Chapter 1042
Elizabeth carried the freshly washed fruit into the living room. She greeted everyone with a warm smile, "Hi everyone! It's so good to see you all."
The relatives looked up and broke into smiles. "Elizabeth! We haven't seen you at Grandpa's place in ages!"
"You all look exactly the same," Elizabeth said with a grin. "Time has been kind to everyone here."
Everyone chuckled appreciatively.
Celine looked at Elizabeth, feeling particularly good.
"Come and sit for a while." Celine waved her hand.
Elizabeth nodded and sat down next to Celine.
An elderly woman nearby said, "Hey, Elizabeth, you used to play with our grandson Rocco Hightower all the time when you were kids. Do you two still keep in touch?"
Elizabeth quickly shook her head, "No, we haven't spoken in years."
"That's too bad," the older woman said, looking slightly disappointed.
Elizabeth was beautiful, well-mannered, and came from the respected Percy family. Many people had their eyes on her.
"You all continue chatting, I'll just sit here." Elizabeth signaled everyone not to be formal.
Everyone quickly resumed their conversation.
Celine, amidst her busyness, managed to chat with Elizabeth a bit, "After the holiday, is the research institute going to push forward with development?"
Elizabeth nodded while looking at the group chat messages from the research institute.
Everyone was increasingly confident in SH2N, and seeing everyone's high spirits, Elizabeth felt very gratified.
With a big gesture, she handed out bonuses.
Colleagues in the group chat expressed their gratitude.
Perhaps the unusual liveliness in the group chat caught Sheldon's attention. Sheldon also came out and handed out bonuses.
Everyone thanked the bosses.
Elizabeth suddenly thought of something. She propped her face up, bored, took a screenshot, and sent it to Alexander.
Elizabeth: [Dear investor, a year has passed, aren't you going to give out bonuses to everyone?]
Soon, Alexander sent a transfer of twenty thousand dollars.
Then, he transferred four more times.
Alexander: [Is that enough?]
'His attitude towards money is really infuriating,' she thought.
Elizabeth: [I can't finish giving it out.]
Alexander: [Whatever.]
Elizabeth: [Is your stomach feeling better?]
Alexander sent a voice message, his voice still noticeably weak, "Better."
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow.
Elizabeth also replied with a voice message, "You don't sound very well."
Alexander: [Still a little under the weather, I guess.]
Elizabeth: [Should we get you back to the doctor?]
Alexander: [No need. If you'd take back what you said earlier, I'd feel much better.]
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes at his manipulation attempt.
She decided not to respond to any more messages.
Alexander: [Seriously? You took the money, listened to my message, and now you're ghosting me?]
Elizabeth just let him stew.
"Grandma, I have something to tell you." Elizabeth held Celine's arm, not forgetting to massage her fingers.
Celine looked at Elizabeth gently, "What is it, dear?"
"I booked a ticket for tonight..." Elizabeth said cautiously, afraid of being scolded by Celine.
Her parents went out to play, and now she wanted to go out too.
Sure enough, after saying this, the warmth in Celine's eyes faded.
"You're going out too? What for?" Celine's tone was displeased.
Elizabeth had expected this reaction.
