Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Alexander Became Suspicious

Translator: Inschain Editor: Inschain

Elizabeth looked puzzled. “Why?”

Peter chuckled dismissively, murmuring under his breath, “Probably he wants to be with you.”

Elizabeth seemed lost, but after a moment of contemplation, her eyes lit up.

“Oh, I get it now!”

Peter looked surprised. “You finally caught on!”

“Do you finally grasp the concept of ‘being with you’?”

A hint of joy sparkled in Elizabeth’s eyes. “He’s truly a good friend. Data shows that friends always help each other. So, Alexander sees me as a friend, right? Does that mean I’ve successfully made a friend?”

Peter burst into laughter.

The one Alexander wanted to be with was just a little girl without the concept of sex.

He felt at ease, knowing Elizabeth wouldn’t be taken advantage of.

Elizabeth felt a touch of happiness inside.

“I have a friend now.’

After escorting Elizabeth out, Peter returned inside. Carrying the weight of a large corporation on his shoulders wasn’t easy.

Elizabeth stood on the sidewalk waiting for Nick. During this time, she received the transfer of money from Sophia and Ray.

The combined amount was fifty thousand dollars.

They wanted her to enjoy herself with her friends and gave her permission to return home a bit late.

Elizabeth didn’t explain further, accepted the money, and replied to them with a simple “Thank you.”

After some thought, she texted Peter, “Do we have any small projects coming up in our corporation? Send them over once organized.”

Peter responded with an array of surprised symbols.

The normally uninvolved-in-affairs Elizabeth showed interest in corporate matters! Peter’s astonishment seemed almost palpable through the screen.

Elizabeth ignored him, thinking he was too talkative, and muted his messages.

From a nearby balcony, Alexander cast a casual gaze upon Elizabeth, his emotions somewhat unreadable.

Samuel chimed in, “I told you I wasn’t lying. That’s her, right? But she only stayed inside for about forty minutes. Probably nothing happened.”

“What can a man and a woman do so early in the morning? But how does she know Peter? Didn’t she just come back from the countryside? It’s quite strange.”

Alexander squinted thoughtfully, “It is a bit odd.”

Peter seemed quite familiar with Elizabeth, not as if they had just met, but as if they’d known each other for a long time.

Moreover, Alexander keenly observed a hint of reverence in Peter’s demeanor toward her.

Alexander felt puzzled. To his knowledge, Peter first met Elizabeth on the day of the Wilson family’s coming-of-age ceremony.

Did they meet then, or had they known each other before?

A bold guess formed in Alexander’s mind. Tapping the railing with his knuckles, he pondered a moment before sending a text.

“I want all the information on Elizabeth Lawrence from the Wilson family, from her childhood till now.”

A swift reply came, “OK.”

Alexander composed himself, played with his phone for a moment, and then headed downstairs.

“Where are you going?” Samuel asked.

Without looking back, Alexander replied, “To give lessons to the little girl.” Samuel was left puzzled.

Just as Elizabeth put away her phone, a casual yet sultry voice resonated from behind. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

“Little girl, what a coincidence.”

Elizabeth looked up to see Alexander, her eyes shimmering slightly.

Alexander scrutinized the delicate features of the ‘little girl.’ She didn’t appear as aloof as usual. Her dark eyes gazed at him, seemingly happy about his appearance.

Recognizing this, the corner of Alexander’s mouth lifted subtly.

Upon seeing Alexander again, the first words out of Elizabeth Lawrence’s mouth were, “Oh, friend, hello.”

Alexander didn’t know how to answer her.

The corners of Alexander’s eyes twitched imperceptibly. Stepping out of his car, he leaned against it, standing tall, and cast a mysteriously amused look at Elizabeth.

“Oh, you consider us friends, right?”
