Regretful Tears Won't Bring Her Back novel Chapter 124

Liesel's irritation was growing.

"Ophelia, this is no longer his decision to make."

Her smile widened. "Even if he gave me a choice, I wouldn't choose him. What we had is really over."

Her voice carried a lightness. It was as if she had finally been freed.

Ophelia sighed heavily, knowing there was no point in trying to convince her further. Still, she couldn't help but privately resent Natalie.

"When you met Natalie at Heritage Hotel, I happened to be there too. Ophelia, don't make it hard for her anymore. She's the kind of person who doesn't deserve your attention."

Ophelia mumbled under her breath, "I just can't stand her arrogant attitude. She's a mistress and an illegitimate child, yet she acts so cocky. It's disgusting."

Liesel couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

Ophelia noticed and grunted. "Fine, I'll stop. I won't let that woman come near me again. If she does, I won't let her off easily. Liesel, I've got a dance to get to, so I'm leaving now."

With that, Ophelia perked up. She flashed a bright smile.

Liesel followed her gaze and saw a young man waiting at the corner. He was tall and handsome, with a subtle air of aloofness. He had a look that would have caught everyone's attention back in their school days.

He seemed to notice Liesel's gaze and gave her a polite nod. He then turned to Ophelia and called out, "Ophelia."

Ophelia's eyes immediately lit up. She leaned toward Liesel and whispered, "He's a year ahead of me. I won a bet with him, so he's my dance partner tonight. Isn't he handsome?"

Liesel smiled softly. "Mm, he's very handsome. Enjoy yourself."

Satisfied, Ophelia waved and walked off with the young man.

Liesel stayed behind and watched them leave.

Ophelia's background meant she could never choose a man of average standing.

"That's right. With so many people around, who else would dare? Only you would think your looks could catch Mr. Ford's eye. Yet, there's someone even more beautiful and accomplished by his side."

Sheyna's smile was laced with mockery.

"I don't know where you get your confidence from," she sneered. "Liesel is right there with Jacob, and yet you had the audacity to approach him? You really should take a good look at yourself.

"In terms of looks, you can't compare to her. In terms of intelligence, you're no match either. Even if you were blessed by the heavens, you'd still only be fit to carry Liesel's shoes."

Sheyna, who shared her surname and loved competing with her, stepped forward with her lackeys. As their taunts continued, Vivian's expression darkened.

"Who says I went to see Mr. Ford?" Vivian replied coolly.

She raised her hand and casually waved the business card she had been holding.

"I was there to meet Ms. Sharp."
