Chapter 514
As angry as Ernesto was, he still had to resolve the problem first. He called Ronald.
Ronald knew clearly that the cooperation between Wilson Group and Diamonde Group couldn’t break down just yet, so he couldn’t divorce Alice for now.
Ronald said, “I won’t divorce, but from now on, she and I will live separate lives. I won’t interfere in what she does, but deal with that man.”
He didn’t know why, but even though he’d never met the man in the photos, he instinctively disliked him.
Back when Alice had run away from the wedding, Xander had pretended to be hotel staff and helped her escape. Plus, the Diamonde family had deliberately hidden Alice’s past relationship, so Ronald didn’t even know Xander’s name. He only vaguely knew Alice had a lover who supposedly died.
What Ronald didn’t expect was that before Alice could deal with the man who cuckolded him, that man showed up himself.
The next morning, when Ronald arrived at the company, the receptionist told him someone wanted to see him. He was a handsome young man.
Ronald instantly thought of the man in the photos.
When the secretary led Kyler into the office, Ronald’s expression darkened. “You’ve got some nerve showing up here."
Compared to Ronald looking sternly in his executive chair, Kyler looked quite casual in his hoodie and jeans.
Kyler said, “I’m here with a purpose, of course.”
Ronald sneered. “You’re not afraid I’ll have you thrown out?”
Kyler replied. “If you wanted to beat me up, you wouldn’t have agreed to meet me."
“Besides, what I have to say… you’ll be glad to hear it.” Kyler smiled, showing his teeth.
Ronald was so angry that his whole body shook. Just seeing Kyler made his blood boil.
He said. “Speak.”
Kyler responded, “I plan to leave your wife.”
That did surprise Ronald. “You’re willing?”
Kyler said, “Of course I’m not willing. That’s why I came to you, Mr. Wilson.”
Ronald understood now. “You want money."
Kyler nodded. “Yes. If the hush money is good, my lips will be sealed. But if not… Well, I wouldn’t mind telling the world I stole Ronald’s woman.”
Ronald was on the verge of losing control. He wanted nothing more than to tear this man apart. 1.5 million dollars.
He even suspected that the photos had been sent by Kyler himself, just to make Ronald dump Alice and pay him off.
However, Kyler said, “3 million dollars.”
“Don’t push it!” Ronald snapped.
“8 million dollars for your reputation, Mr. Wilson. Isn’t your good name worth that much?” Kyler shot back.
Ronald clenched his fists. His back was ramrod straight like a beast ready to strike. “2.5 million dollars. If you don’t take it, I don’t care if the news gets out. Just don’t be surprised if you end up dead in a ditch one day.”
Ronald’s eyes were deadly serious.
Kyler knew when to quit. He nodded. “Deal. As soon as the money comes in, I’ll vanish from her life.”
As Kyler left the office, he brushed past Bryan. He didn’t notice, but Bryan glanced at him curiously. He didn’t recognize the man.
Ronald moved fast. He used his personal funds, and as soon as Kyler exited the Wilson Group building, he got the transfer notification.
True to his word, Kyler returned to his apartment and quickly packed.
Just as Alice was still stressing over how to explain things to Kyler, her phone chimed. It was a message.

Chapter 514
[Thank you, Mrs Wilson, for your care during this time. But I think we should end our relationship here. I don’t want to lie to you anymore. Actually, I was sent by Ms. Miller to approach you. She’s also the one who exposed our affair to your husband. I can’t keep up the act.]
After sending the text, Kyler yanked out the SIM card and tossed it.
