All Chapters of You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

Seeing the faint smile at his lips, as if William didn’t take his career troubles seriously at all, Liz felt a deeper pang of guilt. He was only pretending to be lighthearted so she wouldn’t blame herself.She drew in a breath and forced a teasing tone. “Who would’ve thought? You’re a doctor worth tens of millions now.”He nodded lightly. “Exactly. So you don’t have to worry about me. A doctor worth that much? Every hospital will be fighting to hire me.”Liz nodded. “That’s true. Any hospital would be lucky to have you.”Just then, the elevator arrived. They stepped inside together. A few minutes later, they parted ways at the door.Back home, Liz dropped her shopping bags by the entryway, changed shoes, and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. She sank onto the living room sofa, pulled out her phone, and hesitated. After a long pause, she dialed Zac.“Liz…” His voice carried a rush of joy, almost disbelieving. “I never thought you’d call me again…” He sounded like the man

The bowl on the table was still steaming, topped with fresh green onions and a single fried egg. It looked almost too good to touch.Back when the company was just starting out, he was out wining and dining clients nearly every night, usually drinking on an empty stomach. Liz had known he never ate properly on those nights, so she learned from Susan how to make his favorite chicken noodle soup. Whenever he came home, there was always a bowl waiting for him.That had been their happiest time. Life was exhausting, but the company was finding its footing, and they had been full of hope for the future. He had truly believed that once the company stabilized, they would finally get married.But at the crossroads, he had let her slip away.Staring at the noodles in front of him, Zac’s eyes burned red. He picked up the bowl and shoveled the noodles into his mouth in a mechanical motion. The taste was the same as before, but the woman who had once waited for him every night was gone.His v

As soon as Liz stepped into the firm, Hunter came over to her.“Liz, that old classmate of yours is here.”She blinked in confusion. “Old classmate?”“The one who asked if you were coming to the reunion at the restaurant last time.”Realization dawned. “Right. Where is he?”“In the conference room. And he brought a woman with him.”“Got it. I’ll head over.”Liz pushed open the conference room door. The two people inside looked up at the same time. Her eyes widened in surprise when she recognized the woman.“Ethan, Jessica, why did you suddenly come here? And how did you even know where to find me?”Jessica brushed away the tear stains on her cheeks. “I have a case. I want you to be my defense attorney.”From the moment Liz walked in, Ethan’s gaze never left her. It had been almost a month since he last saw her. Back at the reunion and even when he ran into her in the Maldives, she had carried a quiet sadness, weighed down and lifeless, as if happiness had been drained right o

Ethan’s eyes dimmed with disappointment, but he quickly forced a smile.“Work comes first. We can talk again when you’re free.”“Mm. I’ll excuse myself then.”After Jessica signed the contract and stepped out of the conference room, she noticed Ethan sitting slouched on a sofa nearby. She walked over.“Ethan, thank you for coming with me today. Let me buy you lunch.”He lifted his head at the sound of her footsteps, his tone calm.“No need. We’re old classmates. Since everything’s settled, let’s go.”“Alright.”At the elevator, Hunter saw them out. He turned to Jessica.“Ms. Clark, if we need any more documents I’ll reach out. Please keep your phone on.”“Of course. Thank you, Mr. Sanders.”“It’s my job.”The elevator arrived and the two stepped inside.As the doors slid shut and the car began its descent, Jessica leaned closer to Ethan.“From what I saw, Liz’s assistant definitely has feelings for her. You’d better step up. If he gets the upper hand just by being around

The Smith family was already lagging far behind the other three prominent families. In recent years, countless new businesses had risen, and if things kept going this way, they would be left in the dust.Mrs. Smith Sr. let out a cold laugh. “So that’s her trick. She thinks if Henderson Corporation insists on signing with her, I’ll cave and let her into the company for the sake of appearances?”Michael frowned. “Mom, you don’t have to think the worst of Mandy. She’s doing this for the company.”“For the company?” Mrs. Smith Sr.’s tone sharpened. “Don’t take me for a fool. If this were really about the company, Henderson Corporation wouldn’t be insisting that only she can sign the deal, and only she can handle it afterward. That’s her scheming, not their demand.”Her expression darkened. She hadn’t realized Mandy’s ambition had grown this bold. If she wormed her way into the company now, the next step would be pushing for shares.“Mom, she already had an offer lined up with Kimberly
