Chapter 520

“Man, look at you now. Honestly, I think Elizabeth and Sheldon make a pretty good pair. Sure, Sheldon’s a bit older, but still!” Kieran was peeling an orange, but before he could take a bite, a thrown pillow came flying at him. The orange hit the floor. Kieran looked devastated. “The orange didn’t do anything wrong! If you wanna throw something, aim it at me!”

“I am aiming at you,” Alexander replied, icily.

Kieran chuckled. “Seriously though, how’s the injury? When are you getting out of here? I can’t wait to see you groveling for Elizabeth’s forgiveness.” He teased.

Just as Kieran was about to continue, he noticed Alexander reaching for another pillow. Kieran went silent, cleared his throat, and said, “I’ve got something important to tell you.”

“Not interested,” Alexander snapped, clearly annoyed. He was already fed up with being stuck in the hospital and didn’t want to hear anything else.

“It’s really important,” Kieran said with a mischievous grin.

Alexander’s face darkened, and he looked ready to throw the pillow again. But before he could, Kieran moved closer to the bed, squinting with a smile. “It’s about Elizabeth. You sure you don’t wanna hear it? Fine, I’ll leave.”

‘About Elizabeth?’ Alexander thought, giving Kieran a look that said, ‘Alright, spill.’

Kieran smirked, thinking, ‘Didn’t he say he wasn’t listening? Changes his tune when it’s about Elizabeth.’

“Celine lost feeling in her arm, so there’s no one to lead the research lab,” Kieran said, munching on a piece of the orange. “So, Elizabeth took over.”

Alexander was a bit taken aback. Elizabeth knew some medical stuff, but running a lab like that was a big deal.

‘Can she handle it? If she messes up, it’ll be a disaster,’ Alexander worried. These projects usually had their spending out in the open. If they poured in billions and it failed, Elizabeth would be the first one accused of embezzlement.

“Sheldon’s a sharp guy. If he let Elizabeth take over, she must have something special. Plus, she’s Celine’s granddaughter, so it’s gotta be legit,” Kieran assured Alexander.

But Alexander frowned, lost in thought. Elizabeth had never dealt with the shady side of finance. He was really worried about her. Even if he didn’t know Elizabeth had saved him back then, if he knew this news, he would find her and make her think carefully before deciding.

“Why the long face?” Kieran asked, puzzled. “Don’t you trust Elizabeth?”

“I don’t know why, but I have a feeling Elizabeth will nail it,” Kieran said seriously. “It’s making me wanna invest to reward!”

“So?” Alexander asked, his expression saying, “Is that all?”

“Here’s the kicker.” Kieran grinned. “I found out on my way here that tomorrow, Sheldon’s holding a handover ceremony for Elizabeth, officially making her the head of the research institute. It’s happening at Jadeite Tower.”

Alexander wasn’t surprised. This was typical Sheldon; he always made a big deal out of everything.

“Jadeite Tower, see? Sheldon’s giving Elizabeth a lot of attention!” Kieran said, finishing the last piece of the orange.

Alexander stayed silent. Kieran looked at him, thinking, Is he really not going to say anything?

“Nothing else? You can leave now,” Alexander said coldly.

“Alexander, you deserve to be single forever. You deserve to be fooled,” Kieran snapped, frustrated.
