Semua Bab You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: Bab 511 - Bab 520

After hanging up, Liz looked coldly at Eric.“Impressive, Mr. Lincoln. You actually managed to make Clement turn himself in and take the blame for everything.”Eric smiled faintly. “Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Smith. Without Clement, the Smith Corporation’s situation will only get worse, don’t you think?”Liz’s tone was icy as she met his gaze. “Even if the Smith Corporation goes bankrupt, I’ll make sure the Lincoln Corporation pays for it.”With that, she turned and walked out.Eric didn’t take her words seriously. He leaned back on the sofa, his posture relaxed, a faint smirk curling on his lips.At this rate, the Smith Corporation wouldn’t last even two more weeks. He didn’t need to lift another finger. He could just sit back and wait for the company to collapse and reap the benefits afterward.Leaving Lincoln Corporation, Liz didn’t even have time to rest before heading straight to her next client meeting.By the time she finished, it was already past two in the after

“Grandma, it’s so late. Why aren’t you asleep yet?”When Liz walked in, her face looked pale and tired. Mrs. Smith Sr.’s eyes softened with concern.“Liz, I know you’ve been busy lately. I really shouldn’t have called you over this late, but I’ve been thinking about this all night, and I decided it was best to talk to you now.”Liz nodded. “Alright, Grandma. What is it?”Mrs. Smith Sr. gestured for Mrs. Wood to bring something over. “I spoke with Michael about the company’s situation. This is the property deed for Harmony Estate and the appraisal certificates for the antiques inside. If the Smith Corporation runs short on funds, sell the estate and the antiques. The money should be enough to help the company through this crisis.”Mrs. Wood brought over a box and set it on the table. Inside were stacks of official documents, including the property deed and thick folders of antique appraisals.Harmony Estate had been Mrs. Smith Sr.’s wedding property, and no matter how difficult th

Toby waved a hand. “I don’t want to hear your lectures. My position is simple. Whoever offers the lowest price gets the contract. Whether the Smith Corporation survives or not is none of my concern. If Lincoln Corporation’s price goes up later, I can always switch suppliers. This is business, Ms. Smith. You should understand that.”Liz had anticipated refusal, so she hid her disappointment and forced a polite smile. “Mr. Wilson, I understand what you mean, and I appreciate you taking the time to meet with me today,” she said as she picked up her bag and stood to leave.Just as she reached the door, his voice came from behind her.“Ms. Smith, this deal isn’t impossible to discuss. Since the Smith Corporation can’t lower its price any further, how about you spend the night with me? If you do, the contract is yours. Please me enough, and I might even send you more business in the future.”Liz’s hand tightened around the door handle. So that was what he had been waiting for. She took

Seeing that Michael wasn’t taking her words seriously, Kimberly’s eyes flickered, but she said nothing more.The next morning, after getting ready, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to visit the detention center. Even if it didn’t lead anywhere, at least it was better than sitting at home doing nothing.When Mandy saw her, her expression was cold. “Didn’t you say you’d never see me again? What are you doing here now?”Maybe it was because of the suicide attempt, but Mandy seemed calmer than before, almost detached.“Eric Lincoln has been going after the Smith Corporation,” Kimberly said quietly. “If nothing changes, the company will file for bankruptcy tomorrow morning.”Mandy didn’t look surprised. Back when she was abroad, Eric had already told her that once they got married, he planned to merge the two companies. Still, she hadn’t expected him to move so quickly. In less than three months, he had pushed the Smith Corporation to the brink of collapse.“Oh,” Mandy said

When Eric stepped out of the detention center, the sky was heavy and gray. His expression was just as dark.He had come to give Mandy one last chance, but she had disappointed him. They had been together for five years. He had gone up against the Smith Corporation for her sake, and now she wanted to turn on him. The thought left a bitter taste in his mouth.Still, she was a small problem, nothing he couldn’t handle. If she wouldn’t listen, there was only one solution.He glanced at his assistant in the passenger seat, his voice even. “Make sure it’s handled cleanly. No loose ends.”“Yes, sir,” the assistant said quickly, bowing his head. Mandy and Eric had been together for years. Even a dog would have earned some affection after that much time. Yet Eric could be so cold. Just because she betrayed him, he was ready to have her taken out.The thought made his assistant uneasy. If one day he ever did something to cross Eric, what would happen to him?A chill ran down his spine. H
