Chapter 962
Elizabeth withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at Magnolia and Alexander.
Magnolia did indeed like Alexander before, but now, it was hard to tell.
If Magnolia still liked Alexander and had the ability to win him over, Elizabeth would be more than happy.
Elizabeth took another sip of water, and someone nearby greeted Elara. Elara's attention was diverted.
Declan and Blake went off to chat. Although their children had married each other, they had rarely seen each other over the years.
Blake had previously intended to meet with Declan to chat. However, since Elizabeth had cut ties with the Percy Family, Declan was also reluctant to flatter the Tudor family.
So, over the years, the two families had hardly met. This time was a good opportunity.
Declan and Blake were both good people, and once they started talking, they couldn't stop. They had a great rapport.
At this moment, Nolan's voice echoed in the room.
He stood on the stage, neatly dressed in a suit, holding a microphone. "Hello, everyone."
He was testing the microphone.
Everyone looked towards the stage, and Nolan said to the crowd, "The annual meeting has begun. Mr. Tudor will be on stage to speak in five minutes. We have prepared various programs for tonight, so please enjoy yourselves."
The Tudor Group's annual meeting was divided into two parts. One was for internal employees, with benefits; the other was for executives and partners to summarize the year.
The attendees of this event were all industry elites, shareholders of the Tudor Group, and partners.
Alexander and Magnolia said their goodbyes and walked towards Elizabeth.
He asked, "Do you want to go on stage with me?"
Elizabeth decisively refused.
He was going on stage to give a summary; what would she be doing beside him?
Playing the role of an admirer, standing by his side to support him?
Three years ago, she might have actually done that.
But not now.
She wasn't as cheeky as before.
She hoped Alexander could understand this.
Alexander nodded and went backstage to prepare.
Rose looked at Alexander's figure and couldn't help but feel regretful. "So stupid!"
Elizabeth looked at Rose, not knowing what she was regretting.
Rose said, "Why couldn't he have been like this earlier? Did he have to hurt you so badly to be satisfied?"
Elizabeth patted Rose's shoulder, signaling her to stop talking about it.
Soon, Alexander was on stage.
The audience took their seats.
In the large reception hall, every table was fully occupied.
Alexander stood in the center of the stage, looking down.
Elizabeth stood to the side, arms crossed, holding a wine glass. Her red dress was dazzling and beautiful.
She gave him a feeling that his wife was quietly accompanying him from the audience, a very pleasant feeling.
Alexander didn't like this feeling before. He always thought that men should focus on their careers while women should take care of the home. Was there anything he couldn't handle?
Now he realized that having a wife by his side was reassuring.
With her there, he felt at ease.
"Hello, everyone, I'm Alexander. Thank you all for taking the time to attend the Tudor Group's annual meeting!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room was filled with continuous applause.
Elizabeth looked down at the audience. They were giving Alexander a lot of respect, as if they were supporting a big star, very enthusiastically.
To her, Alexander was extremely unimportant, but to others, he seemed like a god on high.
Elizabeth took a sip of water and continued to look at Alexander.
"Tonight, there may be some areas where the hospitality is lacking. I ask for your understanding, whether you are seniors or colleagues."
"Next, I will present the Tudor Group's annual summary."
Elizabeth yawned. She lowered her head and couldn't help but play with her phone.
