Chapter 522

Meanwhile, in Beauty DR main headquarters . . .

Lexi could not focus anymore after seeing the video . Although she already confirmed to her husband that the man wasn’t him – and she trusted him a hundred percent, it still bothered Lexi .

“Laurel Wang . . . ” Lexi whispered the woman’s name . She never realized it until today that that woman had this inexplicable aura back in Ethan Lu’s event .

The way Laurel Wang looked at her husband and acted as if she was privileged to be treated differently by him . . . Lexi didn’t notice it back then . But now that she refreshed her memory, it came differently to her .

It was no doubt Laurel Wang’s eyes bore covetous intentions . Lexi knew, because once in her life, she bore those very eyes .

Back when she was dead in love with Morris Liu — the man she thought that she owned . The time when she eyed Mia Chen as someone who couldn’t stand on the same ground as hers, and someone undeserving with Morris Liu’s affection .

Therefore, Lexi’s concern heightened . A woman with that kind of strong belief was dangerous . She felt that she could do anything in the name of love — even doing extreme measures to attain her objectives .

“Nico, can you find out Laurel Wang’s schedule? The senator’s daughter . ” Lexi pressed the telephone that connected to Nico Zhuang’s post, and she ordered .

Nico Zhuang, although baffled by the sudden requests, responded with a stern “alright,” . Since he has access to Lu Corporation intelligence, knowing this would be an easy task .

However, Nico Zhuang was intrigued . He heard one or two things about this senator’s daughter from Lyrick Jiang . Well, Ethan Lu’s assistant often shared gossip with them in spite of not asking him .

Still, whether or not Nico Zhuang wanted it, the information registered in his mind . Therefore, he somehow got the gist of it . But why so sudden?

Regardless of the questions in his mind, Nico Zhuang paused all works related to Beauty DR and executed to find out Laurel Wang’s schedule . Not just that, but also, he contacted few members of his squad to confirm the said woman’s location .

Surely, the raise he received from Lexi was all worth it . Nico Zhuang was WORTH IT!

Hours later . . .

“Madam,” Nico Zhuang meekly called out as he glanced on Lexi’s back . Currently, Lexi was shopping right after they left the office .

Sure, he knew why they were here . After all, Laurel Wang was scheduled to have attended a dinner in one of these fancy restaurants . However, his concern was that Lexi seemed to enjoy shopping — forgetting the reasons why they were there .

“Follow me,” Ignoring him, Lexi nearly skipped her steps towards the luxury retail jewelry shop . Nico could only let out a faint sigh as he followed the gleeful young madam while he carried several boxes in different sizes .

As soon as Lexi entered the grandiose boutique, she was courteously greeted by a sales representative .

“New collection?” Giving the lady a side glance, Lexi smiled as she turned her pair of sparkling eyes and paced towards the glass display cabinet .

“Yes,” The lady offered a warm smile as she assisted Lexi . Since Lexi was still famous and whenever she would make a public appearance, Lexi would still make it to the headlines — the salesperson treated Lexi with high regard .

Although there had been rumors that were still left unanswered regarding her love life, the sales representative remained professional .

“This looks pretty . . . ” Stopping at a particular glass display cabinet, Lexi caressed the glass as if stroking the white gold floral necklace that has a diamond pendant .

The lady smiled, “You have great eyes, Miss Yang . ” However, right after, her smile slowly vanished and was replaced by an apologetic frown . “But a client already reserved it . ”

“That’s sad to hear,” Lexi still offered her an understanding smile, showing she wasn’t displeased .

Well, it was her fault for not making an appointment here . Fortunately, they still accepted walk-in clients as the owner of the shop has her reasons — which Lexi was uninterested about .

Seeing that Lexi wasn’t displeased and still looked at the other display, the lady sighed in relief . After all, it was her fault for not pulling the display out earlier today .

With that, the lady prompted to pull out the display to not cause a problem, if other clients that might take a liking on it . It would be a huge problem, especially with their elites client who has the wealth to flaunt .

However, just as she carefully withdrew the said jewelry piece, a loud voice of a woman caught her and Lexi’s attention .

“Hey! What are you doing?!” Stella Du stomped her way towards Lexi’s standpoint, altering her gaze from Lexi to the sales representative when she stopped — her hands on her waist as her brow arched at its peak .

In her perspective, the clerk would let Lexi try the luxury piece, although it was already reserved by someone else .

“N—no, ma’am . I—” Upon seeing Stella Du’s infuriated front, the lady clerk stuttered but was interrupted midway .

“What? I caught you in the act! Where’s your manager?!” Sounding as if they committed a grave crime, Stella Du went hysterical .

Meanwhile, Nico Zhuang who was resting on one lounge darted his eyes from Lexi to the woman walking behind Stella Du, Laurel Wang . He studied Lexi’s unsurprised side profile, and then it came to him that Lexi expected this .

But how?

“Miss Du, you’re as lively as ever . ” Lexi sweetly smiled at the fuming Stella Du . She then glanced at the noble mien of Laurel Wang as the latter placed her gentle hand on Stella Du’s shoulder .

“Stella,” Laurel Wang softly called, and she mildly shook her head . “I am sure there has to be a misunderstanding here . ” As expected from a politician’s daughter, and government personnel, Laurel Wang was a humble, understanding person . . . or so, what she was portraying .

“Hmph! You are lucky Miss Wang is kind!” Calming down a little, Stella Du spat and glared at the lady clerk before she scoffed at the sight of Lexi .

“Miss Yang, it’s a pleasure to meet you here . ” Laurel Wang then shifted her gaze to the smiling eyes of Lexi . She smiled gently as if she was more motherly than mother earth .

“Me too,” Lexi responded sweetly, they could not see a stain of negativity in her eyes .
