Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 448
Liesel smirked as she shook Felix's hand. "Mr. Donner, I've always considered you a friend."Julian, a shrewd figure in the Hardin Group, wasn't one of the old-fashioned holdouts Liesel aimed to remove from the company. Having one more ally was always better than making another enemy.Felix felt his earlier unease dissipating completely. Not far away, Jacob stood stiffly, suppressing his anger as he watched the exchange. Howard began to applaud lightly, beaming. His gaze lingered on Liesel's beautiful face. When Liesel moved closer, Jacob finally lost control of his composure. He strode forward and grabbed her wrist firmly. When Liesel moved closer, Jacob finally lost control of his composure. He strode forward and grabbed her wrist firmly. "Liesel, you've completely lost it!" he hissed. His expression darkened. Liesel remained calm and pulled her wrist free. Without so much as a glance at Jacob, she walked past him, heading straight for Howard. "What do you think, Ho

While Hardin Group's representatives kept silent, other companies couldn't hide their envy. Liesel's social media post about Howard's groundbreaking experiments had drawn significant attention. Each project was a potential goldmine, and no one wanted to miss out on such a lucrative opportunity.Belinda arrived late with her team from Turner Group, only to be greeted by the sight of a finalized agreement. Frustration swelled in her chest. "So, Mr. Durham, have you already decided to partner with Hardin Group?"It seems you had reached an agreement with Liesel in advance. If that's the case, why go through the charade of announcing an open search for collaborators? Did you make us come all this way just for show?"As the Turner family heiress, Belinda was not one to lose composure, even when the man she admired had chosen someone else. After regrouping, she arrived with Turner Group's research team to demonstrate their sincerity and competitiveness to Howard. Howard's smile wa

Howard smirked as his hand deftly ruffled Liesel's hair, irritating her. She took two steps back, distancing herself from him. "Tsk," he uttered. He reached out his hand casually, and his assistant handed him a remote control. He began fiddling with the small drone as he strolled.Liesel glanced at him, quickly realizing there was more to the situation than met the eye. It was clear that Howard was no ordinary person.She noticed the difference but chose not to comment. When she looked up, her eyes met Howard's. He raised an eyebrow.Those who had the same level of intelligence would understand each other perfectly with just a glance."With all that's going on, you still claim to be innocent?" Belinda's frustration was reaching its boiling point.She pointed first at Jacob, then at Howard, and finally, her sharp gaze landed on Felix."Howard's been flirting with you, Jacob came all the way here for you, and now there's this man! This man has been sticking close to you with a co

Before Liesel could respond, Felix was already speaking. "Mr. Fernsby, if you'd been the one driving earlier, would you have dared to crash into it? If not, then stop provoking me."Cooper responded without hesitation, "Of course, I would. Too bad I got here a moment too late." "I would've dared too.""Felix, think for a moment. Mr. Durham would never risk another person's life. If he told you to speed up, you should've trusted him. He would've made sure you were safe.""Do you think everyone is as spineless as you, Felix?" Several individuals who had previously worked with Felix began jeering.Felix's face turned red with anger. Pointing at them, he snapped, "Easy for you to talk! "Do you think you can accomplish what Liesel did just by running your mouths? If you were in my shoes, you'd have been scared out of your mind! And yet, here you are, spewing nonsense!" Still seething, Felix shoved Cooper. "Come on, let's go find Mr. Durham. Let's see you experience the thrill of cras

"What's the matter?" "Captain Buckner, we need you to act as a witness." Liesel explained what had happened.Reuben felt a wave of frustration. "Liesel, this partnership is something you risked your life to secure." He understood her reasoning but couldn't see the necessity of it. To him, these people weren't worth her time or effort. "Competition works this way. Opportunities shouldn't just go to Felix and me—everyone should have a shot. Otherwise, no one will be convinced of the results, right?" Liesel turned to Cooper with a mocking smile on her lips. "Mr. Durham, you've heard everything, haven't you? How about stepping in as the examiner?" Liesel gestured behind her.Howard approached while controlling a small drone with a remote. A group of researchers were right behind him.The drone darted toward Liesel and circled her repeatedly. She glanced up. Her expression was thoughtful and composed. She didn't say a word and just smiled as she waited for Howard to speak. "Wel

Should the intelligent system evolve step by step until it is perfect, or should it aim straight for a fully mature design from the outset? This was a crucial debate in the automotive industry.No company could afford the price of failure. If the system wasn't flawless and bugs emerged, the result would be one accident after another, with lives as the cost.Even a single fatality could destroy a company's reputation and force it to shut down. A large-scale disaster involving multiple accidents would be unthinkable. Howard's top priority was undoubtedly to test the system's safety, reliability, and the feasibility of gradual improvements.Once everyone finished giving their answers, they turned their attention to Howard. Liesel smirked. The small drone gently nudged her shoulder before settling there lazily. Strangely, the little device seemed to exude an air of indifference. It was almost as if it had its own personality.Howard looked up. His fingers were idly toying with the

The group's faces turned crimson. Their self-esteem was crushed under the weight of Howard's unrelenting words. Yet, they had to admit that Howard's criteria for selecting a partner were undeniably sound.Whether or not Liesel was truly exceptional, her ability to align seamlessly with his direction already placed her miles ahead of the rest.If they stirred up trouble now, they would only succeed in further embarrassing themselves.What made it worse was the presence of senior executives from competing firms. Any scene they caused would only amplify their disgrace. If the ground could swallow them whole, they would have gladly disappeared into the earth.Felix, meanwhile, silently thanked his lucky stars that he hadn't participated in answering the questions. Otherwise, it would have been humiliating.It was no wonder Liesel had risen so quickly. She must have grasped Howard's intentions long before the tests even began. Her ability to read people and position herself strategical

Liesel's true capabilities had always been underestimated. Many of the choices she made in life weren't born out of passion but necessity. For instance, despite her lack of interest in business or finance, she chose to major in finance.It wasn't because she wanted to get closer to Jacob. It was because she needed a faster way to accumulate wealth and climb to the top, where power and influence awaited.Liesel understood one unshakable truth: to have a voice of her own, she couldn't depend on anyone. Though her heart yearned for research, being a woman meant she was often seen as less capable. Few would trust her talent.Even if she achieved something groundbreaking, her name might be erased and replaced by some highly regarded figure in the field. In such a reality, she might be reduced to working in the shadows. She might become nothing more than a ghostwriter for others' successes.It was this awareness of the industry's darker side that prompted Liesel to study finance. She w

"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

Liesel's gaze was calm as she stared at Jacob, who was a few feet away. After a mere glance, she turned to leave. "Liesel," Jacob called out her name. "I had nothing to do with what happened today." Jacob had waited there so he could tell her that."What do you want me to say?" Liesel wasn't interested in saying anything at all. She merely found what he said ridiculous after hearing him out."You said you had nothing to do with what happened today. Which part had nothing to do with you?"Liesel's gaze remained nonchalant. "You said you care about me. You mentioned that you want a fresh start with me. "You said you want to marry me again and make me Mrs. Ford once more. Let me ask you. Do you know what it means when Natalie and Matthew are still around?"You're indulging Natalie by letting her hurt me without any restraint. You'll be permitting Matthew to do anything he wants and commit all sorts of crimes. "While Matthew has learned his lesson, he might still dream of takin

If Xavier really made any mistakes, Liesel would definitely back him up since she was powerful and reliable. He was very confident about that at the moment.In the past, Xavier came off as steady since he had matured early, but he was slightly immature now. It was as if he could afford to be stubborn and childish since he had Liesel as his older sister. Liesel mentioned that she could support Xavier since she was wealthy and powerful. What else did Xavier have to worry about? She was his elder sister.Liesel gazed at Xavier and spoke earnestly. "Xavier, I won't force you to make a decision, but have you truly made up your mind to major in performing arts?"No need to get nervous and change your decision because of me. I just want to know what path you want to take for your future.""I'll choose a performance major, but not immediately." Xavier continued to explain, "I'll go for a physics major first and produce some results. Then, I'll choose what I like later."Howard chuckled.
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 475
Liesel couldn't help but advise Howard. "Mr. Durham, you said Xavier should decide his own future. You've gone too far.""Have I gone too far? Not only did you not discipline him, but you're lecturing me now?" Howard pointed at himself. "I can do much worse! Xavier, you listen to me. If you dare choose to enroll in a performance major, I'll break your legs! I'll break both of them!" Howard was being completely unreasonable. Liesel massaged her temples while thinking about how things were in disarray. Although she never expected Xavier to choose a performance major, it wasn't as if he wasn't allowed to. She retorted. "Didn't you just say that I can support him since I'm his older sister? That's why he won't have a hard time making a decision since I'll be his financial backer."Howard wasn't pleased. "But he has a super high IQ.""But I'm rich.""But he has a super high IQ." Howard refused to let go of the fact that Xavier was intelligent.Most importantly, Xavier was Heather
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 474
Howard had considered everything. Heather and Jason's children definitely had the best genes. Liesel and Xavier had the power to change everything, so why did they insist on learning finance just to earn money?"Like you said, you chose finance because you had no other choice, nor the money. You didn't want to be controlled, so you took that path. "But what about Xavier? Since he has you as his sister, would he even be short of money? You'll always donate money to the laboratory if he lacks any research materials, right?"Since you'll be supporting him, that kid can decide on his own future." Howard saw through it all, and he was also worried that a promising talent like Xavier would be ruined. Liesel glanced at Xavier and paused before asking, "What do you think?"Xavier was startled. He never considered all that. In the past, his biggest dream was to escape the Scotts. Even after getting away from the Scott family, Xavier faced many issues as well and didn't have the time to

Jeffrey only officially acknowledged two daughters—Liesel and Natalie. The upper class already picked Liesel's identity apart a long time ago. Yet she was calmly informing the onlookers that she had a younger brother. Since when did she have a little brother?However, no one asked on the spot. Despite feeling suspicious of Liesel and Xavier's identities, the crowd still smiled hypocritically. Liesel must have brought up Xavier at that moment to show her support for him.Zack and Sky rushed to the party, intending to make a fuss by ruining Liesel and Xavier's reputation. Yet she acknowledged her relationship with Xavier by letting everyone know that they were siblings. Liesel had a younger brother, and his name was Xavier.Xavier stood under the light, which cast a glow on his side profile and made him seem very tall. He most likely experienced a growth spurt when he was younger, so he had a tall and frail figure. Xavier was quite handsome. Despite his gentle demeanor, he cam

Exactly. Why did the Fords have to target Liesel?Howard was never a good person. If he were the king during the olden days, he would definitely favor ministers who flattered him instead of the decent ones. He would be driven by self-interest and only appoint those who were close to him as ministers.There was nothing Howard didn't know. Besides, Howard was on good terms with Heather and wasn't close with anyone from the crowd. They weren't even worthy when compared to Liesel. Liesel was Heather's daughter, and Liesel could even be Howard's future business partner. If Howard didn't take Liesel's side, who else would he side with?Edward's gaze remained calm. "Mr. Durham, you've spoken so bluntly. Don't you know what kind of rumors might spread among the upper class? They might end up hurting her badly.""Hurt her badly?" Howard chuckled. "I'm watching over her on behalf of my old friend, Heather. If any of these rumors start flying, I'll let those people have a taste of what it's
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 471
Despite being insulted, Howard's expression remained unchanged. "Look at how pitiful Zack and Sky are. They're covered in injuries all over. "Why didn't you take them to the hospital for treatment? Instead, they're dressed in luxury clothes that don't belong to them so they can attend the dinner party."Howard cocked his head before adjusting his glasses. His gaze remained sharp. "Can't you tell that your father and brother are trying to ruin Liesel and Xavier's reputations?"If you did, you're being malicious by acting innocent and standing up for your father and brother. If you can't tell what's going on, then you're really stupid. Ms. Ford. May I know which one you are?" Howard did not show mercy to Ophelia.A few people at the dinner party could no longer take it. They began massaging their temples while muttering under their breaths. "No one kicked you out yet, so why are you speaking up for them? Why are you triggering him? Serve you right for being humiliated." Others b

Edward said with a warm expression, "Aren't you being too authoritarian, Mr. Durham? Perhaps they had only come to the banquet because they had no other choice. Why don't you hear them out? I don't think you're a stone-cold person.""Oh, you Fords were the ones who brought them here."From just Edward's words, Howard had reached a conclusion.Edward was speechless. Even though Howard had said that, how was he so certain?The smile on Edward's face froze momentarily. "Mr. Durham, my father just thought that they were very pitiful, so he wanted to help them out.""Matthew is already in a wheelchair. No matter how you look at it, he's more pitiful than they are. He should help himself first," Howard said with a sneer. He was mocking them without mercy.The calm expression on Matthew's face turned rigid. "Do you know that this banquet is for the upper class as well as researchers?" Howard directed his aloof gaze toward Edward. "Which category do you think these two fall under? Do t
