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

Hardin Group didn't even include Liesel's name on the list of candidates for the upcoming dinner party. Liesel's gaze darkened when she saw the list."Do you think any of you would've been invited by Howard without me?" "Liesel, why don't you admit that you exposed Howard's location and attracted other companies' attention? Now, it's not just Hardin Group but every competitor is about to jump on this opportunity! If you had contacted Hardin Group earlier, we could've secured a private deal with Howard!" Liesel leaned back against the long table, seemingly unbothered by the fact that the chairman himself was occupying the seat that should have been hers. "Let's bet on it, then. Add my name to the list. If I fail to secure this deal, I'll sell my shares and leave Hardin Group for good." Her calm, unwavering delivery silenced the board members instantly. The board member wasn't there to negotiate deals as he knew Howard's research could rake in money. He didn't even und

When Liesel arrived at the research facility, a familiar figure was already standing at the entrance. "Mr. Donner," she greeted with a faint smile. He was Felix Donner—one of the vice-presidential candidates and the youngest son of a major shareholder, Julian Donner. His backing was as solid as they came. "Ms. Sharp, you're here too," Felix said, turning around with a smirk. "I heard through the grapevine that Mr. Durham doesn't like working with women. So, Ms. Sharp, no matter how beautiful you are, it might not help." To some, Liesel's achievements were often attributed to her appearance and her connections with powerful men. It was laughable. Felix, equipped with his privileged background, arrogance, and narrow-mindedness, genuinely believed there couldn't be a woman as competent as Liesel. That belief made him look down on her. Liesel's eyelids twitched, but her smile didn't falter. "Rumors travel fast. But if Mr. Durham truly thinks that way, then someone with yo
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 441
Liesel's lips curved into an amused smile when she heard Felix's request. Felix was a few years older than Howard, yet here he was, humbling himself with a deferential "Call me Felix" introduction. She questioned where the arrogance he'd shown earlier had gone. Felix's ability to adapt and swallow his pride when necessary was undoubtedly a strength. His success wasn't entirely due to his father's influence. As Liesel mused to herself, she found she'd wandered closer to the group.She didn't step forward to offer a handshake, introduce herself, or interject. Instead, she stood back with her arms crossed and watched the interaction unfold like a spectator at the theater. She wanted to know how Felix intended to discuss the collaboration.Felix was a useful probe, and Liesel wanted to gauge Howard's attitude toward working with their company. Felix launched into his pitch with enthusiasm. His voice was steady and unrelentingHoward, however, remained focused on the small dr

Liesel felt her head spin. Was she being hit on by a drone?Meanwhile, Felix, whose mouth was as dry as sand from all his talking, stood frozen. "What the hell?" he thought. "Wasn't Howard supposed to be the type who's completely uninterested in romance? Or was it just that no one before was hot enough to catch his attention? Does it just boil down to Liesel's looks?"He stole a glance at Liesel with a bitter taste rising in his mouth. Given Howard's power and status, Felix could only swallow his frustration.Felix pulled out his business card with a smile. "Mr. Durham, how do you find our terms? If there's anything you're not happy with, feel free to let us know. Here's my card; you can contact me anytime to discuss further."After a moment of deliberation, Felix decided it was time to retreat. Howard was too busy messing around with his drone, using it to entertain himself at Liesel's expense. He wasn't listening to a word he was saying."Let's go. I'll drive you," Felix said to
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 443
Liesel turned around with a calm expression. "Mr. Durham, is there something you wanted to discuss?" Felix shot her a warning look, which she ignored entirely. Taking a few steps forward, Liesel continued in a detached tone, "Go ahead. We'll do our best to meet your requests." Her words promised cooperation, but her delivery couldn't have been icier. Felix felt his stomach tighten. He quickly plastered on a smile. "Yes, yes! We'd be happy to help with anything you need." "I've heard that you have quite the expertise in automotive engineering." Howard was unfazed by Liesel's frosty demeanor. "As it happens, I've done some upgrades on the prototypes your company developed. Care to take one for a spin, Ms. Sharp?" Howard was baiting Liesel. He was letting her know that he'd been keeping tabs on her. It raised the question of how Howard had gotten access to Liesel's car data. It was no mystery. The vehicles involved in the accident, including Elijah's car, had all been

Ophelia was so angry that she wanted to cuss at Edward. However, before she could even get mad, she heard Edward's disappointed voice. "Are you regretting this already?"Ophelia was dumbfounded. However, Edward continued slowly, "After giving it a lot of thought, you decided to abandon me. Is that it? I know I'm not good enough… I don't blame you…"Ophelia felt a headache coming on, but the anger had vanished. "No, I'm not thinking of abandoning you."The kiss yesterday had left her so excited that she hadn't slept a wink the entire night.She thought to herself, "If I don't set the record straight, Edward's going to overthink and paint me as a playgirl."She took a deep breath. "After you kissed me… I was really happy, so I only went to bed very late."Edward was obviously also caught off-guard. He hadn't expected to hear that. With delight in his eyes, he said, "I was also really happy that you let me kiss you."Ophelia hummed, and her face flushed red. "I'm really tired," she

Brandon didn't respond right away. Fred continued, "No one taught your mother and sister how to act appropriately in society. Mr. Ford is spending his precious time teaching them what to do and what not to do. Thus, they will have to suffer a bit for this."Mr. Zima, if you really want to help them, then just give your parents the bare minimum financial aid from time to time. As for your sister… you have no obligation to provide for her. Do you understand where I'm coming from?"Brandon couldn't accept it. "My sister's reputation in the industry isn't great right now. If I don't help her, then she really won't be able to survive. Mr. Ford is also an older brother. He should understand what I'm going through."Jacob loved Ophelia, and Brandon also naturally loved Yvonne. It was because of this that he wanted to try getting forgiveness from Ophelia.Fred raised his voice. "Ms. Ford is very warm and never treats people haughtily. She has never used her family background to bully oth

With a serious expression, Brandon rattled on about the various compensations for Ophelia. Fred nearly couldn't keep his facial expression under control.It seemed like everyone already knew that Ophelia was a huge fan of Chelsea's. It couldn't have been easy to think of such a compensation.The elevator arrived on the top floor, but Jacob still hadn't given his response. Therefore, Brandon hurried into his office behind Jacob and Fred. Finally, Jacob looked at him. "There is some sincerity to it."Firstly, a public apology to Ophelia on his company's Twitter account would clear her name. Secondly, the shares would be considered as financial compensation for the mental distress caused.The third form of compensation was the key point that convinced Jacob to look up. He thought that it was too difficult for Ophelia to fight for concert tickets and produce fan merchandise herself. Now that there was someone readily available to do it, Ophelia wouldn't have to work so hard.This pers

During that time, he'd suffered through endless torment.When he was rescued, his personality had turned ruthless.Although he could be monstrous, he placed great importance on his family and friends. And, Ophelia was his beloved little sister.How could he let Yvonne off the hook for scheming against Ophelia?

He had just planned to give her a small taste of her medicine and stop there. However, Veronica had decided on her own accor

Vincent's expression turned cold. He wanted to kick her out of the house, but suddenly, Jacob's cold voice sounded from afar."Since our family is powerful and influential, why should we swallow our anger and surfer in silence?"Jacob had left a document at home, but because his assistant, Fred Foreman, didn't know where it was kept, he had to come home himself to get it. Unexpectedly, he overheard Veronica's haughty words when he returned.Well, a woman who was only pretending to be wealthy in a remote place was now acting superior in his home. Who would allow that to happen?All these years, Veronica had never been defied by someone younger than her before. Because she was much older, she considered herself superior. She didn't care if one was the heir to the family or the eldest son of the main family. At that moment, Jacob's words had made her rage boil over."Look! Look at the children that the Ford family has produced!"Jacob raised an eyebrow. He massaged the spot betwee

Edward chuckled quietly in her ear. "Where do you want to go tomorrow, Ophelia? Should I take you on an overseas getaway? Or perhaps, we could take a stroll nearby and watch a movie.""I can't go overseas; I'm not on break yet. Let's go watch a movie," Ophelia replied. "I've only watched a movie with you as my brother. This time, I want to try watching a movie with you as my boyfriend."Although Edward was still the same person, his identity had changed.She could now touch Edward openly. She could hold his hand, hug him, and kiss him.It was… really great."Alright, get some rest today. I'll come pick you up tomorrow," Edward said.Ophelia nodded and walked him to the door. As soon as she shut the door, she pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heart thudding rapidly from the kiss earlier.She hopped into bed and rolled from side to side.After Edward got into his car, he finally let out a loud laugh. He pressed his fingers to his lips, reminiscing about the aftertaste sh

As their tongues intertwined, Edward could taste a sweet and sour flavor on Ophelia's tongue. It tasted like she just had a piece of strawberry candy that made her entire mouth taste sweet.Even her breath smelled like this refreshing and saccharine fruity scent. It was as if she was enticing him to take a bite of her and swallow her.The more they kissed, the more forceful Edward got. The air around them felt syrupy and intimate."Are you sure you really have never dated before? Am I really your first? If I am… then why are you so good at kissing?" she asked like it was an interrogation.She didn't know how to kiss and was very inexperienced. However, Edward had practically conquered her. He kissed her until her knees went weak.At the thought of Edward doing this to another woman, her chest began to ache terribly.Edward played with her hair, which had become messy from the kissing. "Like I said, you're all I dream about. I don't even know how many times I've kissed you in my d

"How would you know that I also didn't have the same kind of thoughts when you secretly kissed me all those years ago?"You said that I was born in a tall tower, but I didn't get to choose my background. Meanwhile, you have climbed your way up to where I am to be with me."In ancient times, we would have been innocent and carefree childhood sweethearts. We would've been considered a match made in heaven."Edward, what I'm saying is the truth." Ophelia said each word solemnly. She stared unblinkingly at Edward as she spoke. "While you were struggling with these emotions, who said I was not struggling too?"However, I just couldn't forget you. I couldn't accept a future without you. What I wanted was to have you by my side. I wish you were my lover, and I want to be with you, Edward Ford."Her response was firm and resolute. It echoed with conviction.At the same time, she seemed to be giving her answer to the Edward who had been hiding his feelings in fear and panic for many y
