"As far as I know, the son of the wealthiest man of the neighboring city, Thomas Keller, is in Ashthorne and even working for Hardin Group. My people tell me that he has been watching Liesel. Elijah, don't you feel threatened?" Tobey asked, going straight to the point.Feel threatened?Of course, Elijah did.However, he just thought that it was true that he didn't deserve Liesel."You're overthinking." Elijah's eyes turned gloomy, and he didn't seem to want to continue the conversation.Seeing him like this made Tobey scoff in anger. "Fine, do whatever you want. I can't control you."He left in a huff.Elijah didn't move. He remained on the balcony, gazing at the tall buildings and twinkling lights.Tobey left the private room. From afar, he spotted Liesel leaning against a wall while talking leisurely on the phone. She seemed to be handling a work matter.He stalked over and snatched the phone out of her hands. Liesel was stunned for a moment. Nonetheless, when she saw Tobey,

"You say that you're Elijah's best friend. Well then, tell me what I should do in this situation. What do I need to do to help Elijah go back to his free-spirited and untamed self?"Do you want me to spend every day by his side, telling him that I love him? Is that enough? Would he believe me if I just repeated those words?"Rather than repeating myself, why not fix his legs and help him stand again? Only by helping him stand on his two feet again would he naturally return to the Elijah that we all know so well instead of the Elijah who's nearly depressed and down in the dumps!"It's because he loves me that he thinks that he doesn't deserve me with his legs broken. He wants to give me the best things in the world, and that includes the best lover. He's only like this because he doesn't think he's good enough."And because I love him, I will help him stand up again, no matter what it takes. Only when he stands up again will he fight for things again and have my back again."Liesel

"Lili has always been the best." Elijah's affectionate laugh sounded over the phone. After a moment, his voice turned cold again. "Who said you could talk to Liesel like that? You were practically interrogating her like she was a criminal. Are you out of your mind, Tobey? So what if Lili loves power and status? Do you care about those things?"After having a moment of clarity, Elijah began shooting arrows at Tobey, forgetting that that was his best friend he was talking to.Tobey was at a loss for words.Fine, his concern was not needed. Elijah can go and cuddle up to his lover!With a cold expression, Tobey hung up. He rubbed his face and wondered if he indeed was out of his mind. He shouldn't have been concerned about those two. They were a match made in heaven who were deeply in love; no one could separate them.Tobey let out a scoff and then sighed internally.He hoped that Liesel was really capable of helping Elijah stand again…Liesel settled the contract with Tobey and

"Ms. Sharp, you must foster such a capable employee," one of the senior executives who didn't get along with Liesel said, garnering everyone's agreement.How did Liesel feel, knowing that she'd been surpassed by someone younger than her?Was the position that she'd gotten because of her good looks secure? Did she feel threatened having met someone with true capabilities? Would she be able to sleep soundly at night in the upcoming days?Richard clapped slowly with mockery written all over his face.Up until now, he thought that Liesel had only reached this level because of her looks.Austin quickly thanked Liesel for giving him this chance.However, his gratitude felt more like a jab at Liesel.He clearly hadn't gone through Liesel, Howard, or anyone in the research department before submitting the document to Elijah. No matter whether it was intentional or not, he was already opposing Liesel and putting her in an awkward position.What kind of leader would allow their reports t
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 586
Austin stood next to Liesel. His gaze flitted between the other senior executives and his direct manager. He looked terrified, as if he'd been bullied by Liesel numerous times already.Everyone else shot Liesel meaningful looks. Suddenly, Liesel had become the central figure in this whirlpool, like she had been the one who caused everything to go wrong.Liesel kept a smile on her face."Enough. Liesel is now the CEO of Hardin Group; she has the right to make any decision!" Elijah said coldly.Elijah's older brother, Sam, spoke up gently. "Elijah, since you've already given your authority to your fiance, then you don't have the right to express your opinion. The shareholders are questioning Liesel, not you. You should understand that.""Exactly. You gave all your shares and assets to Liesel, so why are you getting involved? Also, wasn't it your assistant who'd sent us this proposal and asked for this meeting?""Everyone knows that Liesel is your fiance. Before we even said anythin
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 587
Liesel was smiling, but her expression told a different story—"You can express your opinion, but I am definitely not budging."The shareholders turned pale. Yes, they had somehow forgotten about Liesel's power of influence and wide network.The proposal that Austin had shared earlier was now completely unusable.Today's meeting wasn't actually a meeting. It was a stage that Liesel had set up for Austin to put on a show.Austin was the main actor, while everyone else here was part of the supporting cast. On the other hand, Liesel and Elijah were the audience who already knew the truth behind it all.The brave one, the villain, and the righteous one took turns appearing like characters in a play. Coming together for a group performance, they tried to work together to rip chunks of flesh from her body. It was truly a lively and ridiculous spectacle.Liesel was satisfied with the show that she'd just watched. After she'd played everyone as she had planned, she slowly applauded. She s

However, Liesel was different. With her current abilities and status, she was already a threat to many.Even Hardin Group was about to change to the Sharp family name.The Hardins were among those most upset by this.Richard flipped through the contract and forced a smile. The other senior executives also wore dark looks and unreadable expressions.If Elijah really transferred all the authority to Liesel, then what was the point of having senior executives? In the future, they would have to obey her instructions and rely on her for their livelihood. How ridiculous!In response to that, Liesel kept her composure. She acted as if she wasn't that excited by this.It was the truth. She had Shifter Corporation, so she never thought highly of Hardin Group to begin with."Elijah, rather than transferring all the power to Liesel, why not give it to the Hardin family and other executives? Ultimately, there's a limit to Liesel's abilities. If something really went wrong, then who would ta
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 589
At that moment, someone who was colluding with Richard was also feeling wary, but he had no choice but to put on a smile of admiration. However, on the inside, he was scheming about how to tear Liesel down.Liesel didn't say much today, but every time she opened her mouth, it was a direct stab to someone's heart.Sitting in the seat of higher management was like stepping into a warzone. Naturally, Liesel wasn't going to show kindness to her enemies, so she had always been ruthless with her attacks.Austin displayed great mental fortitude by still being able to stand. However, he had lost control of his expression. His face was bright red as if it could burst with a slight poke. He felt ashamed.Richard stood up so harshly that he nearly sent his chair toppling backward. He looked embarrassed by the screeching noise that sounded.Liesel was too powerful. In less than a few years, the entire Hardin Group would belong to her, not just the CEO position. She would even slowly get back

To Elijah, it sounded like Liesel was saying, "Tonight, I'll become yours."She pushed his wheelchair to the master bedroom. Right now, his inability to walk made things easier for her instead. Sitting on his lap, she hooked her arms around his neck, whimpering. In the end, any movement coming from them turned into a quiet moan from the back of her throat. He listened to her syrupy voice. She was the one forcing him, but in the end, she was the one who cursed him with a sob, "Jerk."Well, he was a jerk, wasn't he? She had to practically force him into doing this.What a jerk, Elijah.However… he was really pleased to be able to so clearly feel someone love him so deeply. She knew that he was pulling away, so she tried to pull him out of his shell."Thank you," he said. His voice was husky and listless with pleasure.She propped her chin on his shoulder, gasping for breath. Her body collapsed into a heap, and her mind was spinning. However, in the next moment, Elijah wrapped his

Become Liesel's? Did she mean that she wanted to do it with him?Elijah felt a little helpless. Before he could say anything, Liesel crossed her arms and looked at him. "Are you going to say that I'm messing around again?"Elijah, I'm not. I really just want to be with you. You know I'm a carnivore. If you keep me on a vegetarian diet, I'll get upset."She was already blatantly spouting nonsense.The reason they had never gone all the way in the past was out of concern for her health.Moreover, although Elijah looked like the epitome of a playboy who wasn't serious about relationships, it couldn't be further from the truth. In actuality, he was a purist when it came to love.He felt that since he hadn't properly proposed to Liesel and taken her to be his wife yet, he couldn't go all the way with her. It was out of respect for her.However, it was clear that Liesel wanted to completely ruin his plan.Elijah had a vague idea as to why Liesel was doing this.She understood him

"I have a guess as to who was behind this. Charles wouldn't do something crazy now, so it must either be Dash or Augustine. They must want to drag me down."Let me guess how those people are cursing at me right now. Has Thomas' real identity been found out? I bet that they think I'm trying to suck up to him in order to use the Keller family's power to help Hardin Group out of tough times. "Or perhaps, they think that I've betrayed you and chosen the Keller family over you."It had to be between those possibilities. Liesel could guess as much even with her eyes closed.She couldn't help but laugh quietly. "I bet people are already feeling bad for Mr. Hardin for getting kicked to the curb by an unfaithful woman like me."Mr. Hardin, have I dumped you?" She leaned closer to him. Her seductively warm breath wafted over his face. Elijah's face was reflected in her dark, glimmering eyes. "I haven't. We were kissing, right?"With that, she pressed her lips against his again. She kissed
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 635
The door to the private room opened.Liesel wasn't surprised to see Elijah. She merely raised an eyebrow, and her gaze brushed over Thomas. She gave him a small nod and said, "Head home early."Then, she walked toward Elijah. As soon as she approached, his assistant instinctively stepped aside. Liesel took hold of Elijah's wheelchair and began pushing him out of the room. The two of them chatted and laughed as they left.Thomas remained seated on the cold, hard floor with his back pressed against the icy wall. A deep ache spread through his chest.Both of them were so comfortable with each other. The way Liesel looked at Elijah was warm and filled with joy—completely different from how she looked at him.When Liesel looked at him, her eyes held a hint of appreciation, but nothing more. Just as she had said, she admired him, but her gaze had never carried the emotions of a woman in love.To her, he was nothing more than a fleeting presence in her life. But when she looked at Elija
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 634
Thomas trembled slightly at the thought and smirked at himself mockingly.As he studied Elijah, Elijah was quietly observing him in return.This wasn't Elijah's first time meeting Thomas.On the day of the interview, Elijah had caught a glimpse of him in passing. Back then, Thomas had radiated confidence and defiance, like a proud lion ruling the prairie. But now, he looked like a rabbit with tear-streaked, bloodshot eyes.Although calling him a rabbit wasn't entirely accurate, the redness in his eyes was undeniable.Had he confessed again? It seemed he had been rejected yet another time.Elijah's hand rested on the armrest of his wheelchair as he gazed at Thomas calmly. He didn't question Thomas' relationship with Liesel because he trusted her completely. If anything, at this moment, Elijah found Thomas pitiful.Thomas didn't know what Elijah was thinking. Seeing Elijah's frail state filled him with shame. Pursuing Liesel behind Elijah's back now felt utterly disgraceful.He c

Thomas stood up stiffly. He kept his head bowed, and his devastated face was hidden in shadow."I'm sorry, Liesel," he said. His voice was choking with emotion. "But I really like you... I didn't want to cause you trouble. I just couldn't stop myself from falling for you."Liesel kept her gaze fixed on him. "I know," she replied calmly. "But I still have to say no."Her rejection was as straightforward as it was merciless. "My love is Elijah—now and always. Thomas, don't waste your time on me. Focus on your own life. "Pursue someone who's truly right for you. One day, you'll find the person meant to be with you." "I'm sorry," Thomas muttered. "I guess I've been too immature... but my feelings for you have always been genuine."He looked at her, and his words carried a depth of affection that refused to be contained. Then, without another word, he turned and headed for the door.Liesel silently watched the tall figure retreat. "Thomas, you'll find the right person someday,"
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 632
Thomas was momentarily stunned. After a brief pause, he hurriedly blurted out, "I'll go abroad with you!"His reaction was quick, but his words came out before his thoughts could catch up. It was an impulsive response."Then what about my career? What about my dreams?" Liesel gazed at him while saying firmly, "Will you ask the woman you love to give up everything she's worked so hard to achieve just to be with you? Do you even know how much effort it took for her to reach where she is today? "What gives you the right to destroy it all? What gives you the right to demand she abandon everything and start over from scratch?"Thomas, the least you could do for someone you love is to not make their life worse. Do you understand that? Do you realize how many people are already speculating about my relationship with you?"If you step forward now, they'll pounce on the opportunity to ridicule me. They'll say I'm promiscuous, that I dumped Elijah in favor of someone with greater wealth
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 631
Liesel looked at Thomas, who was on the verge of tears, and couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her nose. "Don't cry," she said.The tears Thomas had been holding back streamed down his cheeks instantly. For the first time, Thomas disobeyed her."You rejected me, and now you won't even let me cry! I just feel so wronged," he said. His expression was heartbreakingly vulnerable, like a child abandoned by the world.And wasn't that exactly what was happening? Thomas was about to be cast aside by Liesel. How could he not be devastated?If Thomas let himself cry fully, he reckoned he would drown the world in his tears.He couldn't help it and reached out to grab Liesel's hand. "Can't you love me too? Please?"The tall young man knelt before her. He was being completely sincere."Thomas, I already love someone else," Liesel said softly. "I love Elijah, and he loves me. He treats me so well."You shouldn't waste your time on me. One day, you'll meet someone who's right for you. But
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 630
Thomas asked if the miscarriage hurt. "Did it hurt?"He didn't think about anything else. His first thought was whether Liesel had suffered and been in pain.Liesel's throat tightened. A self-mocking smile flashed across her face.Did it hurt?Of course, it did.She had felt pain when she divorced. She had felt pain whenever she saw Jacob. She had felt pain when she lost their child.For a long time, every time she closed her eyes, she would be haunted by nightmares. She would dream of a child calling her "Mommy." The child would cry and beg her not to leave.Compared to that, physical pain was nothing.Even now, whenever she saw children on the street, she would think of the life that never had the chance to be born.Liesel lowered her gaze in silence. Thomas felt his throat tighten.But it was only for a moment. In the next second, all the darkness and pain in his eyes disappeared. "I don't care! I only care if you're hurting!"Thomas wiped his face, discreetly brushing aw
