With a pale face, Thomas planted his hand on the back of his chair and stood. With shaking knees, he forced himself to calm down before giving Liesel a deep bow. "Please give me a chance. I will work very hard!" he said lamely.Aaron and the other two interviewers reveled in his sorry state.Liesel walked around the desk and extended a hand to give him a handshake. Thomas immediately gripped her hand. He was stunned when he felt the softness of his palm."You're still young; there are plenty of opportunities out there. The research department has very high requirements, so your chances of getting hired are not high. I'd suggest you give the design department a shot. This is my name card. Take it and talk to the manager. He can find you a suitable position."After a few comforting words, she pressed a name card into his hand.Thomas' heart was bleeding. At the same time, he was lost in Liesel's gentle words of consolation and unable to escape from his infatuation. This mix of pai

What Thomas didn't see was Ethan—dressed in a black suit—pushing a wheelchair into Hardin Group. Upon catching sight of Thomas, Elijah lowered his gaze and said, "He looks familiar."Ethan immediately replied, "That's Thomas Keller, the son of Cameron Keller. It seems like Mr. Keller has his eye on Ms. Sharp and wants her to take his son under his wing."Cameron's son—that well-known rebel.Elijah remembered hearing that this person had a similar reputation to his. While he was known as Ashthorne's thug, Thomas was known as the thug of the neighboring city."Lili doesn't have time for that. Have someone turn down Mr. Keller's request."Ethan hesitated. "Mr. Keller offered an extra five percent on the new contract."How generous.Elijah's gaze darkened. "Do I need the money? Have someone turn him down.""Understood, Mr. Hardin."…After Thomas left, Aaron and the other interviewers went to the bathroom. Liesel stayed in the conference room. She was flipping through the remaini

Xavier looked like he was wondering why he was caught in their flirting. Liesel couldn't help but laugh. Elijah reached out to hold her hand. He massaged it gently. "Be good."As expected, she stopped playing around and smiled at him."Take Xavier to the research department to have a look. I saved him a room to learn and study in. It's right next to Howard's break room," Liesel said, chuckling. "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Of course, you can also bother Howard anytime."Naturally, she was in full support of Xavier bothering Howard.Xavier also caught the other meaning of Liesel's words, but he said nothing. Actually, she didn't have to say it. She was busy with Hardin Group's operations, and sometimes, she had to get involved in some of the projects and research, so she didn't have much free time. Only Howard was lazy and had free time on his hands."I get it."The employees in the research department were already a little demoralized because of
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 527
Liesel could feel Howard's attacks getting weaker. She quickly wrote another program, and in the next second, the door to Howard's break room opened.How come Howard had let her break through his firewall so quickly?No matter how she looked at it, he wasn't that understanding of a person.Cocking an eyebrow, she saw that Xavier had shut down Howard's computer.Exactly. The room that Liesel had arranged for Xavier was right next door to Howard's, so he'd just entered through the window.Howard was sitting on the couch with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, looking rough around the edges. He didn't seem anxious nor mad. He simply spat the unlit cigarette into the trash can at the side."So, why did you go through all that trouble to look for me?" he asked while rubbing his eyes. He did look rather tired, with dark circles lurking beneath his eyes."Xavier is planning to join the research department. Take him under your wing.""Oh, has he thought it through?" Howard's eyes lit

"You must be Elijah," Howard said leisurely.Before Elijah could say anything, Liesel's expression turned chilly. Looking down, she said coolly, "He is my fiance. He's the one I'm going to be spending the rest of my life with.""I didn't say anything." Howard shrugged lazily."You'd better not say anything in the future." Liesel regarded Howard. "He is the person I chose. No one can make any decisions for me. He's the only one that I'll love."Who was she implying?It was Heather.Howard caught onto that. His gaze darkened slightly, but he still kept up his uncaring facade. "That's your business. It has nothing to do with me.""Liesel, it's my fault," Xavier couldn't help but say. His voice was slightly hoarse.Actually, he still hadn't moved on from the nightmarish car accident the other day.To Xavier, there was nothing wrong with Elijah. The latter loved Liesel enough to give her everything. As a man himself, he knew that Liesel was all Elijah cared about and that he would

"People always say that family doesn't mean much when you're gravely ill. And that's not all. They're not even related by blood. They're just lovers.""If it were me… those assets might keep me happy for a while, but I don't think I could really accept taking care of him for the rest of my life."The researchers murmured amongst themselves. They thought that they were being quiet. However, Liesel and Elijah could actually hear every single word.Elijah's face remained calm, but his hand slowly tightened on the armrests.Liesel's grip also tightened.She couldn't bear to listen to this.She turned around, and her gaze was razor-sharp. "All of you, hand in your resignation letters to the HR department. Hardin Group will compensate you accordingly."Hardin Group didn't need these people.The employees exchanged glances. The leader of the group flushed. "Ms. Sharp, we—we didn't do anything wrong though…"They would be crazy to take a few months' worth of severance pay and leave Ha

When it came to writing reports, data analysis, and sorting documents, Austin completed all of it on his own. He was quick and delivered good work. Even with a workload that other employees couldn't even finish working overtime, he was always able to submit on time.As if to build relationships, he would always work overtime every day and help others with work.After half a month, he'd already blended in with everyone else. Everyone greeted him with a warm smile when they saw him, and they never ran out of praise for him.This made Liesel think back to her school days when she had been equally as stupid.In high school, she had done the same thing. She would always help people with the work that they couldn't finish, thinking that it was the best way to grow closer to others and become one of them.However, she was wrong.No matter how much labor an old ox did, it would never integrate into human society.Also, at the time, she had gone to a high school for the wealthy, while

It was hard to describe Liesel's radiant beauty, making it hard for anyone to resist her. Men and women alike stole a few more glances whenever they walked past her. Thomas Keller abruptly came to his senses and asked his companion to push the cart. "You can take this."His companion noticed Thomas' flushed face and understood instantly. He began teasing Thomas. "What? Not brave enough to walk past her? If you won't do it, I will."Thomas patted his sweaty palms against his blue uniform before adjusting the brim of his cap. He fixed his gaze in Liesel's direction.He stood rooted to the same spot and dared not to move. He was afraid that he might startle Liesel, who wasn't far away.Thomas' two companions teased him a while longer before wheeling the large boxes away. Initially, the two men were having a jolly time together, chatting and laughing. Yet they lowered their heads and stopped talking. They walked past Liesel in silence. Liesel took a few steps back. She stared at a

"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
