Irreparable Love
Chapter 369
“I’m out,” Elizabeth said, rolling her eyes. She thought, ‘Ten million is my limit. If Louis is gonna throw down ten million…’
“Felix, we might be late getting back,” Elizabeth sighed. They brushed past Alexander. Alexander turned slowly, watching Elizabeth walk away. Elizabeth handed her blazer to Felix, and Alexander caught a glimpse of Elizabeth yank off her mask and toss it onto a waiter’s tray, then kick…
Alexander raised an eyebrow, thinking, ‘Someone’s got a temper.’ As the waiter walked by, he called out, “That mask…”
“Oh, the lady didn’t want it,” the waiter replied.
Alexander grabbed it and slipped a bill into the waiter’s tray. The waiter walked off, grinning. Alexander looked at the little fox mask in his hand and chuckled. He thought, ‘What a coincidence, bumping into Elizabeth on business…’
“Mr. Tudor,” Nolan said, walking over quickly.
Alexander looked up. “Yeah?”
Nolan said, “Ms. Percy’s here for Serenity Leaf. Her companion inquired…”
Alexander nodded. “Got it.”
Nolan looked at him and asked, “So, about this Serenity Leaf?”
Alexander’s eyes were unreadable. “Take it back.”
“Understood,” Nolan said, catching Alexander’s drift.
Alexander didn’t go back to the auction hall; he saw Louis leaving to… Alexander squinted, wondering if Elizabeth was really gonna keep…
Elizabeth left the auction hall. The room key was for the hotel next door. Felix pulled up.

Chapter 369
Elizabeth dragged her suitcase out and tossed it in the back seat. As Felix drove to the hotel, Elizabeth opened the suitcase. Felix glanced back and saw Elizabeth pulling out a needle.
Louis was in for a rough time.
“Boss, don’t go overboard,” Felix warned, “We’re in Nyxonia, after all…”
“So what if it’s Nyxonia? If he dares to humiliate me, I’ll make sure he can’t use his manhood!” Elizabeth snapped.
Felix laughed. “Boss, you’re getting scarier.”
Elizabeth tied up her hair and hid a dagger, just in case. Her dress had no sleeves, so she stuck the silver needle at her waist where it wouldn’t be noticed, easy to grab.
They soon arrived at the hotel across the street. Elizabeth didn’t get out right away, letting Louis sweat it out a bit. Finally, her phone rang, showing a Nyxonian number. Looked like Louis was getting nervous. Only then did Elizabeth push open the car door and step out. She leaned against the car door, looking up at the tall building.
“Boss, I’ll be waiting at the entrance. Once you’re done, get in the car immediately. We’ll bounce,” Felix told her.
Elizabeth nodded.
“If anything goes wrong, call me, and I’ll come up,” Felix reminded her again.
Elizabeth nodded.
“Boss, be careful. Serenity Leaf… worth risking it all for,” Felix’s voice softened. He felt guilty. Because of him, Elizabeth’s funds were tight.
Elizabeth headed to the hotel alone. She shook her wrist and swiped the card to take the elevator. On the 36th floor, she saw Louis’s two bodyguards not far away. They were stunned to see her. Her face was stunning, especially her eyes, which sparkled with a captivating charm. Elizabeth glanced at them disdainfully and asked, “Where’s Louis?”

The waiter pointed to the presidential suite beside him. Elizabeth swiped the card. The door opened.
