Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 64: Inner Struggle
Lizzie turned her head, glancing at him. Her lips barely curved upward, but the faint smile was there. Jacob knew that this was her way of telling him that she was okay. She was doing just fine.As he watched her white figure move into the elevator, he knew she was anything but okay. Why did she always have to be like this, protecting others before herself? It was the same a year ago, and it was no different now. When he wasn't there for her, how much pain had she endured? How much humiliation had she swallowed?Regret gnawed at him. He should not have left her behind at his mother's request. But could he still change things now?She was avoiding him, always maintaining a distance. How could he make it right again?After apologizing to Manager Chen, Lizzie left the luxurious hotel. The night wind was surprisingly cold, and she realized that she had left her jacket in the banquet hall. Rubbing her arms to warm herself, she began to walk down the dimly lit street.She trudged along for
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 65: Who Are You To Make Decisions For Me?
"Have you finally learned some sense?" Bruno looked at her indifferent gaze and nonchalant tone, and deep down, he found it disturbing.Lizzie responded with a faint smile, "I've seen and understood, is this not what you've always wanted?"Bruno sat down by the bed, reached out and caressed her face, her enchanting facade was still cold as ice.Lizzie tried to dodge, but he held her chin tightly, leaving her with no room to escape, "Let go!""You just mentioned your enlightenment, and now you are disobeying again." Bruno showed no intention of releasing her."What do you want?" Lizzie looked into his unfathomable dark eyes, but saw nothing.Bruno caressed her face once more, lightly and tenderly, "Don't you have anything to say to me? Or anything to clarify?""Clarify what? The earring? Don't you all already know? Have you not already made a conclusion? What else is there for me to say?" Lizzie didn't feel the need to explain anything further, let people think whatever they want!"I'm

Suddenly a chill enveloped her, Lizzie pushed him away forcefully, wrapping her arms around her chest. However, she couldn't ward off his penetrating gaze. Bruno's large hand held her slightly trembling one, using just a bit of strength, she had already fallen into his arms."Unbutton," he placed her hand on his chest.Lizzie pursed her lips, glanced up at him. Now, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. In this brightly lit room, she was almost bare; his scorching gaze never left her.Her hand shaking, she unbuttoned his shirt. The sight of his bronzed skin entered her vision, she managed to unfasten all the buttons of his shirt.Just as Lizzie withdrew her hand, he grabbed it again, "Unprofessional," he said blandly, gripping her small hand forcefully."I..." she looked up at him.Bruno had already pulled her closer, "Who told you to leave work half-done, hmm?" His warm breath caressed her neck.She understood his meaning, but she couldn't follow through."Why silent?" He l
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 67: Leave Him! He Doesn't Love You!
Yufenly nodded, "Good, that's settled. By the way, about what happened at the banquet last night, Ruoya told me. How could you make such a scene? It's fortunate that no scandalous news has come out, otherwise, it would not only disgrace the Jiang family but also undermine the Kolo family's dignity. And you, would be thrown out of the Kolo family." When Ruoya told Yufenly about the banquet last night, she was worried. If Lizzie really gets kicked out by the Kolo family, the consequences would be severe!Lizzie, however, remained silent, head down, offering no explanation."If that happens, would you have the face to come back? You know about your father's temper. I haven't mentioned this to him, nor will I. You should know what to do, right? Also, don't tell your dad about the money, it will only upset him," Yufenly admonished, reminding her not to tell Jianmin Jiang about the fifty thousand dollars.Lizzie nodded, "Mom, I understand. I have class this afternoon. I'll head back now.""
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 68: What Makes Her Worth My Love?
Ruoya was deeply in love with Jacob, a fact Lizzie was well aware of. Lizzie had known ever since they returned home together, back to their mansion."But how could he treat you like this? He doesn't care about you at all! Why do you still stay by his side?" Jacob touched her face, his voice filled with anguish, "You've lost weight.""Jacob, don't be so kind to me. I don't deserve your kindness anymore." Lizzie shook her head.Time changes everything, and some people, some things, could never go back to the way they were."No, you are always worth it!" Jacob held her tightly, "Lizzie, I've missed you terribly this past year. I know I was wrong. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"Lizzie struggled, "Jacob, don't..." Her beautiful eyes shimmered with unshed tears.Jacob held her even tighter, allowing her to lean on him, "Lizzie, why do you insist on torturing yourself? Why must you endure so much pain?" He understood her; he always did.At that moment, Lizzie couldn't hold back her tears anymore. H

Bruno cast him a glance, "How's the investigation going?""Turns out, it's true. Yufenly lost quite a bit of money gambling." As soon as the conversation turned serious, Jepan straightened up. "Boss, you're incredible! How'd you guess it?”"It's not guesswork, some things are just obvious." Bruno snorted coldly. Jianmin Jiang lacked the talent to run a company. A small firm like his only stabilized after the Kolo family's investment. How could it withstand such turmoil?Jepan sat, legs casually crossed. "Boss, are you going to let Jianmin Jiang continue to climb up by relying on the Leng Corporation?" He couldn't understand why Bruno would let Jianmin Jiang leverage the name of the Leng Group, and even land quite a few projects."The higher they climb, the harder they fall. Let them have their fun!" Bruno's eyes hardened. What did it matter if he let him enjoy some temporary delight?"But boss, Lizzie is innocent. Shouldn't you treat her better?" Jepan asked while watching Bruno, but

As Lizzie stepped into the hotel, Manager Chen rushed up to her. "Lizzie.""Manager Chen, what's up?" Lizzie smiled."The boss has made arrangements. Your part-time hours are now down to two. It's still early, so why don't you head to the dining room and have dinner?" Manager Chen suggested, leading Lizzie towards the dining room.Unlike before, Lizzie usually dined with the restaurant staff in the cafeteria. But today, Manager Chen brought Lizzie to a spacious private room. "Manager Chen, what is this about?""Lizzie, I'm just following the boss's orders. From now on, you'll be having your dinner here." Manager Chen smiled.Looking around the luxurious dining room, Lizzie said, "Manager Chen, you really don't have to go through all this trouble. A simple meal in the cafeteria will do.""Lizzie, since the boss personally called and instructed, I can't just change things on a whim." As Manager Chen finished, the waitstaff brought in the prepared dishes."But I feel..." Lizzie hesitated
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 71: Can He Make Room in His Heart for Her?
Jacob glared at Bruno, "A family matter? Impossible! As long as it involves Lizzie, it's never just a family matter. I won't let Lizzie suffer the slightest insult!" His eyes were burning with rage at him."What do you want to do then?" Bruno's brows furrowed."Bruno, he's drunk, let's not pay him any mind. Let's go," Adeline said, her gaze on the intoxicated Jacob before her. She felt triumphant. As long as Jacob still loved Lizzie, as long as he kept chasing after her, let him see how much faith he had to win Lizzie back. As long as Lizzie left Bruno's side, she wouldn't have any worries.In fact, Adeline was scared. She was scared that one day, Bruno would fall in love with Lizzie. On that day, the one to stay by Bruno's side will always be Lizzie, and she would lose everything.With a casual glance, Bruno prepared to turn and leave."Stay where you are!" Jacob strode forward in two large steps, catching Bruno by the arm. His hand balled into a fist, he swung at Bruno.Bruno dodged

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
