Chapter 166 - Her Plan Would Actually Work (1/2)
The next day at Imperial Garden Plaza
Elizabeth just came back from the meeting with the upcoming movie, when Jackie came running out of the door to greet her. ”Babes, I miss you…”
Elizabeth looked at the Jackie who was squeezing her to death, she wonders what she wants from her?
”What do you want?”
Jackie pushed herself away from Elizabeth, angered by what she just heard and replied. ”My gosh Elizabeth Knightley, I am not that type of person who wants something from you. Plus…”
Elizabeth frowned and stared coldly at the girl, ”Come on, spit it out…”
Jackie went and embrace the girl again as she handed a piece of paper to her. ”Here...”
Elizabeth grabs the piece of paper and started reading it, it was an image of a private villa, its location and other detail information. ”You want to go to the beach...”
Jackie nodded innocently hoping the girl would agree.
”Sure, no problem… I'm free for a while to spend time with you and everyone.” Elizabeth stated, as she folded the paper away and returned it to the girl.
Jackie said nothing and kept to herself. She did not expect her plan would actually work, she just hopes she won't break her bones when she finds out.
”Let's go shopping then for some swimsuit.”
Elizabeth could not help it but smile, she really does not understand why they needed to go shopping when she probably has hundreds of swimsuit and clothes that she has not worn yet.
”Fine, I'll get the car ready.”
...
Fashion Island
Jackie's eyes expanded as she gazed around at the extravagant well-established mall. ”Liz, doesn't your dad owns this mall.”
Elizabeth ponders of a moment and then nodded, ”Yeah, the mall went bankrupt 5 years ago and my dad brought it. Now, it's back on track and is even making almost the same income as Lotus Mall Complex. Despite its size and the shop inside aren't that high class. Fashion Island can really catch up with Lotus Mall Complex since it's friendly to everyone. Unlike Lotus Mall Complex, which is a luxury type of mall.”
Jackie suddenly became curious about something. ”Your Knightley family does own a lot of business in China then? What about your Zhao family?”
Elizabeth contemplates for a moment in how she should explain things to Jackie since they've never talked about such topics before. ”The Knightley family does have more investment projects than the Zhao since they are mainly in politics and military. However, my late grandmother's family was into business too, but more in education and music. From what I know the Zhao family started establishing a university, a shooting range and a few musical halls since then.”
”Ah… That Grand Royal Theater right?” Jackie answered.
Elizabeth nodded amazed that the girl knew about it. ”Yup, my grandmother was an amazing pianist and plays the Chinese zither as well. Not only that, her mother and grandmother before too were musicians. The theater here in China is the oldest, but they have a few around the world as well.”
