Chapter 736

Elizabeth coughed lightly, almost choking on water. Why did people around her keep bringing up Kennedy lately? They never seemed to tire of talking about her, but she was getting sick of hearing it.

Seeing Elizabeth cough, Ivan quickly handed her a tissue. Elizabeth shook her head and just sniffled. She said, “Is Kennedy really that great? Why does everyone want to invite him?”

“Aren’t you acquainted with Kennedy? I’ve seen the news about you, Eko,” Ivan coughed lightly.

Elizabeth was speechless. Great, now it was his turn to cough. If that was the case, Elizabeth understood why Ivan had asked her out for dinner and even brought her flowers.

“So, Mr. Shawn, what’s this about?” Elizabeth tilted her head, hoping Ivan would get straight to the point.

Ivan paused. He didn’t even know how they had started talking about Kennedy.

“No, Elizabeth, I didn’t ask you out to dinner to get you to connect me with Kennedy. I don’t need your help with that; I’m already in contact with her,” Ivan quickly explained. He was afraid Elizabeth would misunderstand him. He really didn’t ask Elizabeth out just to see Kennedy. He had just been very busy lately, and after returning from a business trip, he really wanted to see Elizabeth, so he asked her out directly. He was a straightforward person, not one to beat around the bush. So he hoped Elizabeth wouldn’t misunderstand him and would clear up any misunderstandings immediately.

Elizabeth understood Ivan’s intentions. He really didn’t need her to make an introduction. But Elizabeth still wanted to tease him, “Really? If you want to get in touch, I’d be happy to introduce you.”

Ivan shook his head, “No need, really.” After all, he was the heir to the Shawn Group, and he had his own connections. Finding Kennedy shouldn’t be difficult. However, getting Kennedy to join him might be a bit harder. Because he had also heard today that the Tudor Group was planning to enter the jewelry industry. He wondered if they also be eyeing Kennedy.

If everyone started eyeing Kennedy, Kennedy’s commercial value would keep rising. In the end, it wouldn’t be about the price anymore but about who had more value to offer in a partnership. It would be Kennedy choosing them, not the other way around.

“I went to see the Opulent Crest Jewelry exhibition, and I thought it was pretty good,” Elizabeth said to Ivan.

Ivan nodded, “I saw the video too. Some of the jewelry pieces were indeed quite nice.”

“Your exhibition was also very well done, but I have a suggestion for you,” Elizabeth said to Ivan.

Ivan nodded; he was very willing to hear Elizabeth’s suggestions. Although Elizabeth wasn’t a jewelry designer, she had great ideas. With her mother being a fashion designer, Elizabeth was naturally not an ordinary person.

“Tell your designer to be a bit more low-key; they were really too flashy,” Elizabeth recalled what had happened at the exhibition and still felt uncomfortable. Designers should stay behind the scenes. If they must make an appearance, they should be gracious enough. If they weren’t gracious and couldn’t take criticism, they shouldn’t appear in public.

“Are you still upset about what happened that day?” Ivan asked Elizabeth. He really cared about Elizabeth’s attitude and feelings.

Elizabeth shook her head, “I’m not upset; I just think that incident left a bad impression on me, so I think you should pay attention. If you want to go further in the jewelry industry, you might want to make some changes. Of course, you can also think I’m just talking nonsense,” Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, looking serious.

Ivan immediately nodded, “I’ve noted everything down, Elizabeth. Whatever you…”

Elizabeth chuckled. Ivan was really getting more and more clueless.

Elizabeth was cutting her steak and was about to eat when she suddenly saw a familiar face sitting nearby. Seeing Elizabeth in a daze, Ivan followed her gaze. It was Alexander and Kieran. Elizabeth squinted her eyes.
