Jacob to the point of forgetting who she was?She had set aside all her glory, all her accomplishments, just to get close to him. And in return, she had received only indifference and harm.Denzel's throat

Fragments of charred sports car debris lay scattered across the ground. Liesel's wheelchair couldn't navigate the terrain. Jordan was forced to help her walk into the chaos. The midday sun was hidden behind a sky darkened by thick clouds that cast an eerie gloom over the mountains. Black smoke rose in columns and merged with the clouds as if the earth was lamenting the devastation.The scene was grim as there were piles of smashed cars. Faint cries for help drifted from within some of the vehicles. When they drew closer, twisted wreckage of vehicles could be seen as jagged shards of metal glinted faintly amidst the shadows. Occasionally, sparks flickered from damaged car parts.The stench of burning rubber and gas was vomit-inducing. It forced anyone present to hold their breath.Flashing red and blue lights from police cars against the gray skies added an unsettling edge.It wasn't just law enforcement that came as paramedics swarmed the area. Their bright reflective vests s

Neither outcome would satisfy Jordan. If Elijah was crippled, he would no longer be worthy of Liesel. If Elijah wasn't, then Liesel and Shifter Corporation were sure to suffer severe losses. Either way, Elijah had become an obstacle Jordan hadn't anticipated. He needed answers so he could act. The oppressive heat and humidity broke as rain poured down in torrents. Sheets of water blurred Liesel's vision as they slammed against the ground. The sharp, metallic sound of rain on the wreckage pierced the air and intensified the stench of the wreckage. Liesel clutched at her chest while trying to suppress the wave of nausea clawing its way up her throat. "Let's go back. I know Elijah is alive." She didn't elaborate further. She lowered her gaze as she headed back to the car. Once inside, she pulled out her phone and scrolled through Elijah's last messages. "Heritage Hotel just introduced a new seasonal dish. Should we take Xavier there after his exams?" Before Liesel could

Matthew stood still. His gaze was fixed on the large screen in the lab. Liesel's uploaded video was on an endless loop, and his eyes glimmered with unsettling obsession.The faint sound of movement behind him drew his attention. He turned and towered over Elijah who had just begun to regain consciousness on the hard floor."Mr. Hardin, we meet again."Elijah leaned against the icy wall while fighting to stay awake. His right arm hung at an unnatural angle. It was dislocated. With a sharp breath, he held it with his good arm, and with a sickening crack, he pushed it back in place.His lower body was in agony. He was in so much pain that his face paled. Sweat soaked through his shirt as he forced himself to meet Matthew's gaze."I suspected it might be you, but I didn't think you'd have hundreds of cars go after me just to prove me right. I'm flattered.""Oh, don't flatter yourself, Mr. Hardin. It wasn't just me." Matthew stepped closer."You've made a lot of enemies. Did you real
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 374
Elijah's gaze remained cold. "You should know by now that the Hardins are eager for me to solidify ties with the Turner family through marriage. Liesel would never tolerate a betrayal like that."Matthew's eyes widened. He glared at Elijah with a hatred so intense, it was as if he were facing his mortal enemy."You're insane! With Liesel by your side, why would you even consider someone like Belinda?"Elijah hadn't contacted Belinda. He wanted to convince Matthew that his ties to Liesel were irreparably broken. He didn't want Matthew to continue to have a hold on her. He couldn't bear to be Liesel's weak link.Elijah clenched his fists as his expression clouded with sadness. He didn't need a doctor to tell him how broken he was. He was nothing more than a cripple now. Someone like him had no right to stand by Liesel's side.The woman he loved deserved a man who was exceptional in every way. And yet, that someone could never be him.Liesel was surrounded by extraordinary men like

"The Hardins claim that Mr. Hardin was a hopeless romantic who foolishly left all his assets and shares to Liesel in his will. If they can't find Mr. Hardin's body, Liesel becomes the sole beneficiary. She'll inherit years' worth of the Hardin Group's wealth!" "Get rich and lose the husband? That's definitely suspicious!" "The issue is that Liesel cheated with Elijah. She moved on seamlessly, only to have her child with Elijah miscarried shortly after leaving Ford Corporation. And now Elijah's in trouble? Who wouldn't think Liesel's involved?" "If I were one of the Hardins, I'd be fuming too!" "If Liesel orchestrated all this, she needs to be investigated thoroughly. She's a cold-blooded murderer who doesn't see people as anything but obstacles to her ambitions!" "Liesel's no saint, but are the Hardins any better? Let's be real—they only care about what Elijah left behind. Otherwise, why call a board meeting at a time like this? Why not focus on finding Elijah? It's absu

"I'm not crazy, but sitting in a wheelchair for negotiations is not my style." Jordan rubbed his temples. "Ms. Sharp, you're stunning enough. You could sit in a wheelchair and still be the most beautiful person in the room. Can you just be reasonable for once?" "No," Liesel shot back. "If I'm sitting in a wheelchair next to you, it'll make you look better than me. I can't have that." Jordan was annoyed. It wasn't his fault that he was good-looking. "Fine. I'll bring the wheelchair, but you don't have to use it. Just promise me you'll call if you feel like you need it. I'll be right there." Liesel trusted Jordan completely. But she knew that showing even a hint of weakness would give the board members ammunition to undermine her. They'd latch onto the fact that she was recovering from a miscarriage. They would turn that into a weapon to question her capability.When they arrived at Hardin Group, the board meeting was already underway. Employees gave Liesel suspicious loo

Liesel raised her gaze. Her eyes were cold as they locked onto Uriah. The chill radiating from her was impossible to miss. "And who exactly are you supposed to be?" she asked with one hand resting lightly on the edge of the table. "I worked at Ashthorne for three years and never once heard of some grand figure like you at Hardin Group." She made a shocked face. "Ah, Mr. Uriah. My apologies. It's been so long since I've seen you. You look so diminished. Have you lost your appetite? Or maybe you're just too weak to keep up." The remark was a blatant jab. Everyone in the room knew it hadn't been long since Elijah ousted Uriah from his position at Hardin Group—a coup that wouldn't have been possible without Liesel's support. To Uriah, Elijah couldn't have taken Hardin Group away without Liesel. She was the reason he had lost everything. He slammed his hand on the table as he stood abruptly. "Liesel! Without you, do you think Elijah would've had the guts to take Hardin Group

"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
