Chapter 686

Elizabeth propped her face up and looked out the window, ignoring Felix. Even if he took her home, she would still run off to the research institute later. After all, she had taken it over and had to be responsible for it. The harder she worked, the sooner the research results would come out.

“By the way, if Mr. Tudor brings up the payment again, how should I handle it?” Felix looked at her.

Elizabeth looked up. Once Alexander made a decision, it was hard for anyone to change his mind.

Elizabeth said, “Just forward his messages to me directly. From now on, I’ll handle the communication with him.”

“Okay. But it should be Nolan handling the communication,” Felix said to her.

Elizabeth responded, “Got it.”

They soon arrived at the Percy Family residence, and Elizabeth was about to get out of the car. Felix reminded her, “I’ll be waiting at the door for you. Don’t even think about going to the research institute.”

She looked at him with a hint of melancholy. Felix said, “Boss, you still have to attend the Opulent Crest Jewelry exhibition. You don’t want to show up looking disheveled, with a pale face and red eyes, do you? Opulent Crest Jewelry will definitely attract many socialites and celebrities. You’re a big figure now; you don’t want people pointing fingers at you, saying you look unwell, do you?”

Elizabeth didn’t care at all. Just as she was about to open the door, Felix said, “When the media releases their reports, everyone else will look beautiful and handsome. But you’ll be described as being in a bad mood. Then people will say it’s because of your issues with Mr. Tudor that you can’t eat or sleep well.”

Elizabeth fell silent. She then glared at him. She had to admit, he had a knack for reading people. If she attended the exhibition in her current state, the media might indeed write that she had been going downhill since her divorce from Alexander.

“Felix, you really got me this time,” Elizabeth pointed at him.

Felix just smiled. Because what mattered was that Elizabeth needed to rest well.

Elizabeth sighed. “I get it. Stop watching over me. I’ll rest properly,” then she got out of the car and closed the door. The sound of the door closing was loud, clearly indicating that Elizabeth was angry.

Felix didn’t mind. Although Elizabeth was older than him, he often felt that she was still like a child. He only left after seeing her enter the house.

Elizabeth returned to her room. She didn’t feel much at first, but once she lay down on the bed, she was really exhausted. So she quickly fell asleep. She had a long dream. In the dream, Lily smiled at her and said she didn’t have much time left. Lily held her hand, and soon, Alexander appeared beside her. Lily said she had no regrets, except for seeing Elizabeth and Alexander divorce. If possible, she hoped Elizabeth could give Alexander another chance. Just as Alexander was about to reach out to her, Elizabeth woke up in shock.

It was truly a nightmare. Elizabeth sat on the bed, and the sky outside was getting darker. She suddenly felt a wave of emptiness, as if the whole world had quieted down. She then got out of bed. She stood in the middle of the bedroom, staring blankly for a long time, not knowing what to do.
