Chapter 374

“Yo, Mr. Tudor, if you’re cool with giving it up, I’d be super grateful,” Elizabeth grinned, trying to keep it real. “But if Alexander wasn’t down, she wasn’t gonna push it.”

Just a necklace, Alexander raised an eyebrow, took a sip of his drink, and said all chipper, “Ms. Percy, what you got to offer in return?”

“Offer? I’ll just buy it off you,” Elizabeth shrugged. “Double what you paid, deal?”

Felix glanced between Elizabeth and Alexander, feeling kinda uneasy. Even if they weren’t a couple, they’d still be a power duo. Alexander was already a tough cookie, and Elizabeth? She was even tougher now, not giving a damn about anyone else.

“Talking money is so tacky,” Alexander sighed.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. “Mr. Tudor, just hit me up when you’re ready to part with it. It’s late, so I’m out. Later!”

She was about to bounce.

Alexander piped up, “Elizabeth, I did save your butt, remember? My arm’s still messed up.”

Elizabeth paused, her eyes blinking. ‘Like I haven’t saved him before? What’s he trying to prove? And his arm? Not my fault,’ she thought.

Keeping her cool, she looked at him and said, “I said I didn’t need help. You did it anyway. Your call, your mess. I don’t owe you anything.”

She smiled, gave a nod, and turned to leave. Her words cut deep, like a knife straight to Alexander’s heart. Cold as ice. The door slammed shut. Alexander clenched his cup, then let out a bitter laugh.

Chapter 374

“Mr. Tudor,” Nolan walked in, speaking softly.

Alexander looked up, eyes tired. “What’s up?”

“Our deal with Louis is off,” Nolan said, head down.

Alexander nodded. “Alright. Get the stuff we won at the auction and let’s bounce.”

He stood up, ready to leave.

Nolan asked, “Mr. Tudor, aren’t you gonna eat? You barely touched your food.”

“Not feeling it,” he said flatly.

Nolan glanced at the table. Only Elizabeth’s plate was clean. Alexander’s barely touched.

“What’s up with Louis?” Alexander asked.

Nolan quickly caught up. “Louis didn’t call the cops. It’s settled. But he’s not doing great; he’s in the hospital.”

Alexander frowned, thinking, ‘Not doing great? Is Louis hurt?’

“Ms. Percy messed him up, but I handled it. Louis won’t be a problem for her,” Nolan said.

Alexander chuckled. Elizabeth had definitely toughened up after leaving him. She had the guts to go solo in a foreign country and even take on someone like Louis. Elizabeth always acted first, thought later.

“Book the next flight home,” Alexander ordered, wiping his fingers.

“Got it,” Nolan nodded.

On the plane, Elizabeth and Felix sat one behind the other. Elizabeth sighed, “All that hassle for nothing.”

“Boss, it’s my bad. I’ll take the heat,” Felix said, looking guilty.

Elizabeth pinched the bridge of her nose, eyes closed, feeling drained. Suddenly, a familiar voice hit her ears, “Alright, I’ll call you when we land.”
