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

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

"Why are you here? Do you need something?" Jacob's gaze was cold.When he looked at Liesel, images of her standing alongside Elijah and those scattered pieces of fabric flashed through his mind.His heart sank a little, and his dark eyes deepened.Liesel's eyes fell on his face, but she didn't mention anything about last night. "Just now, I ran into Principal Davis outside. She's here to invite you to attend the motivational event at First High School. Did you accept?"Jacob looked at her. "I declined Alden University's invitation for a lecture last month."His words were more of a rhetorical question to Liesel. He had already declined Alden University's invitation, so why would she think he would agree to a high school's motivational event? It seemed even more absurd."Just because you rejected Alden University's invitation doesn't mean you have to reject First High School." Liesel pushed the thick stack of documents toward him. "Here's the information you need. In return, I w

Liesel halted in her tracks when she heard Jacob's words.She turned around and stared at Jacob for a long time before slowly nodding in agreement."Since you said so, I'll go." After saying this, Liesel didn't linger any longer.She was truly afraid that her heart would break into pieces if she stayed longer.Jacob didn't understand her, nor did he know anything. It was as if he had never known her. He was completely unaware of her pain.Jeffrey's birthday was also her mother's death anniversary. Asking her to attend Jeffrey's birthday party was like stabbing her heart with a knife.Yet, she would still attend Jeffrey's birthday party.…The Sharp residence was located in a bustling area of Ashthorne.Standing on the edge of the vibrant city, this building exuded luxury and elegance in every brick and tile. It was designed and built by a famous architect Jeffrey hired to showcase his wealth.Anyone unfamiliar with the Sharp family's background might have assumed they were pa

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

"If you're ever unhappy, you can come find me anytime. I'll always be here for you."This was Edward's promise.These were the moments when Ophelia had seen Edward smoking. Each time, it seemed to have something to do with her.She recalled the past. The way Edward always looked at her became even clearer in her mind. Back then, she might not have understood the struggle and yearning in his eyes.But now, she thought she understood.Her mind was filled with too many thoughts, and their embrace had lasted far too long.She wanted to push him away, but at that moment, he suddenly whispered in her ear, "Your first kiss wasn't him. It was me."What?Ophelia was stunned. She even thought that she'd heard wrong.When had she ever kissed Edward? How come she never knew about it?She pushed him away. Her doe eyes widened."You're lying. E-except just now, we've never kissed before!""The night before I left the country, you held onto my shirt and refused to let me leave. After you

Ophelia still remembered the melancholy and confusion that she'd seen in Edward's eyes. He had looked like a young boy who couldn't find his way home.The moment Edward saw her, he stubbed out his cigarette. Holding her hand, he led the bleary-eyed Ophelia back to the bedroom.Worried that she'd catch a cold from the freezing winds, he made her a cup of hot chamomile tea. She didn't like the taste, so he had to try his hardest to coax her into drinking it.Upset, she said to him accusingly, "Edward, I feel I'm turning into a chamomile plant."Edward laughed.He was handsome. Even when he laughed, he looked attractive. Amusement bloomed on his charming and elegant face.She complimented him dazedly, "Edward, you're really good-looking."Even though she was still mad that she'd been coaxed into drinking a whole mug of chamomile tea, she still found herself lost in his handsomeness. Edward's eyes were curved from his broad grin, and he reached out to rub her head."You're very goo

"So it is because of Stanley.""Well, I'm much older than you. Stanley is young so there wouldn't be a generation gap between you two. You must like someone younger."That's not all. Stanley has excellent grades. I naturally understand that you'd choose him. After all, he's the first guy you've ever called your boyfriend."You don't have to say anything; I understand. I'm not up to standard. Stanley will definitely achieve greater things than me in the future, so I shouldn't keep clinging to you…" I must have put you in a difficult position. If I had known that you had picked Stanley, I wouldn't have come back and disturbed you. I've disturbed the peace in your life."Every single word Edward said felt like a stab in Ophelia's heart.Was he crazy? Why was he talking about Stanley in every sentence?Ophelia tried her hardest to bite her tongue, but in the end, she failed to hold her anger in."You keep talking about Stanley, but didn't I already tell you that we've broken up?

Ophelia snatched the junk food box in a huff to fill the gift boxes with snacks."You! Stop causing trouble!""Okay, okay! I'll stop messing around." With that, Joseph muttered, "It was just a few sweets…"Ophelia glared at him. Joseph immediately cleared his throat and no longer uttered a word. Instead of teasing her, he also began helping her pack the boxes. Not trusting him, Ophelia intentionally inspected each box. She only felt assured to hand him the boxes once she was certain none of the chocolates or snacks were missing.Not long after Joseph started packing, he began looking around absentmindedly. He looked down and noticed many private messages on Ophelia's phone. Those still part of Yvonne's fandom had sent those messages. They were scolding Ophelia.Ophelia merely glanced at the messages before nonchalantly turning off the phone screen. Not only were she and Joseph done wrapping the boxes, but Edward had finished preparing breakfast as well. Edward prepared all of

"Oh!" Joseph exclaimed. He whirled around and took a step back before patting Edward's palm. "Shouldn't you give me something in return for my advice? A present or something, right?"Edward came off as rather domineering as he asked icily, "Tell me which car you want. What model and series? When do you want it?"Yes, Edward had brought up cars. Joseph's eyes lit up. "I want the latest SUV from Land Rover within the next three days."It wasn't as if Joseph couldn't afford the car. He simply liked messing with his friends. After all, free things were the best. "Sure." Joseph continued flatteringly, "Bro, this is how it works. Women are usually more soft-hearted, especially someone like Ophelia at her age. You should give in sometimes."Be shameless if she ever tries to drive you away. Hug her and act pitiful by saying that you don't want to leave her. Say that you can't sleep or will have nightmares if you don't see her. You can even be more dramatic."Joseph was quick-witted enou

Ophelia was left dumbfounded after hearing Joseph's advice. What nonsense was he talking about? He was supposed to be on her side, not sabotage her. Edward shoved Ophelia out of the kitchen. "Something's wrong with his brain, so just ignore him. Go and rest."Ophelia was still perplexed as Edward pushed her out of the kitchen. However, she didn't probe further since she refused to speak to him for now. Once Ophelia was gone, Joseph immediately cursed. "You're such a beast. 28cm, 28cm. Why don't you cut off that thing of yours? Did you think your sweetheart is someone who appears in those adult films?" Edward's eyes twitched. He finally understood what Joseph had been blabbering about. Joseph was such a pervert through and through. Edward slammed the knife onto the chopping board. "I'm talking about my age. What's gotten into you?""Oh, it's your age." Joseph sighed in relief. He had been worried about how Draskia could have such a pervert like Edward.After a while, Joseph e
