Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 95: She Can Never Do It
Yufenly saw Ruoya sighing heavily and reached out to pat her hand. "Ruoya, trust me. Have you forgotten how I helped you and Jacob leave the country a year ago, keeping it a secret from Lizzie? A year ago it was possible, and today, a year later, Lizzie is married. She's less likely than ever to be with Jacob."Maybe it was true! Lizzie could never be with Jacob again, never ever. Ruoya whispered to herself, in her heart. In this life, she only wanted Jacob, and she would have him.Inside the black Cayenne, Lizzie sat, pulling down the suit jacket draped over her body. She placed it on her lap, her eyes focused on the outside world. The streets were empty, with few pedestrians and even fewer cars. As her thoughts drifted away, a melodious tune brought her back to attention.Lizzie turned to look at Bruno, who was still driving attentively. She moved her mouth but didn't speak, unsure of what to say.Upon arriving at the villa, the silence between the two remained unbroken. Bruno exite
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 96: The Meaning of 'I Understand'
Adeline pouted, "Yes, because I love you so much, I get jealous." Which woman could endure another woman leaning against the man she loved? How could any woman tolerate such a sight?She knew that Bruno's marriage was forced, a matter of helplessness. He had explicitly said he wouldn't touch Lizzie, and yet he wanted her, his emotions swayed by Lizzie's every gesture and expression.Bruno smiled lightly, "What do you want to do then?""If I tell you what I want, will you oblige?" Adeline asked, looking out the window."When have I ever denied your requests?" Bruno continued to dote on her as always, not bearing to see her shed a single tear.Adeline tried her best to cooperate with him, displaying the strength and intelligence he desired. She was his best support in the business world.She sighed softly, "I really want to see you." She didn't want Bruno to have too many private moments with Lizzie. A normal man always had difficulty resisting temptation, didn't he?Since Lizzie marrie

Yelun lifted his gaze to meet Flora’s. Even though her opposition wasn’t strong, he knew that she didn’t have a fondness for Lizzie. It was clear to him as he hadn’t listened to Flora and let Bruno marry her niece. Instead, Bruno chose Lizzie. This was a knot in Flora’s heart."Lizzie, go ahead!" Yelun said in front of Lizzie, not giving any other remarks to Flora.Lizzie went upstairs to grab her bag, and the steward drove her out. By the time Lizzie arrived at her destination, Louise was already waiting there."Steward, thank you for the ride." Lizzie thanked him before getting out of the car."Lizzie, you finally made it, I thought your mother-in-law wouldn't let you out!" Louise was worried she would be stood up.Lizzie laughed softly, "Yeah, I almost couldn't make it.""You always consider them too much. Actually, you have some free time on the weekends to go out. You don't always have to accompany them. This isn't like being married. You’re more like an old maid, spending every

"Is it true?" Louise looked at her incredulously. Lately, it seemed as if Lizzie was hiding something. She seemed preoccupied and Louise had attributed it to her juggling both school and part-time work. However, she was losing too much weight for comfort."Of course, it's true!" Lizzie nodded vigorously, "Don't you believe me? It's true!," she reiterated."Alright, I believe you. I do." Louise responded, shaking her head in resignation.Lizzie gave a small smile, "Lou, this dress is too big, and it's not suitable for me. I'll change out of it right now.""Wait a moment!" Louise grabbed her arm and beckoned the store manager over."Miss Lin, how may I assist you?" The manager approached quickly.Louise gestured at the dress, "Can you alter this part a bit? And this side as well. The length is spot on though."Lizzie looked at Louise as she instructed the store manager, puzzled, "Lou, I don't need to wear such an extravagant dress. Plus, it's too expensive. I have no occasion for an eve

"Is that so?" Louise tilted her head in disbelief, "Could the salary of the CEO's assistant at Leng Corporation really be that high? Affording such expenditures? That must be the corporation many students wish to work for after graduation." Her knowledge was based on occasional overhearings from the restaurant near the academy, where she witnessed the eager faces of her peers from the business school."Hannah, aren't you overthinking this?" Lizzie wasn't bothered by these thoughts since they didn't concern her."I'm not overthinking. You know it's not uncommon for companies to have their unwritten rules," said Louise with a serious tone. Lizzie didn't ponder about it much; she just wanted to prevent Louise from overthinking, lest she kept asking questions.Seeing Lizzie's indifference, Louise assumed she was overthinking. They left the shopping mall, settling in a cozy cafe, with two cups of cappuccinos before them. The fusion of Italian intense coffee and frothy milk was bittersweet,

Louise was driving Lizzie home to her villa. "Louise, thank you for taking me home.""Lizzie, listen, ever since you got married, I feel like you've been distancing yourself from me. Always thanking me for this and that. Aren't we best friends?" Louise said, shaking her head in exasperation."Alright, alright, I understand. I'll try not to act too formal around you." Lizzie responded, giving Louise a smile.Louise finally nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like it. Now, go on home. I'll be heading back.""Okay, drive safe." Lizzie waved as Louise's car faded into the distance. Afterwards, she rang the doorbell.The butler opened the door. "Miss, you're back. The young master just returned home not too long ago."Lizzie paused for a moment at the news. So he was back.In the living room, Bruno was sitting on the couch, looking as if he'd been waiting for her. Seeing him, Lizzie said, "Oh, you're back." and gave him a slight smile.She had thought he wouldn't be home that day. It was

Bruno barely glanced at Flora before turning around and walking out of the hall arm in arm with Lizzie. Flora turned her head only to see Yelun glaring at her, "Why are you looking at me like that?""Cut it out, Flora. If you say anything about outsiders in front of Bruno again, you can leave first!" Yelun turned away and sat down on the couch."What? You want me to leave?" Flora challenged Yelun, "Now that you have a son, you want to kick my daughter and me out? Without my approval, could you have brought back that illegitimate child? I've suffered so much, when have you ever been kind to me? You are a heartless man!" She accused.Yelun stared at Flora standing beside him, "Enough! What do you want that I haven't given you? We're all grown-ups, there's no need for such drama, it just makes us the laughing stock of the servants."Flora wiped away her tears and sat next to him, "Then let Victoria return to the country!" This was her ultimate goal."I told you, I'll arrange it. When it'
Love-Battle Executive: Husband of High Society Fails 102: Is this Concern or Have You Fallen in Love with Me?
Bruno lay down on the bed, tightly closed his eyes, unmoving. One could even say he had no energy left to move.Lizzie looked at Bruno, seeing him in such a fragile state, something she had never seen before. He looked so vulnerable, it broke her heart.She bent down and took off his shoes, then stood up to look at his still-worn suit jacket and shirt. He must be uncomfortable like this, right?She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take off his suit. "Bruno, Bruno, can you move a little?" But Bruno on the bed remained motionless.Lizzie had to muster all her strength to forcefully remove his suit jacket and shirt. What about his pants?He had a fever now, she had to change him into pajamas! After several seconds of hesitation, she mustered up the courage. After all, he wasn't conscious right now, and she could deny it when he woke up.Trembling hands undid the belt buckle of his trousers. Her small hands, already cold, became even colder. It took great effor
