Chapter 277

Elizabeth had barely taken a few steps when she bumped into Joseph.

“Hey, Joseph!” she waved excitedly.

Joseph looked surprised. “Elizabeth, you’re here too?”

“Lila dragged me along. What about you?” Elizabeth asked.

“You know Lila?” Joseph was shocked.

Elizabeth pouted. “Are you kidding? Lila’s a good friend. I’ve watched her become a big star over the years!”

Joseph suddenly smiled. “I need a favor.”

Elizabeth squinted.

“Our jewelry store needs a new spokesperson. Lila’s perfect, but she’s super busy. Can you help me out?” Joseph asked.

“No problem. I’ll set up a dinner when she’s free, but I can’t promise anything. It’s her choice!” Elizabeth smiled.

Joseph was grateful. “Just getting a meeting is great. Thanks!”

They chatted and laughed; the atmosphere was friendly.

Not far away, Alexander watched them, his hand slowly clenching into a fist. The person next to him didn’t dare to breathe. “So, they really are divorced, huh? Otherwise, how could a couple just nod at each other like that? Elizabeth and Joseph seem more like a couple than her and Alexander.”

“Mr. Tudor, shall we go inside?” the woman asked cautiously.

Alexander’s expression was grim. He withdrew his gaze and nodded.

As soon as he entered, Alexander drew the attention of many actresses and socialites. Alexander rarely attended such events, so seeing him was a big deal. Every time he showed up, it caused a stir. His looks were better than many male celebrities. Male celebrities would step aside when they saw him. With his status and power, he was the ideal husband for many women. Now that he was divorced, it only fueled their desire to win him over. Who could capture Alexander’s heart?

Elizabeth entered with Joseph. She was dressed simply, and since everyone’s attention was on Lila and Alexander earlier, no one noticed her.

She found a corner and started eating cake. Elizabeth glanced at Alexander. He was still surrounded by people, always the center of attention. The actresses in the room were eager to approach him. They tried to act cool but kept glancing his way. One actress in a yellow dress was especially noticeable, taking pictures and selfies.

Elizabeth smirked and continued eating her cake. Just then, someone approached Alexander. “Mr. Tudor, I’m Molly Parker. Nice to meet you.” Molly, in a black bodycon dress, extended her hand for a handshake.

Alexander just smiled faintly. “Hello, I’m Alexander.” But he didn’t shake her hand. Molly felt awkward but didn’t say much; just talking to Alexander was an honor.

As Alexander was socializing, he felt a burning gaze. He turned and saw Elizabeth eating watermelon, looking at him. This was the first time the watching women felt Alexander as a bystander, not her husband. Honestly, it was quite amusing. Alexander was speechless. Elizabeth really looked like she was just enjoying herself.
