Chapter 218

Penulis: Hello Spring
Back in college, whenever Jane or Jack wanted something beyond their allowance, they had to earn it themselves. Jane’s clothes and meals were no different from most students’, so hardly anyone knew she was the daughter of the Stone Corporation’s CEO.

Even now, with her father no longer limiting her finances, a good portion of her wardrobe still came from bargain racks.

After trying on a few outfits, Jane picked the ones she liked best, swiped her card, and told the staff to have them delivered directly to the Stone estate.

She and Liz were just about to leave when a slim figure stepped through the door.

Jane’s face immediately hardened when she saw who it was.

Xena.

Liz was briefly surprised, but then remembered Zac had mentioned marriage. That explained the sudden appearance.

Gone was the plain, understated woman from before. Today, Xena wore couture, her hair curled in glossy waves, several designer bags dangling from her arm. A Van Cleef & Arpels diamond watch glittered on he

    Zac’s expression was ice-cold. “She sent someone to ram Liz’s car. Liz spent two days unconscious in the hospital because of her. I’m not letting this go.”At the very least, Xena needed to spend a few days in custody to learn her lesson.Seeing how tense he was, Susan fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly. “Zac, if this had happened before you decided to marry her, I wouldn’t say a word. But now she’s your fiancée. She’s been arrested, and people are already waiting to see you humiliated.“You and Liz are over. You need to look forward. Xena is the wife you chose. If she’s made mistakes, you should face them with her, not leave her to bear it alone.”Zac didn’t reply, but the hardness in his eyes wavered slightly.Susan didn’t press further. She knew he had to come to terms with it himself. If she pushed too much, it would only backfire.“I have things to do, so I’ll go. Think about it.”Not long after she left, Zac’s phone rang. It was Chase.“Mr. Lincoln, it’s conf

    How was this any different from a confession?The moment Zac heard Liz’s name, his whole body went rigid. He turned sharply toward Xena, fury blazing in his eyes. “Liz’s accident… was that you?!”Xena shook her head in a panic. “No! It had nothing to do with me! I don’t know anything!”His gaze pinned her in place, so cold it felt like it could cut through her.“Nothing to do with you? Then why are the police here? Why would they show up with an arrest warrant?”Xena couldn’t even look at him. She only kept shaking her head.Ten minutes later, she was escorted into a police car.Zac stood there, watching as it pulled away, his face like stone.Beside him, Mrs. Cullen looked anxious. “Mr. Lincoln, Ms. Spencer is still pregnant. You should think of a way to get her released first.”Mrs. Cullen had always thought Xena was spoiled and difficult, but now she was carrying Zac’s child. Nothing could be allowed to happen to the baby.Zac’s expression didn’t change. “She hired someone

    “Get out!”Zac’s cold voice came from inside the room, filled with disgust and impatience.Xena pressed a trembling hand to her stomach, forcing her voice to steady. “Don’t be scared, baby. Your daddy’s just in a bad mood. Don’t be scared.”She turned to leave, but the housekeeper came rushing up the stairs.“Ms. Spencer, two police officers just knocked on the door. They said they need to speak with you.”“What?”Panic and disbelief flashed in Xena’s eyes. Why would the police be here for her?Could it be that her part in Liz’s kidnapping had already been exposed?Her chest tightened as she remembered the two calls from last night. After her fight with Zac, she had forgotten to return the man’s call. Maybe something had gone wrong then.Seeing the color drain from her face, the housekeeper asked nervously, “Ms. Spencer, are you alright?”“I… I’m fine. You go on down. I’ll be right there.”“Alright.”The moment the housekeeper left, Xena’s knees nearly buckled. She caught h

    Xena lifted her head, eyes full of resentment. “Zac, what’s with this attitude? Marriage was your idea. Now I’m the only one looking at everything. Tell me, are we getting married, or am I marrying myself?”Zac’s lips twisted into a cold half-smile. “Does it matter? You know exactly why I’m marrying you.”His icy indifference pierced straight through Xena’s heart, and her eyes brimmed with tears.What she wanted was to be happy with him. Not this. Not being left alone in an empty villa day after day, waiting for him to come home.“Zac, we used to be so happy together. Don’t you remember? I just… I just want things to go back to the way they were.”Back then, she had seen love in his eyes. But ever since he and Liz broke up, he had changed.Had all that love she thought she saw just been an act?“Xena, I made myself clear before. The only thing I can give you is marriage.”“But you used to love me. You brought me gifts from your business trips. You rubbed my stomach when I had c

    Liz frowned. “Grandma, it’s just a mild concussion. A few days of rest and I’ll be fine. It won’t leave any aftereffects.”“No. You have to listen to me on this. Rest properly first, then go back to work. You’ll have plenty of time for work later.”William echoed Mrs. Smith Sr. “Lizzie, do what your grandma says. Focus on resting and getting your strength back.”Liz had no words.In the end, under Mrs. Smith Sr.’s insistence, Liz had no choice but to agree to spend some time recuperating at the Smith estate.After staying with her a while longer, Mrs. Smith Sr. left with William, leaving Mrs. Wood behind to watch over Liz in the hospital.While they waited for the elevator, Mrs. Smith Sr. turned to William. “Dr. Sanders, do you like Liz?”William hadn’t expected her to be so direct. A flicker of surprise passed through his eyes before he nodded. “Yes. I like her.”Her expression grew serious. “Then you must know she had a boyfriend for eight years.”“I know. I know Zac Lincoln

    “I don’t know. Maybe the chef flunked out of cooking school.”Liz paused mid-bite and looked up at him. “That joke was painfully bad.”“I admit, humor isn’t my strength.”“That’s true. You don’t look like someone who tells jokes.”William arched a brow, intrigued. “Then what kind of person do I look like to you?”She thought for a moment. “When we first met, I actually thought you were pretty strange.”“Strange? How so?”Seeing the curiosity in his eyes, Liz smiled. “Who rear-ends someone’s car and then offers to drive them to work every day until it’s fixed? If you weren’t handsome and a friend of Jack’s, I probably would’ve thought you were a creep.”“So it seems I had him to thank for that.”“Of course.”When Liz finished eating, she started to gather up the dishes to wash them, but William stopped her.“You need rest. I’ll take care of it.”She was about to insist when her phone suddenly rang on the table.William smoothly took the bowl from her hands. “I’ll wash these
