Chapter 255

Author: Hello Spring
Liz watched Jane’s car disappear into traffic before turning toward the office building.

As she stepped out of the elevator, Hunter came hurrying out, nearly running into her. He stopped short, blinking in surprise. “Liz, what are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be resting at home for at least two weeks, maybe a month?”

“I’ve recovered enough,” she said lightly. “And I was bored at home. I thought I’d come by, maybe handle some simple tasks. Where are you rushing off to?”

“One client gave me documents with some errors. Her trial is next week, so I’m going to meet her and clear things up.”

Liz nodded. “Since I’m here, I’ll go with you.”

Hunter hesitated only a second before agreeing. “Okay.”

By the time they finished with the client, it was close to five-thirty. Hunter checked his watch and turned to her. “Liz, I have dinner plans with a friend tonight. It’s almost time to meet her. Why don’t you come with us?”

“You should go enjoy dinner with your friend. I’ll just grab

    Riley quickly smoothed her expression and looked at Hunter and Liz with a pleasant smile.“Got it. Don’t just stand there, have a seat.”Hunter pulled out a chair and looked at Liz. “Here, Liz, take this seat”Riley covered her mouth with a laugh. “Hunter, I’ve never seen you so attentive with any girl before. Looks like you really do like her.”Hunter sat down next to Liz, grinning. “Don’t tease me. Oh, right—let me introduce you two.”He turned toward Liz. “This is Riley Henderson. We grew up together. She’s three years older than me.”Then he looked at Riley. “And this is Liz Smith, my boss. She’s your age.”Liz offered a polite smile. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Henderson.”“Likewise. It’s a pleasure.” Riley smiled back, but the warmth didn’t reach her eyes. If she hadn’t known William had feelings for Liz and that Hunter was openly chasing her, she wouldn’t have given Liz a second thought. After all, Riley came from one of the top families in Halston. She didn’t consider Liz

    Mrs. Smith Sr. shot her a look. “If you really cared, you’d come back and help me run the company.”“Caring about you and managing a company are two different things. Besides, I’ve got plenty of cousins ahead of me. Even if I don’t go work at Smith Corporation, they’re still there.”Seeing that Liz wasn’t budging, Mrs. Smith Sr. huffed. “Forget it. The more I bring it up, the more upset I get.”Liz smiled faintly and wisely dropped the subject.She spent a few more days resting at the Smith estate. The chef kept rotating through chicken soup, bone broth, and every kind of “healing” recipe he could think of, until Liz felt she was about to get sick from all the so-called healthy food.“Grandma, please just have the chef make normal meals. I’ll eat whatever you’re eating. I’m almost back to normal, and if I keep eating like this, my body won’t be able to take it.”Her cheeks were rosy now, a far cry from the pale look she had when she first came back from the hospital. Mrs. Smith S

    Mandy turned to Liz, tears brimming in her eyes. “Liz, I’m sorry. I didn't know whether it would be legally binding or not. Do you have any other way I can prove that I won't covet the Smith family's money? Just tell me what to do and I'll do it. Whether it's making a solemn vow or anything else, I'm willing.”Liz arched a brow. “Are you sure?”“Yes.”“It’s simple. Legally cut ties with the Smith family. Take your name off everything—our records, the will, the inheritance documents.”The moment the words left her mouth, silence crashed over the living room.Michael’s face darkened instantly. “Liz, are you trying to drive Mandy out of the family?”Liz’s voice stayed cool. “She’s the one who said she wanted to prove she doesn’t care about the Smith fortune. If she walks away legally, that proves it better than anything. Once she’s no longer tied to the family, she has no claim to the inheritance. That would show she truly doesn’t want the money.”“Impossible! I will never allow it

    Michael and Mandy fell silent.Mrs. Smith Sr. looked at Michael impatiently. “Do you have anything else?”Suppressing his anger, Michael said coldly, “Nothing else. Mandy and I will head back now.”“Fine.”Mandy lifted her head with a smile meant to please. “Grandma, I’ll come by to see you again next time.”“There’s no need. Just focus on your work. I like peace and quiet. If there’s nothing important, don’t bother coming.”Mandy’s nails dug into her palm as she lowered her gaze, coldness flashing in her eyes.Liz could move back into the Smith estate and be welcomed, but she wasn’t even allowed to stop by occasionally. Clearly, all that affection had been fake. Once they found out she wasn’t a biological granddaughter, the love was gone.If that was the case, then she couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.Schooling her expression, Mandy lifted her head and smiled. “Of course, Grandma. I’ll make sure not to disappoint you.”“I don’t expect much from you. Just behave yoursel

    “Mom.”The sudden voice cut through the warmth of the living room.Mrs. Smith Sr.’s smile faded as she turned toward the doorway and saw Michael and Mandy standing there.“What are you two doing here?”Liz glanced once at Michael, her expression calm, then lowered her eyes back to her soup.As for Mandy trailing behind him, Liz acted as if she wasn’t even there.Michael walked in, speaking as he did. “Mandy signed a contract with the Henderson Corporation. I came to discuss letting her join the company.”Mandy followed quietly, head bowed, looking the picture of obedience.But inside, the moment she saw the gentle affection in Mrs. Smith Sr.’s eyes when she looked at Liz, jealousy clawed at her chest like thorny vines, choking the air from her lungs.Before Liz returned, that same gentle affection had belonged to her.But ever since learning that she wasn't Michael and Kimberly's biological daughter, Mrs. Smith Sr. never looked at her with the same affection.
