Once dressed, Ella followed hastily, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she remembered that Alexander had seen her breasts in full view.
But the thought of the ring only deepened her distress.
"Alexander, please give me that ring... It's of no use to you anyway," Ella pleaded, glancing at Alexander.
"No, I need to study this ring," Alexander replied.
"Study? How long will you study it? Can you give it to me after you're done?" A hopeful gleam flickered in Ella's eyes.
"Of course, I can give it to you after I'm done studying it, but it might take a very long time," Alexander said nonchalantly.
Ella's expression fell in an instant.
"Alexander, do you know how much this ring is worth?" Ella asked desperately, stamping her foot. "It's worth fifty thousand gold coins! Just give me the ring, and as soon as I hand it over to my employer, I can get fifty thousand! I can share five thousand with you! No, ten thousand!"
