Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 47
The red wine in the glass was no longer chilled and instead turned to room temperature.As Jacob downed the burgundy, images of Liesel's resolute departure flashed through his mind, and his thin lips pursed ever-so-slightly."Is Natalie really like that? In my memories, she's harmless and innocent while Jeffrey is the douche," he pondered.He stood up, and before he left the room, his gaze landed on the destroyed dress. Picking up the gown that Liesel had left behind, he brushed the smooth edge created by the scissors before his eyes turned gloomy.As much as he knew that Jeffrey was the perpetrator, he couldn't possibly do anything to him. He wanted to keep Natalie's family safe.Perhaps this time he would embrace the label of selfishness and offer Liesel compensation that would meet her approval.…When Liesel returned to the venue, the atmosphere grew tense. Small groups were huddled together and whispering to one another.Meanwhile, in the center of the venue were a few men
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 48
Having been stared at by Liesel's stunning yet chilling eyes, the few bound men were captivated by her and left momentarily entranced. Her gaze drew them in, and they found her charms irresistible.Moments later, a series of muffled pleas emerged from behind the cloth in their mouths, as if they were trying to raise the white flag and ask to be let go.Liesel remained cold as she scanned the men and concluded, "Call the cops."She inherently took the most drastic approach since they were bold enough to stir the pot. Who would've done such a revolting and misogynistic move?A tactic like that was all too familiar to Liesel, whose mother suffered a ruined reputation thanks to her ex-husband, Jeffrey.Of course, Liesel would never be a doormat for anyone, especially him. If he had the guts to break the law, she similarly had no issue exposing the truth.Once her instruction pierced the air, everyone looked at her in surprise. The bound men widened their eyes in shock as they stared

Liesel's sharp and eloquent words brutally refuted the few men. Her bravery to stand up for herself surprised everyone at the scene.Once the men were captured, she gazed calmly in a certain direction. When she saw Jeffrey and Natalie's contorted expressions, a smile broke out on her face, almost as if she was flaunting it.Natalie's expression darkened. After a night of plotting, she had not only failed to humiliate Liesel but had inadvertently showcased her powerful connections and remarkable composure to everyone at the dinner party.One wrong move and Liesel was able to turn the tide around with her luck.Natalie left in fury while Jeffrey followed closely behind her.The ribbon-cutting ceremony for Ford Corporation's resort was filled with unexpected twists and turns. It had captured the attention of many and brought even more focus to Liesel, the mastermind behind the resort's planning.By the time Jacob returned to the venue, the cops had already taken the men. Although th

Liesel looked up to Elijah who had suddenly appeared and changed the topic. "What do you want from following me?"His smile grew wider. "Didn't you get the memo? That I'm pursuing you?""Does your pursuit involve watching your crush get cornered while you just stand by, doing nothing but enjoying the show?" Her gaze dimmed.It wasn't that she actually blamed Elijah for it. In fact, there was barely any bond between them. Elijah's pursuit felt more like a game of cat and mouse."You're funny." He inched closer to Liesel with a mischievous smile like she was his prey. "I'm only pursuing you. That doesn't mean you're my crush, right?"Just because he pursued her didn't mean she was necessarily a romantic interest. His fleeting pursuit was sparked by her stunning looks, but he never truly saw her as someone he cared for."Are you sure you want to be this honest while pursuing me?" Liesel took a step back and created some distance between them. "You should know that I have plenty of a

Elijah asked, "Are you crazy?"Liesel was about to pick it up when the man grabbed her by the wrist."Don't pick it up. If you really want to start a new life, you must get over everything from the past."Getting over everything from the past sounded simple, but could it really be done so easily?Liesel's gaze fell on the tattered and ragged red dress. Her round eyes gleamed slightly.She didn't speak; she only walked to the window and looked outside from this vantage point.This resort was a place where she had painstakingly planned and completed. It was where her first dream began to take shape, where she signed her first contract with the Ford Corporation and earned their respect.Now, was she going to get over her past with Jacob here? Yet, she couldn't help but feel reluctant to part with him.It was three years… No, not three years but long before that. There had always been someone in her heart, someone she couldn't restrain herself from thinking about.Getting over it
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 52
A rare trace of pity rose in Elijah's heart and he said, "You're just a joke."He was a joke, and so was Liesel."Jacob has to know what I know."The mischievous look in his eyes darkened, but his voice was calm, unusually serious compared to his usual carefree demeanor. "He knows you're the victim, but he still chooses to protect the perpetrator and even accepts everything about them. Liesel, what are you still holding on to?"What was she still holding on to?Liesel's fingers turned pale as she gripped the window frame tightly while biting her lower lip. "I just can't accept it."Of course, Elijah understood why she couldn't accept it.She couldn't accept losing to someone as despicable as Natalie, and couldn't accept the fact that the man she loved so deeply was so blind.As Liesel watched the three people outside, the bitterness in her heart almost made her cry out loud.Perhaps sensing her discomfort, a sharp and keen gaze suddenly swept over.Liesel froze for a moment
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 53
Natalie and Jeffrey were genuinely worried that Jacob might hold them accountable for what happened tonight. Although they were indeed involved, they still wanted to distance themselves from it.From a distance, they saw Jacob leaving the banquet and heading to his car. Hence, Natalie quickly ran up to him with Jeffrey following closely behind.They were panting heavily. Cold sweat broke out on their faces, and they looked anxious and innocent."Didn't you two leave just now?" Jacob stood still as he gazed at the father and daughter who had suddenly appeared.Yet, all he could think about was the image of Liesel's radiant and striking face accusing him of injustice. She had accused him of protecting Natalie and Jeffrey.The coldness was evident in his deep eyes when he looked at the two of them. "What do you two want?"Jacob's voice was cold, and his attitude toward them at that moment was as if they were strangers.Natalie felt anxious but still stepped forward. She clung to

"Oh my, what's wrong with Liesel? Why did she suddenly throw those things out? That's so weird, I don't know why she even did that."Of course, Natalie saw Liesel. At that moment, her heart leaped into her throat. She was afraid that she might do something unexpected.To her surprise, Liesel simply tossed out a few pieces of torn red fabric.She thought Liesel must have lost her mind. However, she could only make a veiled comment, suggesting that Liesel was going mad while fearing a hidden meaning might be behind her action."She's saying goodbye." Jacob pursed his lips and picked up a piece of red fabric from the ground casually as if he could still feel the warmth of her skin.He knew everything Liesel had done tonight was her way of saying goodbye to their past. Yet, her actions felt more like a provocation to him.Jacob's gaze deepened, but Natalie had no idea what was going on.She tried to steer the conversation back, but she heard the man's indifferent voice just as she w

"You know how it is. It's always hard to strike a deal between two smart people."Charles laughed.He knew that when Liesel suggested a partnership with Ford Corporation to manufacture anti-cancer drugs, it was actually a huge trap.Liesel and Howard were both researchers. Who could say for sure that after they gave Ford Corporation the drug formula, they wouldn't refine the drug further and make something even more effective?Considering Liesel's and Howard's intelligence, there would undoubtedly be a more potent version of the drug. However, Liesel would never choose to continue working together with Ford Corporation. Therefore, he had decided to ask for a mile. He had asked to collaborate on the artificial intelligence project.It wasn't that he was being greedy.It was because Ford Corporation wasn't the same as it had been a year ago. He had to tread very carefully to avoid falling for someone's scheme again.Without Liesel and Drew, there were many tasks that only he and

"Do you not want to hug?" Liesel cocked her head at him. "Don't think I don't know you. I bet you already wanted to kiss me and hold me the moment you spotted Jacob. Otherwise, you wouldn't have tightened your arms around me."Hadn't Elijah done that to send Jacob a message that Liesel belonged to him?Having been together for so long, there wasn't anything that she didn't understand about him."In that case, thank you for giving me a chance and playing along." Since he couldn't think of an excuse, he just came clean. There was even a look of amusement on his face.He pulled her into his arms affectionately. She also hugged him back, like she was a child staking her territory."Should we add some more spice and kiss?"This was really becoming more and more provocative.Why not?A smile appeared on Elijah's face, as if he was saying to her, "Bring it on."And she did. She peppered Elijah's face with continuous pecks. Then, she yanked on his collar, like she was claiming him as

From a short distance away, Jacob could see Elijah's arm curled around Liesel's tiny waist. She seemed very dependent on him as she lay in his arms listlessly. It was a stark contrast to the way she behaved in public with other people.Whether it was with reporters or business partners, she always seemed like a steady pillar of strength. She was graceful and calm, but there was a hidden sharpness within her.Anyone who interacted with her could feel the hidden threat that was lurking inside of her.Yet, the Liesel now seemed to have shed all the sharp spikes on her body, revealing only the soft insides. She appeared gentle and submissive… Or rather, she only showed this side of her to her lover.He should have been the one to get all of this.He should have been her lover.He was the one who'd thrown all of this away. All he could do was watch as Elijah purposely pissed him off.He was a man too. Of course, he knew that Elijah was doing it on purpose.Of course, he resented Eli

Elijah seized Liesel's wrists while chuckling coldly. "So what if you're someone's wife? If I wanted you, all I'd have to do is tell him. Then, he'd definitely have someone clean you up nicely and send you straight into my bed."He lifted her chin with his finger. "Do you think that your husband is a decent man? Do you think that he'd disobey me for you?"Liesel swallowed. She was enraptured by the look in Elijah's eyes right now.He nibbled on her ear while patting her panicked and pale face. "If you're obedient, I'll treat you well. If you're unwilling to play along and make me happy, I'll kill your husband and lock you up in my home. You'll never see the light of day again."Stripping off her clothes, Liesel bit his earlobe and whispered, "It's such a waste that you didn't go into the acting industry with Chelsea."Elijah chuckled quietly, letting her hands roam all over him. They left a trail of fire in their wake. When he was all riled up and ready to go, Liesel suddenly hugg

Liesel left.Charles gazed at the still-warm cup of tea on the table. There was a chilling look in his eyes.This was one of the times he'd made the wrong move.After walking out of Charles' office, Liesel wasn't surprised to see Jacob. However, she didn't even stop and simply walked out.He trailed after her leisurely until she was nearly out of Ford Corporation. Just as he was about to call out to her, he heard a cheerful, gentle voice calling her name."Lili, I'm here to pick you up." Jacob's eyes darkened. When he looked up, he saw Elijah sitting in a wheelchair and smiling at Liesel.Liesel didn't mind at all that he was a cripple. With a grin on her face, she crouched down next to him. Then, she grabbed his hand and placed it against her cheek.Jacob's chest clenched when he saw that. It felt like arrows piercing his heart.Liesel could still feel Jacob's eyes on her, but she didn't care. She even pecked Elijah lightly on the lips in front of Jacob. Then, while pushing

"Charles, even though we worked together for three years, you still don't understand me at all."Liesel tapped her fingers against the desk. While it was quiet, it also sounded indescribably threatening."Have you not seen what happened to Dash?"If someone tries to snatch something from me, not only will I make their wishes come true, but I'll also make them pay the price."You can only take what I give you. If you insist on snatching what I'm unwilling to give… then you will find out the price you'll have to pay."She grinned, but it carried an obvious iciness.Dash was indeed the best example.He had tried to snatch collaboration opportunities from her, so she squashed him. And that wasn't all. She also bought his land and assets from him for dirt cheap.Dash tried to steal her data and establish his own vehicle manufacturing plant in Draskia, so she simply chased him and all his businesses out of Draskia.Anyone who tried to plot against her and steal from her suffered hor

"If you have something that even Jacob doesn't, you must be very loyal to him.""Thanks for the compliment." Charles chuckled quietly. "Of course, I am loyal to Mr. Ford. It's because I'm loyal to Mr. Ford that I kept the evidence just in case."If Matthew decided to betray Mr. Ford one day, then I could use this to retaliate against him. After all, you also know that Matthew is far from a nice person."Jacob placed a lot of importance on Matthew because his parents had passed away early, so he'd been raised by Matthew and Vincent since he was younger. He ended up viewing Matthew as somewhat of a father figure. His love for his family had ended up blinding him, making him unwilling to bring harm to Matthew.However, Charles was different. He didn't have any significant feelings toward Matthew. He only cared about protecting Jacob's interests.Matthew was a selfish person who only cared about his own interests. This was why Charles had gone against Jacob's orders and kept the evi

If it had been Elijah who'd done this, what would Liesel have done?Could she still be so righteous?However, Jacob's words only made her stifle a laugh. Without even turning around, she said sardonically, "If Elijah was this kind of person, then I would never have gotten together with him."Whether it comes to family or lovers, first of all, they should have the right principles. They should know what they should or shouldn't do."Even a child can tell what's right from wrong, but an adult like Matthew doesn't know where to draw the line. Jacob, one day he will pay the price for everything that he's done."In the end, Jacob didn't stop her from leaving.He couldn't help but clench his fists. His eyes darkened.Liesel had always been strongly opposed to evil. Making things worse, Drew was the scapegoat for Matthew's misdeeds this time.Over the years, Jacob had already gotten Matthew out of trouble countless times. He was getting tired of it.He really wanted to call out to Li

Natalie wanted to destroy Ford Corporation as soon as possible.Once there was a new leader in Ford Corporation, would Jacob still be so arrogant?Natalie laughed coldly. Then, she remembered the words she heard in the hospital, and her expression frosted over.She thought that since she was already in the same boat as Edward, and that Edward might become the future leader of Ford Corporation, she could go for him instead.After all, Edward was tall and handsome. In her eyes, he wasn't inferior to Jacob at all.However, she never thought… that Edward already had a lover, and that it was his sister, Ophelia, of all people.Till today, she still remembered how that bitch, Ophelia, had once insulted her because of her background. To defend Liesel, Ophelia had mocked her for being a bastard child.How come Ophelia deserved to be with Edward? They were siblings! Even if they weren't related by blood, they had still grown up as brother and sister. Weren't they afraid of getting expose
