Chapter 470


    Samuel gazed at udius. "How did you know that you and Sophia got divorced?"


    "I remembered that we had gone to the City Hall to get our divorce certificate," udius replied.


    Samuel took a sip of his red wine, feeling that Alexander''s question was really putting him in a difficult


    position.


    "So... At that time, you didn''t like Sophia, and when she suggested a divorce, you went along with it,"


    Samuel said, trying to rify.


    "If I didn''t like Sophia, why did I marry her in the first ce?" udius asked, throwing another


    curveball.


    Samuel felt that Alexander had invited him over tonight to y the role of the bad guy. Bringing up


    these old,plicated issues made him feel as though he was betraying Sophia.


    After all, if Sophia didn''t even mention any of this to Alexander, she probably didn''t want to bring it up.


    It''s all in the past, so why bring it up now?


    Although Samuel was sometimes slow to react, it didn''t mean he was stupid.


    When Samuel didn''t say anything, udius asked, "Was there a misunderstanding?"


    "Not exactly," Samuel replied. He looked at udius with mixed emotions. "Have you ever considered


    whether or not Sophia wants you to know about these things?"


    udius furrowed his brows slightly. "Before Sophia left tonight, I asked her a question."


    "What did you ask her?"


    What does this have to do with the current issue?


    "I asked her if she would still be with me if I never remembered the things from the past."

    Samuel raised an eyebrow. "What was her answer?"


    "She said, ''After all, you''re still Alexander.''"


    Samuel was taken aback. He had just been hit with a dose of cheesy public disy of affection.


    "So why didn''t you just ask her about the past directly?"


    "I didn''t want to upset her."


    Samuel was speechless. "I thought you have amnesia, but the way you treat Sophia doesn''t seem like


    it at all!"


    udius red at Samuel. "Will my amnesia affect my feelings for Sophia?"


    I shouldn''t havee here in the first ce!


    Samuel wiped his face, not wanting to continue the topic. He decided to answer udius'' question


    instead. "You married Sophia because she saved your mom—oh, your stepmom, Kristen, whom you


    don''t remember anyway, so let''s not worry about her. You said you would give Sophia money, and she


    originally asked for five million, then ten million, and finally three hundred million. In the end, she asked


    to marry you.


    "Your rtionship with Kristen wasn''t good at that time, and she was always trying to get you to marry


    someone from a family that matched yours better, so you just married Sophia. By the way, I forgot to


    tell you that Sophia kept a really low profile at that time. I mean, even though she was very rich, no one


    knew. So when she married you, everyone in Jadeborough, including you and me, thought she married


    up and was trying to rise up in the Xenos family.


    "You told me that Sophia was too scheming and had a big n. After you got married, you let Sophia


    live in the Xenos residence while you stayed at the condominium. Kristen and your conniving younger


    sister were both schemers. They caused trouble for Sophia during those three years. Later, Sophia


    probably felt disillusioned and asked for a divorce."


    udius looked at his wine ss, lost in thought. "Was I good to Sophia during those three years?"


    Samuel nced at him. "If you were good to Sophia, do you think she would divorce you?"


    udius frowned. "What about you?"


    One couldn''t deny that Alexander had a knack for direct questioning, which was true in the past and


    remained so in the present.


    Samuel rubbed his nose irritably. "You weren''t good to her, so do you think I could be better to her than


    you? Speaking of that, it was you who denied your feelings for Sophia and caused the divorce. Then


    you shamelessly went to her and asked her back afterward, and even I couldn''t look at you with a


    straight face."


    Lowering his head and keeping silent, udius was lost in thought.


    Since hest saw Sophia in Lightspring, he had sporadically remembered some things.


    However, those memories were all fragments, like him and Sophia getting divorced, Sophia pping


    him, or Sophia being with another man.


    Those things were all disjointed, and he couldn''t put together what had happened.


    As Samuel was speaking, he remembered the slip of the tongue he had made at the auction before, so


    he became a bit uneasy and dared not say too much. He lowered his head and drank his sorrows away


    in silence.


    udius pieced together what he had remembered and what Samuel had told him. Now, he had a


    rough outline of what had happened between him and Sophia.


    "What about Kristen? Where is she now?"


    Samuel had never liked Kristen. If it weren''t for Kristen, people wouldn''t have said so much about


    Alexander behind his back when he was a child.


    Now that he knew Kristen wasn''t Alexander''s biological mother at all, he naturally didn''t want to know


    anything more about her.


    However, Kristen was still Alexander''s mother on paper, and she had been Mrs. Xenos for over ten


    years. Although she was kicked out of the family, people still liked to gossip about her.


    Samuel didn''t need to pay attention. He had heard enough about it.


    "She seems to be in prison."


    "In prison?"


    Samuel nodded. "Besides having a younger sister who is not rted to you by blood, you also have a


    younger brother who is the same and a real troublemaker. He was spoiled by Kristen and has done a


    lot of stupid things. Before your ident, Leonard was sued by many people. Kristen worked with your


    cunning and sly uncle, Dillon, to get her son out.


    "But Dillon couldn''tpete with you and Sophia and was also sent to prison. Recently, I heard that he


    has terminal lung cancer and is applying for medical parole. After his family fell apart, Kristen had a


    fallout with him. Leonard was sentenced to more than ten years, and Kristen wanted to reduce his


    sentence. She somehow hooked up with a prison guard, but he denied it afterward and wouldn''t help


    her. Kristen got angry and ended up stabbing him with a knife. Later, she was arrested and is supposed


    to go to court this month. She''ll probably get sentenced to three to five years in prison."


    "Okay," udius responded. "I''ve asked everything I need to. You can go back now."


    Samuel was speechless.


    Is he just using and throwing me away like that?


    Noticing that Samuel was in a daze, udius exined, "I''ve been on a ne for more than ten hours.


    I''m tired."


    Samuel feltforted. "All right, get some rest, then. I''ll make a move."


    After drinking, Samuel couldn''t drive himself back and had to call for a driver.


    He had had too much to drink. ording to the Schild family''s butler, Samuel even hugged a vase and


    wailed, "Alex, it''s great that you''re not dead."


    Samuel cried for most of the night, and the people living in the Schild residence were disturbed by his


    wailing.


    The next day, Samuel slept until almost eleven. When he woke up, he realized that he hadn''t taken a


    shower the night before.


    Hmm, I smell bad all over.


    He quickly took a shower and came out with his stomach growling. Then, he hurried downstairs to find


    something to eat.


    When he saw the dark circles under the butler''s eyes, Samuel clicked his tongue and said, "Jorge,


    you''re getting old. You shouldn''t stay upte. It''s not good for your health."


    Jorge was speechless.


    At this moment, Petunia, the housekeeper, brought some oatmeal, and Samuel saw the dark circles


    under her eyes too. Startled, he nced at the butler again.


    Oh, I was too na?ve.


    However, Samuel soon realized that not only Jorge and Petunia had dark circles under their eyes.


    Even the gardener and the chef didn''t look too good.


    Before leaving, Samuel couldn''t help but ask, "Was there a burr in the housest night? You guys


    don''t look so good. Did you not sleep well?"


    One of the Schild family members who had just returned pped Samuel on the head, took out the


    video he had recordedst night, and said, "Take a look at yourself. You were wailing like a pig. Who


    can sleep through that?"


    After watching the video, Samuel was dumbfounded.
