All Chapters of Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back: Chapter 481 - Chapter 490

"But… But… Liesel said…""Why does what Liesel said matter? Ophelia, we are your family. Liesel divorced Jacob. She chose to leave Ford Corporation to join the Hardin Group. She's already made her choice—she opposes both the Ford Corporation and the Ford family. "Stop listening to Liesel, Ophelia. Trust me and Dad. We would never hurt you. We're the ones who love you the most."Ophelia's eyelashes fluttered as the foundation of everything she'd been taught since childhood began to crumble.She had a feeling that Edward was forcing her to make a choice.Though she could be naive at times, she wasn't an actual fool. She could discern truth from lies.By saying this much, Edward was essentially telling her that the world wasn't black and white and that they were standing in a gray area.He wanted Ophelia to choose and realize that she and Liesel were not allies. He was her ally.Deep down, Ophelia knew that Howard was right. But did that automatically mean that her brother's word

Anyone who harbored any ill intentions toward Ophelia would find themselves a target of the Ford family's plot and removed from the picture."You're a smart guy to be able to tap into my virtual chat room and make it this far. Are you reaching out to discuss a partnership?" Liesel typed.She made no effort to look into any information related to Stanley. Liesel first encountered Stanley at a party at Alden University. All she knew about him was that he came from a humble background. However, he carried himself with class, making her suspect that he was far from ordinary. She didn't expect to come into contact with Stanley again. Stanley approaching Ophelia was a bold move considering Matthew's protectiveness over his daughter. He was brave to do so.Liesel refrained from digging for more information as a test of his sincerity. She was waiting to see if Stanley would come clean."My parents passed away the same year as Ms. Mallone. Following their passing, my relatives fought t

Agreeing with the sentiment, everyone knew choosing Liesel was the right decision given her capabilities. She was more than ready for this.As Liesel stepped into the elevator, her destination was clear— the Research and Development Department. The display numbers rapidly decreased until they reached B5, where the doors smoothly opened.She walked out confidently, and everyone who passed her would pause to respectfully address her as "Ms. Sharp." Her expression remained gentle yet distant. She maintained a professional barrier.After dropping her belongings in her office, she headed to the Research and Development Center to meet Howard. The familiar whirring sound echoed through the brightly lit corridor, and before she could spot Howard, she noticed a red toy plane. The little aircraft's lights blinked as it circled around her a few times, then gracefully turned to lead her forward. As they passed through the corridor, they entered a vast laboratory that gleamed under brilliant l

Liesel had not noticed that her fingertips had brushed against Howard's Adam's apple. His throat moved as he swallowed hard. It was as if he was trying to contain something burning inside.After a long silence, Howard asked in a husky voice, "What about when we're not working?" Liesel noticed the dangerous intent in his eyes and thought he had completely lost his mind. They were both adults and knew exactly what he was implying. It was practically a confession. However, Liesel had not sensed any of this from Howard yesterday, and she found herself at a loss. Confusion was evident in her eyes. "Have you gone crazy?" she asked, genuinely believing he had."Who do you think I am?" Liesel looked up at Howard. Her tone was almost demanding.Who did he see when he looked at her? Howard stood frozen, momentarily lost in memories of a beautiful face from years ago. He remembered her gentle smile and how she had softly called his name, "Howard."Back then, he was just coming of age wh

The meeting was about to begin when Neal and Howard finally arrived. They took their seats at opposite ends of the conference table. Their respective teams sat along the sides—Howard's researchers in white lab coats and Neal's executives in black suits.Everyone stood to greet the leaders except Liesel, who remained seated. She was quietly reviewing her presentation notes. Then, she began reporting on recent developments, using PowerPoint to showcase the research achievements that would be presented at the summit—each one promising to make significant waves in the industry.The group examined the materials with grave expressions as they discussed the implications. It was clear that Hardin Group was heading toward renewable energy research, along with developments in AI systems and pharmaceutical studies.These were all Howard's proposed initiatives. Since Hardin Group had welcomed back their prodigal genius, they could not exactly deny him research funding. This explained why th
