Jacob repeated in a flat tone. "Take off the dress and return it to Liesel."After that, he cast a brief, indifferent glance at Elijah. "You've watched enough. Leave now."Natalie needed to change, so they couldn't linger.Elijah's playful smile faded as his gaze remained fixed on Liesel's face. Upon hearing Jacob's voice, a smirk appeared on his lips. He regained his usual carefree demeanor."Liesel, call me if something happens. Though I don't belong to you yet, I surely will in the future. I don't mind you starting early by commanding your soon-to-be property." With that, he left the room.Jacob also followed, closing the door behind him.This room was at the corner of the second floor, where leaning against the wall provided a clear view of the extravagant scene below.Elijah observed the crowd in the banquet hall, and those pretending to be wealthy were moving about with airs of grandeur. Some flattered Jeffrey, while others tried to curry his favor as though his birthday c

"Dad only said one thing," Natalie said with a smirk as she looked at Liesel. "Can you guess what it was? He said, 'What a bummer!'"She chuckled. "He said Heather was really inconsiderate. Why did she choose to kill herself at his birthday party? If she had to die, it should have been at another time."Seriously! Why was Heather so inconsiderate? She could've chosen a good day to die instead of making you run around like this."Liesel knew Natalie was just trying to get under her skin, but she couldn't control the anger rising within her.She glared at Natalie, who was grinning smugly. Yet Natalie continued to smile and tossed her silver dress at Liesel."Do you think I like wearing a dead person's dress?"Natalie pulled out a new high-end dress and sneered, "I wore that just to see you lose it. And look at you—totally losing it."With no one else around, Natalie finally showed her true colors when facing Liesel alone."So this was all planned?" Liesel let out a chuckle."I k

Liesel acted as though Jacob didn't even exist, or maybe she just didn't care anymore.Jacob watched her retreating figure with a dark and heavy gaze.It seemed like their relationship was truly over. Only now did he feel that Liesel was truly leaving him.Instead of immediately pushing open the closed door to the room, he walked over to the window at the corner, where he could see Liesel and Elijah walking away together.Her words echoed in his mind. "I can give up Jacob's love and even the identity of Mrs. Ford!"If you want to steal something, go after Jacob."Those two lines felt like they were seared into his brain.She didn't care about him at all. At that moment, his heart simmered with a rage he could no longer suppress.But it was over between them. She was just his ex-wife, and he was only her ex-husband. He had no right to argue.In fact, this should have been what he wanted, yet inside, he was restless and frustrated.Frowning, Jacob pushed open the door, only t

Today was Heather's death anniversary.What had he done? Memories flashed through his mind. The last three years played back in his head in slow motion."Jacob, it'll be my mom's death anniversary in three days. Can you come with me to pay your respects?"Before she had even finished speaking, he interrupted her. "I have an urgent meeting in Fruece. If you need anything, just get it yourself."He handed her his black card and hurried away.Liesel frowned slightly, yet her smile remained.He recalled receiving a photo from Liesel while he was in Fruece."I told Mom I married an amazing guy."The sky was so blue. It felt like I could sense Mom's gentle smile when I said that."Jacob, could you come visit Mom with me next time?"And what was his reply? "We'll see."She had invited him each time during Heather's death anniversary, but he found various reasons to decline—work, meetings after work, or gatherings among friends that he could skip.He had continuously refused Liesel

Was marrying Jacob a blessing or a curse for Liesel?Jacob remained silent for a long time.He finally understood why Liesel had reacted so strongly when Natalie appeared in that dress during the party.What had he said?He had told Liesel to stop acting crazy.How could he utter such cold and cruel words to hurt her?Jacob's gaze darkened. "Contact the best designers in the industry and have them recreate that dress exactly."He sent Drew the picture of the silver dress Liesel had shared with him long ago.Drew said nothing and turned to leave.As Jacob watched Drew's hurried figure, his gaze wavered.…Meanwhile, Liesel got into Elijah's car.Moments later, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Jordan, read the files I sent you. Create a strategy targeting Sharp Group. I don't want them to receive any collaboration offers for the next three months."Her eyes were red. Her exquisite features were overshadowed by the icy tone of her voice.Jordan Steele was the d

Liesel Sharp.On the surface, she was the legitimate daughter of the small Sharp family and a genius who graduated from Alden University in Ashthorne with perfect scores.But behind the scenes, she was the true mastermind steering the rising Shifter Corporation.With her background and identity, how could she not be worthy of Elijah's pursuit? Someone like her belonged with him.Their backgrounds, personalities, and everything about them indicated that they were a perfect match.Elijah had initially been unaware of Liesel's true identity. If he had known, he would have treated her with more seriousness.He had thought Liesel merely owned a business, never realizing she was the driving force behind Shifter Corporation, which was growing at lightning speed.Elijah asked, "Why is it called Shifter Corporation?"The name didn't seem to have any connection to Liesel at all.Liesel replied flatly, "Shift means to transform. I want to bring about change and innovation in our country.
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 75
Liesel made it perfectly clear and explicit. She wanted nothing personal to do with Elijah.Suddenly, Elijah scoffed, almost as if amused by her straightforwardness."Not bad. I get such benefits from just helping a little. I hope you'll remember me if opportunities like this come up in the future, Ms. Sharp."Liesel's gaze remained cold as she responded, "That depends on how much value you can offer me, Mr. Hardin."She truly was direct. She set firm boundaries without hesitation.Elijah stayed silent for a moment, locking eyes with Liesel for several seconds before speaking again. "Liesel, you can't put up walls with me just because you've been hurt by Jacob."Liesel looked at him and smiled faintly. "You had ulterior motives from the start, didn't you?"If his original purpose wasn't genuine, how could he expect her to respond with sincerity?Liesel understood this all too well.If someone's initial motives were selfish, how could she trust that person enough to build a dee

"Jacob, you've gone too far," Denzel couldn't help but comment."It's understandable if you can't accompany Liesel to honor Ms. Mallone because of work commitments, but you shouldn't have gone to Jeffrey's birthday party today. You're like stabbing her in the heart."Denzel's tone carried a distinct chill.Jacob's eyes darkened, and Alex sighed from the side. "If I were Liesel, I'd hate you for this. Jeffrey cheated on Ms. Mallone during their marriage and ended up having Natalie."We don't even know if Ms. Mallone was driven to her death on Jeffrey's birthday. And here you are, not only divorcing Liesel for this illegitimate daughter but also going to Jeffrey's birthday party on the anniversary of Ms. Mallone's death."Alex shook his head, exasperated.He thought about reaching out to Liesel, but he worried he might only hurt her further, so he held back his frustration.Jacob remained silent. His expression was grim as he downed glass after glass of alcohol.Denzel sensed the

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

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

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

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
