Chapter 236

Elizabeth had never seen anything wrong with how Bowen introduced her in the past. She used to take pride in being acknowledged as his treats partner, the woman who stood closest to him in both professional and personal circles.

Aubree’s appearance

a business associate.

Elizabeth realize what true intimacy meant to Bowen. The business partner she used to take pride in was nothing more than

Elizabeth straightened up slightly and took a good look at Aubree. ‘She’s young, undeniably pretty, neatly dressed, still in a school uniform. She’s the kind of student both parents and teachers like, ‘she thought.

She remained calm, wearing a polite smile and speaking in a friendly tone, “I’m Elizabeth. Nice to meet you.

Aubree’s eyes flickered. A silent battle began to brew. ‘So, Elizabeth finally sees me as a real rival now?” she thought.

“Aubree,” she replied politely, not even glancing at Ronald standing by the side.

Ronald was fuming. ‘Are you blind? Can’t you see I’m right here? You don’t even say hello?‘ he thought.

Ronald was seething inside, itching to put Aubree in her place right then and there. But on the surface, he still wore a smile, revealing nothing

His eyes shifted slightly, landing on Bowen. ‘Aren’t you just riding on Bowen’s backing? Let’s see how long you can act smug when Bowen stops caring about you,’ he thought.

Aubree flashed an innocent grin, pretending not to catch her sarcasm, and said, “How thoughtful of you to remember all this! Honestly, I almost forgot just how impressive I am.”

Elizabeth choked on her words. “Is this girl genuinely naive or just playing dumb?” she thought,

Aubree’s smile vanished, her eyes turning cold and sharp. “Ms. Lawson, is there something?” she asked.

“If you’re here to make friends and do business together in the future, I’d be happy. But I’m not someone you can push around if you’re looking to create trouble,” she continued.

Elizabeth’s lips tightened slowly as she swept her gaze over Aubree. “I never thought he’d settle for some wet–behind–the–ears little girl like you,” she

said.

Aubree shrugged and said, “Neither did.”

“But what can I do? Even someone like me, just a kid, can make Bowen lower himself to pursue me,” she continued.

“What?” Elizabeth exclaimed. Bowen was close to Aubree lately was not a secret in their circle. Some speculated that Aubree was clinging to a powerful backer, while others believed Bowen simply recognized her potential and was making a preemptive investment.
