Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 387
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

"Is an old man who doesn't even know basic manners worthy of becoming the head of Sharp Group? It's no wonder Sharp Group is lacking ambition, stagnant, and on the brink of bankruptcy."Caleb had been raised by Quinn, so Jeffrey's words from before had angered him. Even though he didn't let the emotion show on his face, every statement he made was a barbed spear aimed straight for Jeffrey's chest.The board members in the meeting room said nothing, but they had all come to their own decision.Actually, although Jeffrey had privately bribed them with gifts and money, those were just personal transactions. There wasn't any evidence left behind, much less a binding contract that mandated them to vote for him at the board meeting.Not only that, but Caleb didn't say anything wrong.Jeffrey was indeed old. It was because of his old age that he'd done all those careless things.After Heather died, Sharp Group had tanked to rock bottom. They were unable to regain their former glory. Jef

Caleb despised Jeffrey so deeply that he wanted to hurt him with every word. He would only feel better if he could rub salt into Jeffrey's wounds until Jeffrey wished he was dead.Jeffrey pointed at Caleb while yelling angrily, "You're spewing nonsense! Why don't you show some real capabilities?"One of the board members, Paul Schwarz, tried to mediate. He chuckled and said, "Why don't we invite the board members who would like to run for leader to share their plans for Sharp Group for the next few years?"Jeffrey snorted haughtily. He proposed a very safe and conventional plan. Not only did it involve continuing to manufacture medium-quality fabrics and collaborating with other fashion companies, but he also had intentions to establish a mid-to-high-end clothing brand called "Vividity Clothing."He was very confident in the brand he created. He also proposed engaging top celebrities to become the spokesperson of the brand, as well as collaborating with celebrities to introduce a t

The board members had differing thoughts. The way they looked at Jeffrey had changed.In the past, they would have refused to believe that a woman could have such a great influence on a business.However, the catalyst for Sharp Group's downfall recently was no one else but Liesel. Therefore, they had no choice but to think twice and raise their guards.Caleb surveyed everyone's expressions. Then, he continued to attack Jeffrey with his words. "Moreover, many huge brands have already launched live streaming on short-form content platforms, where they engage in-house streamers to sell their clothing. During special events, they even invite celebrities to hype up the live stream.""What a joke! Selling clothes on live streams? Do you really think our brand is cheap and marketed to country bumpkins? We want to establish ourselves as mid-to-high-end! We cannot sell at a cheap price. Those people watching the live streams would have to be able to afford it!"Jeffrey was the first one to

"Mr. Sharp, I also don't want to see Sharp Group die in your hands. You should understand where I'm coming from."Jeffrey roared angrily, "The name of this company is Sharp Group! It's Sharp Group, not Lambert Group or Schwarz Group!"Caleb tilted his head slightly while smiling darkly. "Didn't this company used to be named after the Mallones? In the end, wasn't it changed to Sharp at the last minute? It wouldn't hurt to change it to another last name now."Jeffrey stumbled to his feet while gritting his teeth. He felt like Caleb had come here just to target him. It was like he was born to be his worst enemy!No, Jeffrey couldn't allow himself to be defeated by Paul or Caleb.With the shares he held and the support of some board members, he would still be able to secure the prized CEO position. No one could chase him away!Jeffrey felt his blood pressure rise with anger. His face paled, but he kept staring fixedly at Quinn. Like a maniac, he chuckled darkly. "I'm afraid you must

Jeffrey glared at Liesel. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to appease her.He knew how ludicrous Liesel could be. He'd have to drop money just to talk things out with her!But he didn't have money to pay off his daughter now!Caleb just arched an eyebrow. He'd always followed the news closely, so of course he knew how popular Liesel was. He'd also seen many pictures of her before. Yet, he was still stunned by her beautiful face seeing her standing right in front of him."You're finally here. I thought I wouldn't get to see you, dear sister," he teased with a smile. He purposely called Liesel his sister to piss off Jeffrey, reminding him that he and Liesel were also "blood relatives."Liesel didn't hide how gleeful she was to watch some drama unfold. She was in full support of giving Jeffrey a hard time. "What are you saying, dear brother? Of course, I will do as I promised you and Ms. Lambert. "I had arrived a while ago, but while standing outside the door, I wanted to h

The board members' eyes lit up. When Caleb mentioned reconciliation with Liesel earlier, they had all thought that it was impossible.However, they had never imagined that Liesel would actually join forces with Quinn and Caleb to go up against Jeffrey!After giving it some thought, they suddenly felt like it made sense. A bastard like Jeffrey should get his reckoning.Jeffrey patted his chest while gasping for breath. "Liesel, you shut your mouth! I am your biological father! You can't do this to me!"Liesel scoffed. "My brother is also your biological son. How does it feel to have your blood-related children get their revenge on you at your board meeting? Do you like this gift I gave you?"She had purposely used the word "blood-related" to poke fun at Jeffrey's speech from before.Jeffrey wanted to spew even more furious words, but Liesel furrowed her brow and clicked her tongue. "You should shut your mouth. You're too noisy. I want to get my revenge swiftly and quickly, not hea
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 394
The other board members exchanged glances before coming to a decision.They were just fair-weather friends, so there was no such thing as showing support for a friend. Profit always took priority."I also think that Mr. Lambert can lead us to greater heights!""I'm happy to leave Sharp Group in Mr. Lambert's hands from now on."The well-dressed board members put on faux smiles, and their derisive sneers from before were nowhere in sight.Liesel wondered curiously why Jeffrey hadn't said anything. Could her words have really spooked him just now? But it didn't sound like him at all.However, the reason Jeffrey was quiet now was because Neal's face terrified him. Right now, it felt like a cat had gotten his tongue, and he was unable to formulate any sentences. All he did was stare at Neal's familiar face, feeling like he was plunging into a depthless abyss as if he were in a waking nightmare.All the board members present gave Jeffrey looks of pity.His clever son, Caleb, had bee

"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
