"You haven't eaten yet?" Liesel raised an eyebrow. Her voice was cool.Seeing her indifferent expression, Elijah felt his throat tighten. His emotions swirled. He had been drenched in soup, and the others had rushed to check on him, but Liesel had just watched without a word. Even after he invited her to meet him, she hadn't shown up.A cold feeling crept over him.The temperature in the office felt as though it had dropped to freezing point. The windows were closed, but a subtle draft still managed to sneak in, despite it being summer.Sean stood at the door, glancing nervously inside while holding some documents. Elijah only gave him an expressionless glance, and Sean fled without a word. His face was pale.But Liesel didn't leave. She stood up and walked toward the door.Elijah assumed she was about to leave. He gripped his tie tightly. His knuckles turned white with tension.Nearby, a coat rack stood with a brand-new suit hanging on it. Liesel walked over and lightly adjus

Bankrupt? The Keller family had gone bankrupt?When Thomas was out there spreading rumors, did he ever think to check with his father? How could the wealthiest family in the neighboring city simply declare bankruptcy? Who had the power to make such a claim?"Let me give you a hint: the Keller family."Liesel paused for a moment. This hint wasn't even subtle.Liesel knew exactly who the Keller family in Ashthorne was. It couldn't be the one in Ashthorne, so then…She thought for a moment, meeting Elijah's eyes. "The Keller family from the neighboring city? The wealthiest family there?"Without needing Elijah to elaborate, Liesel already figured it out. The two shared an unspoken understanding."Yes, Thomas is the heir of the Keller family from the neighboring city, destined to inherit the family business. His real name is Ignatius Keller, but he was once called 'CrabbyCrab' because of his hot temper, which became a running joke."His name was given by a fortune-teller who claime

And Thomas? Though he had a reputation for being reckless, Thomas had been raised with strong moral values by Cameron. His upbringing instilled a sense of respect for others, especially women.His rebellious streak was more about seeking thrills—racing cars, making music, and indulging in extreme sports. In brief, Thomas was still just a boy.Liesel would be his first love, and he would offer his pure, passionate, and sincere devotion to her.Elijah couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness. He knew he couldn't compare to Thomas at all. He didn't have the stable, happy family that Thomas had, and now, he didn't even have his health. Meanwhile, Liesel remained as radiant as ever. Elijah knew he wasn't worthy of someone like her.If it were Jacob, Elijah would have fought to keep her and done whatever it took to have her by his side. But with Thomas… Elijah almost felt like he should step aside and let him have her.It was laughable, really.When Elijah had pursued Liesel, he h

"Are you trying to say that promises now can only prove love at this moment but not for the rest of my life? In that case, why don't we let time tell? "A year is just 365 days, and a decade is just 3650 days. It will pass in a blink of an eye. I can stay by your side for one, two, and up to every decade of the rest of my life. Time will tell the choice that I made and whom I chose to love."Can you understand this, Elijah?"Liesel asked Elijah if he could understand this, if he could understand that she cared about him and loved him.He did understand, but he just couldn't bear to waste her time.Elijah's lips parted. Looking at Liesel, a lump formed in his throat. Just as he was about to say something, she patted his face gently, leaning closer to capture his lips.Her probing tongue seemed to be intentionally trying to seduce him, making him forget everything that he wanted to say. All he could taste was her sweetness.He thought that since Liesel had already told him so, the

Liesel fixed her gaze on Elijah."You know it's true. You're the only one I see and the only one I think about," he said hoarsely.He cupped her jaw and captured her pink lips.Time melted away as their tongues danced with each other.Previously, it had felt like piercing winds blowing as a storm loomed. Now, it felt like they were greeted by a gentle spring breeze.The food delivery soon arrived. Liesel had ordered Elijah's favorite dishes from the private kitchen at Heritage Hotel.Liesel tore open the package and handed him some cutlery.Elijah took the cutlery. He was unable to suppress the smile blooming on his lips.However, when he opened the last container, his smile froze. "Why is there mushroom soup?""I ordered it for myself. You have the food. I'll just have some soup and keep you company. Isn't it lonely to eat alone?" Liesel picked up the container and stirred the soup with her spoon.Amusement shone in his eyes. He pulled her close and kissed her deeply again.

As expected, someone that Charles had chosen wouldn't be that simple.Liesel slowly drank her soup. Gloomy feelings surged in the depths of her eyes.After ten minutes, Elijah put down the proposal. "It's not bad," he said.Liesel wiped her hands with a tissue. "Let me see. You should be eating."Elijah picked up his cutlery. "I'll bring the proposal to the board meeting. If everyone approves, then we should have a meeting to discuss it."Glancing at Ethan, he ordered, "Have Austin polish up the proposal and prepare a presentation. Tell him that he will be hosting the meeting next week."He gave out instructions out of habit. Only after he finished speaking did he remember that Liesel was the current CEO of Hardin Group.He paused."Lili, do you think this is fine?"Liesel lowered her gaze and said nothing.This was a rare opportunity. For an average employee, Austin's performance was extraordinary. If he really had what it took, then Elijah would definitely give him a chance

Howard looked very restrained today. He looked like the perfect example of a refined degenerate.No one would have been able to guess that this was the person who had refined that tacky drone.Liesel walked into his office with both hands in her pockets."What's the matter, Ms. Sharp?" Howard put on his glasses. He looked down at his laptop screen, and his side profile appeared serious and focused. "To help you achieve your KPI, I've been working overtime round the clock.""Thanks for your hard work," Liesel said with a rare gentleness in her voice."Hmph! I'm glad you're aware of it."Liesel nearly burst out laughing.So Howard also had a soft side beneath his aloof exterior."Tell me, why did you come here? You never come here without a reason," Howard said a little grumpily while glancing up at Liesel.Liesel bowed her head to stifle her amusement. "Is the research and development into your smart system complete yet?""It's already in the safety performance testing phase."
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 580
Howard's tacky drone was still following Liesel, but she didn't stop in her tracks. With the presentation that she'd just prepared, she paid a visit to several renowned investors in Ashthorne. She didn't meet many people; she simply set up a meeting with a few people that Elijah knew very well at Heritage Hotel.She had invited Tobey, the Walker brothers, as well as Neal and Jordan.Despite the blunder that happened in the past, everyone remained cordial.Liesel didn't just set up this gathering to raise funds, but she also wanted to give Elijah a chance to get out and about. It would be good for him to see some friends.Chelsea couldn't make it. Top Trainee was about to wrap up, so she couldn't miss any training.Tobey always had an opinion when it came to Liesel. However, when he saw this investment proposal, he merely cocked an eyebrow but didn't say anything."Is this proposal real?" Jimmy was the first to speak. "If it is, then I will definitely invest."Jasper smiled but 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
