Bruno finished some work in his office and slept in the company's exclusive lounge until dawn, then drove back to the villa.Lizzie opened her eyes when the sky brightened, feeling sore and numb all over from sleeping on the couch for a night. She looked around the cold room, he didn't come back after all.She picked up the remote from the floor and turned off the TV, then curled up on the couch again.When Bruno came in from outside, he saw Lizzie curled up on the couch, sleeping with her eyes closed. He opened the curtains, letting the sunlight into the room and brightening up the large living room.Then, Bruno walked to another single couch and sat down, lighting a cigarette and smoking it slowly.Lizzie was choked by the smoke and opened her eyes, seeing Bruno sitting on the couch. She quickly sat up and waved away the smoke in front of her, "Smoking too much is bad for your health.""You care about me." Bruno put out the cigarette butt and looked at Lizzie.Lizzie suddenly fe

Lizzie followed Yufenly into the room on the second floor. Yufenly sat down on the sofa, while Lizzie just stood by."Sit down! What are you standing for?" Yufenly said in a bad tone."Yes, mom." Lizzie sat down on the sofa next to her.Yufenly saw her sit down and spoke coldly, "Lizzie, you haven't come back for so long. Are you still blaming me and your dad for marrying you into the Kolo family?"Lizzie didn't say anything. Wasn't it too late to ask her that now?"You don't speak means you are still blaming us." Yufenly saw Lizzie not speaking and got angry. "Lizzie, don't be ungrateful. It's your fortune to marry into the Kolo family and become the young mistress. Besides, Bruno is also good to you now."Lizzie looked up, "Mom, I don't know why you always treat me like this. Wasn't Ruoya the one who was proposed by the Kolo family at first? Why was it me in the end?" She didn't understand. They were both her daughters. Why did she always feel like she was an extra person?"Lizzie,

Lizzie lowered her head, yes! He was right, if it wasn't for him marrying her, if it wasn't for the Kolo family giving money to the Jiang family, the Jiang family might have gone bankrupt long ago, even if she was forced, but, she did use him indeed."Nothing to say, then you have to listen to me. Unless you want the Jiang family to face the crisis of bankruptcy again. I think you should understand what I mean." Bruno approached her step by step, while Lizzie backed away step by step, not noticing that she had hit the edge of the flower bed by the road, her whole body fell backwards."Ah..." Lizzie lost her balance and screamed in fear. At the moment when her body was about to hit the ground, she was caught by a big hand. The next second, Lizzie was already in Bruno's arms."Lizzie, you can never escape me in this life." He said coldly in her ear.Lizzie looked up at him, could she never escape him in this life? No! There will be that day, she will leave him, leave this man's side."U

In the spacious dining room, Jianmin Jiang sat in the middle of the long dining table, with Li Yufen on his right, and Ruoya and Jacob next to her. On Jianmin Jiang's left were Bruno and Lizzie, and the table was filled with various home-cooked dishes that looked delicious."It's been a long time since we had such a lively dinner. Come on, Bruno, Jacob, don't be shy. It's your first time here, and we don't have much to offer." Jianmin Jiang looked at Bruno and Jacob, one was the president of Cold Enterprises, and the other was the young master of Lei Enterprises. They both had great influence in Huahai City. If these two could become his sons-in-law, then he would have a strong economic backing for his future career.At the table, everyone had their own thoughts. Lizzie kept her head down, feeling the burning gaze that always watched her.Bruno picked up a piece of meat and put it in front of Lizzie's bowl. "Here, have some meat."Lizzie looked up at him. "Thank you."Bruno smiled at
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 21 I Know Nothing About You
With a surge of speed, Bruno swerved, steering his black Cayenne into the city's apartment buildings. Lizzie gazed at the unfamiliar underground car park, "Where are we?" "Get out!" Bruno uttered, unemotionally."But..." Lizzie turned to look at him, but his austere face betrayed no emotion. Seeing her hesitate, Bruno exited the car, walked over to the passenger side, and yanked open the door. He grabbed her slender arm, pulling her out of the car with force, then strode forth."Bruno, let go, it hurts!" Lizzie's arm was gripped tightly by him, causing her eyebrows to furrow in pain. Bruno ignored her, stepping into the elevator with his hand still firm around her arm. Despite knowing her struggle was futile, she persisted, only causing herself more pain.Not until the elevator stopped at the thirtieth floor did Bruno release her, leading her into the room before abruptly letting go, sending her sprawling onto a nearby sofa. With a pained grunt, Lizzie touched her arm. "What did you b
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 22 I don't need your sympathy
Bruno closed in on her, step by step. "As long as you comply and remain my wife, Jiang Enterprises will continue as before. However, you must uphold your responsibilities. Understand?" "What responsibilities do I have left?" Lizzie leaned weakly against the door, tears streaming down her cheeks. "You'll find out. And don't use your tears to gain my sympathy." Seeing her in this state, Bruno gripped her chin tightly. Lizzie looked at him and gave a cold laugh. "I don't need your pity." She shoved his hand away and pushed him back. A wave of dizziness washed over her, and she collapsed on the floor, unconscious. Bruno lifted her up, feeling an unusual heat from her body. He carried her into the bedroom and laid her on the large bed. Seeing her in this state, he should have been pleased. Yet, there was no joy in his heart. He pulled a silk quilt over her frail body and took out his phone. "Lycan, get Dr. Lee to my apartment. Now," he ordered sternly. Twenty minutes later, Lycan arr

Lizzie had been in the hospital for two days. Although her health had improved somewhat, Dr. Lee had yet to approve her discharge, and she had seen no sign of Bruno. Yelun and Flora had visited once the day before, leaving Mrs. Wu to care for her.Lizzie got out of bed and stood by the window, gently pushing it open to let in the warm sunlight, which illuminated her pale face, making it look translucent and feeble. She had always detested the smell of disinfectants in the hospital. She rested her feeble hands on the window sill.The door to her room creaked open, and Mrs. Wu walked in carrying a kettle. “Miss, why are you up? Are you feeling unwell? Should I call the doctor?”Lizzie shook her head, “No, Mrs. Wu, I'm fine.”“You mustn't neglect your health, Miss. The Master would be worried.” Mrs. Wu helped Lizzie back to her bed.Lizzie sat on the edge of the bed, reflecting on Mrs. Wu's words. Would he worry? It had been two days and he hadn't shown up. Wasn't he supposed to be happy

Casually lounging on the couch with a financial news program running on the TV, Bruno seemed to have all the time in the world. The tranquility of the late afternoon in the hospital room was interrupted by the appearance of two unfamiliar men."What brings you two here?" Bruno addressed them, not a hint of surprise on his face."Boss, we heard that your wife is ill, so we thought we'd come by, show some concern," Jepan spoke in a hushed tone, casting a sideways glance at Lizzie, who was resting on the bed. Lycan took a seat on the couch adjacent to Bruno’s.“Boss, why is the TV volume so loud? Isn’t your wife resting?” Jepan picked up an apple from the coffee table and took a hearty bite."Well, what are you two here for?" Bruno turned his head to look at them, "You guys came empty-handed to show concern?" He prodded jokingly.Lycan coughed slightly."Come on, boss, you're loaded. You don't need any small gifts from us," Jepan chuckled, "I think the missus would be okay with us coming

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
