Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 388
"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

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

After leaving the conference room, Liesel sat back down in her wheelchair. She was still very weak and had to rely on makeup to hide her poor state of health. Earlier, when she cursed at Jeffrey, she had had to lean on the table for support.After unleashing her anger, she began to shiver. Rubbing her forehead, she began to have suspicions.She was eating healthy food and wasn't cutting calories, so why was her iron so low? That miscarriage had left such a huge impact on her body.Walking behind Neal, Jordan felt like he'd just been used. Even though he'd expected to watch some drama go down, he was also only just there to make Liesel seem more impressive.Neal was pushing Liesel's wheelchair out when Caleb ran over to stop them. "What's the matter?" Neal asked with a cocked eyebrow.Caleb raised his hands to show his innocence. "I didn't chase after you to snatch your sister from you.""If you're not here to snatch my little sister, then why did you chase after us?" Neal shook h

Liesel's frown faded away, and she looked at Thomas gently. "Before leaving the research department that day, I noticed that the logistics department was hiring. It doesn't matter what I do as long as it's a job. That's why I went for the interview," Thomas explained.Thomas couldn't tell Liesel that his father, Cameron Keller, had arranged for that job as a punishment for him. As long as Thomas could see Liesel daily, he was willing to take on any job. It didn't matter, even if he had to work as a laborer, food delivery driver, or security guard.Thomas, whose heart was beating like mad, remarked awkwardly. "My job at the logistics department is quite lucrative. I get about three thousand dollars a month."Thomas vowed to give up his salary every month to Liesel in the future. As he looked up, his sly gaze had turned innocent. The corners of her lips lifted, and Liesel couldn't help but chuckle. She always remained alert whenever she worked with those old codgers at Hardin Grou

It was hard to describe Liesel's radiant beauty, making it hard for anyone to resist her. Men and women alike stole a few more glances whenever they walked past her. Thomas Keller abruptly came to his senses and asked his companion to push the cart. "You can take this."His companion noticed Thomas' flushed face and understood instantly. He began teasing Thomas. "What? Not brave enough to walk past her? If you won't do it, I will."Thomas patted his sweaty palms against his blue uniform before adjusting the brim of his cap. He fixed his gaze in Liesel's direction.He stood rooted to the same spot and dared not to move. He was afraid that he might startle Liesel, who wasn't far away.Thomas' two companions teased him a while longer before wheeling the large boxes away. Initially, the two men were having a jolly time together, chatting and laughing. Yet they lowered their heads and stopped talking. They walked past Liesel in silence. Liesel took a few steps back. She stared at a

When it came to writing reports, data analysis, and sorting documents, Austin completed all of it on his own. He was quick and delivered good work. Even with a workload that other employees couldn't even finish working overtime, he was always able to submit on time.As if to build relationships, he would always work overtime every day and help others with work.After half a month, he'd already blended in with everyone else. Everyone greeted him with a warm smile when they saw him, and they never ran out of praise for him.This made Liesel think back to her school days when she had been equally as stupid.In high school, she had done the same thing. She would always help people with the work that they couldn't finish, thinking that it was the best way to grow closer to others and become one of them.However, she was wrong.No matter how much labor an old ox did, it would never integrate into human society.Also, at the time, she had gone to a high school for the wealthy, while

"People always say that family doesn't mean much when you're gravely ill. And that's not all. They're not even related by blood. They're just lovers.""If it were me… those assets might keep me happy for a while, but I don't think I could really accept taking care of him for the rest of my life."The researchers murmured amongst themselves. They thought that they were being quiet. However, Liesel and Elijah could actually hear every single word.Elijah's face remained calm, but his hand slowly tightened on the armrests.Liesel's grip also tightened.She couldn't bear to listen to this.She turned around, and her gaze was razor-sharp. "All of you, hand in your resignation letters to the HR department. Hardin Group will compensate you accordingly."Hardin Group didn't need these people.The employees exchanged glances. The leader of the group flushed. "Ms. Sharp, we—we didn't do anything wrong though…"They would be crazy to take a few months' worth of severance pay and leave Ha

"You must be Elijah," Howard said leisurely.Before Elijah could say anything, Liesel's expression turned chilly. Looking down, she said coolly, "He is my fiance. He's the one I'm going to be spending the rest of my life with.""I didn't say anything." Howard shrugged lazily."You'd better not say anything in the future." Liesel regarded Howard. "He is the person I chose. No one can make any decisions for me. He's the only one that I'll love."Who was she implying?It was Heather.Howard caught onto that. His gaze darkened slightly, but he still kept up his uncaring facade. "That's your business. It has nothing to do with me.""Liesel, it's my fault," Xavier couldn't help but say. His voice was slightly hoarse.Actually, he still hadn't moved on from the nightmarish car accident the other day.To Xavier, there was nothing wrong with Elijah. The latter loved Liesel enough to give her everything. As a man himself, he knew that Liesel was all Elijah cared about and that he would

Liesel could feel Howard's attacks getting weaker. She quickly wrote another program, and in the next second, the door to Howard's break room opened.How come Howard had let her break through his firewall so quickly?No matter how she looked at it, he wasn't that understanding of a person.Cocking an eyebrow, she saw that Xavier had shut down Howard's computer.Exactly. The room that Liesel had arranged for Xavier was right next door to Howard's, so he'd just entered through the window.Howard was sitting on the couch with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, looking rough around the edges. He didn't seem anxious nor mad. He simply spat the unlit cigarette into the trash can at the side."So, why did you go through all that trouble to look for me?" he asked while rubbing his eyes. He did look rather tired, with dark circles lurking beneath his eyes."Xavier is planning to join the research department. Take him under your wing.""Oh, has he thought it through?" Howard's eyes lit

Xavier looked like he was wondering why he was caught in their flirting. Liesel couldn't help but laugh. Elijah reached out to hold her hand. He massaged it gently. "Be good."As expected, she stopped playing around and smiled at him."Take Xavier to the research department to have a look. I saved him a room to learn and study in. It's right next to Howard's break room," Liesel said, chuckling. "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Of course, you can also bother Howard anytime."Naturally, she was in full support of Xavier bothering Howard.Xavier also caught the other meaning of Liesel's words, but he said nothing. Actually, she didn't have to say it. She was busy with Hardin Group's operations, and sometimes, she had to get involved in some of the projects and research, so she didn't have much free time. Only Howard was lazy and had free time on his hands."I get it."The employees in the research department were already a little demoralized because of

What Thomas didn't see was Ethan—dressed in a black suit—pushing a wheelchair into Hardin Group. Upon catching sight of Thomas, Elijah lowered his gaze and said, "He looks familiar."Ethan immediately replied, "That's Thomas Keller, the son of Cameron Keller. It seems like Mr. Keller has his eye on Ms. Sharp and wants her to take his son under his wing."Cameron's son—that well-known rebel.Elijah remembered hearing that this person had a similar reputation to his. While he was known as Ashthorne's thug, Thomas was known as the thug of the neighboring city."Lili doesn't have time for that. Have someone turn down Mr. Keller's request."Ethan hesitated. "Mr. Keller offered an extra five percent on the new contract."How generous.Elijah's gaze darkened. "Do I need the money? Have someone turn him down.""Understood, Mr. Hardin."…After Thomas left, Aaron and the other interviewers went to the bathroom. Liesel stayed in the conference room. She was flipping through the remaini

With a pale face, Thomas planted his hand on the back of his chair and stood. With shaking knees, he forced himself to calm down before giving Liesel a deep bow. "Please give me a chance. I will work very hard!" he said lamely.Aaron and the other two interviewers reveled in his sorry state.Liesel walked around the desk and extended a hand to give him a handshake. Thomas immediately gripped her hand. He was stunned when he felt the softness of his palm."You're still young; there are plenty of opportunities out there. The research department has very high requirements, so your chances of getting hired are not high. I'd suggest you give the design department a shot. This is my name card. Take it and talk to the manager. He can find you a suitable position."After a few comforting words, she pressed a name card into his hand.Thomas' heart was bleeding. At the same time, he was lost in Liesel's gentle words of consolation and unable to escape from his infatuation. This mix of pai
