Lizzie propped herself up on the floor, got up, and closed the bathroom door again. She slipped off her dress and walked barefoot into the glass shower room next to it. She turned on the warm water and let it wash over her delicate skin, washing away his scent, the scent that lingered in her heart. She put on a set of pajamas and sat in front of the dressing table. She opened the drawer of the dressing table and looked at the ring that lay quietly in it. It was not that she didn't want to wear it, but this ring was not suitable for her at all. She glanced at the heart-shaped necklace next to it and took it out. "This necklace is perfect, but it doesn't belong to me anymore." She put the necklace back in the drawer and took out the ring. "The ring is not suitable, but I have to wear it now." She put the ring back on her ring finger and stared at the sparkling diamond between her fingers. But two tears fell unconsciously, dripping on the back of her hand.Bruno drove to the bar, where
Lizzie returned to her room and sat for a while, then picked up her backpack and went downstairs. "Mom, I'm going to school." Flora didn't even look at her, just grunted in response. Lizzie quickly walked out of the living room, patted her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief. She had barely taken a few steps when she ran into Yelun who had just come back from outside. "Dad, you're back." Yelun stopped and looked at Lizzie. "Yeah, Lizzie, are you going out?" "Dad, I'm going to school." Lizzie nodded slightly. Yelun turned his head and said to steward behind him, "Steward, take Missy to school." "No need, Dad, I can take the bus by myself." Lizzie refused. She used to take the bus to school by herself, and now she was not used to being picked up by a luxury car every day. Yelun made the decision, and of course no one could refuse. Steward said to Lizzie, "Missy, let me take you there!" Lizzie finally nodded and got into the car.Bruno sat in his office, reading through the document
Bruno finished some work in his office and slept in the company's exclusive lounge until dawn, then drove back to the villa.Lizzie opened her eyes when the sky brightened, feeling sore and numb all over from sleeping on the couch for a night. She looked around the cold room, he didn't come back after all.She picked up the remote from the floor and turned off the TV, then curled up on the couch again.When Bruno came in from outside, he saw Lizzie curled up on the couch, sleeping with her eyes closed. He opened the curtains, letting the sunlight into the room and brightening up the large living room.Then, Bruno walked to another single couch and sat down, lighting a cigarette and smoking it slowly.Lizzie was choked by the smoke and opened her eyes, seeing Bruno sitting on the couch. She quickly sat up and waved away the smoke in front of her, "Smoking too much is bad for your health.""You care about me." Bruno put out the cigarette butt and looked at Lizzie.Lizzie suddenly fe
Lizzie followed Yufenly into the room on the second floor. Yufenly sat down on the sofa, while Lizzie just stood by."Sit down! What are you standing for?" Yufenly said in a bad tone."Yes, mom." Lizzie sat down on the sofa next to her.Yufenly saw her sit down and spoke coldly, "Lizzie, you haven't come back for so long. Are you still blaming me and your dad for marrying you into the Kolo family?"Lizzie didn't say anything. Wasn't it too late to ask her that now?"You don't speak means you are still blaming us." Yufenly saw Lizzie not speaking and got angry. "Lizzie, don't be ungrateful. It's your fortune to marry into the Kolo family and become the young mistress. Besides, Bruno is also good to you now."Lizzie looked up, "Mom, I don't know why you always treat me like this. Wasn't Ruoya the one who was proposed by the Kolo family at first? Why was it me in the end?" She didn't understand. They were both her daughters. Why did she always feel like she was an extra person?"Lizzie,
Lizzie lowered her head, yes! He was right, if it wasn't for him marrying her, if it wasn't for the Kolo family giving money to the Jiang family, the Jiang family might have gone bankrupt long ago, even if she was forced, but, she did use him indeed."Nothing to say, then you have to listen to me. Unless you want the Jiang family to face the crisis of bankruptcy again. I think you should understand what I mean." Bruno approached her step by step, while Lizzie backed away step by step, not noticing that she had hit the edge of the flower bed by the road, her whole body fell backwards."Ah..." Lizzie lost her balance and screamed in fear. At the moment when her body was about to hit the ground, she was caught by a big hand. The next second, Lizzie was already in Bruno's arms."Lizzie, you can never escape me in this life." He said coldly in her ear.Lizzie looked up at him, could she never escape him in this life? No! There will be that day, she will leave him, leave this man's side."U
In the spacious dining room, Jianmin Jiang sat in the middle of the long dining table, with Li Yufen on his right, and Ruoya and Jacob next to her. On Jianmin Jiang's left were Bruno and Lizzie, and the table was filled with various home-cooked dishes that looked delicious."It's been a long time since we had such a lively dinner. Come on, Bruno, Jacob, don't be shy. It's your first time here, and we don't have much to offer." Jianmin Jiang looked at Bruno and Jacob, one was the president of Cold Enterprises, and the other was the young master of Lei Enterprises. They both had great influence in Huahai City. If these two could become his sons-in-law, then he would have a strong economic backing for his future career.At the table, everyone had their own thoughts. Lizzie kept her head down, feeling the burning gaze that always watched her.Bruno picked up a piece of meat and put it in front of Lizzie's bowl. "Here, have some meat."Lizzie looked up at him. "Thank you."Bruno smiled at
With a surge of speed, Bruno swerved, steering his black Cayenne into the city's apartment buildings. Lizzie gazed at the unfamiliar underground car park, "Where are we?" "Get out!" Bruno uttered, unemotionally."But..." Lizzie turned to look at him, but his austere face betrayed no emotion. Seeing her hesitate, Bruno exited the car, walked over to the passenger side, and yanked open the door. He grabbed her slender arm, pulling her out of the car with force, then strode forth."Bruno, let go, it hurts!" Lizzie's arm was gripped tightly by him, causing her eyebrows to furrow in pain. Bruno ignored her, stepping into the elevator with his hand still firm around her arm. Despite knowing her struggle was futile, she persisted, only causing herself more pain.Not until the elevator stopped at the thirtieth floor did Bruno release her, leading her into the room before abruptly letting go, sending her sprawling onto a nearby sofa. With a pained grunt, Lizzie touched her arm. "What did you b
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
