All Chapters of You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Liz had no intention of holding on any longer. After all, everyone who needed to know already knew. Zac and Xena came out of it with nothing but shame.It was enough. She had finally let out that breath she had been holding in.She didn’t pay any more attention to the situation. Her days were consumed by catching up on the mountain of work that had piled up during her week off. She was so busy she barely had time to eat.It wasn’t until Saturday that she heard from Jane that Susan had been hospitalized.“I heard she got into a fight with the Lincoln family. The stress sent her straight to the hospital.”“Liz, honestly… not marrying Zac might’ve been a blessing in disguise. With a family like his, even if you had married in, you’d just end up suffering alongside him.”Liz sat on the balcony in a lounge chair, quietly examining her freshly manicured nails. She gave a soft “mm” in response.Zac was the illegitimate son of David Lincoln, CEO of the Lincoln Corporation. Even so, he h

Zac stared at her, his tone sharp and deliberate. “Liz, I already agreed to marry you. What more do you want? Do you really need me to cut ties with Xena completely before you'll stop all this?”But even as he said it, a thought flickered in his mind. If cutting Xena off was the only way to make Liz back down, maybe it wasn’t such an unacceptable thing to do after all.The next second, Liz’s cool, steady voice doused him like a bucket of cold water.“Whether or not you break things off with Xena is your business. I don't want to marry you anymore, and I never will.”*By the time Zac returned to the hospital room, more than ten minutes had passed.Susan glanced at him and noticed the storm brewing on his face. “Liz left?”“Yeah.”Seeing the gloomy look on his face, Susan scoffed. “You should be thrilled. She finally dumped you. So why are you sitting there like someone died?”She still hadn’t forgiven him for throwing away the chance she had given him, or for wasting the favor

The moment Liz thought about the injuries on the little girl’s body—injuries caused by the man standing in front of her—her expression turned cold as ice.She looked him straight in the eye. “What my client gave me has nothing to do with you.”Peter let out a bitter laugh and was about to respond when an angry voice suddenly came from behind Liz.“Peter! What are you doing here?”Shannon hurried over and stood beside Liz, glaring furiously at her husband.Peter’s eyes burned with rage as he stared back at her. “You seriously have the nerve to ask me that? You went behind my back and seduced my brother, then used him to spy on me. How low can you get?”Shannon’s expression froze over. Her voice was sharp and full of contempt. “Watch your mouth, Peter. If you hadn’t been beating our daughter every single day, your brother wouldn’t have stepped in. He gave me the photos because even he couldn’t watch you do it anymore. You lash out at a child because you can’t control your own tempe

“Let go of me, Zac!” Liz shouted.Zac ignored her completely and kept dragging her toward the exit.Suddenly, Ethan stepped in and blocked his path.“Mr. Lincoln, can’t you see she’s injured? And clearly, she doesn’t want to go with you,” Ethan said calmly.Zac stopped and turned to glare at him. His gaze was sharp enough to cut.Just locking eyes with him made Ethan feel like cold steel was scraping across his skin. But he stood firm. He met Zac’s gaze head-on, refusing to back down or show a hint of fear.“She’s my girlfriend. If she’s not coming with me, who is she going with? You?” Zac asked coldly.Ethan gave a faint smile. “If I’m not mistaken, news of you cheating on her with your secretary just hit the trending searches a few days ago. Didn’t your company also release a statement confirming that you and Liz had already broken up?”Zac’s expression grew even darker, and the atmosphere around him turned suffocating. “This is between me and her. It has nothing to do with y

A gentle smile lingered on Ethan’s face. “It’s fine. I had a big lunch, so I’m not that hungry.”Not far away, Zac watched them with a stormy expression. His entire presence radiated cold hostility, enough that Xena involuntarily shivered beside him.Her hand instinctively tightened around his arm as a sense of unease crept into her chest.Was it possible Zac still had feelings for Liz?“Zac, I’m starving. Should we—”Before she could finish, Zac abruptly changed direction and headed straight toward Liz and Ethan’s table, dragging her along without a word.Xena’s expression wavered. “Zac, our reservation is over there.”“The private room feels stuffy. Let’s sit outside,” he said flatly, giving her no room to object.He led her to the table right next to Liz and Ethan’s and sat down.Xena forced a smile, though it felt hard to maintain.All Liz had done was have dinner with another man, yet Zac looked at her like a husband catching his wife cheating. He probably had no idea ju
