Chapter 895 Elizabeths Plot (1/2)

”Aright then. I guess I'll let you and Kirk decide about this. But you two love birds have lived outside the country for too long, so you might not be very familiar with all of these. I'll give you my suggestions. Let me see...” said Sara, her brows knitted in concentration as she looked at the options on the table. Her eyes scanned box after box, until one caught her attention. ”This one would do,” she said, pointing a finger to the fanciest and most expensive-looking one among the others.

Elizabeth's next words came as a surprise to Jean. ”Mother, wouldn't that be a little too expensive?” she asked. She bit her lower lip, as if she was hesitant and conflicted with Sara's pick.

Jean almost choked at the unexpected response.

She didn't know much about Elizabeth's family, but she knew she was no commoner. The way she carried herself and the luxury brands of her clothes and bags were telling of what kind of family she came from, so Jean couldn't believe her ears when she heard Elizabeth say that the gift box was too expensive.

She shifted her gaze back and forth from Elizabeth and Sara, not fully understanding what was happening, ”Silly you. Your wedding would only happen once in your lives. Nothing is too expensive,” Sara replied to Elizabeth with a smile.

Elizabeth did not have to worry about the cost of the wedding at all, seeing how Kirk's parents would definitely shoulder the expenses.

That possibility did not add up, so it was very unlikely for it to be the case. Turning to other options, Jean could not help but wonder what was in this for Elizabeth.

She racked her brains in searching for an explanation to the strange turn of events, but she arrived at no solid conclusions. Finally, she gave up and sighed in her head.

”Mother, I forgot to tell you. They sent the accessories here this morning. I'm not really sure they're to my taste,” pouted Elizabeth. She was obviously turning the charm on, as she continued, ”I think there are a few flaws with the style. They don't really match me well. You know me, Mother. I want everything to be perfect.”

Jean's eyes widened as she looked at Elizabeth. Elizabeth made Sara meet her needs in subtle ways earlier, but right now, she was blatantly asking Sara to spend money on her.

Jean's shock just doubled at what Sara said next. With fond eyes, the older woman turned to her and sa
