"I'm fine." Lizzie shook her head, smiling faintly, "It's just a stained dress, I'll clean it in the restroom."Bruno watched as Lizzie hastily retreated, with Lin Hao following closely behind. It wasn't until they had both disappeared down the corridor that he finally shifted his gaze.Lin Zhanpeng smiled warmly, "Indeed! I have a lovely granddaughter, and perhaps soon, I will have a beautiful granddaughter-in-law."Upon hearing the second half of this statement, Bruno understood without needing to think, Lin Zhanpeng was referring to Lizzie. She certainly had her ways, winning over the entire Lin family. Even if she were to leave him, she could survive in this world by various means. However, he had already determined to keep her captive by his side, to be his woman only. At least for now, he hadn't tired of her, he had no intentions of letting her go."That would indeed be delightful, should that day come, I will certainly present a grand congratulatory gift." Bruno's face maintain

Lizzie smiled and waved at her, then followed Lin Hao to the black Mercedes van parked in the garage. Lin Hao gallantly opened the passenger door for Lizzie, shielding her head from the upper edge of the car door until she was seated. Then, he walked around the car and sat in the driver’s seat, started the engine and slowly drove out of the villa.Lin Hao did not accelerate much, just slowly drove. Lizzie was looking out of the window when Lin Hao softly called her, “Lizzie."She turned her head and looked at him, "Hmm.""What is it? Anything bothering you?" Lin Hao broke the silence, seeing her remain quiet."No, nothing. I just don't know what to say," Lizzie gave a faint, gentle smile.Lin Hao slightly turned his head and glanced at Lizzie but said nothing more. The car resumed its tranquillity until they reached the apartment building."Thank you for the ride, Lin," Lizzie smiled and thanked him."Lizzie," Lin Hao called out to her who was about to open the door and exit the car.

Suddenly, a suit jacket was draped over her shoulders. Lizzie turned to look at Bruno, who had taken off his own jacket to cover her. What was he playing at? One moment he was cold and sarcastic, and now he was draping his jacket over her.Her lips moved wordlessly as she saw Bruno’s impassive face. The thank you she wanted to voice remained unspoken, knowing he wouldn’t care, always following his own whims.The elevator halted, Lizzie glanced at Bruno, who didn’t move. She had to sidestep away from him, but was abruptly pulled back, the jacket falling to the ground.“What are you doing!” Lizzie’s hand was gripped tight, her back flush against the cold elevator wall.Bruno’s lips met hers unceremoniously, and Lizzie, caught in his embrace, couldn’t escape.“Hmm…” Lizzie struggled, turning her face away from his advancing lips. “Are you crazy?” This was an elevator; people could walk in at any moment.“Aren’t you trying to charm other men? Don’t you have the courage for that?” Bruno pu
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 116: The Past That Can Never Be Erased
Bruno raised an eyebrow, "Grandfather? You call him so endearingly. Don’t forget, Lin Zhanpeng is not your real grandfather, he's Lin Hao's real one. Lin Zhanpeng treats you well and keeps you by his side, his intentions are clear. Don’t you know?”“I didn’t mean it that way.” Lizzie denied. It wasn’t surprising to her that he saw through all this. He always had a way of seeing things clearly from an outsider's perspective."Lizzie, can you think before you lie? Haven't you thought about leaving me for the gentle and considerate Lin Hao?" Bruno unexpectedly felt fear, a fear that Lizzie might disregard everything to leave him.Deep down, he knew Lizzie wouldn’t do such a thing. She wouldn’t abandon the Jiang family, Yelun, or Jacob to leave him. However, Jacob was a lingering thorn in his heart, a constant reminder of a past that could never be erased.Was Jacob always the one in Lizzie's heart, while he was the one who could never get in? The thought startled him. Was he now yearning
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 117: No Room in His Heart for Anyone Else
Jacob and Ruoya sat on a bench beside the river, each holding a can of beer. "Jacob, are you thinking about your sister again?" Ruoya turned towards him, a question in her eyes.He gazed at the river, the flashing lights of the city reflected shimmering off the water. He turned to look at her. "Can I still think about her?" He couldn't, he knew that. He had hurt her too much, he had no right to her anymore. When he left her a year ago, he lost her.Jacob, you know, she's married now. No matter what, she's someone else's wife. She's not yours anymore," Ruoya told him, stating the harsh reality. But could Jacob stop his mind from wandering to Lizzie? For an entire year, she was the closest person to him, but she never felt a hint of his affection."I know she can't be mine anymore, but I can't help it," Jacob finished his beer in one gulp, throwing the empty can onto the concrete floor, creating a resounding clank. He had thought that by not seeing her, he could stop the pain, but it wa
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 118: Who's to Blame? Lizzie!
Dragging her long, formal gown, Ruoya walked alone on the street as cars whizzed past her. "Lizzie, I absolutely despise you. How could you do this? Why must you monopolize Jacob's heart? You're nothing but a heartless flirt! I'll curse you, curse you to never find happiness." Ruoya muttered under her breath as she walked, blaming Lizzie for all her miseries.She held Lizzie accountable for all that went wrong. If not for Lizzie, everything would've been smooth sailing. If Lizzie didn't exist, Jacob would've loved her and only her. But because of Lizzie, everything spiraled out of control.On such a night, Jacob left her to go home alone. Was he really going to let her walk back by herself?For a man whose heart was dedicated to Lizzie, should she continue to love him? Should she still love him? Once her love reached such depths, could she ever reel it back?Suddenly, the ring of her cell phone broke her thoughts. She pulled it out from her purse, noticing her mother's number, she pic
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 119: Turns Out, She Barely Knew Him
Whether Lizzie was the unknown wife of the CEO of the Cold Corporation was irrelevant. As long as Lizzie remained in the Kolo household and the Jiang family business stayed intact, her identity didn't matter.Her relationship with Bruno, good or bad, as long as it didn’t affect the Jiang Corporation, Jianmin Jiang wouldn't care either.Yufenly walked over to Ruoya and said, “Alright, my girl, don’t be upset anymore. Let mom take you upstairs to rest. You have been so busy with the party tonight, and you were out in the cold for so long. Rest a bit.”As Yufenly and Ruoya ascended the stairs, Yufenly comforted her, “Ruoya, darling, don’t worry about Jacob. As long as I’m here, Lizzie won't get anywhere near him.”“Mmm,” Ruoya nodded, “I’m really tired!” She sat on the couch, “I wonder if Jacob has come home yet?”Upon seeing her daughter picking up her phone, Yufenly immediately went to her side and snatched it. “Ruoya, what are you doing? Calling Jacob?”“Yes! I want to check if he's m
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 120: Provocation
Walking out of the kitchen, Lizzie saw Bruno sitting still, yet to touch his food. "What's the matter, don't you like the food?" she asked."What is this you've cooked? The eggs are overcooked, the ham is undercooked, and the lettuce ain't fresh," Bruno complained as he poked at his plate."I didn't know what you wanted!" Lizzie stood by, watching him nitpick at her carefully prepared breakfast."Make it again!" Bruno dropped his fork, leaning back in his chair and fixed his sharp gaze on her."Sorry, no more eggs and no fresh lettuce. If you don't like salty, try some jam," Lizzie responded, knowing he was intentionally being difficult.She knew her eggs were perfectly soft-boiled, the lettuce was crisp, and the ham was well-cooked. She had worked in a restaurant before and had learned some skills, but she was always too busy to usually cook herself. It seemed no matter how well she cooked, he would find something to complain about."I want coffee," Bruno glared at her.Without a wor
