บททั้งหมดของ You Left Me for Your Secretary, so Why Are You Begging at My Wedding?: บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

Zac kept telling himself that Liz couldn’t possibly mean it when she said she wanted to break up. But lately, her behavior had been so unusual that he couldn’t shake the feeling she might slip away from him at any moment.The more he thought about it, the darker his expression became.When Xena walked in, she found him staring blankly at the file in front of him. She bit her lip, her expression conflicted. Ever since he and Liz had split, she had noticed how often he seemed lost in thought like this.On paper, she should have been happy. In front of friends and colleagues, Zac had more or less acknowledged their relationship. But instead of feeling secure, she only felt more on edge.She could tell that he was no longer as passionate toward her as he once had been. And whenever Liz was around, his eyes always found her. It was something Xena could not stand.She didn’t just want to be with him. She wanted to be the only woman he looked at.“Mr. Lincoln, these are the documents yo

Liz was caught off guard by Zac’s sudden appearance. She instinctively stepped back, her foot slipping so that she almost lost her balance.A strong hand steadied her at the waist, followed by William’s gentle voice. “Are you okay?”Liz looked at him gratefully. “I’m fine. Thank you.”William withdrew his hand with a composed expression. “It’s nothing.”Nearby, Zac watched their brief interaction, and anger surged in his chest like a wildfire, growing hotter by the second. He reached out to pull Liz aside, but before he could touch her, William stepped in and blocked him.“Mr. Lincoln, please keep your hands off her.”Zac’s hand was pushed away, and his fury deepened. Without even glancing at William, he fixed his glare squarely on Liz.First it had been Ethan Xander. Now there was another man. How long would it be before there was yet another? Was she deliberately trying to provoke him?“Come here!” His cold voice and rigid jaw made it clear just how angry he was.Liz, howeve

Zac’s expression darkened as he turned toward Liz and William, who were standing a short distance away.At that moment, Liz was looking up at William with warmth in her eyes, a look she had never once given Zac in all their years together.“Fine. I’ll apologize to him,” Zac said flatly.He knew William had set him up today, and he was willing to take the loss. But whether this man could handle the way he apologized was another matter entirely.Zac walked over to them and stopped right in front of the pair. His voice was cold. “Liz, I’ll apologize to him.”Liz gave him an impatient glance. “Then hurry up. I have other things to do.”A sharp flare of anger rose in Zac’s chest, but he forced it down.“Mr. Sanders,” he said, looking directly at William, “I was out of line just now. I hope you can forgive me.”William’s eyes flickered with the faintest trace of mockery. “Mr. Lincoln, it’s fine. Just try not to lose your temper like that again.”He then turned to Liz. “Now that Mr.

“Voyager Tech is about to release a new chip designed specifically for autonomous driving. If Smith Corporation buys the chips from us, I can sell them to you at half the market price,” Zac said.A flicker of surprise crossed Michael’s eyes, but he didn’t look particularly tempted. He knew Zac would never offer such a deal out of generosity. There had to be something in it for him.“What’s your motive?” Michael asked.Zac smiled faintly. “It’s simple. I want to marry Liz. And for that, I want her reinstated in the Smith family so she can marry me as the Smith family heiress.”Michael’s face darkened, though he remained silent.When Liz had severed ties with the Smiths, he had sworn never to acknowledge her again. Later, when Zac’s business began to thrive, Mrs. Smith had thought about reaching out to Liz, but Michael had stopped her. In his mind, it was the child’s duty to apologize to the parents, never the other way around.He looked at Zac coldly. “If I remember correctly, Mr.

Liz turned to him. “No, not really. I was just worried I might be taking up your time. I remember you’re a surgeon. Aren’t you sometimes tied up with surgeries? I’m surprised you can always make it here right on time.”“I don’t have any surgeries scheduled right now. Things will probably get busy again next month.”Liz nodded and let the matter drop.The rest of the drive passed in silence. When they reached her building, she stepped out of the car and waved. “Goodbye, Mr. Sanders.”“Goodbye.”She watched his car disappear before turning toward her building.Once inside, she made a quick bowl of pasta, washed the dishes, and had just settled onto the couch when her phone rang. It was Jane.“Liz, I’ve got good news!” Jane’s voice brimmed with excitement, and Liz could easily picture her friend’s animated expression.“What good news?”“It’s about Zac. Guess what?”Liz’s eyes narrowed slightly in surprise. “What could possibly be good news about him?”“I heard he got beaten up
