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
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 23 Because you are very important!
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
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 24 No Reason At All
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
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 25 Pretending for His Sake
Upon hearing noises from the living room, Lizzie got up and walked in, surprised to see Yelun and Flora. "Dad, Mom, what brings you here?""We came to see you. How are you feeling now?" Yelun asked, concerned by Lizzie's slightly pale complexion."I'm fine, Dad. I need one more day of rest, and then I can go back to school tomorrow." As she finished speaking, Bruno slid beside her, pulling her into his arms and sitting down on the couch together."I would like her to rest a few more days, but she won’t." Bruno spoke softly, and if Lizzie didn't know his usual ways, she might have believed him. Unable to resist, she could only glare at him silently, but Bruno ignored her."Flora, have Mrs. Wu prepare some delicious food to help Lizzie recuperate," Yelun instructed."Understood," Flora replied, nodding."No need, I'm fine", Lizzie quickly countered, shaking her head."I will take care of Lizzie, so there's no need to go to such lengths," Bruno said, his hand resting on her shoulder.Yel
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 26: I Don't Want To Hear Sorry
Louise flashed a smile, "Absolutely! I didn't have a driver today, so my brother gave me a lift, which made us a bit early. How's your health?" She asked, her eyes filled with concern as she noticed the slight pallor on her friend's face."I'm perfectly fine, oh, and you probably haven't had breakfast yet! Let's eat together." Lizzie gestured towards the breakfast box in her hand."Great, I'm starving." Louise chuckled, and they headed to the university cafeteria, settling into their seats to enjoy breakfast.Slurping a delicious dumpling down, she spoke, "Lizzie, I know you're married now, and from what I heard, your husband is a man of some standing, with no scandals attached to his name. He seems trustworthy. But there's something I think I need to tell you. Jacob is back. He came looking for you at school, but you weren't around these past couple of days." Louise hesitated before finally deciding to share this piece of news.Upon hearing Jacob's name, Lizzie's hand, which was clen
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 27: How Many Men Have Touched You?
Lizzie looked at him, "Jacob, is there any point in saying this now?" "Yes." Jacob nodded forcefully, "I can protect you now. We can still be together." He said as he pulled Lizzie tightly into his arms. "Jacob, let me go! Don't do this! Let me go!" Lizzie tried to push him away, but he held her even tighter. "No, Lizzie! I won't let you go again! Never!" Jacob was determined not to let her escape this time. He would hold onto her. But did she still feel the same way?Driving his car, Bruno saw from a distance the two figures tightly embracing. His handsome face turned frosty and he stepped on the gas pedal. A few seconds later, the car stopped next to them.He got out of the car and walked over, "Seems like I've come at a bad time, interrupting your sweet moment," his sudden remark left Lizzie frozen in place.Yet Jacob still didn't let go, holding Lizzie tightly."Let go of me!" Lizzie spoke to Jacob. What was he trying to do? Challenge him head-on?Bruno approached slowly, step by
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 28: Lost Her Body, Yet She Vows to Keep Her Heart
"I forbid it!" The mere mention of another man ignited an unnameable fury in Bruno's heart."What gives you the right to forbid?" Lizzie asked, a faint smile on her lips. "Jacob is a thousand times, no, a million times better than you, you devil, you beast."She had endured enough playing along with his games, why should she be subject to his desires?"Is that so? It seems you're not yet satisfied, are you?" Bruno retorted, smiling at her defiance, this stubbornly naive girl.Lizzie turned away, refusing to look at him. She thought that as long as she resigned herself to her fate, that she behaved as a wife in name only, it would be enough. But now, having lost her body, she must protect her heart above all.Suddenly, a white pill bottle landed on the bed. "Take it. Even as my lawful wife, you have no right to bear my child."Trembling, Lizzie picked up the bottle, scoffed coldly, "If you don't want me to have your child, then don't touch me!" She threw the pill bottle across the room
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 29: Is she really doing well?
In that photograph, Lizzie snuggled into the arms of another man, her sweet smile — a smile he thought should only be for him — lighting up her face. In just one year, he had endured the longing for her, all so they could grow old together. But when he returned, things had changed. They had become two parallel lines, never to intersect again.Was she really happy? Could he believe what she had told him?"I need to see her and find out if she’s doing well." Jacob couldn't let go. Even if he had to, he needed to verify if the woman he loved was truly happy.Ruoya shook her head, "Jacob, I just returned to the country too. How would I know where she lives? The Kolo family has numerous villas and apartments. How could I possibly know?" Even if she did, she wouldn’t tell him. She wished the two of them would never meet again.Jacob sat down on the sofa, exhausted. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. Ruoya poured him a fresh cup of tea, "Jacob, have some tea first.""I'm not drinking

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

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
