Lizzie smiled and waved at her, then followed Lin Hao to the black Mercedes van parked in the garage. Lin Hao gallantly opened the passenger door for Lizzie, shielding her head from the upper edge of the car door until she was seated. Then, he walked around the car and sat in the driver’s seat, started the engine and slowly drove out of the villa.Lin Hao did not accelerate much, just slowly drove. Lizzie was looking out of the window when Lin Hao softly called her, “Lizzie."She turned her head and looked at him, "Hmm.""What is it? Anything bothering you?" Lin Hao broke the silence, seeing her remain quiet."No, nothing. I just don't know what to say," Lizzie gave a faint, gentle smile.Lin Hao slightly turned his head and glanced at Lizzie but said nothing more. The car resumed its tranquillity until they reached the apartment building."Thank you for the ride, Lin," Lizzie smiled and thanked him."Lizzie," Lin Hao called out to her who was about to open the door and exit the car.

Suddenly, a suit jacket was draped over her shoulders. Lizzie turned to look at Bruno, who had taken off his own jacket to cover her. What was he playing at? One moment he was cold and sarcastic, and now he was draping his jacket over her.Her lips moved wordlessly as she saw Bruno’s impassive face. The thank you she wanted to voice remained unspoken, knowing he wouldn’t care, always following his own whims.The elevator halted, Lizzie glanced at Bruno, who didn’t move. She had to sidestep away from him, but was abruptly pulled back, the jacket falling to the ground.“What are you doing!” Lizzie’s hand was gripped tight, her back flush against the cold elevator wall.Bruno’s lips met hers unceremoniously, and Lizzie, caught in his embrace, couldn’t escape.“Hmm…” Lizzie struggled, turning her face away from his advancing lips. “Are you crazy?” This was an elevator; people could walk in at any moment.“Aren’t you trying to charm other men? Don’t you have the courage for that?” Bruno pu
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 116: The Past That Can Never Be Erased
Bruno raised an eyebrow, "Grandfather? You call him so endearingly. Don’t forget, Lin Zhanpeng is not your real grandfather, he's Lin Hao's real one. Lin Zhanpeng treats you well and keeps you by his side, his intentions are clear. Don’t you know?”“I didn’t mean it that way.” Lizzie denied. It wasn’t surprising to her that he saw through all this. He always had a way of seeing things clearly from an outsider's perspective."Lizzie, can you think before you lie? Haven't you thought about leaving me for the gentle and considerate Lin Hao?" Bruno unexpectedly felt fear, a fear that Lizzie might disregard everything to leave him.Deep down, he knew Lizzie wouldn’t do such a thing. She wouldn’t abandon the Jiang family, Yelun, or Jacob to leave him. However, Jacob was a lingering thorn in his heart, a constant reminder of a past that could never be erased.Was Jacob always the one in Lizzie's heart, while he was the one who could never get in? The thought startled him. Was he now yearning
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 117: No Room in His Heart for Anyone Else
Jacob and Ruoya sat on a bench beside the river, each holding a can of beer. "Jacob, are you thinking about your sister again?" Ruoya turned towards him, a question in her eyes.He gazed at the river, the flashing lights of the city reflected shimmering off the water. He turned to look at her. "Can I still think about her?" He couldn't, he knew that. He had hurt her too much, he had no right to her anymore. When he left her a year ago, he lost her.Jacob, you know, she's married now. No matter what, she's someone else's wife. She's not yours anymore," Ruoya told him, stating the harsh reality. But could Jacob stop his mind from wandering to Lizzie? For an entire year, she was the closest person to him, but she never felt a hint of his affection."I know she can't be mine anymore, but I can't help it," Jacob finished his beer in one gulp, throwing the empty can onto the concrete floor, creating a resounding clank. He had thought that by not seeing her, he could stop the pain, but it wa
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 118: Who's to Blame? Lizzie!
Dragging her long, formal gown, Ruoya walked alone on the street as cars whizzed past her. "Lizzie, I absolutely despise you. How could you do this? Why must you monopolize Jacob's heart? You're nothing but a heartless flirt! I'll curse you, curse you to never find happiness." Ruoya muttered under her breath as she walked, blaming Lizzie for all her miseries.She held Lizzie accountable for all that went wrong. If not for Lizzie, everything would've been smooth sailing. If Lizzie didn't exist, Jacob would've loved her and only her. But because of Lizzie, everything spiraled out of control.On such a night, Jacob left her to go home alone. Was he really going to let her walk back by herself?For a man whose heart was dedicated to Lizzie, should she continue to love him? Should she still love him? Once her love reached such depths, could she ever reel it back?Suddenly, the ring of her cell phone broke her thoughts. She pulled it out from her purse, noticing her mother's number, she pic
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 119: Turns Out, She Barely Knew Him
Whether Lizzie was the unknown wife of the CEO of the Cold Corporation was irrelevant. As long as Lizzie remained in the Kolo household and the Jiang family business stayed intact, her identity didn't matter.Her relationship with Bruno, good or bad, as long as it didn’t affect the Jiang Corporation, Jianmin Jiang wouldn't care either.Yufenly walked over to Ruoya and said, “Alright, my girl, don’t be upset anymore. Let mom take you upstairs to rest. You have been so busy with the party tonight, and you were out in the cold for so long. Rest a bit.”As Yufenly and Ruoya ascended the stairs, Yufenly comforted her, “Ruoya, darling, don’t worry about Jacob. As long as I’m here, Lizzie won't get anywhere near him.”“Mmm,” Ruoya nodded, “I’m really tired!” She sat on the couch, “I wonder if Jacob has come home yet?”Upon seeing her daughter picking up her phone, Yufenly immediately went to her side and snatched it. “Ruoya, what are you doing? Calling Jacob?”“Yes! I want to check if he's m
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 120: Provocation
Walking out of the kitchen, Lizzie saw Bruno sitting still, yet to touch his food. "What's the matter, don't you like the food?" she asked."What is this you've cooked? The eggs are overcooked, the ham is undercooked, and the lettuce ain't fresh," Bruno complained as he poked at his plate."I didn't know what you wanted!" Lizzie stood by, watching him nitpick at her carefully prepared breakfast."Make it again!" Bruno dropped his fork, leaning back in his chair and fixed his sharp gaze on her."Sorry, no more eggs and no fresh lettuce. If you don't like salty, try some jam," Lizzie responded, knowing he was intentionally being difficult.She knew her eggs were perfectly soft-boiled, the lettuce was crisp, and the ham was well-cooked. She had worked in a restaurant before and had learned some skills, but she was always too busy to usually cook herself. It seemed no matter how well she cooked, he would find something to complain about."I want coffee," Bruno glared at her.Without a wor
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 121: Is Her Humiliation Not Enough Yet?
"Uh... No!" A sense of unease spread all over her body, Lizzie struggled with all her strength. However, no matter how much she resisted, Bruno didn't loosen his grip one bit. Instead, a button of her nightgown fell off during the struggle, and Lizzie, who had not had time to change her underwear, felt a cold breeze on her chest, turning her face pale.Bruno's gaze became hotter than ever when he saw the soft roundness of her chest. His hand slid into her nightdress, gently caressing her smooth back."Don't touch me!" Lizzie whispered, gasping for air, almost suffocated by his kiss."It's you who seduced me." Bruno flung his hand, and all the plates on the table fell to the floor, shattering into pieces."I didn't." Lizzie turned her head away, her back pressed against the table, her nightgown already tugged down by him."My word is law." Bruno's hand ruthlessly covered her chest. "You're not wearing underwear. Isn't that seduction? Huh?"Lizzie bit her lip tightly, refusing to make a

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."
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 171 Chapter 171: Adeline's Fate
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
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 170: Aren't you afraid to die?
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."
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 169: Everything on the Line for Her
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

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
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 167: It's Because I Care
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
