Chapter 43


    While Charles watched the elevator door close, he took out his phone and called Alexander.


    Alexander, who just finished his meeting, frowned when he saw who was calling him. “What''s the


    matter?”


    Due to his divorce from Sophia, Samuel and Charles were constantlyughing at him. If he had to be


    honest, he did not want to receive any calls from either of them at all.


    They would certainly not bear any good news with them, after all.


    To his surprise, all Charles said was, “Alex, do you know what your ex-wife is working as?”


    Alexander froze.


    What does Sophia work as? She seems unemployed, but she''s a top student who studied finance. Still,


    it seems like she has always been in the Xenos residence for thest three years while she had been


    married to me.

    “She doesn''t have a job.”


    “Are you sure?” was all Charles uttered before ending the call.


    Staring at the phone screen, Alexander could not help furrowing his brows.


    In the past, he would be sure of his answer.


    Now, he was not.


    After his divorce from Sophia, Alexander began to realize that he seemed as though he never


    understood her. It was the same as how he did not know Sophia would not be as hysterical as other


    women when she was angry. Instead, she would take her revenge in a calm and collected manner. He,


    too, did not know that she was not as in love with money as he thought she was. At the very least, she


    never asked for anything during their divorce.


    In their three years of marriage, other than the thirty thousand that he had asked Felix to transfer to


    Sophia every month, he never gave her any other money.


    There was once after the divorce when he suddenly went to check that ount''s bnce, and it was


    then he found out that there was a total of one million eighty thousand in there—thirty thousand each


    month for thirty-six months of three years.


    If Sophia did not have a job, how could she possibly not use any of the money he gave her and still


    afford her daily necessities?


    At that very moment, Alexander felt that he had been a blinded fool for three years. Rage flooded his


    senses, and his expression darkened. Then, he summoned Felix with the inte.


    Felix soon entered the room, thinking that Alexander had called him for work matters. To his


    bafflement, Alexander asked, “What did Sophia work as back then?”


    Felix blinked in astonishment before he hesitantly replied, “It seems like Ms. Yarrow doesn''t have a


    job.”


    “Then where does she get her money from?”


    Felix shot a careful nce at Alexander before saying, “Mr. Xenos, Ms. Yarrow is a shareholder of


    Specter Entertainment.”


    Indeed, Alexander only found out after the divorce that his ex-wife turned out to be the chairman of


    Specter Entertainment, which was apany with swift developments in recent years.


    Alexander then waved his hands dismissively. “You can leave.”


    Felix sighed in relief. Just as he was about to turn and leave, Alexander suddenly uttered, “Wait.”


    “Mr. Xenos?”


    “What was with the video yesterday?”


    Felix raised his head to look at Alexander before telling him what he knew. “Ms. Yarrow left after her


    meal. She just had a brief argument. Nothing else happened.”


    Then, Felix hesitated. After he steeled himself, he added, “It seems like Mr. Evan is courting Ms.


    Yarrow.”


    “Evan Conant?”


    “Yes.”


    Alexander scoffed, “Why are you telling me this? Does this have anything to do with me?”


    At that, Felix fell silent.


    I''m an idiot to have told you about it.


    “Mr. Xenos, I''ll take my leave now.”


    “Okay.”


    Alexander gave Felix a cold nce as thetter left.


    The night fell quickly at Jadeborough in November. After seven, the sky was already pitch-ck.


    If not for the sports car parked in front that Sophia spared a few nces at, she would not have seen


    Evan standing by her doorstep.


    By then, Evan had clearly seen her there, for he quickly stopped in front of her car with flowers in his


    hands.


    Sophia raised her brow and wound down her car window. “Anything I can help you with, Mr. Evan?”


    “I was too abrupt yesterday. I''vee to apologize to you today.”


    Tsk. This is the first time I''ve seen someone bring red roses to another''s doorstep to apologize.


    Nevertheless, she gave him a smile. “I wasn''t offended. If there''s nothing else, Mr. Evan, please move


    aside. I''m driving in.”


    The door was already opened, and Sophia''s car was parked right in front of the entrance. She was


    about to drive in, but Evan had bodily blocked her way.


    Evan then raised his hand and nced at his watch. “It''s still early, so why don''t we go out for supper?”


    Sophia recognized the watch on his wrist—it was a ssic mechanical watch of a luxury brand that


    cost more than two million. In other words, his watch was almost as expensive as her car.


    She found his action funny, as it was a lot like a child showing off how many toys he had. However,


    Sophia did not care at all.


    “Let''s not. I don''t eat supper.”


    Still, Evan shamelessly said, “Then I''lle into your house to have a cup of water.”


    The smile on Sophia''s face faded. “There''s a water shortage in my house.”


    “Then I''ll order a drink and have it delivered here. You don''t mind meing for a seat in your house,


    right?”


    “I do.”


    Sophia did not like to waste her time on things like these. After pushing open the car door and getting


    down from the car, she looked at Evan before pointing at her car. “Mr. Evan, I''m sure you recognize this


    car, right?”


    “I do. It''s a limited edition Ferrari model that was releasedst year. There''s only a hundred of this


    model, and it''s more than three million each.”


    Sophia nodded and smiled. “You should know how much a house in Jadeborough costs, right?”


    “I''m not very clear about that, but I do know the real estate prices of this area. It''s around eighty


    thousand. Yours is near water, so this house must cost around fifty million.”


    Evan thought he realized something, and he added, “Do you like cars or houses? I can give you both.”


    Even though fifty million was not a small sum, Sophia was Alexander''s ex-wife, and Evan felt that it


    was worth it.


    However, Sophia lifted a brow in response. “Mr. Evan, I think you''ve misunderstood this. You might not


    know about this, but I bought the car and the house myself.”


    Evan froze. By then, he would be a fool not to understand what Sophia was trying to tell him.


    Then, he thought about how he was trying to unt his watch to her, and that made his face heat up.


    Still, everyone in the upper-ss social circle knew that Alexander''s ex-wife left the marriage without


    asking for anything. Therefore, he refused to believe that she had bought the mansion herself.


    Knowing what he was thinking about, Sophia scoffed, “I have the capability of purchasing ten of these


    mansions, let alone one. So, Mr. Evan, I''d ask you not to waste your time on me because you''ll only


    end up looking—”


    At that, she paused and narrowed her eyes, “—like a fool.”


    Each of her words was like a p on Evan''s face.


    There was no way Evan could stand it, so he snarled, “Sophia, don''t push your luck! You know well


    where your moneyes from. Don''t you dare think that you''re someone reputable just because


    you''ve gained some money from Alexander!”


    Sophia frowned. Right as she was about to respond to him, the sounds of car honks came from her left.


    Instinctively, she turned to the side, only to be blinded by the car lights. A second after she raised her


    hands to shield her eyes, the door to the car opened, and Alexander stepped out of the car.


    Sophia stiffened as a rare wave of surprise washed over her. As she watched Alexander walk toward


    her, she asked in confoundment, “Is something up?”


    Alexander nced at Evan, who was pale from fury. “When has Mr. Evan started enjoying forcing


    others?”


    Others had beenparing Alexander to Evan since Evan was a child. Moreover, Evan always lost in


    theparison. When he was younger, he was often furious about that, butter on, when he found


    out that he was certainly no match for Alexander, he began avoiding Alexander.


    The reason he was so interested in Sophia was mostly due to the fact Sophia was Alexander''s ex-wife.


    What he thought was, If I can conquer the woman Alexander failed to conquer, won''t that mean I''m


    better than Alexander?


    Now that Alexander had appeared, Evan instantly turned cowardly. Still, he stubbornly snapped,


    “You''re the one who enjoys forcing others! It''s natural for men to go after finedies! There''s nothing


    wrong with me courting Ms. Yarrow, so how can you call that forcing her?”


    Then, Evan shoved the bouquet of roses into Sophia''s hands and said, “I''ll contact you another day.”


    Once that was said, he returned to his car and drove off.
