Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back novel Chapter 107

Quinn gave Liesel a long stare that was deep and meaningful. Taking a trip down memory lane, she said, "Actually, when you were younger, I met you before." She cradled her arms and continued, "You were curled up in Jeffrey's arms like an adorable snowball. I'd always thought that Jeffrey treated you very well. Why do you hate him so much?"

Liesel replied with a hint of sarcasm, "I thought you knew Jeffrey's true nature from the beginning, Ms. Lambert. He can be nice to me, but in the next second, he can also throw me, his biological daughter, into a fire pit. Jeffrey is just a selfish, self-serving bastard."

Quinn was both taken aback and surprised. "You're really nothing like how you were before."

Liesel tapped the table gently. She hadn't even touched the coffee on the table. She merely smiled and said, "If I was the same as before, I would have been trampled into the ground already."

Quinn said nothing. Her background was a little unique. 20 years ago, she had been the young lady of the Lambert family. Although her status was not on par with Heather's, she had still been considered a noble young lady of a small family.

When Jeffrey was younger, he had been rather good-looking and a sweet talker. Even though he had had numerous paramours on the side, he had been able to juggle all of them.

Being the young lady of the Lambert family, Jeffrey hadn't just been after her for her looks; rather, he had had his eye on her family assets. After seizing Heather's riches, he had also wanted to take the Lambert family's wealth.

Unfortunately, Quinn had been very young at the time. She had fallen for Jeffrey's bluffs. She had been misled into thinking that she was his only woman. He had romanced her by taking her stargazing and giving her handmade presents, things that had no monetary value.

However, Quinn loved gestures like these. She had even felt like Jeffrey had put so much care into wooing her, so she'd given her whole heart to him. She had hoped to become his wife sooner rather than later.

However, who would have known that Jeffrey was scum?

To rob the Lambert family of their assets, he'd done everything he could to kill her parents. He'd even tried to kill her. If someone hadn't rescued her, she would've crossed into the afterlife.

She had been lucky. Her father's friends had helped her out by lending her money to revive the company's projects. In order to save her parents' business, she'd picked herself up from the ground. However, she despised Jeffrey to the bone.

Liesel chuckled quietly. "You're as clever as I thought, Ms. Lambert. However, you don't have to pay above market price."

Quinn knew that this was probably one of Liesel's principles. She smiled, although she didn't fully understand it. She would accept Liesel's kindness and become her friend, but she couldn't understand why she was plotting against her own father.

"Liesel, he must treat you rather well. I don't understand why you want to get revenge on him," Quinn said, stirring her coffee. "You and him are related by blood."

Again, there was the mention of a blood relationship.

Liesel looked at her for a moment. "What are familial ties based on blood relation really worth?"
