Chapter 47
After Elizabeth left, Esme immediately pulled out her phone. She dialed a man’s number and demanded, “Have you found the ginseng?”
Who has it?“.
The voice on the other end sounded desperate. “Ms. Russell, I’ve tried everything. I can’t find the ginseng!”
He also wanted to know who had taken it. Whoever it was must be super resourceful!
“You idiot!” Esme stomped her foot, fuming. “You better figure out a way to find that ginseng!”
Lily’s birthday was coming up, and Esme had promised her the ginseng, If she didn’t get it, she’d be a laughingstock. Alexander would definitely think less of her and the Russell family.
“Ms. Russell, I have an idea. What if we place an order with Glory M on the black market?”
Esme bit her lip, Glory M was probably her last shot. She’d followed him before; he was a real mystery! She’d even been a bit obsessed with him, wanting to know who he was, until Alexander came along.
“Do whatever it takes. Get the ginseng before Lily’s birthday! If you don’t, you’ll be out of my sight forever!” With that, Esme slammed the phone down.
She thought, They’re all useless! Can’t even handle a simple task, and yet we’re paying them a fortune!‘
Esme grabbed a bouquet and headed to visit Lily. When she opened the hospital room door, Elara’s face instantly darkened.
“Elara, I’m here to see Lily,” Esme said with a slight smile, sneaking a glance at Alexander, who was on the phone by the window.
Lily’s face darkened when she saw Esme. Elara grabbed her stuff and left; she always avoided talking to Esme.
Esme watched Elara leave, feeling annoyed. She was the eldest daughter of the Russell family, after all. How could Elara keep ignoring her? The Tudor family’s favoritism towards Elizabeth was so obvious!
If it weren’t for Alexander, she wouldn’t waste her time with these clueless Tudors!
Elizabeth was curled up on the sofa, watching the trailer for Lila Parker’s new show, when she got a text from Felix. It was a screenshot of
a chat.
In the image, someone with a black avatar named “L” had sent a message: [Find the ginseng for me, name your price.]
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, thinking this person was so arrogant.
Elizabeth replied: [Reject this person. I won’t let anyone have the ginseng.]
Felix responded: (Okay.]
Felix then rejected the request. The person immediately sent a new message: [Why did you reject me? Can’t Glory M find the ginseng either?].
Felix rolled his eyes. Was this consider it a big deal!

The person kept going: “If you take this job and find the ginseng, my boss will treat you well.”
“Do you know who my boss is? She’s Esme Russell, the eldest daughter of one of the big four families in Lisbun–the Russells!”

Felix paused. Esme?
I messaged again: “Make Ms. Russell happy, and she’ll make sure youre set for life!
Felix snapped a pic of the convo and sent it to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, munching on chips, chuckled. Esme always acted all high and mighty, claiming she had the ginseng and was tight with Glory M.
