Chapter 214

Author: Hello Spring
Chase froze for a second before quickly nodding. “Understood, Mr. Lincoln.”

That evening, Liz was gathering her files and getting ready to leave when a message from William popped up on her phone.

“What do you want for dinner tonight?”

She was about to reply when Hunter knocked and walked in. “Liz, let me take you out for dinner tonight. I want to thank you for coming to pick me up yesterday.”

The surprise flickered in her eyes before she smiled and nodded. “Sure. But it was William who did the driving. Let’s ask him to come along too.”

Hunter’s face froze. He wanted to say no, but Liz caught his hesitation. “What is it? You don’t want him there?”

Of course he didn’t. Who would want to share dinner with their crush while their uncle sat there like an unshakable third wheel?

He wanted to pick a fight but didn’t have the nerve. The resentment burned inside him, and all he could do was swallow it down.

“It’s not that,” Hunter muttered. “I was thinking of going over some work matt

    “Alright.”After William left, Mrs. Wood quickly finished packing the rest of Liz’s things.“Miss Liz, your discharge papers are ready. We can leave now.”Liz nodded. “Okay.”She changed out of her hospital gown and left with Mrs. Wood. Soon they were in the car, heading back to the family estate.An hour later, the car pulled up at the gates of the Smith estate. Liz and Mrs. Wood walked inside together.“Miss Liz,” Mrs. Wood said with a smile, “before we even left for the hospital, Madam already said she was going to make chicken soup for you herself. It should be just about ready now.”Liz frowned slightly. “Grandma’s not in great health. You should have stopped her.”Mrs. Wood shook her head. “Who could stop her? And besides, her chicken soup really is second to none. You’ll see for yourself. All the estate chefs learned their soup recipes from her. Even if theirs taste eighty percent like hers, people still rave about it.”Liz couldn’t help but laugh. “Then I’ll definitely

    Mandy’s face was full of pride. “Really. I’ll bring the contract back to the company right away. But… Dad, you know Ms. Henderson and I have a good relationship. She said she wants me to handle the follow-up work with her company.”“Don’t worry. When you get back, I’ll take you straight to the Smith estate. Once your grandmother hears you signed with Henderson Corporation, she’ll definitely agree to let you into the company!”*When William knocked and walked into the hospital room, Liz was just about to pick her book back up.The moment she saw him, her eyes lit up. She quickly closed the book and set it aside.“You’re here already?”“You’re being discharged today. I came to see if there’s anything I can help with.”Liz shook her head. “No need. Mrs. Wood already packed everything. She and the driver are coming later to take me back to the estate.”“How long are you planning to stay there?”“I don’t know. It depends on when my grandmother decides to let me leave. I’m guessing

    “Uncle William… uh, take care…”William glanced at him with a blank expression, then turned and walked toward Liz’s hospital room.Only after William disappeared from sight did Hunter curse himself for sucking up. Why did he always lose his nerve the second he met William’s cold stare, turning into a guilty little lapdog?Just as he turned to press the elevator button, his phone rang in his pocket.When he saw the number on the screen, his eyes widened in surprise. It took him several seconds before he finally picked up.“Hello?”“Hunter, I’m in Stanley City for a business trip. I’ll be here for the next couple of weeks. When do you and William have time? Let’s have dinner together.”Hunter frowned. “I’m free, but Uncle William might not be. You should ask him directly.”“Alright. Then let’s tentatively set it for Monday evening. I’ll check with William later.”“Okay.”After hanging up, Hunter slid his phone back into his pocket, pressed the elevator button, and left.*Mea

    “Zac, stop with the fake apologies. I won’t accept them, and I don’t ever want to see you again.”Zac’s face went pale. His lips parted, but not a single word came out.After a long silence, he lowered his eyes, turned, and walked out without another word.If he were Liz, he wouldn’t want to see himself either.Maybe he should never have brought Xena here to apologize.Not long after Zac left, Hunter came in.“Liz, the paperwork to press charges against Xena is ready. Take a look.”Liz accepted the file and said evenly, “She’s pregnant. Even if she’s convicted, her sentence will either be delayed until after she gives birth or commuted to probation.”And knowing Zac, no matter how much he despised Xena, he would never allow the mother of his child to serve time in prison. He would send in lawyers to negotiate a settlement instead.Hunter’s face darkened, his voice sharp as ice. “She timed this on purpose. She made sure she was pregnant before coming after you.”Liz’s expressi

    Zac turned back to her, his face blank. “Apologize.”Xena glared at Liz with eyes full of hatred, her teeth clenched. “Liz, in your dreams! I will never apologize to you in this lifetime!”“Xena!”Zac’s voice rang with fury, his stare so intense it could burn through her. “Either apologize, or I’ll have you sent straight back to the station. Your choice.”She blinked at him in disbelief, tears spilling down her cheeks. “Zac, have you forgotten who your fiancée is?”Her sobbing did nothing to soften him. It only filled him with disgust.“If it weren’t for you,” he said coldly, “my fiancée would have been her.”The words hit her like a blade to the chest. Pain surged through her until she could barely breathe. Clutching at her heart, she cried out, “How dare you say that? You were the one who pursued me first! You were the one who cared for me, who whispered sweet words, who touched me like—”“Enough.” His voice cut like ice. “I don’t want to hear another word. If you won’t apolo

    Zac’s face was filled with impatience and disgust. “Where else would we be going? You put Liz in the hospital. Don’t you think you owe her an apology?”Xena’s face drained of color. An apology to Liz? He might as well have killed her.“Zac, my stomach hurts. Can you take me home to rest? I’ll go see Ms. Smith another day to apologize.”Zac let out a cold laugh. “Now your stomach hurts? Where was that pain when you hired someone to kidnap Liz? Or when you sent someone to crash into her car? Everything that’s happening now, you brought on yourself. If you weren’t pregnant, do you really think you’d be out here free, on your way to apologize in person?”His words dripped with mockery. He clearly didn’t believe a word she said.“Zac, I know I was wrong, but I really am in pain.”“If you’re in pain, then the hospital is the perfect place for you. Let the doctor check. But if nothing shows up, I won’t let you off. So you’d better think carefully.”His piercing stare terrified her. She
