Semua Bab You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: Bab 51 - Bab 60

“How could she treat me like that? How dare she?” he thought, his anger boiling over.Zac clenched his fists, furious. In that moment, he made up his mind. If Liz ever came back begging for another chance, he wouldn’t make it easy for her.Beside him, Xena sat in silence, her head lowered, her expression unreadable.Neither of them spoke until the car pulled up outside her apartment building. Zac finally turned toward her. “Thanks for tonight.”Xena looked up, her face already softened into a gentle smile. “It’s nothing. I was happy to help.”“You should go on up. I’m heading back to my place tonight.”“Okay.”She reminded the driver to go slow, then stepped out of the car.Smiling faintly, she watched Zac’s car disappear down the road. But as soon as he was out of sight, her expression turned ice cold.She turned and headed inside the building, pulling out her phone. After a few rings, someone picked up.“Start the plan,” she said flatly. “It’s time.”She ended the call and

Jeff didn’t say anything else. He stood up and walked out, and the friend he brought with him followed close behind. In no time, only Rick and Zac were left in the room.Rick looked at Zac, who sat there with a cold expression, unmoving. “Zac, I ran into Liz last night at Golden Crown Hotel.”Zac’s eyes flickered slightly, but his voice remained cold. “That has nothing to do with me. You don’t need to bring it up.”“I asked her if the breakup between you two was real. Want to guess what she said?”Zac glanced at him and grabbed his phone from the table. “Whatever she said doesn’t matter to me. And you really don’t need to tell me.”Rick gave a knowing smile and said calmly, “Are you sure you don’t care, or are you just afraid to hear something you don’t want to hear?”Zac frowned, his eyes completely devoid of warmth. “This is between me and her. Stay out of it.”“I get it. I’m just saying you should be honest with yourself,” Rick replied gently. “I’ve only met Liz a few times,

Shannon’s words only fueled the woman’s anger. Her emotions exploded, spiraling completely out of control.“You bitch, Shannon! My son should’ve beaten you to death!”“If he had, he’d already be rotting in jail.”The woman screamed at the top of her lungs. “This is outrageous! Somebody come take a look at this! How could my son have ended up with such a heartless woman? She cheated on him, got him arrested, and now she’s keeping him from seeing his own child. How is this even fair?”Her voice was so loud it quickly drew a crowd of curious onlookers.Shannon, however, showed no fear. She stared her down with icy calm. “Go ahead, shout louder. Make an even bigger scene. Rip off the last shred of your son’s reputation. Let’s see if he can still keep his job once this blows up.”The woman went silent immediately.A flicker of sarcasm crossed Shannon’s face. “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you screaming now?”The woman glared at her with pure hatred. Her voice shook with rage as she spat

Liz couldn’t help but laugh at him. “You’ve only been working for a week. You’ll get used to it eventually.”Hunter let out a tired sigh and stayed quiet for a moment. Then he looked up and asked, “Liz, has your workload always been this intense?”She shook her head. “Not always. Sometimes it’s even worse. There was a time I worked past midnight every day for an entire month.”Hunter stared at her in disbelief. “Even on weekends?”She nodded. “Yes.”“You don’t get any time to yourself at all. Liz, are you such a workaholic that you’ve never even been in a relationship?”Liz froze for a second, her hand still in midair as she reached for another bite. A faint, unreadable look passed through her eyes.Before Zac had cheated on her, they used to set aside at least one day a week just to be together. Sometimes they would go for a walk. Other times, they would stay in, cook dinner, and watch a movie on the couch. It was ordinary, but warm and comforting.After Xena came into the pic

As Liz closed the door behind her, she glanced up at the room number. Sure enough, the word "East" was printed in front of it.She pressed her lips together and turned to leave.Back inside the private room, Jeff watched as Zac, his face dark and unreadable, continued downing drink after drink. He couldn’t help speaking up.“Zac, drinking that much will ruin your health. You should slow down.”Zac gave him a cold glance and said nothing. The tension radiating from him made it clear to everyone in the room that his mood had taken a serious turn.As he reached for the bottle again, a hand came down over his.“Zac, you have an important meeting at eight tomorrow morning. You can't keep drinking like this.”Xena looked at him with her usual gentle smile, as if the awkward moment earlier had never happened.Jeff narrowed his eyes, watching her closely. Now he understood how she had managed to stay by Zac’s side for three years. That kind of quiet endurance was rare.Zac didn’t reac
