Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 436
Toby froze. His legs nearly gave out when he heard who it was on the phone."Had enough pictures?" It was Liesel.Toby's heart pounded so hard he could hear it in his ears. The rush of adrenaline left him lightheaded. "Ms. Sharp… you knew?""I know Jacob sent you. Go ahead and upload tonight's photos and videos online. Don't worry about me."Toby was speechless."Are you sure about this, Ms. Sharp?" He was asking if Liesel was truly choosing Elijah."Did I stutter?"Toby let out an awkward chuckle, and Liesel hung up without another word."What the hell just happened? Who called you and scared you so bad?""Don't tell me you got served court papers or something.""You're being too quiet. What's going on? What shook you so badly?"The group crowded around Toby. He swallowed hard and recounted what Liesel had said. The room fell silent. After what felt like an eternity, someone murmured, "Was that Liesel's way of confessing to Elijah?"It was. She unapologetically used that f

Nothing was going according to Jacob's plan. Liesel was insane. She had drawn the curtains wide open and kissed Elijah in full view of the world. She waited for the moment she would be seen. She didn't care about telling the internet who her choice was. They were just collateral.She had to know Jacob had sent Toby. It was her way of fighting back. She wanted him to know she had chosen Elijah.Liesel was as ruthless as ever.He had hurt her once, and that was her revenge. She'd rather choose a cripple than Jacob.Jacob dialed a number. His voice was hoarse and laced with barely controlled anger. "Take down the trending posts. I don't want to see any of that by tomorrow."There was a pause before Charles responded, "Can't do it."Jacob's mind raced as he questioned why the posts couldn't be erased. The only explanation was that Liesel had gotten involved.Without another word, Jacob hung up and replayed the video. He imagined himself in Elijah's place, but reality always broke

"Well, that's a relief."Liesel logged into her Twitter account, uploaded all of Howard's research data without altering a single word, and tagged a small anonymous Twitter account.She captioned her post, "Thank you, Mr. Durham, for this opportunity to collaborate. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at the dinner party." To top it off, she included a photo of Howard's handwritten letter.Reuben raised an eyebrow. "You posted all of it?"Liesel crossed her arms. Her expression had a subtle hint of amusement."Didn't you say there wasn't anything that couldn't be made public? Mr. Durham's brilliant work deserves to be shared with the world."The sloppy, near-unreadable handwriting was enough to invite mockery from anyone who saw it. It was a calculated strike.Liesel would make sure to flip someone's world upside down before they could even react if they ever crossed her.Still riding the wave of attention from her public confession to Elijah, Liesel's latest post quickly ca

Liesel Sharp had just unlocked her phone while waiting for her IV drip to be done when she received a message from her best friend, Chelsea Walden. "Jacob's back."She faltered. She and Jacob Ford had barely spoken throughout their month-long cold war, so she had no idea he was back.Soon, she received another message. "He's brought a young woman back with him."A photo had been sent with the message. The young woman in the photo resembled Liesel a little—she was Natalie Sharp, Liesel's younger half-sister. She'd been raised in the countryside.Chelsea continued, "The Sharp family is throwing them a welcome-back party. Do you want to crash it, Lili?"She knew what Liesel was like. Liesel would give Jacob a taste of his own medicine if he dared to do anything to her. There was even a chance she would set the Sharp residence on fire.Liesel checked her IV bag. She'd had a high fever for three days now, and the back of her hand was swollen from the constant IV drips she'd been on. S

Liesel had taken a week of sick leave. She'd only learned about the transfer when returning to work.A colleague gossiped with her, sounding pointed as they said, "I bet you still don't know this, Ms. Sharp. We have a new secretary whose last name is also Sharp. It looks like there's something special about her."Liesel didn't expect to hear that. Had Jacob actually given Natalie a job by his side?Soon, Jacob summoned Liesel to the CEO's office. When she entered and stood before him, he looked at her indifferently. "Since you want to stay at the company, continuing to hold the position of my personal secretary isn't appropriate."The project department manager was transferred to a branch company, leaving a vacancy there. The timing is just right."Liesel knew very well that Jacob had always been clear-headed. He would never allow her to cause Natalie any discomfort or disappointment. Rather than saying the transfer was his recognition of Liesel's abilities, it would be more accur

Liesel's heart twinged slightly, but she said calmly, "I reminded Ms. Natalie about the stock handover. The office has surveillance cameras. You can check the footage if you don't believe me, Mr. Ford."Natalie paled. Tears welled in her eyes, and she said pitifully, "I-I probably didn't hear you because my mind wandered. That's why I made such a mistake."Liesel ignored her. "We can't let Hardin Group manipulate us for stocks worth millions of dollars. I'll handle this, but the company also has rules to uphold. Natalie will need to be reprimanded accordingly."She turned and left the office to check on the stocks. Now that they'd already been accepted, from a legal perspective, Ford Corporation had no choice but to swallow its woes and live with the situation.Still, there was hope for this. Uriah Hardin, the third son of the Hardin family, managed Hardin Group. However, his brother, Elijah Hardin, was the second son and favored by his family. He also wanted to usurp Uriah's posit

Liesel held the pregnancy test tightly. "I'm not sure yet."Her period had yet to come this month, and the retching from before… She suspected something was up."What are you going to do if you are?" Chelsea looked at her hesitantly. "Will Jacob accept it?"Liesel dropped her gaze. Jacob would never want a child she'd brought into the world. Besides, they were already divorced—it was bad for them both if she were to keep the child… even if it was one she'd longed for in the past.After a long silence, she said, "No, he won't. There's no point in keeping lingering attachments or forcing someone to do something against their will. If I'm pregnant, I'll get an abortion."She'd waited for a baby that hadn't come over the past three years. Now, it was long past the time for that.Liesel was in a bad mood, so she didn't do the pregnancy test on the spot. Instead, she and Chelsea had some drinks. Well, she only had a sip or two of a drink with the lowest possible alcohol content.She o

Liesel looked at Jacob. Her tone was calm as she said, "I don't owe Natalie anything, nor do I owe you. Work-wise, I'm only her senior. Regarding my personal life, my mother didn't owe her anything."Natalie came knocking on our door when her mother chose to marry another. No woman can accept her husband's illegitimate daughter. She might have had Natalie sent to the countryside, but Natalie was also given more than enough money to survive there."I don't owe her, whether professionally or personally. Why should I be more accommodating and tolerant of her? Why should I back down when facing off against her?"When she finished her speech, silence descended upon the car. Jacob looked at her. She wore a simple dress that clung to her curves, and her delicate features were arranged into her usual mask of aloofness.There was something cold and tenacious about her. She was so brilliant that one could almost neglect her beauty.His gaze flitted over her eyes. After a moment of silence,

"Would they love me like you do? Or would they just drain me of everything I'm worth?" Liesel was genuinely curious. "If you love me, then stay with me forever. Don't ever give anyone the chance to hurt me again."If you care so much about your legs, I'll contact the best medical team. I'll build a research institute if I have to. I can do so much for you, just like Heather did for Jason. So, please, stop saying we're not a good match. We're the perfect match."Liesel stood up and braced her hand against the nearby furniture. At this moment, she seemed taller and more commanding."Look into my eyes, Elijah. Tell me. What do you see?"Elijah froze. His gaze locked onto hers. In those usually calm eyes, he saw an overwhelming depth of emotion that made his throat tighten."I think you can tell the difference between love and indifference. So, what's your answer?"Before he could respond, Liesel pressed on, "Never mind. Even if you want to hide, I won't let you retreat any further."

"You could at least do something to earn my respect," Liesel said. "You've injured your legs, and you acted like it's the end of the world. It's not like you've lost your manhood. And even if you did, we can always have a platonic relationship. Anything works when the person is right."Do you hear me, Elijah? Love between a man and a woman does involve physical attraction and intimacy, but that's not all of it. True love comes from the resonance between two souls, from the empathy and connection they share."Even as she spoke, her words circled back to the real issue. She was still angry at Elijah for giving up on himself.Elijah's voice was hoarse as he responded, "I just can't bear it, Lili. You're so wonderful. Have you ever seen the kind of twilight where the entire sky is bathed in warm orange hues, and stars begin to twinkle faintly at the horizon?"That kind of twilight feels like it bridges heaven and earth. I've been to many places in my life, but that twilight was the onl

"Elijah, do you know how upset I was?" Liesel asked.Elijah's injuries were severe. His entire body was battered. Even his strikingly handsome face bore scars. His right arm was broken, and his chest, back, and legs were covered in countless wounds.Anyone else would have clung to Liesel like a lifeline, terrified that she would abandon them. But Elijah just wanted to push her away."What can I say, Lili?" Elijah's tone carried a hint of helplessness. "It feels like whatever I say now will just be wrong. Do you want to judge me? You're welcome to do so.""I just don't understand." Liesel held his hand. Her grip was gentle as if afraid of causing him more pain. "What do you take me for? What do you take yourself for?"This world has so many people suffering because they lack money or power. But we have both. You're incredibly hot, and you're standing at the pinnacle of society. So what if your legs are injured? There are countless people worse off than you. Why let this drag you do

Reuben handed Liesel a red-covered envelope, but his expression was strange as he did so. Was there something hidden in the letter?Liesel opened it, and her eyes twitched as she read the few words written inside. "What is this?"The writing looked like a tangled mess of worms twisted together into a few sentences. It wasn't just ugly—it was excessively so.Reuben fell silent for a moment. "It's not that hard to read."Liesel handed the letter back to him. Her gesture clearly said, "If it's so easy, you read it."Reuben's face remained as calm as ever. "Liesel..." He simply said her name before stopping."It's not important. What matters is that the only person who can match Howard's intellect and keep up with his progress is you. Since he wants to meet you and the authorities want you to be involved, I hope you can take this collaboration seriously, Ms. Sharp."He said it wasn't important, but actually, he just couldn't read Howard's alien handwriting.Liesel clicked her tongu
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 431
Belinda's verbal attacks only made Liesel realize one thing—Belinda wasn't a particularly smart person.Once truly intelligent people understood their opponent's cards, they wouldn't provoke them so recklessly, without considering the family's reputation or the consequences of their actions.It was selfish, cold-hearted, immature, and laughable.Liesel was already pushing Elijah's wheelchair out of the Turner residence's living room when Reuben nodded slightly at Nathan. His commanding gaze swept over Belinda as he murmured, "The younger generation of the Turner family needs to be properly taught manners."With that, Reuben left with the special forces.Glaring at their retreating backs, Belinda ground her teeth, but her expression was one of desolation.She could feel the vast distance between her and Liesel. She was unwilling to accept her defeat. She wouldn't just hand Elijah over to Liesel. One day, she would take Elijah back, no matter what.Liesel remained unaware of Belin

But since Heather had chosen her lover over her children when she was forced to make that choice, she was doomed to carry that guilt for the rest of her life.She had made her choice, and it was a mistake. Maybe it would be easier if she truly believed she was heartless.Since Liesel and Xavier were her and Jason's children, they had to be exceptional. Only then could they truly live up to their brilliant bloodline.Heather arrived at the research facility and looked at the man lying quietly on the bed, who was slowly recovering. Crouching on the cold floor, she gently held his hand and softly rubbed it."Jay, do you think I've made a mistake?"There was no response.Only the soft whisper of the breeze could be heard. Though it was the height of summer, the air felt unnervingly cold.Heather gazed at Jason, who was still trapped in his deep slumber."Jay, when you wake up, we'll go back to Ashthorne. They may not accept me, but they'll accept you. We can… go home together."Sh
