All Chapters of Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

A flash of displeasure crossed Flora's heart, but she held it in, a somewhat insincere smile on her face. "Everyone is here. Let's have dinner."Bruno had never taken her seriously. He'd make such a statement in front of so many people, clearly intending to embarrass her. But she, Flora, would not easily be provoked into a direct confrontation with him."Sure." With Flora's assistance, Yelun moved towards the dining room.Exquisite dishes of various colors on the table seemed in no way inferior to a five-star hotel. Yelun sat in the main seat, looking at the four people on either side. "Emily, you just got back today. We should just eat at home. When I have time, I'll take you out for a meal. You won't blame me, will you?"Flora had been nagging at him daily, and he'd finally agreed to let Emily return home."Dad, why would I? I've been abroad for so many years, and I really miss home. Seeing these authentic Chinese dishes, I'm almost drooling." Emily laughed heartily. Returning to th

Lizzie was held tightly by Bruno, his eyes filled with endless affection, rendering her speechless, her gaze dodging his heated look.Bruno chuckled lightly. "Let's head upstairs," he said nonchalantly, steering Lizzie towards the stairs.Only after Emily and Flora watched the pair ascend the stairs, did they exchange glances. "Mom, they didn't overhear us talking, did they?" Emily was slightly unsettled."Don't worry, Emily. And you should head to bed early. You're heading to work tomorrow, and your father hasn't mentioned buying you a new car yet," Flora said, looking at her daughter with concern."No worries, mom. She gave me the car keys," Emily comforted her mother. Despite Bruno and Yelun's disapproval, Lizzie had insisted on the gesture."But she's driven that car. Surely we can afford a better, newer one," Flora said, unhappy about her daughter inheriting anything from Lizzie."Mother, that's not the point. Everything here was ours to begin with. I'm taking it back, piece by p

Upon hearing the gossip that Bruno was accompanied by a woman who was not a client to the company, Emily quickly ascended the stairs to investigate, only to be disappointed.“What did you expect?” Bruno asked without looking up."Didn't know, hence came to look." Emily took a seat next to Lizzie, "Sister-in-law," she assured, "If my brother does anything wrong to you, or wrongs you in any way, I promise to tell you. Rest easy, I will watch out for him."Lizzie turned to Emily, wondering if her enthusiasm was a bit much."I trust Bruno," Lizzie replied with a smile.At that moment, Adeline, who was delivering coffee, heard her words and trembled slightly, causing a soft clink from the china cup.To Adeline, Lizzie's faith in Bruno was laughable. How could she trust him? And if Lizzie did, what did that mean for her?How could Lizzie trust in their marriage devoid of promises?Alone in the office, Lizzie held a music textbook she just purchased from the bookstore. She had only read two

Since that day, Lizzie had stepped into Jepan's shoes, or so she said. Her daily routine mostly involved accompanying Bruno, tidying up his desk, brewing his coffee. Beyond those, she did little else. When Bruno had nothing for her to do, he allowed her to laze about in his apartment.Emily used to drop by once or twice a day, but she had never expected Bruno to keep Lizzie by his side every single day. It was beyond her wildest guess.Adeline and Bruno were sitting face to face, with a large office desk between them. Adeline had hold of Bruno's hand. "Bruno," she said, "I thought you didn't need me anymore, seeing how you're with Lizzie all the time.""Nonsense. You've been quite busy yourself lately. Once you get some time off, you should rest and stop overthinking," Bruno looked at her and said indifferently.This year he hadn't given Jepan much time off. He fully agreed with that. It was only when he chanced upon Lizzie that the idea struck him, to use Jepan's vacation to draw Liz

Sophia Song agreed too, this was the purpose of her return to the country. She needed to settle her son's marriage as soon as possible, so she wouldn't need to worry.Lizzie seemed like an outsider. Even though she was sitting among them, she hardly spoke a word, and they had no intention of talking to her either.Lizzie watched as Ruoya leaned intimately against Sophia, and a permanent smile was etched on Yufenly's face. Lizzie felt a sharp pain in her heart. She realized she had never been a priority to them. She was brought back home to face this reality. She couldn't hold onto any lingering feelings for Jacob anymore. Even if there was love, it disappeared at this moment. Sophia preferred Ruoya as her daughter-in-law. How ironic that Lizzie, from the same family, was deemed unworthy, while Ruoya was considered a match.For the entire afternoon, Lizzie merely listened to their chatter, until Jacob arrived at the villa."Jacob, you're here," Ruoya sprinted towards him and flung hers
