Semua Bab You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Liz turned her head, and the moment she saw his face, most of her anger melted away.The man stood in a silver-gray suit, his presence commanding. Even in the dim light, his features were so perfectly sculpted they looked as though they had been shaped by a meticulous creator, flawless in every detail.His long, narrow eyes met hers, and a flicker of guilt passed through them.With a face like that, it was hard for her to stay angry.Pressing her lips together, she said, “It’s fine. So, are you going through insurance or handling it privately?”William paused before answering. “Insurance.”“All right. Have you already called your insurance company?”Since he had backed into her car, it was clearly his fault.William frowned. Normally, his chauffeur, Uncle Zeller, handled everything related to the car. He didn’t even know which company insured it.“Give me a moment.”He called Uncle Zeller and told him to get in touch with the insurance representative. After ending the call, h

“Ms. Harris, you were publicly humiliated by Mr. Stone today because of Liz Smith. Don’t you want to get back at her?”Victoria’s expression darkened. She lifted her chin, her gaze sharp with arrogance. “If I want to deal with someone, I don’t need anyone else’s help. And who exactly do you think you are to talk to me about teaming up?”Xena didn’t show the slightest hint of irritation. Her smile remained in place. “Ms. Harris, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. And I probably know Liz better than you do. I know exactly how to bring her down.”“Then why are you here talking to me? Why not go after her yourself?”“Because I don’t have your resources. There are things I can’t do on my own. That’s why I came to you.”Victoria let out a cold laugh. “So you’re admitting you’re useless? Why would I partner with someone useless?”She walked past Xena without another word. She had only taken a few steps when Xena’s voice stopped her.“What if I told you I could help you end up with Mr.

“Let’s go.”William started the car, and the two of them settled into a comfortable silence.Liz didn’t know him well and wasn’t sure what to talk about, so she stayed quiet and watched the city slip by outside the window.She wore a long, pale blue down coat, and her hair was pulled into a neat bun that revealed her smooth forehead and slender, fair neck. Her skin was so clear and delicate that anyone would have believed her if she said she was a college student in her early twenties.Out of the corner of his eye, William glanced at her, his expression openly gentle.Half an hour later, he pulled up in front of her building.Liz unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to him. “Thanks for the ride.”“See you tomorrow.”“Alright. Drive safe.”She got out and watched his car pull away. The moment she turned around, she spotted Jane standing not far off, one eyebrow raised in amusement.Surprised, Liz quickly walked over. “Jane, what are you doing here?”Jane gave her a sly smile. “Y

“Isn’t that a good thing? Becoming a billionaire heiress has always been your dream, hasn’t it?”“How could it be the same as spending my own money? My dream was for my brother to take over Stone Corporation while I stayed home living the easy life. But in college, he suddenly decided to study medicine. The day he graduated, he went straight into being a doctor. No matter how much my parents and I tried, we couldn’t talk him out of it.” Jane let out a frustrated sigh. “Just thinking about it annoys me!”Liz poured her a cup of tea. “Stop trying to make me jealous. Do you have any idea how much I envy you? You can walk straight into running your family’s company.”Unlike Jane, Liz had to spend every day racking her brain for new cases to take on. For the past two weeks, she hadn’t landed a single one. If things went on like this, she could be out of work before long.It was exhausting just thinking about it. She had wasted eight years on a relationship, only to be cheated on. And no

Liz turned to Hunter. “You don’t need to follow up on Shannon Wilson’s case anymore. She’ll be coming in the next few days to terminate the contract.”Hunter frowned, almost unable to believe what he was hearing. “She’s changing lawyers? Why?”Liz had worked tirelessly on Shannon’s case, and the first trial had already wrapped up. The second trial was just around the corner. Why would she suddenly switch lawyers now?“She found someone better. He’s very experienced and has handled a lot of divorce cases.”“I don’t care how good he is. She can’t just do something like this. It’s outrageous. You shouldn’t have agreed to it.”The thought of how hard Liz had worked for Shannon—always being on call and putting in extra effort—only for her to change lawyers at such a critical moment, made Hunter’s anger rise.“If I don’t agree, she’ll probably refuse to cooperate from here on out. There’s no point holding onto the case just for the sake of it,” Liz replied calmly.Besides, this wasn’t
