Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 50
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

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

The person in charge immediately accepted the card with a beaming smile.Only then did Liesel leave. She was unaware the young man holding the rag had turned around and that he was staring at her in a daze.The man beside him nudged him. "Xavier, what are you looking at?"The man, named Xavier Scott, shook his head. "I just felt that the woman from earlier looked familiar. It’s like I've seen her somewhere before."Hearing this, the man next to him racked his brain to figure it out. "Right, I remember now. Isn't she that senior from our school who almost scored full marks and got into Alden University? Her photo is still on our school's honor wall."Xavier paused. Was that why she looked familiar?At this moment, Elijah, who had been watching from a distance, raised an eyebrow.He thought he had caught Liesel doing something shady, but it turned out she was just helping out her juniors. How boring.Elijah clicked his tongue, walked over to the person in charge, and handed over

After much hesitation, Zack decided the idea was feasible.After all, Xavier was still young, and delaying his higher education for a few years wouldn't matter much. They might even make a fortune from it.After thinking about it for a moment, Zack agreed. "You're bringing this up out of the blue. Do you know someone?""Of course, I do." Sky grinned, scrolling through a list of names on his phone."These are all wealthy families. We'll see who offers the highest price, and we can have Xavier take the exam for them. Maybe just one exam could get us enough money to buy a house."Housing prices in Ashthorne were in the tens of millions of dollars, even in less desirable areas. Could Xavier buy them a house by taking one exam?Greed overwhelmed them and Zack's mind was completely filled with that idea.Why not have him take the exam a few more times since the money was so easy to make? Those wealthy people had money and influence. They certainly wouldn't get caught easily.Zack's f

To Liesel, Natalie was indeed a thief.She was a thief who had stolen her father's love for her, her husband, and her position. Maybe the thief even wanted to steal her identity and network of connections.Was it appropriate to describe Natalie as a thief? It didn't quite fit.Liesel chuckled lightly. "She's more like a robber compared to a thief."She didn't steal but brazenly robbed right before her. After that, she would flaunt it, making sure Liesel knew. How disgusting and shameless."You're right. Robber is a much better fit." Drew couldn't help but laugh and lowered his head to flip through the documents.The information was well-organized and clear, so he understood the key details after a quick glance.He had a sense of clarity but couldn't resist asking, "What exactly is Principal Davis talking about with the boss? It's been over an hour. She came so early in the morning and they're still talking."Principal Davis? "You mean Principal Davis from Ashthrone First High S

Felix nodded at Liesel, who was standing on stage. Just as he was about to speak, his phone began buzzing loudly.Every phone call was crucial during such a critical moment. Felix waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to wait for a moment. He checked his phone and saw that he had received more than ten of the same videos over and over again. On the video thumbnail was a silhouette of Liesel embracing Thomas.Felix's fingers twitched as he looked up at Liesel, who was still waiting for his response. At the same time, all the other executives' phones vibrated. Everyone had received the same videos. The crowd stared in shock at the sight of Liesel and Thomas in those videos. She had cheated on Elijah by hooking up with Thomas. Didn't that imply it was actually possible for her to betray Hardin Group? That was the crucial moment Richard had been waiting for. He couldn't help but give some sarcastic remarks. "How exciting for you, Ms. Sharp. You've used my son to take everything aw

Howard paused, but he wasn't surprised that Richard was trying to cast the blame on Liesel at that moment. Felix also instantly looked up with a fiery gaze. He really didn't understand why they weren't coming up with a solution at that moment. Instead, Richard wanted to continue the internal conflict and fight for some power that outsiders would consider insignificant.Dakota hurriedly placed a hand on Felix's shoulder and hinted for him to calm down. Dakota continued, "Mr. Donner, the same technology with the exact specifications happened to be released before we could even launch it."Things can't be that coincidental. We must get to the bottom of this, but we shouldn't panic and lose our composure either."The turbulent emotions within Felix faded away instantly as he ordered, "As long as the matter isn't clear yet, no one is allowed to make any statements that would negatively impact the company or their colleagues!" The first order of business was to keep everyone's mouths

"No. Ms. Sharp wants to achieve a global market share of 35%.""Wow! That target is insane! If Ms. Sharp succeeds, won't our company be making a fortune? Those two are our most profitable projects!""We can't be sure how much our company will earn since those amounts are way beyond our imagination. We might as well think about how much bonuses we'll receive this year.""I think I can use my bonuses this time to pay a down payment for a house in Ashthorne. I might even be able to get a nice car."Everyone's excited voices drifted across the spacious office. Their eyes lit up with excitement and hope. Austin tossed the files aside before reaching for his phone to send a text. "It's time." After sending the message, he deleted it instantly, and the chat vanished as well.A moment later, an overseas car manufacturer suddenly announced some earth-shattering news, causing a stir across the automotive industry.At the same time, Augustine's family also revealed their cancer treatment
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 607
These new projects were worth hundreds of millions in the market, and Liesel was the reason everyone could enjoy the profits. Before the announcement was even over, rounds of applause echoed across the meeting room several times.The optimized cancer treatment medication was enough to surpass the related treatments that foreign countries had always dominated. The medication had outperformed those of the Bergs' family company, which led to Hardin Group capturing their market share.Everyone in the meeting room beamed at Liesel on stage. Even Richard was amazed by how profitable these projects were.Howard held a remote as he leisurely controlled a colorful drone. Despite being present at such a crucial meeting, he remained carefree and indifferent. However, no one dared to criticize him. He was the only one who could develop the blueprint Liesel had drafted. Hardin Group could only go as far as Howard's strong capabilities.The executives' faces had gone red from excitement, and s

Of course, Thomas heard of Elijah before and became indignant instantly. "I can definitely achieve whatever Elijah has! He always spends his time flirting with women. How could I not be better than him?" Thomas was disdainful. To him, Elijah was a spoiled heir just like himself. "You've not kept up with Elijah for so long." Cameron seemed to have aged a lot in a moment. "He's been pretending all this while. Have a look for yourself."Cameron had ordered someone to organize all information related to Elijah last night so Thomas could have a look once he was awake. Thomas looked through every page. The more he read, the more despondent he grew.Elijah pretended to be useless, but Thomas was truly incompetent. If Thomas had to make a point, the Kellers were far wealthier than the Hardins. In terms of looks, Elijah was known for being attractive. Thomas was even once worried that Liesel might find him too muscular.Thomas' eyes lit up as he read the last part of the files. It deta

"I want rewards as I did last time." Howard really wanted to meet Heather, so he began asking for more rewards this time. "I'll give you the latest codes." Liesel forwarded the codes to Howard's computer with a glint in her eyes. "I've rewarded you, Mr. Durham. Time for you to work. You might have to work overtime tonight since there's plenty to do." Liesel rested her chin on her hand with a lazy smile.Howard already started typing to work on the series of codes. After some time, he fastened his white coat with stiff fingers. "I only need to work overtime for one night? I don't mind working overtime for another ten more nights." Howard simply wanted more codes. He looked at Liesel with a darkened gaze before adding, "As long as you reward me."Liesel couldn't help but laugh. "One night will do. If it's not enough, I'll reward you accordingly."Her words caused Howard's eyes to light up. She then stood up and walked around to the back of the chair before placing her hands on h

"Let me explain things properly. The other person might forgive your deceit or even give you another chance."Even if the other person refused, Cameron would still pay for her to give Thomas another chance. Cameron had everything planned out.Thomas gazed at Cameron for a long time before finally saying, "It's Liesel Sharp.""Liesel Sharp. Ms. Sharp, right? Let me get ready before visiting her... Hold up! Who did you say you're in love with? Did you just say that you like Liesel?"I asked you to work at Hardin Group so she can mentor you. I never thought you'd actually fall for her! Have you lost your mind?"If Thomas had fallen for any other woman, Cameron might have been confident enough to use his own money or other methods to convince her to be with Thomas. But things were tricky if the woman Thomas had fallen for was Liesel.Cameron was wealthy, and so was Liesel. The Kellers were indeed the wealthiest family in Bloomfield and also somewhat influential. However, their influe

"Elijah.""Yes, I'm here," Elijah answered."Elijah," Liesel yelled again. "Yes, I'm listening," Elijah replied again. He stroked her soft, long hair with a warm gaze. "I assume you've thought things through," Liesel said. She assumed that he had considered everything and gave up on the idea of leaving her so someone else would take care of her. Instead, he would always be with her.Elijah understood what Liesel meant. He gazed at her gently before leaning forward to kiss her on the forehead. "Yes, I've thought things through."Elijah would not hold Liesel back. He would propose to her if she could heal him and give her everything. If she fell for someone else during that time, he also would not forbid her from leaving him.Elijah loved Liesel, but she would always have her freedom. He knew very well that he loved her, but he always wanted her to be free forever.He wanted her to stay by his side because she loved him, not because she pitied him. It was the only way he could

Liesel's gaze flickered as she waited for Elijah's response. Struggle was written all over his gaze as he looked past her. He was lost in a daze. Her words seemed to pull him into the future.Elijah watched Liesel slowly drifting away from him. He could only sit in his wheelchair as if he were a spectator and watch her run toward another man's arms from a distance.He saw how affectionate she was with the other man, doing things only lovers would do. The way she cast a charming smile at the other man…No. Absolutely not.Elijah was still unable to let Liesel go so easily. She was his lover, so he refused to let her leave. He drew her into his embrace with one arm and held her tightly. "Lili, I was wrong." The hoarseness in his voice was quite evident. "I can't accept the idea of you leaving me. I don't even want to imagine it. Please don't be with Thomas." To Liesel, the current Elijah seemed extremely fragile. A slight push could cause him to break down. She could feel his swe
