Unrepairable Love
Chapter 780
Elizabeth arrived at Celestial Elegance at night, wearing a white dress paired with a dark coat and carrying a globally limited-edition handbag. From the moment she entered the restaurant, she became the center of attention. Everyone’s eyes naturally fell on her; she exuded such nobility and elegance. When she saw acquaintances, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and when led by the waiter, she softly said, “Thank you.” In an instant, she garnered the goodwill of countless people.
After Esme was taken away, everyone seemed to rediscover Elizabeth! From afar, Elizabeth saw Alexander and Sheldon. The two seemed to be chatting happily, with Sheldon laughing heartily. Elizabeth pursed her lips, adjusted her demeanor, and walked over assertively.
“You’re here,” Sheldon was the first to notice Elizabeth. Alexander turned his head as Elizabeth took off her coat and handed it to the waiter beside her. She slightly rolled up her sleeves and then sat next to Sheldon, facing Alexander. She wore a Kennedy necklace that complemented her skin beautifully. She hadn’t done her nails, but it didn’t detract from her overall elegance. She had her hair casually pinned up and then looked up at Alexander, smiling slightly and politely saying, “Mr. Tudor, hello. I’m the director of the institute, Elizabeth. No need for further introductions, right?”
Her words were full of a sense of detachment. Indeed, no introductions were needed; they were well acquainted. Sheldon observed the two and finally understood why Elizabeth was so resistant to Alexander. The atmosphere between them was indeed strange.
“Elizabeth, let’s just have a meal as friends and then discuss our institute’s current projects and progress with Mr. Tudor,” Sheldon tried to ease the tension.
Elizabeth responded and then asked Alexander, “Mr. Tudor, do you understand? Or should we… skip this part?”
Alexander laughed.
Sheldon couldn’t help but feel nervous. No matter how tactful he was, Elizabeth shouldn’t say that to their investor. Moreover, Alexander was no ordinary person. How could she do that?
“How could we skip it? Since Mr. Tudor is investing, we should introduce the projects to him. What do you think, Mr. Tudor?” Sheldon looked at Alexander. Besides, Elizabeth not introducing the projects was clearly mocking Alexander’s understanding, wasn’t it?

Alexander’s gaze remained fixed on Elizabeth. Elizabeth’s outfit today was very imposing, much like someone who battles in the corporate world. Her aura was unique, especially with her bold makeup and red lips today; her already beautiful features were even more accentuated.
Alexander smiled, “Skipping it is fine.”
Sheldon paused.
Elizabeth smiled, “Thank you, Mr. Tudor.”
At that moment, Sheldon realized: only he was treating Alexander politely as an investor. In Elizabeth’s eyes, Alexander might just be a damned ex-husband. Sheldon decided to stay silent and quietly started eating.
“Mr. Tudor, how much are you planning to invest?” This was what Elizabeth was most concerned about.
“If the institute needs it, I can keep investing,” he said.
This sounded like a guarantee.
Elizabeth smiled, “The institute’s investment is endless. Are you ready, Mr. Tudor?”
“Although I haven’t told you the current progress, there’s one thing I must tell you, Mr. Tudor. The final success is not guaranteed. Your money might be wasted,” Elizabeth reminded him again.
“You know my capabilities,” Alexander pursed his lips, his expression deep, staring intently at Elizabeth.
So what if the money was wasted? If she wanted to research this project, he would just support her. Anything that money could solve, he didn’t consider a problem.
Sheldon listened and smiled, “Indeed. While the outside world speculates about Mr. Tudor’s wealth, I think Elizabeth knows best how much Mr. Tudor has.”
