Lizzie suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at him. "You mean, we're going home?"Bruno nodded."Great!" Lizzie's gloominess instantly vanished, and she smiled brightly, turning around to give him a hug. "Thank you!"At this moment, Steward approached them. "Young Master, Young Madam, are you alright?"Lizzie shook her head. "I'm fine, sorry, Steward.""You don't have to apologize to me. I should have accompanied you outside. The young master was very worried," Steward said, relieved to see Lizzie safe and sound.Bruno hugged Lizzie. "Let's go! Pack your bags, so we don't miss the flight.""Alright," Lizzie quickly walked into the elevator as soon as the doors opened.Bruno turned to Steward. "Steward, you talk too much. Go prepare the car and wait at the airport," he said coldly before also entering the elevator.Lizzie returned to her room and quickly packed her clothes. There wasn't much, so she only needed a small carry-on bag.Lizzie glanced at Bruno, who was sitting motio

"How can it be? In this house, you are the young lady. We have plenty of servants. You don't have to do anything. Just give orders to them. You just need to comfortably play your role as the young lady and there is no need for you to do the things that should be done by the servants." Flora said so, apparently for the servants to hear, but it was actually directed towards Lizzie, signifying that no matter how egalitarian she was in the Jiang family, in the Leng family, she must abide by the rules and act accordingly.Lizzie nodded, "I understand, Mom," she said, her voice very small.Flora laughed and said, "Good, understanding is important. If you are tired, do you want to go upstairs to rest?""I don't need to, I slept on the plane," Lizzie said, somewhat reserved. It was her first time here, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy and nervous."Come on, have some juice, oh, where is Yan? Didn't he come back with you?" Flora asked."Oh, he said he had a company meeting and wouldn't be

"Um, Kolo..." Lizzie began hesitantly.Bruno halted in his tracks, looking at her, "Since you seem to enjoy calling me Kolo, let's stick with that," he said, before continuing on his way.Lizzie jerked her hand free of his grip, glaring at him, "I can walk by myself, and besides, I don't like calling you Kolo." He was a presumptuous man. It was as if every time he appeared, she was forced to swallow words she hadn't yet spoken."Lizzie, remember, in the Kolo household, you are Miss Kolo, a virtuous lady of good breeding. If my parents find out about your glaring and shouting, well, the consequences could be severe," Bruno murmured into her ear in a lowered voice.Lizzie cast her gaze downward. His words held truth.Bruno took Lizzie's hand once again, and this time, Lizzie did not resist.In the dining room, Yelun and Flora were already seated at the table. Upon seeing Bruno and Lizzie approach, Yelun immediately called out, "Bruno, Lizzie, come sit."Bruno and Lizzie took their seats

“怎么这么问？你吃醋了？”Bruno反问她， Lizzie looked at him and sighed, "Just my luck." Reluctantly, she helped him put on his shirt, her delicate fingertips brushing against his firm skin. She squinted and fumbled with the buttons, her fingers trembling slightly. Finally, she finished buttoning the shirt."Done," she said, quickly retreating to the bathroom. The door was locked a second later.Lizzie stood in front of the bathroom mirror, patting her face and washing it as quickly as possible. When she emerged, she found Bruno already dressed and sitting on the couch. She grabbed a soft yellow dress from the closet and changed in the bathroom."Um, aren't you going downstairs?" Lizzie asked, standing in front of Bruno. She felt a little scared in the unfamiliar home.Bruno put down the financial magazine he was reading. "Let's go!"Lizzie picked up her backpack from the couch and caught Bruno's arm as he was about to walk out the door. "Cold... Yan."Bruno turned to look at her. "What's the matter?"

"No troubles, we're just here to check up since the boss is back." Jepan shook his head, smiling, taking a glance at Lycan who was sipping his coffee, and casually slung his arm over his shoulder. "You're Stone, right?"Lycan expressionlessly lowered his coffee cup, neither confirming nor denying."Rest assured, I'm doing great. You've seen me now, shouldn't you guys get back to work? I have a lot to do," Bruno quickly hinted for them to leave.Jepan retracted his leg from the coffee table, "Boss.""If you have something to say, spit it out. Don't stutter," Bruno lifted his gaze, looking at him."You speak." Jepan nudged Lycan at his side.Lycan continued to drink his coffee, "I have nothing to say. You dragged me here, what do you want me to say?"Bruno lifted his lips, "Is your company going under?""Boss, my company is running perfectly well. Actually, I came here to check up on you, no, on your wife." Jepan finally revealed his true intentions.Hearing him mention Lizzie, Bruno wa

Bruno listened to the busy signal on the phone, put the handset back on the base, and shifted his gaze to Adeline."Alright! Let's go!" Adeline looked at him, wondering if he had just called Lizzie. Why did he have such a big smile on his face? "What are you daydreaming about? Let's go! Don't keep Mr. Wang waiting." Bruno walked over to her and said. Adeline affectionately hooked her arm around his, and they both walked out of the company together.Lizzie sat alone in the music classroom at the piano, her eyes gazing out the window as the sky grew darker. Was she supposed to go back to that house? But she couldn't not go home either. "Lizzie!" Suddenly, a gentle male voice came from behind.Lizzie turned her head, looking at the boy standing by the door. She didn't seem to know him. "Who are you? Do you need something from me?" Lizzie asked indifferently."You don't remember me?" The boy's face flashed with disappointment. Lizzie frowned, "Should I know you?" Her mind raced, trying

Yelun didn't seem to care at all, "It's alright. If you're coming home late, make sure to have Bruno pick you up.""I know, Dad." Lizzie nodded.After chatting for a while, the group headed to the restaurant.After dinner, Lizzie sat on the sofa in her room, lifting the hem of her nightgown and rubbing the bruise on her knee.Bruno walked out of the study and saw her sitting on the sofa, frowning, "Does it still hurt that much? Why did you pretend to be fine earlier?" His tone was indifferent, without much fluctuation.Upon hearing his voice, Lizzie quickly pulled her skirt to cover her legs, "No! It doesn't hurt!""Stubborn." Bruno didn't look at her again and went back into the study.Lizzie stared at the closed study door, "If he cares, why does he say such things?"She had decided to stay in the Kolo family's home and be a good lady of the house, but it seemed her husband wasn't appreciative.Her recent study schedule was packed. Lizzie had classes all day, took a shower, and fell

Louise looked at Lizzie's fallen face, "Did I say something wrong?""It's okay!" Lizzie squeezed out a weak smile, then looked at Bruno, who was sitting in the driver's seat, hoping he wouldn't mind.After delivering Louise to her place, the car finally headed back to the villa.In the villa, aside from the servants, everyone else including Yelun and Flora had gone out and not yet returned.Lizzie followed Bruno into their room, and the moment the door closed, Bruno suddenly turned, tightly grabbing her shoulders with a cold, stern face."You're hurting me," Lizzie frowned, her eyes dim and afraid to meet his gaze."So now you understand pain?" Bruno remarked coldly.Lizzie struggled against his grip, "Bruno, what the hell do you want? What have I done to upset you?" Her voice gradually fading under his piercing gaze until she fell silent."Then tell me, who am I?" Bruno's grip on her shoulders only tightened instead of relaxing.What did he mean? He didn't care about her, did he? Why

Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 172: The Promise of a Lifetime（The End）
On a sunny weekend, a month later, Bruno drove with Lizzie to the orphanage.Although it was already afternoon, the orphanage was still bustling with activity. Bruno walked hand in hand with Lizzie through the sprawling garden, watching the children running around on the grass, unaffected by the heat. Among them was Adeline.Her once long hair had been cut into a stylish short style, making her look refreshed.There was a pure and genuine smile on her face, devoid of any traces of pain. She had forgotten the past, forgotten the pain she had endured. She was genuinely happy.Xu Wan approached them. "Adeline has been doing well during this time."She stood beside Bruno and Lizzie, reminiscing about Adeline's past. "Adeline used to have a strong sense of inferiority because she felt abandoned by her parents. She always wore a mask of strength and tried to distance herself from this place. But who would have thought that after all these years, she would come back completely transformed."

Bruno gave a nod, "Alright, I understand. I'll accompany Lizzie.""But, boss, what about Adeline?" Lycan spoke up, noticing that Bruno hadn't mentioned Adeline at all."How is she?" Bruno asked flatly. Even though Adeline had taken a bullet for him, his attitude toward her hadn't changed."The details are still unclear. She's currently in surgery," Lycan reported, "What if the situation isn't promising?" Given Adeline's critical condition upon being taken to the hospital, it was uncertain if she'd survive."We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Keep a watch on her and keep me updated. Lizzie was deeply shaken by this. I need to be with her." Having said that, Bruno retreated into the patient room.Watching the closed door, Jepan murmured, "Lycan, did you notice? The boss doesn't really care about Adeline, even if she took a bullet for him. He didn't even blink.""I know. In his heart, there is only room for Lizzie. She must be scared after what happened. And if the bullet had hi

Lizzie struggled with all her might, but her white blouse was ripped apart, buttons scattering across the floor.Charles stared at her exposed, smooth skin, his eyes locked onto her."Bruno certainly has a good eye," Charles remarked, tut-tutting softly.Lizzie pursed her lips in anger. The way Charles was looking at her felt like an insult."It's just the two of us here. Don't be shy." Charles pulled her close into his arms, planting a kiss on her cheek. The light contact made her feel nauseous from the bottom of her heart.Just as Charles was about to rip off the remainder of her blouse, a loud commotion erupted outside.Before they could react, the wooden door was kicked down. Bruno, dressed in a black suit, stood at the entrance."Bruno," Lizzie cried out in relief. Her heart, held tight with worry, finally eased. She tried to move towards him, but Charles held her back.Charles was taken aback by Bruno's appearance. "Bruno?""So you recognize me, and yet you dare touch my woman."

Lizzie was tied up, unable to move. Even if she wanted to escape from the high-rise building, she was trapped.Footsteps echoed from outside. The sound of shoes on concrete indicated there were a lot of people approaching. Lizzie shrunk into a corner as the door was thrust open, and to her surprise, Charles was the first to enter."You," Lizzie looked up at him."Miss Lizzie, hello. We meet again." Charles approached her, looking down from his superior height."What do you want?" Lizzie was taken aback; she never expected it would be him.Charles crouched down to her level. "Of course, I've been thinking about you." He caressed her face gently, "I've missed this soft cheek of yours."He was ready to risk it all for her. Bruno had canceled their partnership because of her. Charles wouldn't be lenient either.Lizzie turned her face away, "Don't touch me. Take your dirty hands off me." Was this man really intending to possess her? Just because of that one meeting at the nightclub?"Miss
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 168 Lizzie is being hunted
Just as Lizzie had risen and was attempting to guide Yelun back to the villa, two men suddenly appeared beside her. They forcefully shoved Yelun's wheelchair away from her grasp. "You guys..." Lizzie advanced to grab the wheelchair, but was held back by one man gripping her arm, preventing her from moving forward.Helplessly, Lizzie watched as Yelun's wheelchair rolled a considerable distance before tipping over, taking him with it.She tried to scream for help, only to realize the park was eerily devoid of people."Who are you and what do you want? Let me go!" Lizzie struggled in vain against their firm grip."Dad!" She yelled, but was swiftly restrained by the two men and forced into a vehicle.With the engine roaring to life, Lizzie watched as the park faded into the distance. She frantically pounded on the car window shouting, "Let me out, let me out!"The car sped further away, and Lizzie swivelled around to look at her captors. She reached for her mobile phone, only to realize i

Bruno rose from his seat and walked over to her. "How did you get here? Did you drive yourself?" he asked. "Yes," Lizzie nodded. "Don't worry, I drove carefully." She was aware that her driving skills were not the best, so she seldom drove on her own. "Next time, let me know if you want to go out. I'll come pick you up," Bruno said, gripping her hand tightly. Lizzie nestled into his arms with a smile. "Understood. You must be hungry. Let's eat before the food gets cold. I made this meal myself." She led him to the couch, opened the lunchbox she had brought, and prepared to serve the food. "Nothing beats having a wife who knows how to take care of me and cook such delicious meals," Bruno said, wrapping one arm around her while picking up the chopsticks with the other hand. He reached out to feed her a bite. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Try this." "I had a late breakfast. I'm not hungry yet." Despite her words, Lizzie accepted the piece of braised pork he held out to h

"Bruno, Bruno," Adeline watched as the elevator doors closed, was he really so heartless? Just to go back to Lizzie, he could abandon her so easily.Jepan stood beside her, watching Adeline's pale face, "Adeline, should we go? Do you need me to carry you?" he teased, grinning wickedly.Adeline was about to respond when Jepan interrupted her, "I might have thought about it, but I don't have the guts. I don't want to be misunderstood by Louise.""YOU!" Adeline glared at Jepan, who had never shown any kindness towards her. Especially now, when even Bruno had abandoned her, he became even more ruthless."No need, I can walk on my own." Adeline hobbled slightly as she entered the elevator, Jepan followed with a leisurely laugh.Bruno drove back to the villa at top speed. The villa was still brightly lit, were they not sleeping yet?In the living room, Lizzie held their son, both sitting there. Lizzie had a finance magazine in her hand, and their son was playing video games in front of the

The hotel banquet hall, Bruno in a black suit, with Jepan trailing him, still dressed casually."Boss, did you come in person because you wanted to confirm something?" Jepan asked."Isn't Charles coming too?" Bruno looked at Jepan, his smile inscrutable.Jepan nodded, "Boss, I bet you don't know someone else is coming.""Who?" As Bruno's words fell, a familiar voice came from behind."Bruno." Adeline, dressed in a graceful purple, approached from behind.Bruno's face fell as he watched Adeline approach him."Boss, I guess I'll go in first." Jepan wisely withdrew, regretting he hadn’t warned Bruno earlier.Seeing the gloom on Bruno's face, Jepan figured it was best to make himself scarce.Bruno was about to move forward when Adeline grabbed his arm, "Bruno, we're not strangers, are we?""How did you get here?" Bruno halted, addressing her."Bruno, I knew you were coming. You don't want to see me, but I had no choice but to come here." Adeline clasped his arm.Bruno pushed her hand away
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 164 A Good Choice
Bruno held her tightly, "You should go home early today, I have things to do tonight.""Okay." Lizzie nodded, understanding that he didn't need to tell her everything, aware that he was very busy. Although there was nothing she could do to help, she didn't want her presence to disrupt his work.Before the end of the workday, Bruno had his driver take her back to her apartment. Lizzie had a small meal, her appetite wasn't great. She made herself a bowl of noodles, but only ate a few bites and settled in to watch TV. Bob, her dog, was sitting next to her, more engrossed in the TV than she was.Bruno and Adeline sat in a French restaurant that evening. The dim yellow light and soothing music made the atmosphere elegant and romantic."Bruno, I ordered a couple's set meal, hope you don't mind?" Adeline had already ordered when they were seated."Of course I don't mind, as long as you like it." Bruno was not particularly fond of Western food. As he looked at the premium steak set meal in fr
