Chapter 709

“Who bought it?” Elizabeth asked.

“It’s not convenient to disclose, but it was a wealthy lady,” the guide replied.

Elizabeth understood. She quite liked this set of jewelry, but it wasn’t suitable for someone her age. Instead, it was more fitting for someone like Rose. The reason she insisted on coming to see it was that if it was truly nice, she would buy it for Rose. Moreover, the New Year was approaching, and she hadn’t given Rose a gift all year. But the jewelry had already been sold, which was a real pity.

“Do you like it a lot?” the guide asked Elizabeth.

Elizabeth smiled. “I do, but since it’s been bought, there’s nothing I can do. I’ll look at the others.”

“Elizabeth, there’s another set of jewelry here that I can recommend to you,” the guide said.

Elizabeth nodded and followed the guide.

“Mr. Tudor, I didn’t expect you to come despite being so busy.” There was a commotion outside the door. Everyone looked up and saw Magnolia and Alexander entering together. Alexander was dressed in a black suit, exuding a strong presence with a straight posture. However, no matter how imposing his appearance, the fatigue in his eyes was unmistakable.

“I promised you before, no matter how busy I am, I would come. Just don’t mind that I’ve been entangled in a lot of messes lately,” he said to Magnolia with a slightly hoarse voice, smiling.

Magnolia quickly shook her head. “Mr. Tudor, I’m ashamed that I couldn’t help.”

“Don’t bother. No one can help with my situation, not even Kieran,” Alexander said.

Kieran had been extremely anxious these past few days, constantly trying to find ways to help him. But it turned out that there was nothing he could do. Frequent inspections from higher-ups revealed that Alexander had been set up. Today, things finally calmed down, with nothing left to inspect. But by the time the stock market closed on Friday, the Tudor Group’s stock had indeed dropped significantly, which made Alexander worn out. But this didn’t affect him much, as he was the kind of person who wasn’t afraid of difficulties. However, if someone was plotting against him behind his back… Once he was done with this busy period, he would have something to do: he would make the other party pay tenfold.

While Elizabeth was looking at the jewelry, she heard someone behind her mention Alexander. Elizabeth glanced back and indeed saw him chatting and laughing with Magnolia. She wasn’t surprised by that. After all, she had seen them having dinner together a few days ago. Thinking of this, Elizabeth immediately focused entirely on the exhibition. Perhaps one day, if Alexander figured things out, he might develop a romantic relationship with Magnolia.

“How about this set of jewelry?” the guide asked Elizabeth.

This set was also made of green jade, but compared to the previous one, it was far inferior, and it was really plain and too simple. It wasn’t stunning enough to give as a gift, and she didn’t like it enough to keep it for herself. Once such thoughts arose, the jewelry became meaningless.

Elizabeth was about to look at something else when she heard Magnolia say, “Mr. Tudor is here.”
