Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 74
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.

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

"Are you not coming back with Lili for dinner tonight? It's odd. Lili would usually be heading back on this day. Did you snatch her away?" Vincent asked.Alex felt a wave of panic wash over him.Liesel wasn't avoiding Ford Manor because of Jacob. It was clear she didn't want to return because they were divorced.Jacob, with his bleary eyes, took a while to respond. "She left.""Left? What do you mean, Lili left? Where did she go?" Vincent fired off three questions in quick succession.Alex broke out in a cold sweat as he hurriedly grabbed the phone from Jacob's hand.He forced an awkward laugh and said, "Jake and Liesel had a fight. He couldn't swallow his pride to apologize, so he came to my place to drink. Liesel just left for some fresh air. It's nothing serious, Mr. Ford Senior. They'll be back to normal by tomorrow."Vincent frowned. "I knew you were the one who took him drinking."For heaven's sake! When did he ever take Jacob drinking? Jacob was here drowning his sorrows

Liesel used to hope that she could be bound to Jacob. But now, being tied to him would only bring her pain.Seeing Jacob made her uncontrollably think of everything that had happened today. She didn't want to and couldn't accept it all.She was a living, breathing person capable of laughing and feeling pain. How could she possibly recover quickly from the way Jacob had treated her and face him calmly again?Liesel forced a bitter smile before slowly speaking. "Can't I just prioritize myself, Alex?"This statement left Alex momentarily speechless.She was right. Why couldn't she do something for herself?She had merely married Jacob, but they were divorced now. Why should she keep bending over backward for a man who had hurt her?"Liesel, you absolutely can, but Jake is drunk right now. I'm just worried that when Mr. Ford Senior arrives, Jake might say something he shouldn't."Mr. Ford Senior looks healthy now, but he's been hospitalized before due to stress. He's getting older.

Alex's gaze fell on the bandage on Liesel's forehead, which looked like it had been changed recently.As he looked closely at Liesel's face, he could clearly see the weakness behind her pale complexion.Of course, she was weak.Who wouldn't look terrible on the anniversary of their mother's passing, especially when they were bullied by their ex-husband and his new partner? The harm Liesel suffered was undoubtedly greater."It's nothing. I bumped into something." Liesel forced a smile as if to divert attention.Alex was momentarily at a loss for words but couldn't take his eyes off Liesel's face. He could sense that she was trying to evade the topic. Perhaps her injury had occurred today.He felt a pang of concern. The words urging her to comfort Jacob got stuck in his throat.Liesel kept pressing her hand against her abdomen as she slowly walked over.Noticing something was off, Denzel pushed the glass of juice he had just ordered to the edge of the table. It was prepared for L

Vincent had arrived.Everyone knew it, and so did Liesel.Frowning, she moved closer to Jacob and took his hand, as if they were cuddling together.Anyone who saw this scene would assume they were a loving couple. But who could have guessed that it was all an act?As Vincent pushed open the door, he froze momentarily at the sight in the corner.Alex quickly stepped forward and smiled as he welcomed him in. "Mr. Ford Senior, I can't believe you actually came! I told you not to worry about Jake. Liesel was nearby. She was way more concerned about Jake than you are."He continued, "They just had a little spat. It's nothing serious."Vincent listened, but no one knew if he believed Alex.He walked over. His aged yet sharp gaze settled on Liesel and Jacob, and he quickly spotted the bandage on Liesel's forehead."How did you get that?" he asked Liesel.She paused for a moment, then raised her hand to casually touch the bandage on her forehead with a smile."I was too emotional wh

Liesel deliberately tried not to think about what had happened today, but she couldn't help it. The thoughts only grew deeper.Rubbing her forehead, she stood up. Her gaze landed on the wedding photos hanging on the walls of the room.In those pictures were Jacob and her.They had been taken three years ago after Vincent insisted Jacob take her for a photoshoot. Even though Jacob had been reluctant at the time, he had no choice but to comply.Vincent had specifically asked Edgar to hang the best shots on the walls.In the photos, Liesel was smiling gently. Though a hint of worry lingered in her eyes, it was overshadowed by a deep longing and hope for the future—a yearning to build a life with Jacob.At that time, she was so innocent. She stepped into marriage without a care for the world and somehow bound herself to it.He didn't love her. No matter what she did, he would never love her. That was a foregone conclusion.A loveless marriage was destined to wither. In the end, eve

Charles took out a tiny box containing a chip as large as a soybean and handed it to Sam. "This is the latest listening device. We'll have to trouble you to find an opportunity to plant this in Elijah's car. After all, only those closest to Elijah can get this done."These words seemed to mock Sam. It was ridiculous to know that Elijah's closest family was planning to betray him.Sam didn't consider any further. He snatched the box from Charles, earning a few chuckles from him. "We'll meet again, Mr. Hardin." As soon as Charles turned away, his gentle smile faded into a mocking smirk. What a foolish man.Sam knew nothing about the financial world, yet he thought he was worthy of becoming heir to the Hardin family. He should look at himself in the mirror.Now that Liesel was running Hardin Group, the company was no longer like it once was. If Hardin Group ended up as the winner at the financial summit, they would even surpass Ford Corporation. It wasn't just Ford Corporation

"Elijah is indeed talented and smart. But where are you lacking, Mr. Hardin?" Charles patiently guided Sam. Charles crouched down to meet with Sam's gaze. He saw hatred hidden in the depths of Sam's gentle eyes. "Mr. Hardin, you're merely crippled. Why must that ruin your chances of being the heir?" Charles continued with a chuckle, "Mr. Hardin, you are the oldest in the main branch of the Hardin family. You are the true heir of the Hardin family, right?Sam gulped. His gaze turned confused. It was Charles who sought Sam out a few days ago. It wasn't Richard who gave Sam information on Liesel. Charles was responsible for that.Sam actually wasn't very outstanding, but he wanted more than he deserved. His crippled state was the reason why he often remained in the shadows.Sam also wanted to fight for his rights, but Richard favored Uriah. At that time, Uriah was the heir to the Hardin family, not Elijah. Since Sam believed he wasn't capable of fighting Uriah, he held back his sin

On the surface, these CEOs were respectful to Liesel and praised her. However, they merely made fun of her for being a woman behind her back.For someone as brilliant as Liesel, all her efforts were wiped away just because she was once married."Did you think I was the one who chose Lili during our time together? No. From the start until now, I've always been the one who was chosen. Lili's the one who calls the shots." Elijah chuckled lightly. "Lili's amazing. She's my lover." He sounded determined. "I think you've really gone mad," Sam muttered. His gentle expression was gone. "I'm quite lucid. You guys have always been crazy. All these years, I still never learned all your old-fashioned ways. "I've always liked to be different. To me, my ideas are correct. My lover can only be Lili." Every word Elijah said was to express his love for Liesel. Elijah didn't hide his feelings for her. He wanted Sam to know what his choice was. With how things were going, there was no need fo

Sam almost never spoke to Elijah in such a tone. Elijah almost wanted to laugh.Elijah used to act like a loser. None of the ladies from wealthy families were interested in him and would just flirt with him. Only families that weren't as well-off wanted to get close to him and rub shoulders with the Hardins.As for Liesel, although she didn't have the perfect background, everything else about her was enough to make up for it. Apart from that, Heather was Liesel's biological mother. That alone was enough for Liesel to stand out among everyone else."It's better for you to say I'm not good enough for Liesel. Someone as brilliant as her could have anyone she wants. Why do you think she chose me?" As soon as Elijah finished speaking, Sam interrupted him."Because she was once married and had Jacob's child. No matter how brilliant she is in the future, everyone else thinks she's no longer pure. "Do you actually think these sly old men in the elite circles are truly stupid? Why would

Richard was even more delighted. "While Elijah was studying at Alden University back then, his lecturers kept his grades down. At that time, he was considered their genius student."Ms. Miller also participated in several projects with Elijah, so she truly understands what he's capable of. In fact, she brought up the marriage first. "Since she suggested marriage, it would be far too rude of us to reject her. That's why we need you to step aside."Richard didn't actually mean for Liesel to simply step aside. He wanted her to get lost. Liesel's gaze remained calm. She looked downward while estimating the time in silence. A faint smile formed on her lips."It's no use talking about all this with me. Why don't you wait for a few more minutes? He'll talk this out with you personally."Liesel was clearly seated in the wheelchair but did not seem like a victim at all. She looked up at Richard while speaking sarcastically. "If Elijah agrees to the breakup, I definitely won't bother h

"Since Elijah is the heir of the Hardin family, the woman standing beside him must be pure enough. She should be of high status, elegant, pure, and outstanding. Not some woman who was once married and had a miscarriage."His blunt words pierced into Liesel's heart. She looked up at Richard with a darkened gaze before letting out a mocking laugh. "You truly did your homework, Mr. Hardin, but you don't represent Elijah's stance. If he cared about all this, he wouldn't have pursued me from the start."Of course, Liesel did not reveal who she truly was. She was rather sensitive and suspicious at the moment. She remembered very clearly that she and Elijah started off with him being interested in her. He only truly pursued her because she was the one leading Shifter Corporation. Her identity was also the reason why Elijah slowly got close to her and began to understand her. Indeed, she had agreed to Elijah's pursuit because he was heir to Hardin Group. Both of them had ulterior mot

Liesel had never called Elijah "Eli" before.However, she didn't mind purposely using an intimate nickname in front of Richard now. She wanted him to feel the closeness between her and Elijah.Richard's expression fell.That disobedient son!Of course, he had handpicked a woman that suited Elijah more. She came from a noble and spotless background, and she was also good-looking. Of course, she couldn't compare to Liesel when it came to beauty, but her background was enough to defeat Liesel completely.What did Liesel have?If Heather were still alive, then she would have been Liesel's biggest crutch! Everyone would have to worship the ground she walked on.But Heather was dead, so what was Liesel worth now?She was a rising star in the financial circle known for her intelligence, but she was still just a woman. Unless she stood at the very peak, she was bound to get dragged back down into the mud one day.The young lady he'd picked was better suited for Elijah. She could easil

Richard had met Heather before.At the time, when Heather's reputation was at its peak, Richard had been a renowned playboy in their circle. He'd had many paramours and lovers, but the only one he wasn't able to forget was Heather.Heather's beauty wasn't just surface-level. Her beauty was capable of making people aware of her strength. Her elegance was akin to a highly valuable brocade. Whether one was seeing it from afar or up close, one would still get lost in the intricacy of its beauty.However, only when one held up a magnifying glass or an even more precise tool would they be able to see past the ornate patterns on the brocade. Only then would they be able to see the tiny encoded numbers below.Her stunning beauty coupled with her astounding intelligence could crush anyone around her.Liesel only resembled her by 70 percent or so, but both of them radiated the same aura.Heather had been more gentle, but there was a hidden danger lurking beneath the gentleness.

Denzel fell silent.He was clever enough to guess that Liesel must have lied to Jacob to provoke him.Liesel must not want Jacob to know that it was their baby. She must not want Jacob to continue to bother her, and she must not want anything else binding them together. Therefore, she'd made the decision to bluff Jacob that it was Elijah's child.Since it was Liesel's choice, he had no right to get involved.Denzel sighed heavily. "If you let her go, you would also be letting yourself go."Jacob's gaze darkened, and a snide laugh escaped his throat.Denzel knew that it would be futile to try to talk sense into Jacob, so he didn't bother.Before he left, he saw the danger lurking in Jacob's dark eyes. He couldn't help but feel worried for Liesel.He felt like Jacob had changed too much. He didn't know what kind of crazy things Jacob would be capable of.All he could do was pray that Jacob still held onto a shred of his rational side.…Elijah was in the middle of discussing t
