Chapter 148 Fetch My Shoes
Alexander's face was dark, Gideon on the other end almost burst out laughing.
Gideon knew Alexander's temperament the best.
Alexander had managed to make a successful comeback even after being suppressed and expelled by the entire Windsor family; he was definitely not an ordinary tough guy.
Although the four of them helped each other and grew stronger together, the core strength was still with Alexander.
For six years, Alexander, who made everyone tremble with fear, had finally met someone who could easily restrain him—Elizabeth.
Gideon could see clearly that Elizabeth's sudden expressionless remark left Alexander speechless.
Seeing Alexander unable to speak for a long time, Gideon teased, "Miss Spencer, any bar girl brought here by Alexander must be of high standards."
Elizabeth said, "Thank you."
Gideon laughed.
"What strategy is the lady using?" Calvin turned his head to ask Gideon, who was sitting next to him.
Gideon snorted, "What strategy? I'm afraid Alexander himself is caught up in it."
Calvin and Gideon chatted leisurely with their wine glasses, watching Alexander's reaction, clearly enjoying the show.
Don't be fooled by Calvin's earlier worry about not reconciling with Alexander; now, with Gideon and Caspian backing him up, Calvin also wanted to see what kind of joke Alexander would make in front of his friends.
In Sunwillow City, Alexander was a symbol of power, making people tremble with fear.
In private, among his friends who had been through life and death with him, Alexander could still relax quite a bit.
Just as they were waiting for Alexander to make a fool of himself, Alexander's phone rang.
He picked it up, seeing it was Sierra calling.
To Alexander, Sierra was an insignificant person.
Back then, Esme ended up as Felix's mistress outside, clearly orchestrated by Sierra.
Did Alexander hate her?
Very much!
But Sierra was old, her three sons were dead, leaving her alone in the world to bear the pain. If Alexander, with his current status, were to crush the powerless Sierra, outsiders wouldn't stand for it.
He didn't want to do that.
Since Sierra was an elder, she deserved some dignity.
Alexander picked up the call, answering, "Hello."
"Alexander!" Sierra called Alexander as if calling her own son.
"What is it?" Alexander's tone was cold.
Sierra's tone was very serious, "Can you talk now?"
Remaining silent, Alexander glanced around at the people, getting up, and walking out.
Elizabeth was left alone.
On the surface, she appeared calm, but inside she was very nervous, not knowing who would take her away tonight. She had been in prison, on the run, and was labeled as a dirty woman who brought disaster to the upper circles of Aldoria.
In fact, she had never been a bar girl or done anything like accompanying men.
Her palms were sweaty and sticky.
It was a bit better with Alexander sitting there, but with him going out to take a call, Elizabeth felt even more at a loss.
In the large private room, everyone's eyes were focused on Elizabeth.
Gideon was smiling kindly.
Caspian looked calm.
Calvin was curiously looking at Gideon, wanting some information from him. In recent years, Calvin, who had been in Kateka, had less contact with Alexander and didn't know much about the situation.
But he did know that Alexander's fiancée was named Clara Guise.
So what was Elizabeth's identity?
In the private room, not only the men's eyes were on Elizabeth.
The women beside each man were also unabashedly scrutinizing Elizabeth.
Where there are women, there is talk.
Because Alexander was not there, the atmosphere relaxed a bit, two women have already started whispering.
"Did you hear? She's the woman Alexander brought back."
"I heard she was the one who ruined Alexander's marriage back then."
"Alexander is ruthless! Anyone who has ever offended him, he won't let go easily."
"Didn't you hear her say it herself? She's a bar girl! Alexander must be using this way to torture her. There's a saying, turning a good girl into a lowly, wanton prostitute is the most interesting. Moreover, this woman tried to enter the upper circles six years ago but never found the opportunity."
While the two women were chatting, another woman with wavy hair was listening intently.
The woman in the pink dress, Ellen Griffin, suddenly asked her, "Hello, you look familiar. Are you Laura Mitchell, the movie star who just won the Best Newcomer Award internationally?"
Laura nodded coldly, replying simply, "Yes."
Laura was here today at the request of a wealthy fan, accompanying the fan's husband to this small gathering. The fan was a socialite with a prominent family in Pariz, who had recently returned to Sunwillow City after developing abroad.
Before attending the gathering, the fan told Laura, "Laura, I won't let you go for nothing. This gathering brings together four top figures. If you can get into this circle, it won't be hard to find investment for your films in the future. Any one of those four men you can seduce will make you rich for life."
"I request you to be my husband's temporary companion. Firstly, because I just gave birth and can't accompany him right now. Secondly, having a star like you help him will give him a better chance to integrate into that circle. Also, please keep an eye on him and make sure those bar girls don't tempt him."
Laura casually asked the fan, "Aren't you afraid I'll seduce your husband?"
The fan immediately laughed, "If you go to such an occasion, with Alexander, Gideon, and Caspian there, would you still look at my husband? With your current status, you are actually raising my husband's profile."
These words made Laura's vanity swell.
She had won an international award, but she hadn't truly entered the circle of super-rich families. This was a perfect opportunity.
As a newly promoted movie star, Laura hadn't fully integrated into the upper circles, but she had to fake some arrogance and coldness.
So, at this moment, when other women tried to chat with Laura, she didn't respond much.
Laura focused her attention on Elizabeth.
She could see that the real star of tonight's gathering was Alexander, as Sunwillow City was the largest city in Cassarila, and Alexander was a symbol of Aldoria's wealth and power.
As Laura scrutinized Elizabeth, Elizabeth got up and went to the restroom. She couldn't stand the scrutinizing gazes anymore, wanting to wash her sweaty and sticky palms.
Just as Elizabeth reached the restroom, she heard a command from behind, "Bar girl! Come over and carry my shoes."
