All Chapters of You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Liz’s brows knit together, but before she could respond, Hunter stepped forward and pulled Shannon to her feet.When she tried to sink back down, his voice turned cold. “If you kneel again, I’ll call security and have you both removed.”Back when Zac had gone after Liz and the internet was flooded with malicious posts accusing her of overcharging clients, Shannon hadn’t stood by her. She had twisted the knife, switching lawyers halfway through.Now that TH Law was tossing her case around like a hot potato and ignoring her altogether, she had come crawling back, even resorting to dropping to her knees, hoping guilt would push Liz into helping. Hunter found it revolting.Shannon froze mid-motion, shame and desperation flickering in her tear-reddened eyes. She turned toward Liz. “Ms. Smith, I know what I did before was awful. I wronged you. Please, forgive me.”Liz’s gaze shifted to the small girl clinging to Shannon’s clothes. Her shoulders were hunched, her face pale, her eyes dart

Chase froze for a second before quickly nodding. “Understood, Mr. Lincoln.”That evening, Liz was gathering her files and getting ready to leave when a message from William popped up on her phone.“What do you want for dinner tonight?”She was about to reply when Hunter knocked and walked in. “Liz, let me take you out for dinner tonight. I want to thank you for coming to pick me up yesterday.”The surprise flickered in her eyes before she smiled and nodded. “Sure. But it was William who did the driving. Let’s ask him to come along too.”Hunter’s face froze. He wanted to say no, but Liz caught his hesitation. “What is it? You don’t want him there?”Of course he didn’t. Who would want to share dinner with their crush while their uncle sat there like an unshakable third wheel? He wanted to pick a fight but didn’t have the nerve. The resentment burned inside him, and all he could do was swallow it down.“It’s not that,” Hunter muttered. “I was thinking of going over some work matt

“It sounds like you want to go back to Halston,” William said flatly.Hunter shrugged indifferently. “If I go back, Uncle William, I’ll be having dinner with Grandma and Grandpa every night. And if I just happen to say something I shouldn’t, well… I’m sure you’d understand.”William’s gaze turned glacial, his whole presence radiating cold. “Looks like you’ve learned a thing or two while I’ve been away. You even know how to make threats now.”On any other day, Hunter would already be trembling under that look. But tonight, they weren’t just uncle and nephew. They were rivals. If he showed weakness now, how would he ever compete with William later?So he held William’s stare, lips curving into a faint smile. “I learned from the best, Uncle William.”William’s eyes narrowed. “Then let me teach you something else. When there’s no hope, it’s better to give up early. Otherwise, you’re only setting yourself up to get hurt.”“In your eyes, I don’t have a chance. But in mine, you’re the o

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

“Yeah, a guy like that isn’t worth holding on to anyway. Let’s go,” Jane said.Meanwhile, after carrying Xena to the car, Zac set her down and stood outside with a cold expression. “I still have work at the office. The driver will take you to the hospital.” He reached to close the door.Xena’s face changed. She grabbed his sleeve quickly. “Zac, you’re not coming with me? What if something happens to the baby—”“I’m not a doctor,” he cut her off, his patience already fraying. “And one more thing. Stay out of Liz’s way. Don’t show up in front of her again.”“What?” Xena stared at him in disbelief. “You’re not even asking what happened today, whether I was bullied or not? All you have to say is that I should avoid Liz?”They were about to get married. How could he take Liz’s side now?“Do I even need to ask?” His tone was like ice. “With Liz’s personality, she wouldn’t spare you a glance if you hadn’t gone looking for trouble yourself.”“So you’re saying this is all my fault?”His
