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
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 581
Right now, many people were guessing that there must be some conflict between Liesel and Elijah. They suspected that Elijah hadn't given Liesel his assets and shares voluntarily, that Liesel had forced him into it.If he had really been forced, then Austin would have given him an opportunity to go against Liesel.Unfortunately, Austin was wrong.Elijah had readily gifted everything to Liesel. He was willing to take a back seat for Liesel to shine. Therefore, Austin's attempt to drive them apart had ended up becoming a joke.Since he liked stirring trouble and skipping levels in the chain of command, then Liesel wanted him to face the music."So is this proposal real? If it is, then I'll invest." When Jimmy saw the proposal, he was ready to throw his money at it.Liesel smiled slightly. "With Hardin Group and Shifter Corporation as a guarantee, I promise that this proposal is real.""Then I'll invest," Jimmy said. No one wouldn't go for such a promising vision. The people here we

"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
