Chapter 278
Elizabeth smiled and lifted the watermelon in her hand to greet Alexander.
Alexander grunted inwardlyand kept chatting with others.
Elizabeth set down the watermelon rind and was wiping her fingers when someone approached.
She looked up and saw it was Esme's brother, Henry.
Even though it was supposed to be a party for the entertainment industry, it felt more like a gathering of Lisbun's business elites.
Henry glanced at Elizabeth, grabbed a nearby cup, and sipped some tea.
Elizabeth debated whether to greet Henry. After all, they had some history.
While she hesitated, Henry spoke first, "Ms. Percy, I heard you and Alexander got divorced?"
Elizabeth looked at him. Henry's lips curled up, and his black suit made him look sharp. One hand was in his pocket, the other held the cup.
Henry was usually mature and decent, but he couldn't hide his happiness when he asked that.
Elizabeth sighed, knowing Henry was happy for Esme.
After three years, Esme could finally become Alexander's wife. The whole Russell family must be thrilled for her.
"Yes, we did," Elizabeth replied bluntly.
"If you knew this would happen, why bother in the first place?" Henry's tone was calm but had a hint of sarcasm.
Elizabeth smiled and looked at Lila in the distance. "If I don't try, how will I know the outcome?"
"Pointless," Henry snorted, dripping with sarcasm.
Elizabeth didn't care about Henry's sarcasm.
She had never offended Henry or formally met him.
But the Russell family revolved around Esme. Anyone who hurt Esme was their enemy.
Someone called Henry, and he waved them over.
Elizabeth couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly. 'Thank goodness Henry isn't my brother, or I'd argue with him every day.'
"Faith is here!" someone suddenly shouted. Everyone turned to the entrance.
A sexy young woman in a black backless gown walked in.
She was followed by two bodyguards and her agent, making quite an entrance.
"Faith is so beautiful, truly the queen of the red carpet!"
Elizabeth tilted her head and crossed her arms.
Faith Evans, a top-tier actress, had skyrocketed to fame for playing a sister role.
Faith was Lila's fiercest competitor!
Whether in acting or variety shows, Faith loved to drag Lila down, which was infuriating!
As soon as Faith arrived, many people gathered around her, including some of her former collaborators.
Half the room emptied out.
After greeting everyone, Faith made her way through the crowd to Lila.
Lila raised an eyebrow and smiled at Faith. It was aloof but not hostile.
"Lila, you're here too? I thought you wouldn't come!" Faith's eyes sparkled, making her seem very approachable.
"Yes, but didn't we say hello in the event group?" Lila squinted, even gentler than Faith.
Faith paused for a moment.
Lila inwardly rolled her eyes. 'What a pretense. She has been trying to cozy up to me in the event group chat. Now she has amnesia?'
Faith squinted, gripping her purse tightly. She thought, 'Lila, can't you just follow my lead?'
Lila and Faith stared at each other, tension thick in the air.
