All Chapters of You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: Chapter 421 - Chapter 430

Liz leaned against his chest and spoke softly. “I know you’re only doing this for my sake. And I understand what might happen if I push this any further.”It would only mean Mrs. Sanders Sr. turning her anger toward the Smith family. But even if that happened, Liz still wanted justice.As she thought about it, her eyes lowered, and her mind began to race.She needed to find a way to drag the Sanders family into this mess and make Mrs. Sanders Sr. wary enough not to touch the Smiths again.William’s voice came from above her. “I’ll find a way to help you.”He didn't want her or the Smith family to suffer any harm, and he didn't want her to be upset.He had never cared about inheriting the Sanders family business. But if taking control was the only way to protect the person he loved, he would find a way to do it, no matter how little it interested him.Liz shook her head. “You don’t have to. I don’t want you to turn against your family because of me.”“I told you, you’ll always b

When Michael arrived at the Smith family estate, Mrs. Smith Sr. was just about to take her afternoon nap.The moment she saw him, her expression darkened.“What are you doing here?” she asked coldly.Michael was used to her tone by now. He stepped forward quickly. “Mom, do you know Liz is planning to sue Henry Sanders?”A flicker of surprise crossed Mrs. Smith Sr.’s eyes before her brow furrowed. “Henry ordered her kidnapping. Shouldn’t she sue him?”Michael was momentarily speechless, then snapped impatiently, “If it were anyone else, fine—but Henry is part of the Sanders family in Halston! We can’t afford to offend them.“If the Sanders family decides to retaliate, the Smith Corporation won’t stand a chance. They already found out Liz intends to press charges. They’ve been contacting our business partners, forcing them to terminate their contracts. At this rate, the company will be bankrupt within a month!”When Mrs. Smith Sr. didn’t respond, Michael’s frustration grew. “Mom,

William pulled Liz into his arms, his voice low and steady. “I’m heading to Halston tomorrow. I might not be back in Stanley City for a while. Will you be alright on your own?”Liz leaned back slightly to look up at him. “Why are you going to Halston all of a sudden? Is it because of me?”“No,” William said softly. “I’m just going there to take care of some personal matters. I was actually planning to stay longer here, in case you needed my help with the lawsuit.”Liz bit her lip, hesitating before she spoke again. “Are you sure your trip to Halston has nothing to do with me suing Henry?”It was hard not to wonder. William rarely went back to Halston, and now, right when she was preparing to file charges against Henry, he suddenly had to leave. The timing felt too coincidental.Seeing the worry in her eyes, William reached out and gently ran his hand over her hair. “It really has nothing to do with you,” he said in a calm, reassuring voice. “Don’t overthink it. Just focus on what

After hanging up, Liz set her phone down and pulled over to the side of the road.She had been so determined to see Henry face legal punishment. But now, because of her decision, the Smith Corporation was under attack by the Sanders family, and Michael was preparing to resign.Even though Mrs. Smith Sr. had promised to fully support her and said she didn’t care if the company went bankrupt, Liz couldn’t bring herself to feel at peace with that. If this had been before she returned to the Smith family, she wouldn’t have hesitated.But now, she cared about Mrs. Smith Sr., and she cared about the company Mrs. Smith Sr. had spent half a lifetime building. She didn’t want to see it collapse because of her.She didn’t want to compromise. She wanted justice for herself.But in reality, she wasn’t strong enough to win against the Sanders family.All they had to do was pressure Smith Corporation’s business partners to terminate their contracts, and there was nothing she could do to stop

After a pause on the line, silence settled. William waited a moment, then said, “If you don’t want to talk about it, fine.”Hearing the low tone in his voice, Liz hurried to answer. “No, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you. But before I say anything, I have one question. You must answer me honestly.”“What’s the question?” William asked.“Is your trip to Halston this time connected to my plan to sue Henry?”William’s eyes flickered. He tightened his grip on the phone, and several seconds passed before he replied, “Yes.”When Liz finally got his answer, she gave a bitter smile. “So it really is because of me.”Before William left for Halston, she had already sensed that he was doing it for her.Hearing the quiet ache in her voice, William frowned slightly. “Lizzie, the lawsuit is part of the reason I came to Halston, but it’s only a small part.”What mattered most was that he finally understood only by inheriting the Sanders Corporation could he truly protect the people he
