Chapter 441

“I only let you off the hook because of our old times, man. You really think I can’t handle you?” Alexander stepped up, his perfect face cold and sarcastic. He’d cut Kyle slack over and over. But if Kyle kept pushing his buttons, he wasn’t going to hold back anymore.

“Alexander, don’t come at me with that attitude,” Kyle’s voice turned icy.

Alexander swallowed hard, hearing Kyle say, “That tone only works on Elizabeth. Only an idiot like Elizabeth wouldn’t stand up to you.” Alexander’s frown deepened at Kyle’s mention of Elizabeth.

Alexander thought, ‘Kyle’s way too into Elizabeth. It’s like he knows her better than I do. And he even talks about her like they’re close.’

“Kyle, if you’re thinking about Elizabeth, you better drop it,” Alexander’s eyes grew even colder. If looks could kill, Kyle would’ve been dead a million times by now.

But Kyle stayed defiant. “Oh, really?”

Alexander was super pissed at Kyle’s attitude. The recent stress and the divorce were already weighing him down. And now, look at this annoying Kyle in front of him. Without thinking, Alexander threw a punch. His fist landed hard on Kyle’s face, with so much force it knocked Kyle off balance, sending him sprawling onto the bench.

Kyle had expected Alexander to get physical, given his history of fighting in school. But he hadn’t seen such a brutal punch. Kyle got up, ready to fight back. Alexander immediately pinned his arm, pressing him down onto the bench.

“You’ve never beaten me since we were kids, and you think you can win now?” Alexander sneered at Kyle, his eyes full of mockery. Kyle was furious. In Alexander’s eyes, he seemed insignificant.

Alexander’s expression stayed indifferent. He pointed a finger at Kyle’s face, lowered his voice, and warned, “Don’t mess with Elizabeth—I only say this once.”

Kyle gritted his teeth in anger. “You’re protecting Elizabeth so much… Could it be that you like her?”

“That’s none of your business, and I don’t owe you an explanation,” Alexander’s tone grew harsher.

Kyle laughed. “You do like Elizabeth, but you don’t even realize it yourself. Alexander, do you really love Esme? All these years, you’ve been talking about divorce, but now that you’re actually divorced from Elizabeth… Are you really happy?”

Kyle’s questions hit Alexander right in the heart, one after another. Did Alexander really love Esme? Was he truly happy about divorcing Elizabeth? But Alexander didn’t want to admit that Kyle had guessed his true feelings.

“Shut up,” Alexander said.

“Why should I shut up? If you don’t want me to hurt Elizabeth, then I’ll go after Esme,” Kyle taunted.

Alexander’s expression tightened as he heard Kyle ask, “If I kidnapped both Elizabeth and Esme at the same time, who would you save?” This question reminded Alexander of the time when both Elizabeth and Esme fell down the stairs. Was the person he grabbed the one he wanted to save? Alexander’s expression grew serious. Kyle knew that Alexander cared about Elizabeth.

‘So if I ever want to bring Alexander down, maybe Elizabeth will be a valuable bargaining chip!’ Kyle thought.
