Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 96
Liesel remained silent. Since Natalie was ignored completely, she started to feel awkward.Drew couldn't help but chuckle softly. The sound echoed clearly in the car.Yet Natalie seemed oblivious to the tension. She insisted on pressing Liesel. "Liesel, why aren't you talking to me?" she asked as if demanding an explanation.Liesel felt genuinely irritated.Finally, unable to tolerate it any longer, she turned to Jacob with a sneer and said, "If you can't keep your girlfriend in check, don't blame me for saying harsh things."Then, her gaze landed on Natalie, and a wave of derision flowed from her lips."Natalie, I hope you always remember that I'm the daughter of Jeffrey Sharp and Heather Mallone. You're just a product of Jeffrey's affair with another woman. Even though we share the same father, your very existence is a wound to my mom and me."If you were a decent person, you'd have a sense of shame and keep your distance from me instead of buzzing around like a pesky fly."Y

The car fell into a heavy silence, as Liesel and Jacob were the only ones left inside.Liesel closed her eyes, seemingly not intending to say anything.After a moment, she settled into the driver's seat and started the car.This was Jacob's new vehicle, a sleek black Maybach. He had replaced the blue Cayenne she had gifted him.Throughout the ride, neither of them spoke. The car continued on until they arrived at Ford Manor."Liesel," Jacob called out just as she was about to step out of the car. "What's your relationship with Xavier?"Liesel paused for a moment, then a faint smile played at the corners of her lips. "My relationship with Xavier doesn't seem to concern you, Mr. Ford. You should focus only on your girlfriend."As Liesel got out, Jacob didn't press the matter about Xavier any further and merely suggested, "Since you're here, why don't you come inside?"Liesel found his remark somewhat amusing.She opened the car door, intending to call for a ride. Just then, she

Jacob watched Liesel hurry away, and his gaze darkened.Once she was gone, Vincent immediately set down his utensils. His voice was laced with clear disapproval."Lili doesn't like eggplant. Didn't you know that?"This was news to Jacob. He had only learned this right at that moment."Lili knows everything you like. Look at how she serves you food and peels shrimp for you. Everything she puts on your plate is something you enjoy. She even dipped the peeled shrimp in your favorite sauce."But you? You only served her that one dish, and it happened to be the eggplant she can't stand. Lili has always hated braised eggplant."This was completely unexpected for Jacob.His gaze flickered. After a moment, he stood up. His expression was decidedly grim.When he returned to the room, he found Liesel in the midst of retching.He sat silently on the couch. The moment she emerged from the bathroom, he noticed her pale complexion and red eyes.She was clearly feeling sick.Jacob's gaze w

Liesel continued, "Grandpa looks strong, but his heart's been weak for a long time. He's so smart. If he realized what was really going on between us, how would we handle it? Watch as he has a heart attack and lands in the hospital?"Grandpa cares about me so much. I can't let that happen. So when it comes to things like this, I'd rather put myself through a bit of discomfort."Suddenly, she smiled wryly. "Aren't you keeping Natalie in the shadows because of this?"Out of concern that Vincent might be upset, Jacob hadn't dared to tell him about their divorce.So here he was, bringing Liesel home to keep up appearances, leaving Natalie unacknowledged and without any real title.Jacob fell silent.The name Natalie rang sharply in his ears, more unsettling than ever."I'm sorry. A lot of this is on me," he murmured.He spoke gently, but his words barely registered with Liesel.There was no future between them, so Liesel wasn't looking for any feeble excuses to justify anything an

Elijah spoke bluntly. "Jacob, you're already divorced. Why are you still trying to get Liesel to go to Ford Manor with you? Just to please Mr. Ford Senior and put on a show?"You're really possessive. You don't want her, but you don't let anyone else pursue her! Don't go too far!"He straightforwardly let Jacob know he was pursuing Liesel.Elijah was serious about Liesel. He was showering her with flowers and diamonds. Since he was rich, he had the time in the world to spend with Liesel. He was plotting his way into her life step by step.Liesel's expression darkened. She hadn't anticipated things would escalate to this point.Before she could hang up, Jacob snatched the phone from her hand. "Elijah, Liesel hasn't hit rock bottom to the point where she needs to consider you as her next partner. You aren't worthy of being her suitor."Jacob's voice was cold. His words were clearly mocking Elijah's reckless past behavior.Elijah scoffed. "No matter what, I'm still a hundred times

The past would remain in the past. Liesel already knew that Jacob was just Jacob and not her husband anymore.In response to that, Elijah cocked an eyebrow. There was a smile on his lips. It was as if he was gloating at their misery.Jacob's gaze remained detached. It merely dimmed a little when he heard Liesel say that they were in the past. However, he knew that she wasn't wrong. Ever since the day they got divorced, they were indeed in the past.Liesel was destined to start a new life with a new person of her choice."Hearing you say that, I feel much more relieved," Elijah said with amusement evident in his voice."Mr. Ford, you also heard her. You and Liesel are completely in the past now, do you understand? I also hope you will stop getting in between us," he continued. It sounded like he was trying to intentionally provoke Jacob.Jacob's gaze didn't falter, but he gave Liesel a quick glance.Liesel looked down at the injury on her palm. "Elijah, there's nothing between

In other words, the news had to be about the Sharp family.As soon as the word got out, the public dug up most of the incidents related to the Sharp family. A few children of wealthy families who had too much time on their hands even spoke up, mostly talking about how fake Jeffrey could be.Liesel counted several minutes in her head, and sure enough, Jeffrey called. She silently declined the call, put on her jacket, and left the room.Coincidentally, as soon as she left the room, Jeffrey called her again. The first thing he did was scream at her. "Were you behind what happened today? After working at Ford Corporation for so long, you must have a wide network. I'm certain that you're purposely trying to tear the Sharp family down! You little bastard, you're just like your worthless mother. You want to suck the Sharp family dry!"Liesel knew very well that the Sharp family only managed to reach where they were today because they'd drained her mother, Heather. She merely grunted coo

Liesel hated having Sharp family blood. Jeffrey and Natalie were shameless, despicable people, but ultimately, it was still the Sharp family blood that flowed through her veins.If she could survive despite having all her blood drained, she was willing to pay any price to replace all the blood in her body. That was better than gagging every time she thought about the dirty, lowly blood in her system.She didn't think there was anything wrong with her. It was the Sharp family that was problematic, so what did it have to do with her? Still, she felt that the Sharps were truly disgusting. If she wanted to sever their ties, then she'd really have to be ruthless about it. However, she wasn't an idiot. She wouldn't actually hurt herself just to cut ties with them. To her, the Sharp family was not worth her hurting herself just to break off this already weak relationship.It was the first time Jeffrey had ever heard Liesel scream at him hysterically. It left him stunned for a moment, b

"I remember you saying that you thought of Ophelia as your sister, then you got together with her. Are you trying to commit incest?" Jacob said mockingly. He was cutting straight to the chase.Before Edward could respond, Jacob asked Ophelia, "Since you like CEO and brother-sister literature so much, can you swear on your life that you were imagining Edward and not me?"Of course, he had to throw snide remarks at both of them.His mouth was truly venomous.He didn't even give Edward a chance to explain before sending another blade through his heart. "Didn't you say that you would take care of Ophelia for the rest of your life? "The Ford family sent you abroad to study, but you came back only to commit incest. It seems like you didn't learn much while you were overseas. If anything, the only thing you picked up overseas was loose morals toward love."Edward's smile stiffened. "Jacob, Ophelia and I have already talked about it. We aren't related by blood, and this is between us."

When Ophelia didn't ask further, Edward rubbed her back and asked, "Are you hungry? If you want to grab a bite, shall we head to Heritage Hotel?""I want to check out the food market at Alden University, and I want you to carry me." She paused to think for a moment. "Piggybacking is also fine."It seemed like Veronica's tantrum hadn't reduced her enthusiasm for the food market. Edward was relieved that it hadn't ruined her mood."Is the food there clean? I thought Jacob said no street food." The reason he brought up Jacob's name was because he knew that he would be defenseless against Ophelia's cuteness.Jacob also happened to be the only person that Ophelia was truly afraid of.Still, Ophelia didn't take it seriously. "He's not even here. He won't know if I secretly have some."As soon as she said that, a cold voice sounded from not far away."What is it that I won't know?"The person slowly emerging from the shadows was none other than Jacob.Videos of the incident between O

Edward narrowed his eyes, sensing that something wasn't right.What could make Denzel so cautious?"Will you tell me when we get home?" Edward patted Ophelia's head. The latter leaned into his touch guiltily.Denzel massaged his forehead.Whatever. The sooner they went away, the better. He didn't want to watch them be all lovey-dovey in front of him.After they left, the janitor sanitized the office. Denzel had no more work for the night except for the discussion that he had with Jacob tonight.Just as he thought about Jacob, he called."What does your text mean? What do you mean, 'Sorry for my beloved'?"Denzel was quiet for a moment. "Have you not seen the trends on Twitter in the past two days?"Jacob was even more puzzled after he checked. Besides the news about Ophelia getting bullied by Yvonne, there was nothing else. Wasn't he already handling this matter? Or could there be something else that he didn't know about?"Are you not aware that Edward and Ophelia were trendi

Meanwhile, in the long term, Dash would be a concern. Dash had a lot of nasty tricks up his sleeve. While he might not dare to piss Liesel off now, he most likely wouldn't let Ford Corporation off the hook.Of course, Edward knew all of this.It was because he knew this that he spent such a long time abroad, hiding from Ophelia. Still, he hadn't been able to control his feelings for her. He couldn't bring himself to let go of her.He didn't have any greater aspirations in this lifetime. He only wished that he could help Ophelia reach the stars. Then, he'd stay by her side and protect her. Anything else was outside his consideration."I know the consequences." Edward gazed down at Ophelia with a gentle smile."If Ophelia didn't like me or have feelings for me, I would be willing to just stay by her side and never cross that line. However, I'm fortunate that the person I love also loves me back. "Thus, no matter what the future brings, I can handle it."I think about how brightly

Denzel sent Jacob a text that said, "Sorry about your beloved."Jacob, who was already headed to the hospital to have a discussion with Denzel, was taken aback when he read the message.What did that mean?Before Denzel could explain, the door opened. Inside, Edward was hugging Ophelia.Denzel had a strange look in his eyes. He looked like he wanted to say something but was holding back. However, Edward didn't overthink it. He merely thanked Denzel and prepared to leave the hospital with Ophelia.Upon hearing that, Denzel's smile froze. "You're welcome."For some reason, it sounded like he was seething. It even sounded a little like "fuck off".Nevertheless, Edward didn't think too much of it. However, he overheard Denzel instructing the janitor to sanitize the entire office, especially the bed and the couch.Edward was speechless. So that was why Denzel had been so hostile earlier.Despite his typically calm and refined demeanor, Edward was furious and embarrassed. "I didn't
Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back Chapter 782
Edward had the foresight to turn Ophelia's face toward him so that Denzel's smile was no longer directed at her.Denzel was speechless.All of Denzel's elderly patients wanted to make him their son-in-law, while the young women would secretly fall for his good looks and dream of marrying him. And that wasn't all. There had even been young men who had been so charmed by his smile that they kept asking if he was also into guys.Therefore, Edward didn't want his future fiance to even look at Denzel for a second too long. In his eyes, Denzel was a seductive devil, which was why he had the nickname "Denzel Medusa".Thus, Edward said shamelessly, "If you're done with the wound dressing, then you may leave. I want to discuss some things with Ophelia and also get some rest."Denzel wished he could cut ties with Edward and have the hospital blacklist him.He massaged the spot between his eyebrows. "This is my office."Without any hesitation, Edward asked, "Aren't you single?"In this

"It's my fault. I'll definitely pay attention next time." Edward felt very guilty and sorry."So you want me to get hurt again?" Ophelia tugged on the silver chain around Edward's neck. Her eyes twinkled.She had bought this necklace for him when she was younger. She remembered that it had come with an oval locket, inside which she had inserted a photo of her getting hugged by him on her own accord.She couldn't really remember what the photo looked like anymore, but she had a rough idea. She had picked the photo that she thought she looked the best in.At the time, she had still been really young, but she had been inspired by a television show. She thought that by giving a family member or a lover a gift, they would always think of her whenever they looked at it.Kids were always naive like that. She thought that since he would think of her when he saw her gift anyway, she might as well put a picture of herself inside.Thus, the young Ophelia had picked out a silver necklace and

As if she could sense something, Ophelia looked up. Her indifferent gaze suddenly lit up, and her eyes curved as she smiled.Edward's throat tightened. At this moment, he didn't know whether to feel frustration or heartache.He had been a little late, and Ophelia had ended up getting bullied by a crazy old woman.Edward walked to her side and squeezed her hand gently. Ophelia had no intention of wasting her breath on Veronica. She was waiting for Edward to come and handle her.She pointed at Veronica and said straightforwardly, "She's bullying me."Without a second thought, she continued, "She accused me of bullying her daughter, Yvonne, which is why she came to stir up trouble."Edward frowned. The Ford family didn't have much of a partnership with the Zima family, and Edward had spent a few years studying abroad. The older generation never got to see him much, so Veronica naturally didn't recognize Edward as Matthew's adopted son.Thus, she just assumed that he was another For

"I'm not interested in getting revenge on a celebrity I used to be a fan of. If your daughter received any retribution, it's only because even God couldn't let it continue."If you have so much free time, it would benefit you more to come to church with me instead."Ophelia was about to walk off when Veronica leaped forward. She held onto Ophelia's leg again and refused to allow her to leave. "No, you can't walk away! Yvonne said that she doesn't have a future in the industry anymore after making you angry."You have to forgive her! Aren't you a fan? You can't just stop supporting her. You have to keep liking her. As the daughter of the Ford family, you can give her more opportunities, and she will definitely be able to rise again!" Veronica roared maniacally.Ophelia let out an exasperated chuckle. All of a sudden, she felt like the entire Zima family was full of lunatics.Unable to hold back anymore, she said angrily, "Yvonne has committed a crime. Do you think I'm moronic enoug
