"You're here to watch this, aren't you?" It surprised Bruno that she was still standing there, holding several magazines that featured him on their covers.Lizzie spun around swiftly upon hearing his voice. She thought she might have been hallucinating, but when she saw Bruno, all the books in her hands dropped to the floor."You, how are you…" Lizzie took a step back, her face full of astonishment.Bruno bent down to pick up the books she had dropped. "If you want to read them, buy them and do it at home. Have you not tired yourself out standing here all morning?"Seeing her standing there reading his interviews filled him with a sudden joy."I'm going now," Lizzie fled from the bookstore without collecting her books.However, Bruno bought all of her books and then left the store.As Lizzie rushed out, she bumped into someone coming from the other direction. "I'm sorry.""Why don't you look where you're going?!" The sharp voice of Song Mei Qiong didn't match her expensive attire."Au
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 155: I Believe
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
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 156：Isn't It Good to be the President's Wife?
Jacob was taken aback. Was Bruno truly aiming to sever his ties with Lizzie completely? Impossible. "I haven't forgotten," Jacob calmly replied."Well, that's good. If you had forgotten, I would remind you. I don't want you contacting my wife," Bruno spoke into the phone."Bruno, if you can truly make her happy, I would have no contact with Lizzie whatsoever. But if you mistreat her in any way, I will take her away. Surely,” Despite the pain in his heart, Jacob's greatest wish was for Lizzie's happiness. He once couldn't provide it, and now, when he wanted to, Lizzie didn't need it, right?Bruno chuckled coldly, "Well then, you just watch. However, if you're willing to take my cast-offs, when the day comes that I no longer want her, you can take her away."That day would come because the marriage was doomed for a tragic end from the start.Listening to Bruno's words, Jacob realized that in Bruno's eyes, Lizzie was worthless. He would take her when he wanted and discard her when he was
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 157: Lunch with Love
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
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 158: Matters of Matrimony
Adeline stepped out of her office, resting against the doorframe, as laughter poured from within. Her anger deepened - she had underestimated Emily.She returned to her office and sat at her desk, her gaze landing on the uneaten lunch on the nearby table. Holding back the tears welling in her eyes, Adeline pondered about her predicament. Why could she never win over Bruno? Why was she always met with opposition from Yelun, while Lizzie seemed to have everything fall into her lap? And now, Emily was adding to her hurdles. Adeline was not one to back down easily, especially not when Bruno still harbored feelings for her. What did she have to fear?Suddenly, the office door was pushed open. Emily stood in the doorway, her gaze falling on Adeline who sat alone, her lunch untouched."Adeline, isn't it boring to eat alone?" Emily asked, arms crossed."What brings you here?" Adeline retorted, irritated by Emily's mockery.Emily sauntered over to the couch, settling herself comfortably. "I go
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 159: Descending, Even if It's Irreversible
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
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 160: Is It Reluctance to Marry, Or Another in Her Heart?
The two held each other tight, minutes passed before Lizzie finally pulled away from Bruno's embrace, "How did you come here?""I came to pick you up." Bruno gently wiped away the tears on her face. His deep eyes were full of love for her.Lizzie's eyes dimmed at his words, "But...""Know, let's have dinner and then we'll go home together." Bruno spoke as if he could see into her heart.Tonight's dinner was particularly lively. Everyone gathered around the table with Jiang Jianmin being the happiest of all, his mouth never stopping.Bruno kept serving Lizzie food, "Eat more.""Mmm." Lizzie nodded. She didn't know what the future held, but whatever was happening now, she decided to accept it wholeheartedly."Auntie, eat more, this is your favorite steamed bass." Ruoya also served Song MeiQing with enthusiasm.Song MeiQing smiled and said, "Ah, with a daughter-in-law like Ruoya, I should really feel blessed.""Mom, what are you saying?" Jacob was taken aback by Song MeiQing's words."Wh
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 161: I Love Hearing Your Honesty
"I take pleasure in your honesty. Though your feigned strength was endearing, I much prefer your truth," Bruno confessed, leaning in to plant a tender kiss on her forehead."Let's go home." Bruno reached for the coat nearby, helping Lizzie slip it on. He draped his own overcoat over her shoulders, and together they vacated the secluded villa.With Bruno behind the wheel, driving smoothly, Lizzie sat in the passenger seat. Adorned in his overcoat, a warm sense of comfort seeped into her heart.Bruno ungloved one hand to hold Lizzie's, keeping her delicate hand firmly within his grasp. Lizzie made no attempt to wriggle free, content in his hold as the soft music from the radio filled the silence. Neither of them spoke, yet the atmosphere remained harmonious.Only when they pulled into the underground garage of their apartment did Bruno let go of her hand. They stood shoulder to shoulder by the elevator, Bruno's arm encircling her tightly, never once leaving her side."Take a seat, I'll
