YM778.TV Chapter 95 - 95: He Was Deceived by Elizabeth
As soon as Alexander started his car, he received a message from Peter.
“Done deal. Zane’s contract is signed. I offered him over ten million dollars more, and he begrudgingly accepted.”
Elizabeth responded with a simple “ok,” and then seemed to drop the matter.
It wasn’t the extra ten million dollars that enticed Zane; he was genuinely curious about who this ‘Aladdin’s Magic Lamp’ really was.
Unfortunately, the mysterious person remained resolute in their anonymity.
Looking at his reflection, Zane murmured to himself, “Could it be they’re interested in my looks?”
Without any support from the Wilson family in the entertainment industry, he had thought about giving up and returning home to inherit the family fortune.
But then, fortune favored him.
What did this mysterious benefactor see in him?
Zane’s anxiousness lasted for what felt like an eternity.
In the car.
“Why are you helping me again?” Elizabeth bluntly asked Alexander.
Alexander glanced at her, “What do you mean?”
“I know you posted on the forum.” Elizabeth’s gaze fixed on Alexander’s chiseled side profile.
Why did he keep assisting her?
This was a novel experience tor Professor Lawrence, who wasn’t used to such favors. She was curious.
“Emily asked me to,” Alexander replied offhandedly, assuming that since Elizabeth had few friends, she’d easily guess it was him.
Emily internally exclaimed, “What?”
“When did I do that?”
Elizabeth nodded, saying, “I owe you another favor.”
Alexander, amused, said, “Then you better work hard.”
Elizabeth pursed her lips, resisting the urge to say, “I might be richer than you.”
About an hour later, they arrived at Williams House. The mansion was massive, easily ten times the size of the Wilson estate.
The barbecue grill had already been set up in the garden by the servants. Emily wanted to experience the joy of grilling herself, so she didn’t ask the servants to prep the ingredients.
She handed a pink apron to Elizabeth, “Elizabeth, let’s do this together.”
After a moment of staring at the pink apron, Elizabeth took it, murmuring, “Okay.”
Alexander didn’t expect them to cook anything good. He remembered that Elizabeth couldn’t cook, and last time, she nearly wrecked the kitchen. He didn’t want his taste buds to suffer.
He turned to leave, but then he saw Elizabeth pick up a slicing knife and take a cucumber, preparing to cut it.
He instinctively frowned, thinking, ‘Wasn’t she cut by a knife and her finger injured last time? Hasn’t she learned her lesson?’
Alexander stepped forward to take the knife away from Elizabeth.
However, before he could do anything, he saw Elizabeth, with a calm expression, skillfully slicing the cucumber with ease—tap, tap, tap…
A perfectly good cucumber was neatly sliced by her, with consistent width as if it had been done by a professional machine.
Alexander’s eye twitched as his gaze fell on Elizabeth, who had a seemingly innocent and harmless face.’
“Hey, little girl.’
“What?” Elizabeth looked up, her expert knife skills still in motion.
So skillful. So deft.
Well, well, well.
Realization hit Alexander. He had been deceived by Elizabeth. All her tales of terrible cooking skills were a lie!
Yet, he wasn’t angry. He felt amused and delighted by the discovery.
Such a sweet little girl playing tricks was quite a rarity.
“Can’t cook, huh? Breaking bowls? Cutting fingers? Making me cook for you?” Alexander’s smile was teasing.
Elizabeth paused momentarily.
The next second.
Her knife hit the chopping board. She looked up with a mischievous face, pretending, “Oops, I made a mistake.”
See? I’m not good at this.
Alexander was speechless.
He wasn’t fooled..
