Chapter 1071

The butler nodded in agreement. "Yes, you're right, sir. It was our negligence that Mrs. Margaret lost

her ring under our watch. If I may, sir, have you found the ring?" Then the butler sighed in relief when

he saw the ring in Ralph’s hand.

Ralph nodded. "Yeah, I found it. I'll bring this to my mother immediately. You should clean this place

and check if anything else is missing. You might even be able to find something. Also, you guys should

improve your security here. This time it was my mother. What if it was someone else next time?"

"Yes, of course! We’ll do better next time," the butler assured Ralph politely. Ralph was delighted with

the butler's attitude, so he did not continue to make things difficult for him. Moreover, he already had

what he had come for and was excited.

He could not wait to leave. "Good, now I’ll be leaving. Take the time to reflect on your shortcomings!"

The butler smiled politely, his hands crossed before him while sending Ralph off. The smile on the

butler's face entirely disappeared when Ralph left.

Meanwhile, Margaret was dragging Lily into different stores in the shopping mall. She would choose a

few pieces of clothing when they entered one and make Lily try them on. After trying about three sets,

Lily refused to try anymore as she was exhausted.

Margaret even wanted Alexander to try a few on, but Alexander’s clothes were typically custom-made,

and he had refused to give in to her. So, Margaret ended up dropping the idea.

The old lady paid for everything Lily had tried and planned to go to a jewelry store for their next stop,

but Lily stopped her, "It’s okay, Grandmother. You've already got me so many things, and I can’t accept

any more."

"Nonsense! You shouldn’t say that, or others would think the Russells can’t even afford to go shopping!

These are my gifts to you, so don’t worry about it!" Margaret said.

"Grandmother, aren’t you going to ask about your ring?" Alexander finally spoke.

"Ralph is already looking for it, no? Even if I lost it, it would be in your house. Since that’s the case, I

stopped panicking. Let’s continue our shopping while waiting for news from Ralph. I’m feeling peckish.

Why don't we grab something light to eat?"

Margaret paused and looked forward. 'There's a cafe over there. Why don't you two accompany me for

a cup of coffee?"

Lily and Alexander glanced at each other and knew Margaret was trying to buy time. Still, they chose

not to expose her.

"Sure," Alexander said, "Lily, why don't you grab a seat with Grandmother? There's a phone call I need

to take first."

"What call is so important? It's your day off, so let those at the office settle that instead. Why are they

always calling you about small issues?" Margaret said in haste.

Alexander took out his phone and explained, "It's something that has to do with our work. It won't take

long."

"All right, we'll wait for you inside. Hurry." Margaret relaxed when she heard it was about work.

Alexander took the call as Lily and Margaret walked into the cafe. The caller on the other side said,

"Sir, he left."

"All right," Alexander replied and hung up. Then he turned and looked toward the cafe.

Lily and Margaret were seated next to the window, and he could see that Margaret was talking on the

phone. Her eyes were glancing around, unfocused. When her gaze met Alexander’s, she was stunned

and broke the gaze immediately.

Alexander smiled slightly and entered the cafe. When he approached their table, he could hear

Margaret saying, "Fine, fine. Just come over. What's taking you so long?!" She finished and hung up.

"What's wrong? Who made you angry?" Alexander asked as he took a seat across them.
