Chapter 555

Alexander bought a butterfly necklace, and it was clearly meant for Elizabeth. So, the butterfly necklace Alexander got from abroad was for Elizabeth, huh? Esme thought, letting out a helpless sigh. Henry hesitated. Seeing how much Esme liked it, he decided to go over and talk to Alexander. Maybe Alexander would be willing to part with the necklace? If it could make Esme happy, it was worth a shot.

Henry made up his mind to go over. Esme grabbed his arm and shook her head slightly. “Forget it, Henry,” she said. Since it was for Elizabeth, Alexander wouldn’t give it up. “Let me try,” Henry said, patting Esme’s head. He genuinely wanted to make Esme happy.

Henry approached Alexander, but Nolan spoke first, “Mr. Russell, do you need something?” “I just want to say hi to Mr. Tudor. Nolan, you can go ahead and get busy,” Henry smiled. Even though Nolan was just an assistant, he often spoke for Alexander. So, even if Nolan was a bit rude, Henry couldn’t say much. Despite being part of the four major families, there were still hierarchies. The Russell family was always cautious, except for Esme, who wasn’t a blood relative of the Russells.

Alexander looked at Henry, not wanting to deal with the Russell family any more than necessary. “Just say it,” he said. Nolan didn’t need to leave. Henry realized he had no standing in front of Alexander. Even Nolan didn’t need to leave.

As the president of the Russell Group, it was almost laughable. “Mr. Tudor, I saw you bought necklace 0822?” Henry asked. Alexander squinted and looked at Esme behind him. He immediately guessed why Henry was there. “Henry, the necklace is not for sale,” he said seriously. “I’ll only say this once.” Alexander didn’t want to answer such questions anymore.

Henry suddenly didn’t know what to say. Alexander really didn’t show him any respect. “Mr. Tudor, I really mean it. If you sell me the necklace and make Esme happy, I’ll give you anything you want, as long as it’s within my power,” Henry said, almost pleading. Alexander spread his hands and said, “I already have everything you can give me. And what you can’t give, I also have. What do I need from you?”

“Mr. Russell, step aside.” With that, Alexander pushed Henry’s shoulder with one hand and walked straight out of the exhibition hall. Alexander had an impromptu meeting and needed to get back to the company. Henry was pushed aside, his face turning serious. People passing by didn’t dare to look, only eavesdropping. Henry sighed.

Esme walked over and whispered, “Henry, I’m sorry for putting you through this.” Henry shook his head, looking at Alexander’s back, his eyes filled with complexity. Elizabeth also noticed Alexander’s departure. She looked at the dazzling array of jewelry in the cabinet, but none of it interested her anymore.
