Chapter 4

"The money-loser has grown up and learned to elope with men, right?!"

A steel pipe as thick as an arm was swung towards me, and Alexander stepped in front of me to block it.

He pressed me tightly under him, depriving me of my sight. All I could feel was the increasingly thicker smell of blood in the air.

When Alexander was taken to the ambulance, his eyes narrowed in pain and his voice was weak.

"Yes, I like you."

"Will you stay with me?"

Father was sentenced to three years for intentional injury.

Alexander still had nails in his hands when he went to school at Metropolis.

After graduation, we decided to start a business and shared a bowl of porridge in a small basement.

My courage was divided between the night when I escaped with him, the time when I confessed my love to him in the ambulance, and the time when I insisted on starting a business despite knowing the difficulties.

So now I see the photos Sophia sent me.

I don't have the courage left to face it.

The young man who ate porridge and side dishes with me eventually got lost in the world of sex and pleasure.

It took a week to pack up my daughter's and my things.

Alexander didn't come home during this period, but I never stopped hearing about him.

Alexander took Sophia to a business banquet, and they held hands throughout the whole process to show their intimacy.

He bought a whole line of new products from a luxury brand just to make Sophia smile.

According to the press release, Alexander booked the top floor of the Orchid Hotel, and after having dinner with Sophia, they watched a whole fireworks show that belonged only to them on the terrace.

Heart paralysis causes dull pain.

Alexander's high-profile behavior during this period has successfully made the headline "Alexander Group President suspected of divorce" stay at the top of the hot list for a long time.

There are many comments below.

[If I were President Alexander, I would also choose an assistant. Youth is an asset.]

[They dared to appear in the public eye like this, they might have divorced long ago. ]

[I wanted to say this before, Mrs. Alexander aged a lot after giving birth.]

[Still a good match for the assistant. ]

An entertainment reporter once reported that Alexander and I were about to get divorced.

Before the manuscript was sent out, Alexander intercepted it.

After making that reporter apologize publicly, his name was never seen in the news again.

Alexander knows that I care, and he pays special attention to every movement on the Internet.

Now it feels like the curtain has fallen on our marriage early.

I arrived at my workstation and saw a mountain of documents on my desk.

I took a week off and Alexander didn't ask about my whereabouts.

I pushed the documents aside and called my assistant.

When the legal director's badge was hung around her neck, Mary's pupils dilated.

"I will transfer the authority to you later."

"Tell the company system not to transfer documents that Alexander doesn't have time to approve to the legal department."

"Sister Evelyn, you wouldn't really always..."

"Yeah." I pursed my lips, "We're done."

After dealing with all the piled up documents, I went to the top floor with the divorce agreement.

As I got out of the elevator, I could hear a group of people laughing and talking from a distance.

"Sophia, you are so low-key. I heard everything from Mary today."

"Yes, no one else can be Mrs. Alexander except you."

"All that's left is to officially announce your identity. We're all waiting for that day when you'll come to protect us."

Sophia sat in the assistant seat with a big smile on her face.

Seeing me, she said without any surprise, "Sister Evelyn, are you looking for Mr. Alexander?"

A week later, Alexander's office was filled with all kinds of mannequins and women's dresses.

Sophia smiled at me and said, "Boss Alexander is taking me to a dinner party today."
