Chapter 266

Author: Hello Spring
If they couldn’t track down where Jessica’s ex-boyfriend had hidden the money, the case would be almost impossible to win.

After studying the files for several hours, Liz was about to take a break when her phone rang. Seeing Jane’s name flash across the screen, she swiped to answer.

“Jane, what’s going on?”

“Liz, I was just out shopping and saw Xena’s apology video. Honestly, it felt so good to watch.”

Liz lowered her gaze. “Mm. That was my demand.”

“She actually agreed to it?!” Jane’s voice was full of disbelief.

“Compared to going to prison, she’d probably rather apologize publicly.”

“That’s true. But just thinking about that bitch marrying Zac soon makes me sick.”

A homewrecker who had destroyed someone else’s relationship was now securing her place because of the baby she was carrying. The thought of it was infuriating.

She had also heard from Jack that Zac’s tech company had been doing extremely well over the past few years, and its market value was expected to multiply s

  • You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?   Chapter 268

    The elegant woman shot Hunter an exasperated look. “I was just about to meet her, but you ruined it. The two million dollars I had ready to give her went to waste. What a pity.”Hunter groaned. “Mom, you need to stop reading so many romance novels. If you’re that bored, get yourself a job.”“I don’t need a job. Your father takes care of me just fine. And don’t think you can stop me forever. Even if you kept me from meeting her today, I’ll find another chance. You can guard her for a while, but you can’t stay glued to her side every minute of every day.”She had come to Stanley City for one reason—to meet Liz. There was no way she would leave empty-handed.Hunter let out a helpless sigh. “Trust me, she’s not interested in me.”From the way Liz was around William, Hunter could see the truth. Whenever she looked at him, her eyes lit up with a quiet joy and intensity, the unmistakable gaze of someone drawn to the person they cared about. Sometimes, if their eyes met for too long, she

    “Do I know you?” Liz asked sharply.“Ms. Smith, our madam would like to meet you,” one of the men in black replied.Liz followed his gaze and saw a Rolls-Royce parked by the curb. Her brows knitted together.“I don’t know your madam, and I’m not going anywhere with you. If you don’t leave right now, I’ll call the police.”She pulled her phone from her bag, clearly ready to dial. But the men didn’t flinch.“Ms. Smith, you know Hunter Sanders, don’t you?”“I do. Why?”“He’s our madam’s son.”Liz fell silent.She stared at them for a few seconds before finally speaking. “And what does that have to do with me? Hunter works for my firm, but I don’t see why I’d need to meet his mother. For all I know, you’re just scammers.”“If you don’t believe us, you can call Mr. Sanders yourself.”Five minutes later, Hunter came running over, breathless. “Liz, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know my mom was here. I hope they didn’t scare you.”Liz was surprised. So it really was his mother? She had ho

    After Mrs. Smith Sr. went to bed, Liz returned to her room.She had just opened her laptop to start working when her phone suddenly rang. Seeing an unfamiliar number, she hesitated, surprise flickering in her eyes, before picking up.“Hello? Who’s this?”“Liz, it’s Zac.”Her brows tightened. “What do you want?”Catching the impatience in her tone, Zac felt a wave of bitterness. “Liz, Xena’s apology video has already been recorded. Tomorrow I’ll have it played on every screen in the city.”“You didn’t need to call just to tell me that.”“I know.”Zac gave a humorless laugh. “I just… wanted to hear your voice.”Liz’s eyes went cold. “Zac, when we were together, you cheated on me with Xena. Now you’re marrying her, and you’re still trying to bother me. Your eyes never stay on the person beside you. You don’t love me. You don’t love Xena. The only person you love is yourself.“And another thing—everything you’ve just said irritates me. Don’t call me again.”She hung up without h

    William nodded. “Yes, Mrs. Smith Sr., I do have a small request.”When Liz walked out of the kitchen with the watermelon, she found William and Mrs. Smith Sr. chatting in the living room.She set the plate down on the coffee table. “William, have some watermelon.”“Thanks.”After finishing the fruit, William stood. “Mrs. Smith Sr., it’s getting late. I should be heading out. Thank you for having me today.”Mrs. Smith Sr. Sr. smiled warmly. “Of course. You’re welcome anytime. Drop by whenever you’re free.”“Alright.”“Liz, walk Dr. Sanders out.”“Okay. Grandma, you should rest.”Liz followed William in silence until they reached the front door.Just as he was about to get into his car, she finally broke. “William, didn’t you say you’d talk to my grandma about letting me move back to Crestwood Heights? You didn’t bring it up once at dinner.”She had been counting on Mrs. Smith Sr. softening because of William. Now it felt hopeless.The corner of William’s mouth lifted. “I alr

    William’s breathing quickened before he forced himself to look away.“By the way, when are you moving back to Crestwood Heights?”Liz shook her head. “I’m not sure yet. My grandma says I need at least a month of rest, so she wants me to stay here the whole month. That way the cook can make me nourishing meals.”“So this is what it feels like to shoot yourself in the foot,” William thought.Liz had only been back at the Smith estate for a few days, and already he couldn’t stand how empty the house across from his felt. If she really stayed here for an entire month, he knew he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from coming over every day just to see her.“Too much ‘nourishment’ isn’t necessarily a good thing,” he said.Liz nodded. “That’s what I think too. Why don’t you tell my grandma? You’re a doctor. If you say so, she’ll definitely believe you.”She honestly didn’t want to keep shuttling between the estate and the firm either. The commute alone took more than two hours each day.
