Semua Bab You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: Bab 291 - Bab 300

The message had barely gone through when Jane called her directly.“Liz, seriously? You’re already worried about William’s feelings? Sounds to me like you’ve really fallen for him.”“Don’t tease me. Just ask Jack for me later.”“I already did. He said if you really want to know, you should just ask William yourself. It’s his private business, and if he doesn’t want to talk about it, no one else should.”Liz lowered her gaze and spoke softly. “Alright. I get it. I’ll be careful from now on.”After ending the call, she let out a quiet sigh and pushed the matter aside for the moment. She went to the bathroom to wash off her makeup.What she didn’t expect was for Riley to call her the very next morning.When Liz answered, she was caught off guard. “Ms. Henderson, how did you get my number?”Riley gave a light laugh. “It wasn’t hard. I’d like to meet with you, Ms. Smith.”An hour later, Liz walked into the cafe where they had agreed to meet. Riley was already waiting.Liz sat acro

Jessica bit her lip, her eyes red as she spoke. “I went to confront him. The woman he cheated with was there, and she wouldn’t stop hurling insults at me. I lost my temper and shoved her, and he shoved me down the stairs to protect her.”Tears welled up in her eyes. “I must’ve been blind to ever fall for such a heartless bastard.”Liz let out a quiet sigh. “This case is probably going to drag on for a while. You really shouldn’t have gone to him alone like that. The difference in strength between men and women means you’ll always be at a disadvantage. Next time, if you feel you have to confront him, bring a few people with you.”Jessica nodded faintly. “I understand. But can I charge him with intentional assault? He pushed me on purpose.”“I can’t give you a definite answer yet. Did you file a report?”“I did.”“Then it depends on both sides’ statements and how the police choose to classify it. I’ll fight for you, but because you and his girlfriend shoved each other, the police m

The moment Mandy saw William again, a strange sense of familiarity washed over her. She was certain she had seen him somewhere before. As she tried to recall, a fleeting memory brushed past her mind, just out of reach.Before she could grasp it, Kimberly’s sharp voice cut in beside her.“Liz, this is exactly why you’ve turned out so rude. It’s because you spend your time with people like this!”Liz’s expression hardened instantly. Kimberly had always belittled her, and Liz had learned to live with it. But now Kimberly was dragging the people around her into it as well.“You’re right,” Liz replied with a faint smile. “I could never compare to Mandy. After all, even when you knew she wasn’t your real daughter, you still kept her by your side and raised her. That really does make you look responsible and refined, Mrs. Smith.”Kimberly’s face darkened. “Liz, don’t you use that sarcastic tone with me. If you were half as likable as Mandy, I wouldn’t despise you this much.”Liz’s lips

“No need. The subway is close. Just five stops and I’ll be there. You can head back first.”William had been hoping they might spend the rest of the afternoon together, but clearly that was only wishful thinking on his part.“Alright. Text me when you get there.”“I will.”They parted ways at the mall entrance. William didn’t turn to leave until Liz’s figure disappeared down into the subway station.When Liz arrived at the law firm, the client who had asked to see her was already waiting. To her surprise, it turned out to be Josh Ziegler, the eldest son of Mr. Ziegler Sr.Josh was about the same age as Michael. Walking over, Liz greeted him politely. “Mr. Ziegler, I didn’t expect it would be you. If I had known, I would have come to you directly instead of troubling you to come here.”Josh smiled kindly. “Ms. Smith, it’s nothing. I’m the one asking for your help. There’s no way I’d make you come to me.”After all, he was hoping Liz would represent him in his divorce. And sinc

Hearing that, Liz finally let out the breath she had been holding and nodded. “Alright.”Hunter led her to William’s hospital room. Just as they were about to push the door open, a woman’s voice drifted out from inside.“William, don’t tell me you’ve actually fallen for Liz?”A second later, William’s cold voice cut through the air. “And what does that have to do with you? Riley, I warned you before to stay away from her. If you don’t listen, I have plenty of ways to make sure you understand me.”“But your accident today was because of her! The doctor just said that if the car had been thrown a few centimeters further, you could have lost your career as a surgeon.”“That has nothing to do with you.”The words were clipped and icy, laced with irritation.“You used to say becoming a doctor was your dream. Have you forgotten that?”The room went silent. William didn’t answer.Liz’s hand froze on the doorknob. She instinctively pulled it back, her eyes filled with confusion and sh
