Chapter 703

“Got it. Has Lila been busy lately?” Declan asked.

“Of course! She made a special trip back for your birthday,” Elizabeth said.

“How do I remember that she was on break and just happened to be here?” Declan mused.

“Dad, as long as you know that,” Elizabeth added.

The Opulent Crest Jewelry Exhibition. Magnolia was being interviewed by the media, and today's event was particularly grand, even more shocking than Ivan's jewelry exhibition. Elizabeth wore a black dress with a fur coat, and a pair of high heels, looking elegant and commanding. After all, she was here today under Lila’s name and couldn’t bring shame to her.

Lila had said that if she saw any good jewelry, she could take pictures and show some support for Opulent Crest Jewelry. Industry insiders said that Opulent Crest Jewelry was developing rapidly. Leaving a good impression on Magnolia now would make it easier if she needed jewelry in the future.

“Elizabeth is here!” There was a sign-in area at the venue, and the reporters got excited when they saw her.

“Haven’t seen Elizabeth in a while, and she looks even more beautiful!”

“Absolutely, she has been doing better and better since her divorce. On the other hand, Mr. Tudor seems a bit down and out.”

Elizabeth listened to their comments and gave them a slight smile. She took the pen at the sign-in area and signed her own name, though she was holding the invitation Lila had given her.

When the media interviewed Elizabeth, she directly said, “Lila is not in Lisbon, so I’m here on her behalf.”

Blair, who had entered the venue earlier, heard this and was surprised that Elizabeth had come. Just a few days ago, when they talked about Opulent Crest Jewelry, Elizabeth had seemed indifferent. Who would have thought she also had an invitation, which was incredibly hard to get?

Elizabeth felt someone staring at her, and it turned out it was Blair, who looked stunning today, clearly a well-cared-for socialite. At that moment, someone walked over to Blair. Elizabeth immediately recognized it was Sheldon. Sheldon took care of Blair, bringing her to every event.

“Elizabeth, can we talk about your recent relationship issues?” a reporter asked.

Elizabeth looked up and immediately said, “No comment on privacy. I’m here today to attend the jewelry exhibition, so let’s keep the topic focused on it.”

If she stole the spotlight from the jewelry exhibition, wouldn’t Magnolia hate her? However, Magnolia was still surprised to see her. After all, they were rivals in love. Back in college, Magnolia was so close to Alexander, and every time Elizabeth confessed to Alexander, she was rejected. Magnolia showed no expression when she saw Elizabeth. Because someone inside told Magnolia that Lila had arrived, she hurried out to greet her, for Lila’s attendance had not been confirmed before. But when she saw it was Elizabeth, she fell silent. What an unfortunate coincidence. The people invited today, besides Lila whom Magnolia was looking forward to, also included Kennedy.
