You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding? Chapter 274
“Alright, I got it.”After hanging up, Liz jumped out of bed, washed up, and changed. Less than twenty minutes later, she was at the door.Jane pulled up in a bright red Porsche Panamera that turned heads immediately on the street.Liz climbed in, buckled her seatbelt, and before she could say a word, Jane started the engine.“Let’s go! Today I’m going to find you a dress that stuns the whole crowd. You’ll be the star of the night!”Her over-the-top enthusiasm made Liz burst out laughing.Half an hour later, Jane parked in front of the city’s largest mall.The two of them got out, and Jane handed her keys to the valet. “Thanks.”It was only nine in the morning, but the place was already crowded. They took the elevator straight up to the eighth floor, where all the high-end designer boutiques were located.After browsing through a few stores, Jane finally spotted a dress she liked.“Excuse me, could you bring me that gown?”“Hi, I’d like to try that one. Do you have it in the

After hanging up, Liz was about to put down her phone when a bank notification popped up at the top of the screen.She froze for a few seconds, staring at the string of zeros on the screen.It took her a couple of tries counting before she believed it. Mrs. Smith Sr. had actually transferred a million dollars into her account.“For just one outfit?” she thought in shock.Her lips pressed together. Years of hard work flashed through her mind. Even after all this time, her savings had barely cleared a hundred thousand. Compared to Mrs. Smith Sr.’s effortless transfer, which Liz might never make in decades of work, it stung a little.Shaking her head, she sent a goofy “thank you, boss” GIF to Mrs. Smith Sr.Mrs. Smith Sr. replied almost instantly with a waving bunny sticker that said, “you’re welcome.”Liz laughed out loud. For an older woman, Mrs. Smith Sr. was surprisingly tech-savvy. She even knew how to send stickers.The following days were a blur of work. By Friday night, sh

“Okay, that’s good.”Liz stood up and glanced at him. “It’s getting late. I should head home.”“Alright. What do you want for breakfast tomorrow? I’ll make it for you.”She shook her head. “No need. You already work so hard. Don’t wake up early just to cook for me.”William was about to say something when Liz’s phone rang. Seeing Jane’s name on the screen, Liz looked at him. “I’ll get going. See you tomorrow.”She answered the call as she walked to the door. “Jane, what’s up?”“Liz, your parents are planning a welcome-home party for Mandy. I heard it’s going to be at the Cloud Hotel, the most luxurious place in Stanley City. Did they tell you?”Liz paused mid-step, her gaze lowering. “No. I guess they don’t plan to.”Even though she had returned to the Smith family, her relationship with Kimberly and Michael was still strained. They rarely included her in anything.“They already sent an invitation to our family,” Jane said. “Want me to take you with me? We can crash the party

William turned and walked into the kitchen. A moment later, he came back out with an extra set of dishes.Riley accepted them with a smile. “Thanks.”She turned to Liz, her tone casual. “So, Ms. Smith, how did you and William meet?”Liz glanced at William, then smiled politely. “I was leaving my best friend’s birthday party when I found out he’d hit my car. That’s how we met.”Surprise flickered in Riley’s eyes. She arched a brow at William. “If I remember right, you used to race, didn’t you? With your skills, how could you crash into someone’s car? Don’t tell me you did it on purpose just to strike up a conversation with her.”William’s face stayed perfectly calm. “It was getting dark. The light was poor. I didn’t see clearly.”“Oh, I see. Pretty careless of you.” Riley shifted her gaze back to Liz. “You probably don’t know this, but William was obsessed with racing for a while. He almost had a few accidents. I went to his competitions all the time, and I was always scared to de

“Alright.”“In time.” Those words were so beautiful that the more she thought about them, the more she found herself looking forward to what they promised.Halfway through dinner, the doorbell suddenly rang.William got up and went to the entryway. The moment he opened the door, Riley’s cheerful voice floated inside.“William, your place is impossible to find! I must have taken the wrong turn half a dozen times before finally figuring it out.”Liz’s fingers tightened slightly around her fork. She remembered Riley’s easy smile the last time they had sat together in that private dining room. Now, hearing the natural warmth in her voice, Liz could sense it again. Everything about Riley spoke of familiarity and closeness.She told herself she shouldn’t care. Having female friends was perfectly normal.Besides, Hunter had already mentioned that Riley grew up with them. William was around their age too.Even so, Liz lowered her gaze and pressed down the faint ache rising in her chest

“I’ll take that.”Liz handed him the strawberries without thinking. “One of these baskets is for you. By the way, what are you doing waiting out here?”“Dinner’s ready, so I came down. I wanted to see you sooner.”At his words, Liz’s fingers tightened slightly around her purse. It felt like a jolt of electricity ran through her, spreading from her chest to every limb.She bit her lip. “From downstairs to upstairs, it’s only a minute.”“That one minute is precious to me.”They had already lost so many years. Now, every moment with her mattered.“You’re so smooth. I’m starting to wonder if you’ve been in more than a few relationships.”William lowered his gaze, his voice steady. “I’ve never been in one. And I mean what I say. I’m not just trying to flatter you.”The seriousness in his eyes made her heartbeat quicken, and her cheeks warmed. She turned away quickly, lowering her gaze. “Then I guess you’re a natural at it.”The truth was, he was exactly her type. Just meeting his
