Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 461
"Congratulations on winning the opportunity with Howard."Charles said it as if he didn't feel like he'd lost to Liesel. Or perhaps, he was trying to act like he didn't care in front of her.Liesel stopped in her tracks. She looked at Charles, who was smiling gently.Charles always had this mask on, elegant and generous. Sometimes, he would seem cold and distant, but he would never let anyone see what he was truly thinking on the inside. He was powerful, yet terrifying.Even though she had worked at Ford Corporation for three years, she had never truly understood him.Or perhaps… she had never understood the dark side of him.She knew that Charles was a very thorough and meticulous person. She also knew that he put a lot of effort into his work. However, when she talked to him, she just never got that feeling from him."It's Howard who wants to work with me, not the other way round. You should know the interests or stakes in this," Liesel said lightly, not hiding the coolness in

The moment Drew spotted Charles, he tensed.Charles looked him up and down then abruptly broke out in quiet laughter. "It seems like you've come to a decision. That's good. Liesel does lack a trustworthy assistant right now, so going to her would be perfect. When do you plan to leave?"He spoke like he was only making small talk, but Drew felt himself shiver. "I haven't decided yet," he said in a dry voice."Once you've made up your mind, let me know," Charles said in a low voice. "I'll throw you a grand farewell."In the past, when Liesel was still a part of the Power Trio, Charles had trusted them completely. He had seen them as his own people, so he'd opened up his heart to them. However, Liesel's departure had taught him that no one could be trusted so easily. Thus, after that, many of Drew's privileges had been stripped away.He now treated Drew like how he treated other people—he secretly pressured them.He had never seen Liesel as a friend, and that wasn't going to cha

At that moment, Edward's phone suddenly rang. Matthew's name flashed on the screen. Frowning slightly, Edward answered. "Father," he said. His voice was stable and calm like always."Edward, are you back? There's an important banquet going on tonight. I hope you can attend," Matthew said over the phone. His voice sounded dangerous and obsessive."I see. I'll be there," Edward replied curtly then hung up.He turned toward Ophelia and Stanley helplessly. "It seems like I have to go and get ready. I have a banquet to attend later.""No worries. We'll drive you home," Ophelia suggested. At the same time, she turned to Stanley to seek approval.Stanley nodded in agreement.Stanley could clearly feel Edward's probing gaze sizing him up. However, he had a calm temperament. He also didn't think Edward was important enough to care about, and he didn't mind being the object of hatred for no reason.The three of them left the airport. The entire way home, the air felt a little tense. Altho

Stanley didn't come from a good background. Even though he was known as the Finance Genius of the finance faculty of Alden University, industry experts wouldn't actually regard him highly.Edward had only made that suggestion so that Stanley would clearly see the gap between him and Ophelia.He wasn't worthy of her.Ophelia was evidently caught off guard. She turned to look at Stanley to seek his opinion, and the latter merely smiled."Sure."Ophelia immediately agreed.When Matthew saw the three of them alight from the car, his eye twitched, but he said nothing. He just nodded with a smile and led them toward the banquet.Ophelia chatted away with Stanley, while Edward pushed Matthew's wheelchair with a stormy look in his eyes. "Who did this to you, Father?"Matthew wouldn't have gotten hurt unless someone had been out to get him."Liesel." Edward's gaze darkened. "I will make her pay the price."Matthew's eyes gleamed dangerously. "I don't need you to do anything for now.

Ophelia blushed shyly, while Matthew's face was expressionless. Edward then said with a slight smile, "Ophelia is still young. Father and I always worry that Ophelia isn't mature enough yet. When it comes to marriage… it's still too early."Matthew had never thought about letting Ophelia get married. His idea was to pull someone in for Ophelia. Once he'd robbed the Ford family assets, he'd give everything to her, making her the heir of the family.This was his true plan.…Back at the banquet, Liesel glimpsed someone who wasn't supposed to be here—Matthew, sitting in a wheelchair. He was severely injured. His head was still wrapped in bandages. Still, he wore an elegant smile on his face.Standing protectively next to him was a handsome and tall man. It was Edward, the adopted son that Matthew always talked about. Meanwhile, Ophelia and Stanley stood on the other side. It appeared that they weren't here for the banquet but just for formalities.Liesel's eyes darkened.It seemed

Matthew himself couldn't truly go up against Liesel, so he needed support to recover. He also urgently needed help to protect Ophelia, which was why Edward had appeared.Rather than calling him Matthew's adopted son, Liesel saw him as the second Matthew.They were both equally fake and dangerous.The smile slowly faded from Edward's face. "Ms. Sharp, do you want everyone present to know that you have a conflict with Ford Corporation?""So what?" Calmly, Liesel took a sip of her hot milk. Then, she continued slowly, "In the end, Ford Corporation would stand to lose. Ford Corporation and I are now on opposing sides. Why should I care if Ford Corporation loses?"The new Liesel was really stubborn. She did not give Edward an opportunity to take advantage of any weaknesses.As he thought, this would be difficult.Just like Matthew said, her being alive was not advantageous for them at all. However… he wanted to snatch everything from her hands before he made her die a painful death.

"Thank you." Liesel steadied herself. When she looked up again, her eyes were frosty.Looking at Reuben, she said ruthlessly, "This is Howard's banquet. The people in charge of this banquet are your team members, Captain Buckner. You should think about how you're going to explain this to me."Then, she stood next to Xavier. Without thinking about the consequences, she kicked Zack harshly. Zack, who was truly out of it, fell from the impact and rolled to the side. Even though he was wearing a suit, he was short and chubby, so it was a comical sight.He seemed to have realized that it was Liesel who had come. He began to shake, suddenly remembering the words that Liesel had said to him the day he got locked up.She had said that she would make him and his son pay the price. She truly was merciless. If it was just a normal prison, they wouldn't have had a mental breakdown like this.What made them crack was that they were assigned to the same cell as the prison thugs. Those thugs see

Howard continued his vulnerable rant. "Come, help me run through the plot. I want to see what choices you make and what ending you'll get. Damn it." He let out another string of curses."Why in the world do you think that I would be able to clear this kind of game?" Liesel really didn't want to deal with this.Howard crossed his arms while looking Liesel up and down. Then, he harrumphed. "Probably because you're the most desired romantic partner in the entire upper class of Ashthorne, Ms. Sharp."Liesel didn't want to hold that title, but she was in an alliance with Howard. It wasn't like she couldn't play a game for him.Thus, under everyone's gaze, Liesel and Howard began to play a dating simulator at a banquet thrown for the upper class.This should have been their turf where they were the most powerful, yet they were playing a trivial game.Howard's assistant, James Pund, was also dumbfounded. After a long pause, he stammered, "Mr. Durham, what about the Scotts—""Be quiet

"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

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
