Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 380
"I would never force my personal opinions on you. However... as you all know, companies that have already made breakthroughs in 3D technology have accumulated strong financial backing. After 3D comes holograms... and what comes after that?"What I offer you is always the latest cutting-edge technology. Tell me, what can anyone else provide you with that can match that? Immediate gains or long-term benefits—what is it that I can't offer?"Greed was a part of human nature.You give someone a hundred, and they'll want a thousand. You give them a thousand, and they'll want ten thousand.Liesel didn't know what the Hardins were offering, but whatever it was, she could certainly offer more. In the face of immense benefits, small, petty gains couldn't compare.The deals she could bring in were big deals and not empty promises. Just her recent 3D imaging had already caused Hardin Group's stock prices to skyrocket.Even with what happened to Elijah, Hardin Group's stock barely even droppe

Liesel smiled as she glanced around the room. The room fell into silence, but Uriah couldn't resist sneering. "You claim Hardin Group will collaborate with Shifter Corporation, but does saying it make it true? Do you think you're the CEO of Shifter Corporation? You're not Neal!" Jordan's gaze fell. His eyes were cold and sharp as they landed on Uriah. "I think my presence here already answers that."Richard was nearly driven to fury by Uriah's outburst. He quickly reprimanded Uriah and told him to keep quiet. Though he was partial to his youngest son, Uriah was nothing but a fool! He always said the wrong thing at the worst possible time. Jordan was standing here himself. What more needed to be said? As the vice CEO of Shifter Corporation, Jordan had full authority, just as Liesel, the vice CEO of Hardin Group, did. Together, they more than represented their companies. Besides, it was obvious Jordan was here to support Liesel. Uriah's reckless words risked offending him.

Richard let out a bitter laugh."Liesel, those assets belong to Elijah, which means they're part of the Hardin family's inheritance. Naturally, we'll ensure they stay within the family."Liesel smiled. Her smile was breathtaking, but the cold glint in her eyes was impossible to ignore."Then perhaps you should consider why Elijah didn't leave those assets to you but entrusted everything to me instead."It was a sharp question. If their bond had been so strong, why would Elijah bypass his family and give everything to her?The answer was simple: he didn't trust them. He knew the Hardin family was a bottomless pit, a maelstrom of greed that would swallow everything.If his assets fell into their hands, they would never see the light of day again. Elijah left everything to Liesel not just out of love but because he trusted her, knowing she was the one person who wouldn't betray him. The Hardin family, on the other hand, was different. Their endless hunger for profit would destro

Jordan had already sent people to investigate the mastermind behind the recent incident. To everyone's surprise, the names at the top of the list were none other than Liesel's own family. Jeffrey and Natalie. Their insatiable greed and jealousy made it impossible for them to leave Liesel and Scott alone. To Natalie, Liesel's very existence was a constant affront. To Jeffrey, Scott was a stain on his reputation. He wanted to take revenge.Had Elijah not insisted on leaving Liesel behind this time, she too might have been caught in the car accident. Liesel knew that her family were scapegoats, but that didn't mean she would let them off lightly. As she was leaving, Liesel crossed paths with Neal, who had rushed over to see her. Seated in her wheelchair, she looked up at him with a radiant smile. "Neal, you came to see me." "I've been swamped recently, so I'll have to leave the financial summit preparations to you and Jordan," Liesel said with a hint of apology. "You're t

Neal pinched Liesel's ear as he chided with a hint of jealousy in his tone, "Calling someone else your brother right in front of me? How bold of you." Neal wasn't exerting any force. He just couldn't bear to hear her calling someone else her brother.Liesel crossed her arms and teased, "Well, blame Jeffrey. He sowed seeds everywhere, so now I have plenty of brothers and sisters." Caleb couldn't hold back his laughter. "He may have spread his seeds far and wide, but not everyone qualifies to be my sister." Liesel smirked. "Of course. Only someone like me is worthy." Given her status, it was obvious that Caleb was the one benefitting from this connection. After ending the call, Liesel began to consider her next move. She wasn't going to show mercy to Jeffrey. "Neal, do you want to join me in some mischief?" she asked. Neal perked up and humored her. "That depends. What kind of mischief are we talking about?" Liesel hesitated for a moment. She worried that Neal might thin

Liesel only ever showed this kind of vulnerability in front of Neal. Neal raised his gaze while watching her quietly. The warmth from her grip on his wrist seemed to seep into his very core and spread all through his body. He looked down before letting out a familiar chuckle. The dangerous, untamed aura he carried was now completely subdued.He ruffled her hair and said, "You didn't fix yourself up even after you came back. Look at your hair. It's a mess." As he spoke, he began tidying her slightly disheveled hair.Liesel smiled softly.Neal ruffled her hair again. It was a wordless reassurance."Back to the topic. Tell me what kind of mischief you want me to help you with." He was still 'fixing' Liesel's hair.Liesel explained, "Neal, since you already know everything, you must realize Sharp Group is on the verge of collapse. I plan to attend today's board meeting and personally see to it that Jeffrey is removed from the upper management. "And right in front of him, I'm g

Where there was drama, there was Jordan.Liesel naturally didn't say anything. She considered hitching a ride in Neal's car when she suddenly thought of a very real problem.Ever the law-abiding citizen, she said seriously, "Neal, you weren't in Draskia the past few years. I bet you only have a driver's license from Matristan, so even if you buy a car here, you can't drive it. If you get caught, you'd be sent to prison. You can only drive once you get the local driver's license."She remembered clearly that the past few times Neal visited her, he had a driver to drive him around.Neal's head began to throb.Liesel fiddled with her keys, allowing Neal to push her wheelchair.Despite her frail wheelchair-bound frame, she could still talk Neal's ear off. Because of his sudden return, she was able to ignore the headache and discomfort she was feeling. Aside from some fatigue, she was able to endure the other aches.Setting aside the pain, Liesel didn't forget to tease Neal. "It's so

Jeffrey totally had no idea how Quinn had been able to rise from the ashes and establish Lambert Corporation, going after Sharp Group like a rabid dog.Not for the first time, vile thoughts filled his head. He should not have shown her any mercy back then; he should have just killed her too after getting the Lambert family assets. At least he'd have saved himself all the trouble now!Tugging on his tie, he chuckled coldly. "Quinn, why have you brought your unwanted son to the Sharp Group board meeting? Your vision must be deteriorating with age if you cannot distinguish between Sharp Group and Lambert Corporation anymore."Caleb was unfazed. He merely laughed quietly before replying in an indifferent tone, "My mother and I have always paid special attention to the Sharp family affairs. Seeing how you've raised Ms. Natalie, my mother and I couldn't help but keep our distance. "I am very grateful to you for showing us mercy and letting both my mother and me live. Because of that, m

Agreeing with the sentiment, everyone knew choosing Liesel was the right decision given her capabilities. She was more than ready for this.As Liesel stepped into the elevator, her destination was clear— the Research and Development Department. The display numbers rapidly decreased until they reached B5, where the doors smoothly opened.She walked out confidently, and everyone who passed her would pause to respectfully address her as "Ms. Sharp." Her expression remained gentle yet distant. She maintained a professional barrier.After dropping her belongings in her office, she headed to the Research and Development Center to meet Howard. The familiar whirring sound echoed through the brightly lit corridor, and before she could spot Howard, she noticed a red toy plane. The little aircraft's lights blinked as it circled around her a few times, then gracefully turned to lead her forward. As they passed through the corridor, they entered a vast laboratory that gleamed under brilliant l

There were indeed people who paved the way for Liesel, but her rise to the top was ultimately due to her own capabilities.Everyone heard about multiple candidates inviting Howard Durham to join their companies.Liesel was exceptionally hard on herself. She had a sharp wit, was perceptive, calm, capable, and had extraordinary looks.She leveraged every one of her strengths to their absolute fullest.Regardless of whether it was with Ford Corporation or Hardin Group, it was only a matter of time before she made her mark.Liesel accepted the promotion with a polite "Thank you."Felix smiled stiffly as he clapped. He now understood that Liesel was out for blood. He was genuinely worried that Liesel wouldn't recognize his attempts to align with her and might see him as an enemy. That was why all he could muster was an awkward smile.Cold sweat dripped down his temple. For a moment, he struggled to find the right words to explain.Liesel noticed Felix's unease. "I've already drafted

Anyone who harbored any ill intentions toward Ophelia would find themselves a target of the Ford family's plot and removed from the picture."You're a smart guy to be able to tap into my virtual chat room and make it this far. Are you reaching out to discuss a partnership?" Liesel typed.She made no effort to look into any information related to Stanley. Liesel first encountered Stanley at a party at Alden University. All she knew about him was that he came from a humble background. However, he carried himself with class, making her suspect that he was far from ordinary. She didn't expect to come into contact with Stanley again. Stanley approaching Ophelia was a bold move considering Matthew's protectiveness over his daughter. He was brave to do so.Liesel refrained from digging for more information as a test of his sincerity. She was waiting to see if Stanley would come clean."My parents passed away the same year as Ms. Mallone. Following their passing, my relatives fought t

Edward didn't dodge the cup that Matthew threw at him. It hit him squarely in the forehead. Blood trickled from the wound, dripping steadily onto the cold, smooth floor.Edward lowered his gaze. A trace of gentle humor still lingered in his eyes.He wiped the blood from his face."Do you think I've made a mistake, Father?" Edward asked with a smile.Matthew slammed his hand hard against the armrest of his wheelchair."You're well aware that I don't want Ophelia exposed to any of this!" His voice trembled with a fury that was hard to contain.To Matthew, Ophelia should live in an ivory tower and remain forever a pure, carefree princess untouched by reality.He wanted her to have the best…"Father."Edward took out a wet wipe and methodically cleaned the blood off his hand. "Ophelia is the future heir to the Ford Corporation. She will be the true helmsman of the Ford family. I will reclaim the Ford Corporation and personally present it to her. Ophelia cannot afford to remain n

"But… But… Liesel said…""Why does what Liesel said matter? Ophelia, we are your family. Liesel divorced Jacob. She chose to leave Ford Corporation to join the Hardin Group. She's already made her choice—she opposes both the Ford Corporation and the Ford family. "Stop listening to Liesel, Ophelia. Trust me and Dad. We would never hurt you. We're the ones who love you the most."Ophelia's eyelashes fluttered as the foundation of everything she'd been taught since childhood began to crumble.She had a feeling that Edward was forcing her to make a choice.Though she could be naive at times, she wasn't an actual fool. She could discern truth from lies.By saying this much, Edward was essentially telling her that the world wasn't black and white and that they were standing in a gray area.He wanted Ophelia to choose and realize that she and Liesel were not allies. He was her ally.Deep down, Ophelia knew that Howard was right. But did that automatically mean that her brother's word

Liesel's smile reached her eyes after she heard Elijah's decisive response.Something warm filled his empty heart as Elijah gazed at her bright smile. His restlessness and irritability settled instantly. The vague pain and inconsolable fear he felt had been mollified.He pulled Liesel into a tight embrace as if trying to make her part of himself.…After Matthew and Edward left the dinner party, Ophelia felt too humiliated to stay any longer.She had grown up in a world where everything was either right or wrong. She always believed that her father and brother were the paragons of goodness. They embodied everything that was right. She saw them as her role models. How could they possibly be the villains described by Howard?Ophelia had met so many people who praised her for her beauty and brilliance. No one had ever called her cruel, let alone foolish.Everything she experienced today was too much for her to process. She felt as though she was falling apart."Why did you do that

"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
