Chapter 568

Albert listened to Elnora’s answer, letting out a quiet laugh, his gaze distant and aloof.
He said, “You’re right, Ms. Finley.
“There’s no need to fuss over things you’ve known all along.
“Honestly, marrying you feels like a blessing to me.”
Elnora could hear the hint of gritted teeth in Albert’s tone as he spoke.

She fell silent for a moment, glanced at him, and replied with polite detachment, “Meeting you and marrying into the Campbell family is a blessing for me.”
Albert was speechless.
When Elnora spoke, it sounded just like the kind of corporate mutual praise he’d hear during a business negotiation.
Albert quietly sighed to himself and kept his thoughts to himself, saying nothing more.
Albert got up from the couch with a cold expression and walked upstairs.
He worried that if he stayed in front of Elnora any longer, he might not be able to keep his cool.
Elnora glanced at his back as he went upstairs, looking unbothered, and then returned to her magazine.
If she remembered right, in about two weeks, there would be a jewelry gala hosted by a high-end brand.
The place would be filled with famous actors and performers.
The guest list included power players and big names from the social scene.
The main goal was to showcase and sell their exclusive pieces.
Arnetta was so talented that Elnora thought she’d be perfect for a little trial run.
After all, Arnetta was under Supernova Entertainment.
Any jewelry she sold, Supernova would get a share of the profits.
Since Arnetta had made a mistake, she’d have to make up for it by earning some money.
Elnora already had a plan brewing in her mind.
After snapping her magazine shut, she picked up the phone and dialed the luxury brand’s jewelry gala organizers.
Even though Arnetta wasn’t a big name, she had everything she needed to succeed.

Elnora needed to see what Arnetta could really do.
If Arnetta kept working at Supernova without any results, Reese might start questioning her skills.
After Elnora finished making all the arrangements, she put her phone away and went upstairs.
For the next few days, she took it easy at home, focusing on getting better.
She still had the occasional cough, but her condition had improved a lot.
Albert was swamped with work, leaving early and coming home late every day.

Even though they shared the same roof, it was surprising how often they went days without crossing paths.
The weather was nice today, so Elnora sat out in the yard, soaking up the sun.
One of the security guards walked in and said quietly, “Ms. Finley, Ms. Taylor is here.”
Upon hearing the security guard, Elnora glanced up at the gate of Southview Residence.
She spotted Arnetta standing at the entrance, holding a gift bag and a garment bag.
Elnora lowered her gaze and replied in a calm tone, “Let her in.”
The security guard nodded and showed Arnetta into the yard.
Arnetta immediately walked over to Elnora, carrying a gift bag and a garment bag.
She stopped in front of Elnora, a flattering smile on her face.
“Ms. Finley, are you feeling any better?” Arnetta asked.
Elnora nodded and replied in a calm voice, “I’m feeling much better. I’ll probably return to work tomorrow.”
“How about you? Has your hand healed?” she asked, her eyes falling on Arnetta’s hand.
If she recalled, Elnora remembered that Arnetta had injured her hand when they met at the hospital that day.
Arnetta glanced at her hand and said, sounding calm, “It’s nothing serious. It’s almost healed.
“When the rigging wire fell, things got tense, so I instinctively reached for it and ended up getting scratched
Elnora nodded and replied calmly, “It’s a relief the injury wasn’t too bad.
