Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 72: She Must Be in His Control
As soon as Lizzie entered the apartment, she saw Bruno sitting on the couch in the living room, legs crossed, holding a cigarette between his slender fingers. He had a relaxed demeanor. When he saw Lizzie walk in, he didn't say anything. He just coldly glanced at her.Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Lizzie turned her head and grabbed a pair of slippers from the shoe rack before walking in. "You came back early today!""You came back late, didn't you? Did you have enough time downstairs?" Bruno looked at her, noticing her pale complexion and even paler lips, but he continued to stare at her coldly."I come back whenever I want, do I need to report to you?" Lizzie glared at him, waving away the smoke from his mouth.Bruno extinguished his cigarette and stood up, walking towards her. "Seems like you're very dissatisfied with my arrangements!" He emphasized the word "very," indicating that he knew she had rejected all his arrangements and goodwill."I never needed you to arrange eve
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 73: She Desires Him
Ruoya gazed upon an enormous portrait adorning one of the living room walls. The exquisite beauty captured within the painting could rival a living person, its enchanting smile causing hearts to flutter.Jacob gently pushed Ruoya aside, his eyes firmly fixed on the picture. "Lizzie, I'm back," he said, his voice carried a tranquil air.His casual remark made her body go weak, and she supported herself against the wall, "Jacob, so this is why you've been hiding here, avoiding the villa because of my sister." Her heart shattered in that instant, aching like an open wound dripping with blood.Ignoring Ruoya's words, Jacob staggered to the couch, picked a beer can from the coffee table, popped the lid, and began to drink.Rapidly approaching, Ruoya snatched the beer can from his grasp, "Jacob, what do you intend? My sister is married. Do you find solace in drinking and staring at her picture all day? Does she care about you? Because of her, Bruno has been oppressing your company for a lon
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 74 What Does She Want Him For?
"What... what are you laughing about? I see nothing funny here!” Lizzie struggled to keep her composure.“I’m happy. Is there a problem?” Bruno retorted, a mischievous pleasure barely concealed on his face.“Suit yourself. Did you call this early just to tell me you’re happy? No need! I’d be very happy without your call.” Lizzie’s good mood was entirely ruined by him.“I just wanted to remind you that we’re dining at the villa tonight. Arrange your work accordingly.” Bruno hung up abruptly.“Hello!” Lizzie was about to say something when she realized Bruno had already ended the call. All she heard was the beeping of the line. “Such an impolite jerk!” she muttered.Though she complained, she got up from bed. Since she was going to the villa, she might as well get some gifts to take with her. She also had to inform her manager, Chen, that she couldn’t make it to work tonight.Upon entering the office, Adeline noticed the faint smile on Bruno’s face and asked, “Bruno, what’s got you so c
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 75: Does a Cold-hearted Man Deserve Her Sympathy?
Adeline watched as Lizzie walked away, a surge of anger swelling within her. Did she really not care about Bruno at all? If she didn't care, then why would she come along to the coffee shop, to listen to all these things? Could Lizzie really be that indifferent?She wondered if Lizzie had a heart at all? Or was it that she was still in love with Jacob, that's why she was so indifferent to Bruno?Adeline watched her retreating figure in bewilderment, the hand resting on the coffee cup clenched tightly, turning pale. Why did she feel like she was the loser here? She wanted to strut her childhood love story with Bruno in front of Lizzie, but why was she the one ending up angry?She leaned back into the chair, a picture of dejection.Lizzie walked out of the coffee shop, step by step, telling herself to stay calm, yet her steps grew heavier. At the corner of a street, she squatted down beside a wall. Was this a wound in his heart? Was this the reason for his cold demeanor?Why did her hea
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 76: Playing Games and Tantalizing Hearts
Bruno chuckled, "Dad, she's my special assistant. Who else should I bring to these events if not her? You're overthinking this.""Enough," Yelun stared at Bruno. "Don't treat me like an old fool. I know what you've been up to. Whatever happened between you two in the past, I was willing to let slide. But now you're married to Lizzie. You must be mindful of your actions.""I know." Bruno responded nonchalantly. He was aware that even if he did not agree, Yelun would not let it go. He also knew that Yelun's current lack of involvement in the company didn't mean he could completely let go."Don't just pay lip service! From now on, I don't want to hear or see any connection between you and Adeline!" Yelun disliked Adeline. From the moment he first saw her, he never warmed up to her. The lust in her eyes was too great. Yes, she was competent, but if she hadn't been, he would have had her out of the company long ago."Also, next week is the 80th birthday of the CEO of Lin Corporation. You s
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 77: A Laugh About It
Yelun opened the drawer of his desk, took out an old photograph, and examined it carefully. After a while, he handed the photo to Lizzie."Dad, who is this?" Lizzie asked, looking at the young woman in the photo and then back at Yelun. The woman in the photo bore a striking resemblance to Bruno."She was Bruno's biological mother," Yelun said, his gaze drifting towards the window as if lost in distant memories. "I made a mistake all those years ago, and that's how Bruno came into being. I know he's always blamed me. Blamed me for taking her even though I couldn't marry her, for ignoring her even after she gave birth, for not visiting her or the child even after she fell ill and passed away... I couldn't bring Bruno back to the Kolo family, forcing him into an orphanage. His resentment towards me, his anger... I understand it all."It had been over twenty years, but the pain was still fresh.Lizzie looked at the photo in her hand, then back up at Yelun. "Dad..."Yelun turned back to fa
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 78: For Him? Or For Herself?
"Everything you've said, I've remembered. I've dutifully played along with your scheme, accompanying you back to the villa. What else do you want? Are you expecting me to go downstairs right now and tell my father that everything between us is a lie, a deceptive trick? Want me to ask him to let me leave the Kolo family? Is that what you want?" Lizzie was furious. Was she angry at him? His sarcastic comments? His continuous misunderstandings?When did she start getting so angry for Bruno?"Are you threatening me?" Bruno saw the tears welling up in her eyes and felt an inexplicable twinge of heartache.Lizzie turned her head away, "No! I'm just telling it like it is.""Oh? So, you’re feeling wronged?" Bruno reached out and gently held her face, forcing her to look into his eyes.Lizzie tried to pull away his hand, but her small hands on his strong wrist seemed futile."I want to rest now." Lizzie neither admitted nor denied, she simply lowered her eyes, refusing to meet his gaze.Bruno
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 79: Do you know how to be a good wife?
Lizzie stepped back, her hands trembling and the cup of water she was holding spilled, wetting her hand. "Since you don't want to drink, let it be." She put down the cup carefully, not wanting to break it. The porcelain cup was expensive, and she could tell that even if she did break it, Bruno wouldn't bat an eyelid.Bruno watched her with a confused look. "Did you wait for me until dawn just to give me this ginseng tea?" He couldn't believe it."Yeah, why else would I stay up this late?" Lizzie nodded honestly, not understanding the strange look on his face."Was it worth it?" Bruno stared at her, his tone flat. He was unsure whether to think of her as foolish or crafty.Lizzie was puzzled. What did he mean by worth it or not?"Just for this cup of tea, you waited until dawn?" Bruno asked again.It seemed that he thought she had ulterior motives. Lizzie smiled wryly."It's not about being worth it. It's just following my mother-in-law's instructions. As a daughter-in-law, I have resp
