Semua Bab You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: Bab 251 - Bab 260

Michael and Mandy fell silent.Mrs. Smith Sr. looked at Michael impatiently. “Do you have anything else?”Suppressing his anger, Michael said coldly, “Nothing else. Mandy and I will head back now.”“Fine.”Mandy lifted her head with a smile meant to please. “Grandma, I’ll come by to see you again next time.”“There’s no need. Just focus on your work. I like peace and quiet. If there’s nothing important, don’t bother coming.”Mandy’s nails dug into her palm as she lowered her gaze, coldness flashing in her eyes.Liz could move back into the Smith estate and be welcomed, but she wasn’t even allowed to stop by occasionally. Clearly, all that affection had been fake. Once they found out she wasn’t a biological granddaughter, the love was gone.If that was the case, then she couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.Schooling her expression, Mandy lifted her head and smiled. “Of course, Grandma. I’ll make sure not to disappoint you.”“I don’t expect much from you. Just behave yoursel

Mrs. Smith Sr. shot her a look. “If you really cared, you’d come back and help me run the company.”“Caring about you and managing a company are two different things. Besides, I’ve got plenty of cousins ahead of me. Even if I don’t go work at Smith Corporation, they’re still there.”Seeing that Liz wasn’t budging, Mrs. Smith Sr. huffed. “Forget it. The more I bring it up, the more upset I get.”Liz smiled faintly and wisely dropped the subject.She spent a few more days resting at the Smith estate. The chef kept rotating through chicken soup, bone broth, and every kind of “healing” recipe he could think of, until Liz felt she was about to get sick from all the so-called healthy food.“Grandma, please just have the chef make normal meals. I’ll eat whatever you’re eating. I’m almost back to normal, and if I keep eating like this, my body won’t be able to take it.”Her cheeks were rosy now, a far cry from the pale look she had when she first came back from the hospital. Mrs. Smith S

Riley quickly smoothed her expression and looked at Hunter and Liz with a pleasant smile.“Got it. Don’t just stand there, have a seat.”Hunter pulled out a chair and looked at Liz. “Here, Liz, take this seat”Riley covered her mouth with a laugh. “Hunter, I’ve never seen you so attentive with any girl before. Looks like you really do like her.”Hunter sat down next to Liz, grinning. “Don’t tease me. Oh, right—let me introduce you two.”He turned toward Liz. “This is Riley Henderson. We grew up together. She’s three years older than me.”Then he looked at Riley. “And this is Liz Smith, my boss. She’s your age.”Liz offered a polite smile. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Henderson.”“Likewise. It’s a pleasure.” Riley smiled back, but the warmth didn’t reach her eyes. If she hadn’t known William had feelings for Liz and that Hunter was openly chasing her, she wouldn’t have given Liz a second thought. After all, Riley came from one of the top families in Halston. She didn’t consider Liz

“She’s not into boys who are… small.”Hunter blinked. Was William saying Liz didn’t like younger men, or was that a jab at him below the belt?Before Hunter could speak, William turned and walked out.Riley’s face darkened. She quickly stood up to follow.“William, that girl isn’t right for you.”William stopped and looked back at her, his gaze cold. “My business isn’t yours to manage.”“You two don’t even belong to the same world. If you stay with her, the only one who’ll end up hurt is her. Wouldn’t it be better not to start at all?”The words had barely left her lips before William’s expression shifted, his stare turning dark and dangerous.“Riley, you’d better keep out of my affairs. If word of this makes it back to Halston, you’ll have to deal with the consequences yourself.”The chill in his eyes was like a blade hanging over her head, making her chest tighten.“William, don’t worry. I won’t say anything. I just want to remind you—being with Ms. Smith will only hurt h

Tim gave a cheerful smile. “Ms. Smith, if there’s any part of the terms you don’t agree with, you can raise them individually.”“None of them sit right with me,” Liz replied evenly.“This…” Tim looked over at Zac, clearly embarrassed.Zac gave him a glance. “Step outside.”Tim looked from Liz to Zac, then started to rise. But before he could leave, Liz’s voice cut coldly across the room. “Mr. Lincoln, you came here today to discuss the fact that your fiancée hired someone to have me kidnapped, which led to my accident. If your lawyer isn’t present, then there’s nothing to talk about.”She stood as if to leave.“Wait.”Zac’s voice was low. “Fine. Then let Mr. Chapman continue with you.”Liz shot him a glance before sitting back down.The negotiation dragged on for over an hour before Liz finally got the outcome she wanted.“As long as you meet these conditions, I’ll sign the letter of forgiveness. But once she has the baby, she’ll still face sentencing.”With the letter in pl
