Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back novel Chapter 110

Drew's ridicule left Natalie as white as a sheet. Just as she was about to rebuke, she suddenly heard a voice whose tone was teasing yet clearly also mocking.

"Your personal emotions and unobjective delusions have already taken over your rationality. You're already unable to think rationally. If this investment fails, how will you explain it to the others?"

The new visitor was none other than Elijah. He leaned against the door, giving her a pressing stare.

"The investment won't fail. I'll stake my career on it," Natalie said. She emphasized each word through gritted teeth.

Words like that couldn't be spoken recklessly!

Even Drew cocked an eyebrow when he heard that. He gave her a long look. Right now, he had a feeling that Elijah had purposely dug that hole for Natalie to jump into.

Yet, Natalie was completely unaware that Elijah had just forced her into a hole. She turned toward Jacob.

With a determined gaze, she said, "Mr. Ford, Mr. Rayden gave me this contract, and I have absolute trust in it. Although it's true that the initial investment amount is colossal, once the project is complete, Ford Corporation will receive a handsome sum of money every year.

"Please trust my judgment! I can vouch that this will absolutely not fail! If this investment flops, I'll immediately resign from the company!"

Jacob didn't answer her. He picked up the contract and read through it slowly.

A glint of amusement shone in Drew's eyes.

Elijah let out a snort. He yanked a chair over and sat down beside Liesel. Leaning back in his chair lazily, he leaned close to her with an unreadable look. "Tell me, is she an idiot?" he whispered.

He'd really never seen someone so eager to get fired before. Despite so many people advising Natalie against the idea, she still insisted on going her own way. Did she really think of herself as a business whiz?

However, his reaction surprised her. He pointed at that footnote and said in a chilling and oppressive tone, "Did you say you'll stake your career on this? Natalie, I gave you this position. You think too highly of yourself."

Jacob's words caught Natalie off-guard, and she was stunned. For a few seconds, her mind was in utter chaos. She couldn't even think straight. "Mr. Ford, what did you mean by that?" she asked, dumbfounded.

"Your stake means nothing here," Jacob said slowly, emphasizing each word as well. He maintained his typical cool and apathetic demeanor. He did not offer her any affirmation, praise, or encouragement.

None of the gentleness that he usually treated her with was there.

"Based on your academic background and capabilities, you don't even have the privilege of submitting your resume to Ford Corporation. You don't have any project experience, so you don't even have a 'professional career' that you speak of in my company. Therefore, you are not qualified to act as the guarantor for this project."

"But how—how come Liesel could become a guarantor last time? What right did she have? She was the same as me back then!"
