All Chapters of Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

"Hello, is this Lizzie? This is Adeline, the personal assistant to the CEO. Do you remember me?" Adeline's gentle voice came through the phone.Lizzie was momentarily stunned upon hearing Adeline's voice. "What do you need?""Well, the CEO just left, but I realized that I might have dropped my earring in his car. Could you please help me retrieve it?" Adeline requested."Why don't you just call him directly?" Lizzie felt a bit hesitant about this situation."Mrs. Jiang, if it's inconvenient for you, it's okay. These earrings were a gift from my boyfriend and they're very precious. But the CEO has high standards, so if they're in his car, it's fine. But if they're somewhere else, I..." Adeline hesitated, but her eyes were filled with satisfaction.Lizzie hesitated for a moment. "Alright, I can help you take a look, but I can't guarantee that I'll find them.""Thank you, Mrs. Jiang. If you do find them, please give me a call, and I'll come pick them up myself," Adeline said, her lips cu

In the tranquility of the afternoon, Lizzie sat in the music room, her slender fingers dancing across the black and white keys, orchestrating melodious tunes. She welcomed this serene life, devoid of any pressure.For the past three days, she continued to live her life, and so did Bruno. He would come back whenever he wanted - early or late was of no matter to her. Yet, she knew that he had other women in his life. The lingering scent of another woman’s perfume on him was unmistakable. He had returned only the night before, only to leave shortly after a phone call, without uttering a word. But this suited her just fine, she was content with the freedom it afforded her.As the melody came to an end, she withdrew from her thoughts and gazed at the warm afternoon sun streaming in through the window, casting a warm glow on her.She loved this place. In such an aristocratic school, no one else would bother to use the school's public piano, leaving her to enjoy its harmonious notes all alon

"Bruno, don't you ever think about seducing me when you're not interested," Bruno told Lizzie in a kingly manner before walking into the bathroom, his clothes in hand, leaving Lizzie standing by the window, her bathrobe draped over her almost non-existent figure, bathed in the moonlight, looking vulnerable, as if she would disappear at any moment.Bruno came out, dressed, his cold gaze sweeping over Lizzie's lonely figure, not a word was said as he left the apartment. The slamming of the door echoing his anger.He had left. He had finally left.Lizzie ripped the check on the bed into pieces, her body slumped onto the white shaggy carpet. Why would he think she was after his money? Why would he see her as such a woman? If he hated her, why not let her go?Tears fell as she looked at the torn pieces of the check. She wasn't this fragile! She was strong!Meanwhile, Bruno was driving aimlessly, the cold wind blowing in through the open window, but it wasn't enough to clear his head. What

Moonlight poured down, casting a hazy glow. Lizzie, drained from a day's work, stepped out of the upscale hotel. A gust of chilly wind made her slender figure shiver. Checking the time, she realized it was already past ten at night. The buses must have stopped running. Bundling up in her coat, she started to walk briskly towards her apartment.Almost half an hour later, she finally arrived at her apartment. The grand room was still shrouded in darkness. Bathed in the faint moonlight, Lizzie let her weary body sink into the soft couch. It had been several days of working part-time right after her classes until ten at night. Although she was exhausted, she felt a sense of fulfillment.Bruno seemed to have disappeared recently, not returning to the apartment. Perhaps he was too busy, or on a business trip, or perhaps he was nestled in the arms of another woman. Lizzie knew this was his apartment, but it was merely a refuge for her, not a home for either of them.Thinking about this, a sm

Ruoya left the room with a face full of smiles. "Jacob, I won't bother you any longer." She had more important things to do now; she needed to prepare the most gorgeous evening gown for tomorrow's banquet."Sure, go ahead! I'll pick you up tomorrow." Jacob said, smiling until her figure disappeared from his office.He opened his drawer and took out a long, red box. The heart-shaped necklace glimmered up at him. She had finally refused to accept the necklace, which was essentially her way of telling him she was moving on. Jacob put the necklace back in the drawer and pulled out a photo from underneath. His fingers caressed the smiling face in the photo – a picture he had taken of her a year ago. That smile had always made his heart flutter.He stared at the photo in a daze, only snapping back to reality when a knock sounded on his office door. "Come in."He temporarily put everything to do with Lizzie aside. He would have to forget about her for now. But he knew he could never truly fo
