Chapter 370
The sound of someone showering echoed from the bathroom.
Elizabeth peeked in, then casually shut the door.
The water stopped, and a voice called out, “Is that Ms. Percy?”
Elizabeth answered and kept scoping out the room.
After making sure there were no cameras or other people, she asked Where’s SerenityLeaf?”
“It’s been sold. My assistant is bringing it,” Louis replied, sounding a bit on edge.
Elizabeth squinted. A moment later, she saw Louis stepping out of the bathroom.
Louis spread his arms and grinned. “Darling, thanks for coming!”
Elizabeth felt a wave of nausea but kept it cool. She just waited for SerenityLeaf.
Louis poured two glasses of wine and then asked, “How about a shower?”
Elizabeth smiled, dodging the question, “Do I look dirty to you?”
Louis quickly shook his head. No way he thought Elizabe
was dirty
He moved closer and wrapped his arm around her
Just as Louis was about to get closer, Elizabeth pressed her fingers against his chest and pushed him back.
“I want to see SerenityLeaf,” she said bluntly.
She thought, ‘Louis wants to touch me without showing SerenityLeaf first? In his dreams!‘
“Why be so goal–oriented? What’s the fun in that?” Louis grumbled.
“I want to see SerenityLeaf,” Elizabeth repeated.
Louis felt like she was killing the vibe. “Are all people from Lindell Harbor like you?”
Elizabeth smiled and coaxed him, “I’m being responsible for both of us, Mr. Newman. We’re here for a deal, right?”
Elizabeth wanted SerenityLeaf, and Louis wanted her. So, the rules had to be clear.
Louis snorted.
Elizabeth spoke gently, ‘Once I see SerenityLeaf, I’ll serve you right away. Mr. Newman, you’re so handsome and charming. I’m lucky to serve you.” She lied through her teeth.

A few sweet words made him happy.
Louis sighed, spread his hands, and said “AL

Chapter 370
He went to get his phone to call his assistant.
Elizabeth stood behind him, patting the places he had touched.
Louis turned to her, feeling puzzled.
Elizabeth smiled and made a gesture as if she was about to undress.
Louis stared at her. When the call connected, he asked in a relaxed tone, “Did you get the SerenityLeaf?”
There was silence on the other end for a couple of seconds. Louis frowned, “What? Damn it!”
Elizabeth stepped forward and vaguely heard the person on the other end say, “This item was bought by someone else.”
“Who bought it?” Louis cursed, “You useless fool. You couldn’t even get the SerenityLeaf!”
The person on the other end couldn’t explain because the buyer hadn’t registered their identity.
Louis was furious and yelled, “Useless!”
He hung up the phone.
Elizabeth sighed. Louis calls others useless. But isn’t he also useless
Louis turned to Elizabeth, about to speak.
Elizabeth directly took out a dagger and stabbed Louis in the stomach.
Louis’s eyes widened instantly, looking at her in disbelief.
Elizabeth smiled and said, “I heard that in Nyxonia, carrying a gun isn’t illegal. This shouldn’t be illegal either, right?”
Blood trickled from Louis’s mouth.
Elizabeth leaned in slightly, speaking dangerously, “Louis, consider this a warning. Respect women, or you’re done.”
With that, she pulled the dagger out.
