Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 87
Denzel never expected that the one injured would be Jacob's new lover.To be honest, he was generally friendly toward women.In Jacob and Liesel's relationship, he placed most of the blame on Jacob. However, he struggled to find a way to excuse Natalie's behavior.Those who interfered in others' relationships, regardless of gender, were just despicable.Denzel had intended to take a quick look and leave, but Jeffrey recognized him and greeted him with a sycophantic smile.Jeffrey claimed to be inquiring about Natalie's injuries, but he was actually more focused on ingratiating himself with Denzel.Denzel listened impassively as Jeffrey rambled on. When he saw Natalie making a pitiful call to Jacob, he merely raised an eyebrow and glanced at her without saying anything.However, Jeffrey tried to excuse her. "Nat is very dependent on Mr. Ford. She kept calling his name even during the surgery."Jeffrey spoke as if to highlight Natalie's deep affection.When Denzel heard the word

Regardless of whether Liesel was truly responsible, Natalie had already attributed all blame to her.She and Liesel weren't on good terms.How could Liesel, injured at Jeffrey's birthday party, not seek revenge?Lately, Natalie hadn't offended anyone else. The only person she had crossed was Liesel. If it wasn't Liesel, who could it be?Moreover, how could it be such a coincidence?Liesel had a cut on her forehead, and Natalie had one too. Liesel injured her hand, and Natalie had a similar injury as well.Wasn't it obvious that Liesel was deliberately hurting her to let her know that this was all her doing? How could she not report this to Jacob?She needed to tell Jacob and let him know how malicious Liesel truly was.Suddenly, Jacob's expression darkened. His voice was cold. "You think it was Liesel who did this?"Natalie shivered at his gaze. Her lips trembled as she asked, "Wasn't it her?"Even at this point, she still wanted to drag Liesel down."You can ask her." Jacob

Natalie immediately retorted, "How can you say that about me, Liesel? I'm Jake's secretary now and a member of Ford Corporation."As soon as she said that, Liesel replied coolly, "So, are you calling to discuss the recent business contracts? Do you want to talk about the new energy initiatives or Ford Corporation's recent market expansions? Or perhaps the electronics sector?"Liesel's words left Natalie momentarily speechless. As an art student, she had no knowledge of these topics.The only reason she could enter Ford Corporation was because of Jacob. Mentioning any collaboration proposal made her feel completely lost."I'm not calling about that, Liesel. I just wanted to ask if this car accident has anything to do with you." Natalie spoke cautiously, as though she were being bullied.Liesel paused for a moment. "You had a car accident?"Natalie responded with a whimper, "Yeah, when I was on my way to the office this morning. I happened to hurt my hand and forehead."This was a

Aside from Elijah, Liesel couldn't think of anyone else who would do this.Neal hadn't returned to the country yet. And even if he had, he wouldn't resort to such childish methods of revenge.As for Jordan, he wouldn't concern himself with someone as insignificant as Natalie. But that made him overlook how much of an impact someone like her had on Liesel.Despite Natalie's humble origins and low character, she had inflicted deep emotional and physical wounds on Liesel.Jordan and Neal weren't in the country and were unaware of what Natalie had done.The only ones who knew the truth were Jacob, Elijah, and Natalie herself.With Jacob defending Natalie so fiercely, how could he possibly harm her? Since she hadn't done it, the only person who could take action against Natalie was Elijah.He was pretty decisive, perhaps with no intention of sparing Natalie.Compared to what Natalie had done to her, Elijah's retaliation was considered quite ruthless.Elijah had returned to the head

"Both of us want to start fresh, so there's really no need for the dress." Liesel declined with a smile.Of course, it wasn't just a dress.Ever since Natalie had ruined the dress Heather made, Liesel had developed a strong aversion to such gifts.She had vowed not to accept anything from Jacob again. She believed that if they were to sever ties, it had to be done completely.Drew let out a sigh. He was clearly taken aback by how things had turned out. "I thought you and boss would last."He had even picked out baby names and gifts for the couple. Who would have thought that they would end up divorced in just three years?"I'll pass your message along to him."After a pause, he offered some earnest advice. "I know you're upset with him after yesterday, but… I really hope you can take a serious look at your relationship.""I'm really serious." Liesel stood up to pour him a cup of coffee.Having worked together for three years, they had become close friends, and Liesel didn't in

"Are you sure this won't get found out? I mean, it's cheating on the college entrance exam," Zack said. No matter what, he was still a teacher and acutely aware of the consequences.Sky shrugged nonchalantly. "Dad, you've been teaching long enough to know that some people get away with bending the rules. Those with money and power don't want things like this going public."That was true. Though Zack felt uneasy, the large sum of money that Sky mentioned while draping an arm around his neck blinded him.As long as the payoff was substantial, sacrificing Xavier didn't seem like a big deal.The two of them were plotting openly in the living room, unaware of the need for discretion.By then, it was midnight. Xavier, who had just returned from his part-time job at a nightclub in the city center, overheard them.The two probably assumed Xavier wouldn't be back tonight, so they didn't bother to lower their voices.Xavier was still in his work uniform, with lipstick marks on his white s
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 93
This wasn't the first time Sky and Zack saw Xavier in this state. Sky clapped his chest reassuringly. "Don't worry. Xavier is just drunk. He won't hear a thing. He has no idea about our plans."Despite his words, Zack felt a nagging sense of unease.But before he could dwell on it, Sky had already brought up how much money they could get, and Zack simply stopped worrying about what felt off.Once back in his room, Xavier locked the door and finally let out a sigh of relief as he lay on his bed.He felt utterly lost and betrayed. His father and brother were using him without a thought for the consequences he might face.He needed to find a way to thwart their plans. He couldn't let them succeed.The stress weighed heavily on him, and he barely slept that night.The next day at school, he slept through the morning classes.Fortunately, his excellent grades meant the teachers turned a blind eye.…In the afternoon, sunlight filtered through layers of leaves, casting dappled shad

Xavier couldn't shake the feeling that he recognized Liesel. It was a strange mix of familiarity and unfamiliarity.People flowed around them, but their gazes remained locked.Noticing Liesel's attention on Xavier, Helena quickly signaled to a department head to call him over and introduce him to Liesel."Liesel, this is Xavier Scott, our all-around genius. He's likely a top scorer for this year's college entrance exam." Helena spoke with a hint of pride at the mention of Xavier.Liesel could sense that Helena genuinely had a positive impression of Xavier, which brought her a sense of happiness. "That's wonderful."Smiling, she said, "Principal Davis, since you think so highly of Xavier, how about I give him a little incentive?"Xavier, if you can achieve a top-three score in the Ashthorne college entrance exam, I'll cover all your expenses during college and graduate school. Plus, I'll throw in a special gift. What do you think?"This offer was exceptional. It practically gave

"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
