Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 615
"You better actually have something important." Charles clicked his tongue. He didn't stop Natalie but gave her a look that clearly told her to scram.Natalie hurriedly entered Jacob's office.The theft of Hardin Group's data has led to the emergence of new smart systems and anticancer drugs everywhere. This made headlines both domestically and internationally. Hardin Group was caught in the midst of it all.Jacob felt that Liesel would need comfort. His expression darkened as he prepared to seek her out. But before he could even put his pen down, the office door was pushed open by Natalie.Her gaze flickered when she saw him."Jake, let me come back to Ford Corporation, please." Her voice was soft. It was almost pleading.She appeared so vulnerable that it was hard not to feel sympathy for her. But Jacob had already lost patience after her countless requests.Just as he was about to turn her down, Natalie stepped forward and said, "Let's make a deal. I'll trade you Liesel's jou

"I want Charles to do it," Natalie said.She wasn't sure where her courage came from, but she was still bargaining even at this point.It was a well-known fact within Ford Corporation that Drew had been ousted from the executive ranks.Natalie knew all too well that if Drew took her to her desk, it would make everyone believe that Jacob no longer cared about her.In fact, Jacob hadn't purposely targeted her. It was just his default habit to let Drew handle the job arrangements. But hearing her words now, Jacob realized the situation had changed.Indeed, Ford Corporation was no longer what it once was.Drew was about to submit his resignation and leave Ford Corporation. The so-called Iron Triangle in Ford Corporation would no longer exist.Jacob looked at Natalie deeply. "I'll have Charles make the arrangements."Natalie finally let out a sigh of relief.Jacob, who was eager to get his hands on Liesel's journal, quickly gave the orders. When Charles received the news, he couldn

Between the pages, there was a photo—a snapshot of Jacob during a speech. Liesel's admiration for him was so blatant that it radiated from the image itself.A soft, ethereal glow seemed to envelop him in the picture. It lent him an air of aloof detachment, yet it was impossible to look away. Every gaze seemed drawn to him.Liesel had written, "He's glowing. I think I've fallen in love with him."At that time, she was still a young girl, while he was already a valedictorian returning to Alden University at Helena's invitation to deliver a speech.He had stood on the stage, and she had stood below, looking up at him.What had Liesel felt when she took that photo? What had moved her to write those words? Had she loved him that much from that moment? She had actually loved him for so many years.But how could someone who loved him so deeply suddenly discard that love and turn to Elijah?The conflicting emotions overwhelmed Jacob. It felt as though his heart was being torn apart and

Liesel had written, "I'm going to marry him, but he doesn't love me."The back of the photo held her disheveled notes."I didn't do anything wrong… I didn't drug you, Jacob. Please don't hate me. Please. You don't have to love me; just please don't hate me."The next entry was from their wedding day."Happy wedding, Mr. Ford."A photo from their wedding was pasted in the journal. It was one Vincent had insisted Jacob take. Liesel held onto Jacob's arm. Her face was radiant with a soft smile. It was filled with hope for the future.Even though he had told her he didn't love her, she still had hope.She loved him so much.But what had he done? What had he said to her?He had said, "I don't love you, Liesel, and I never will."I can give you everything you want, except love."Take the pill. You're not worthy of having my baby."Don't forget how you got this position, Liesel. You'll never be Mrs. Ford."Stop with those little tricks. I won't love you."Jacob stared at the pho

Reuben stood expressionless behind Liesel. He watched the scene unfold without taking any action. It was as if he were observing a farce.A police officer from the White-Collar Crime Division was sitting at Liesel's desk and typing quickly on the keyboard.Charlie Harper, the lead officer, stood beside Liesel and explained the situation. "This computer was clearly hacked. It seems that an email containing a Trojan virus was accidentally opened."At this point, we can't tell which email it was exactly. This hacker is highly skilled—far beyond the level of our technicians."Charlie sighed and shook his head.All the executives glared at Liesel. Their eyes were filled with condemnation.Richard, especially, shouted furiously, "Do you not realize your computer contains sensitive company secrets? I never open emails from unknown senders! You, a tech expert, actually opened one so casually? The company is facing a huge loss because of you, Liesel. You must take full responsibility!"T

Liesel remained unmoved. A lazy smile tugged at her lips as she slowly toyed with the pen in her hand with her slender fingers.All the reprimands were like whispers in the wind to her. Standing before her was Howard, a shield protecting her from the wind."How are you going to release a condemnation statement without evidence? Aren't you afraid Dash and Augustine will countersue Hardin Group for defamation? If we do as you said, Hardin Group and the other national enterprises will only fall deeper into crisis!"Reuben had seen enough. He couldn't stand watching Liesel being cornered, especially since she was Heather's daughter. After a brief pause, his voice turned cold as he questioned the room.His status demanded respect. As soon as he spoke, the entire room fell silent.Richard, who was stunned, lowered his head.He realized he had acted too agitated. Once public opinion was stirred up and Hardin Group failed to produce solid evidence, the police wouldn't cooperate in issuin

"Sure." Felix didn't hesitate."Shall we continue this conversation on the rooftop?" one of the senior shareholders asked as he pulled open the office door.Felix turned to look at Liesel as he silently sought her opinion.Liesel gave him a small nod. It was a subtle signal that she had things under control. Felix's tension eased instantly.With a calm and composed expression, he patted Liesel on the shoulder. "Be careful." Then, he strode toward the door.Liesel's gaze followed him, but she remained rooted to the spot.A whole crowd had stormed in moments ago, and now they left just as grandly.Meanwhile, officers from the White-Collar Crime Division dismantled every computer in sight in preparation to take them in for further examination.A thick stack of organized documents lay on the desk with dozens of names listed in black and white. They were all from the research department. Lying discreetly among them was Alisha's name.Austin's, however, had been completely cleared o

Charles' pupils dilated. For the first time in a long while, the ever-composed man felt a flicker of panic.But it lasted only a second. By the next moment, his expression was back to its usual calm indifference. "If you're talking about Drew, then yes—it hurt."Liesel's smile faded. The chill in her voice was unmistakable. "This has nothing to do with Drew, and you know it. So don't play dumb."It's about a dog you spent years training and grooming. But he turned around and bit you at the last moment. I imagine that must've been a deep wound."Her words were laced with venom. "You should be grateful Ford Corporation never got its hands on that intel. Otherwise, Ford Corporation would be regretting it. You all would be regretting it."Charles stared blankly at Liesel, but beneath the surface was a raging storm.He was no fool, and neither was Liesel. She could see right through him. It was the unspoken understanding they had built over three years of working together.She had kn

"That's because they couldn't find any proof. You'd best be careful from now on. Who knows, you might end up going down the wrong path and go missing!"Austin took out his phone and swiped the screen a few times. Then, he smiled and said, "Mr. Hardin, I'd recorded what you said on my phone and just uploaded the clip to the cloud. If something ever happened to me, my friend would help me call the police, and you'd be the prime suspect.""You're fucking asking for it!" Richard raised his fist while snarling."Enough!" Felix said coldly. "Let's watch the live stream!"Richard pointed his finger at Austin's nose threateningly. Then, turning to Liesel, he said, "Liesel, I believe that you were the one who recruited Austin into the company."Liesel ignored him and just looked up at the big screen.Richard added, "The tweet you posted gave Dash the inspiration to do this. Now, they're holding the test drive event three days earlier than us. Are you happy now? Have you realized that ever

"What can I help you with, Austin?""Ms. Sharp, I wanted to clarify that I really didn't steal any company secrets. Alisha and I are just dating," Austin said, and his cheeks turned slightly red. He continued shyly, "Those emails I sent her were love letters, not Trojan viruses. The police have also investigated and found nothing wrong. Please believe us, Ms. Sharp."It was a good act. Those who weren't in the know might really think that Austin was just an innocent young man in love.Liesel narrowed her eyes but said nothing.Howard chuckled quietly, and his gaze was icy.A strange atmosphere fell over the trio.Liesel knew that Austin was putting on a show, and Austin himself knew that Liesel knew.But so what? In Austin's view, the winner could put on a show, fabricate lies, and do whatever to destroy the other party. Meanwhile, the party getting destroyed would just be forced to accept it.Hardin Group was powerless to make a comeback, so there was no way that Liesel coul

The reason Blair had reached out to Liesel was to tell her that Rayden Enterprises was going to hold a test drive event at Silvermist Peak this afternoon. The entire event would be broadcast live, and the news had already spread far and wide.Howard's new smart technology could free mankind from the shackles of conventional energy and help them move toward a new era.Draskians were paying close attention to this, and Rayden Enterprises was rejoicing. The whole world was watching this small test drive event.Liesel wasn't the least bit surprised.When she had the PR department share the promotion plan, she had already guessed that Rayden Enterprises would try to take control of the situation first.Until they managed to squash Hardin Group, they were not going to stop.This technology could only be completely owned by one company, just like how two tigers couldn't coexist in the same mountain. After this, Rayden's Enterprises would definitely try their hardest to bankrupt Hardin G

"Who cares about Liesel's love life? I just want to know if Liesel really stole company secrets.""Didn't you see that she was determined to be not guilty and thus released? I wonder if there really was an investigation, or perhaps those in power were charmed by her."There were countless people watching the drama and throwing around snide remarks.Thomas wasn't stupid enough to make a statement right now. He knew that if he did, those people would only attack her even more.However, at that moment, Elijah logged onto his Twitter account and posted a tweet. "She's mine now."He also uploaded a photo of the two of them interlocking fingers. In the photo, pink kiss marks could be seen inside the wrist of the feminine hand, and that hand was even wearing a diamond ring.In the midst of public outcry, Elijah was just calmly and serenely showing off their love.Those who didn't understand thought that Elijah was just standing up for Liesel, but those who understood knew that he was a

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

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

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
