Chapter 322

Penulis: Hello Spring
Liz lowered her eyes and typed out a reply.

“I ran into your mom at the restaurant today. She said you were flying back to Stanley City tonight.”

A moment later, her phone lit up with an incoming call from Hunter.

She answered, and his voice came through right away. “Liz, I thought you’d never met my mom. How could you have run into her?”

“That’s not important,” Liz said calmly. “What matters is why you came to Halston without telling me. Were you here the entire time I was?”

There was a pause before Hunter finally spoke, his voice lower than before. “It was Uncle William. He asked me to come. He was worried you didn’t know the city well and might get taken advantage of.”

Liz’s eyes widened in surprise. She had not expected that. So it had been William who asked him to come.

“I see. Well, thank you for looking out for me these past couple of days. You must have just landed. Get some rest. I won’t keep you up.”

When the call ended, Liz considered phoning William directly, but wh

    Not just Michael, the entire Smith family were fools. They always managed to bring up the worst things at the worst time.Forcing a smile, Riley turned to Michael. “Mr. Smith, perhaps there has been some misunderstanding. The delay in our cooperation was simply because a few details still needed to be worked out, so Henderson Corporation decided to postpone. As for me and Ms. Smith, we have always gotten along very well. I do not know who started the rumor that she offended me.”Michael frowned, about to reply, when Mandy subtly tugged at his sleeve.Catching her meaning, Michael quickly plastered on a smile. “So that is how it was. Ms. Henderson, then about Henderson Corporation’s cooperation with Smith Corporation…”Riley’s expression did not change. “I am here today to visit a friend. I do not want to talk business. We can discuss that tomorrow.”Michael, however, was not willing to let such an opportunity slip by. It had been so difficult to get Riley to ease her stance. If he

    Mandy almost burst out laughing. She had not expected Liz to be this foolish, lying without even trying to make it sound convincing.Being able to work with a Henderson branch was already reaching above their station, yet Liz was delusional enough to think the Henderson headquarters would ever partner with the Smiths.“Liz, if you are going to lie, at least do not joke about something like this. Henderson Corporation’s head office only works with Fortune 500 companies or publicly listed corporations. How could they possibly cooperate with Smith Corporation?“And even if you really did sign with them, there should at least be a contract. Without one, how are we supposed to believe you?”Mandy was certain Liz was making it all up. She herself had tried reaching out to Henderson Corporation’s head office before, but she had not even been able to meet with a client manager. That was why she had settled for going through Riley.Liz’s lips curved into a faint smile. “There is a contract

    Chase was sorting through some files when Liz’s message came in. He froze as he read it.“Xena ruined Liz’s clothes? Did the two of them get into a fight?” he thought in disbelief. That sounded like more than just an accident.After a moment’s hesitation, Chase picked up the phone and called Zac.“Mr. Lincoln, Ms. Smith just sent me a few receipts. She said Ms. Spencer dirtied her clothes and asked you for compensation. About this…”Zac’s voice sounded weary. “It’s true. Contact finance and have them transfer the money to her. Use my personal account.”“Alright.”As soon as he hung up, Chase called finance. Once the money was sent, he texted Liz.“Ms. Smith, the compensation has been transferred to your bank account. Please check if you’ve received it.”Liz opened the message and saw a bank notification.“Got it, thank you.”“Don’t mention it,” Chase replied.Liz didn’t respond again. She put her phone away, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest.By noon, th

    “Watch out!”At the last second, Zac stepped in front of Liz.The scalding soup splashed across his suit, soaking through the fabric and burning his skin. A sharp pain shot up his arm, and his brow furrowed immediately.Seeing him take the hit, Xena’s expression shifted to panic. Fear flickered in her eyes as she instinctively let go of Liz’s arm. “Zac, are you okay?”She reached out to pull up his sleeve to check for burns, but the moment her fingers brushed his arm, he jerked away.Her hand froze in midair, her face full of disbelief.Zac did not even glance at her. His eyes turned to Liz instead. “Did any of it hit you?”Liz glanced down at her clothes, her expression unreadable. “Some oil and food splattered on my clothes and shoes. I’ll send the receipts to your assistant. You can cover the cost.”Something in Zac’s eyes darkened, but he nodded. “Alright.”Xena’s face twisted with anger. “Are you blind? He got burned protecting you, and you’re asking him for money?”Liz

    When Liz heard the words “Stanley City,” her lips pressed together. She was almost certain they were talking about Hunter. Which meant the elegant woman sitting across from her was really his mother.Karen chuckled. “Kids grow up and leave home. If he were around every day, you’d probably be complaining he was always in your way.”The woman across from her laughed. “That’s true. My son just came home for break, and the moment I saw him, everything he did irritated me. But when he’s gone, I miss him. I guess that’s what they mean by absence makes the heart grow fonder.”The rest of the night, Liz’s thoughts kept drifting. “Is Hunter really back in Halston?” she wondered. Her focus slipped, and she let several winning hands go. Joanne, on the other hand, only grew sharper as the game went on, sweeping up pot after pot.“Joanne, your luck tonight is unbelievable. You’ve taken the last few hands,” someone remarked.Joanne smiled. “I’m on a roll. Once we wrap up, I’ll treat everyone
