Chapter 55
Esme opened her mouth, clearly uneasy.
Elizabeth wanted to meet Glory M too?
"Ms. Russell, you're so resourceful, meeting someone like Glory M. Unlike me, I just hear about him..." Elizabeth's face showed she really wanted to meet Glory M too.
Esme snorted. She was the eldest daughter of the Russell family; she always got what she wanted!
"Sure, the Percy family isn't weak, but they're still behind the big four! Since we're friends, why not broaden my horizons a bit?" Elizabeth desperately tried to downplay the Percy family.
Esme raised an eyebrow. She hated when people looked at her with admiration.
But she loved being worshipped, especially by Elizabeth.
"I gotta ask Glory M!" Esme said.
"You're so tight with Glory M. Do you really need to ask just to bring a friend?" Elizabeth shot back.
Esme paused, gripping her phone.
Elizabeth had a point. She couldn't let her know she wasn't actually close with Glory M!
"I'm just being respectful," Esme grunted.
Elizabeth didn't buy it. "You don't actually know Glory M, do you?"
"Of course I do!" Esme snapped.
Elizabeth dared to question her. Today, she'd show Elizabeth what she was made of!
Glory M promised to bring that rare ginseng today. She'd use it to warn Elizabeth that with this ginseng, she'd definitely marry Alexander.
"Today's your lucky day; you'll see that ginseng!" Esme said arrogantly.
Elizabeth knew Esme had agreed to take her to see Glory M. She widened her eyes, pretending to be surprised. "Really?"
"Of course! When you meet Glory M, keep your mouth shut!" Esme warned.
Elizabeth followed closely, sneering inside.
Esme was still the same: competitive and proud.
They entered the private room, but it was quiet and empty.
Elizabeth lounged on the sofa, looking all prim and proper, waiting for Glory M to show up.
Esme whipped out her phone and shot a text to Glory M: [I'm here, Glory M. If you bail on me today, you're toast!]
Just because she needed a favor didn't mean she was gonna be messed with!
Esme put her phone down and caught a glimpse of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth had changed over the past three years. She wasn't the bright, innocent girl from college anymore; now she was all mature and sexy.
Back in the day, Esme was super jealous of Elizabeth—beautiful, smart, always the star in med school.
Now, to Esme, Elizabeth was nothing.
Elizabeth was eyeing a bottle of wine when Esme sneered, "Don't touch those wines; you can't afford them."
Elizabeth stared at the pricey wines on the table, each bottle tagged at around three hundred grand.
"Yeah, I can't afford them; they're crazy expensive." Elizabeth smirked, picking up another bottle.
Esme rushed over and snatched the bottles from her hands, clearly worried Elizabeth might open one.
Elizabeth glanced at Esme, not mad, and thinking about what was coming, her smile grew wider.
"When's Glory M getting here?" Elizabeth asked Esme.
Esme checked the time; it was 12:20 PM.
"Any minute now!" Esme plopped down, looking ticked off.
Elizabeth crossed her legs, casually fiddling with a wine bottle. "Did you really snag that ginseng?"
