Chapter 532

“Alexander, you’re always like this. It’s exactly why you and Elizabeth are in this mess,” Kyle stepped up, frustration clear in his voice. He knew Alexander too well. Only Elizabeth could make him show mercy right now.

“Do you know what I’ve always wanted to tell you?” Kyle moved closer, a smirk playing on his lips.

Alexander just frowned, giving Kyle a blank stare. He wasn’t biting. But Kyle pushed on, “I saw it with my own eyes—the kidnappers tossing Elizabeth into the sea to save your sorry ass.”

Alexander’s head snapped up. Wait, Kyle knew about this? he thought, stunned.

Kyle caught the shock in Alexander’s eyes and chuckled coldly. “Surprised I was there when you got nabbed?” Kyle’s voice was calm, almost mocking.

Alexander was at a loss for words. Why was Kyle there? he wondered.

Kyle saw the tension in Alexander’s eyes and laughed. “Don’t worry, I wasn’t there to save you,” he said, dripping with sarcasm. Kyle had no love for Alexander’s family. He was there to watch the drama unfold, not to play hero. He hadn’t expected to see Elizabeth fighting off the kidnappers, though. From his boat, he watched through a magnifying glass as she was shoved into the water. The sight of her blood spreading across the sea was hauntingly beautiful. The next day, Kyle left the country.

“Alexander, how can someone as smart as you be so dumb?” Kyle’s eyes were full of sarcasm.

‘Love should be about following your heart, right? But Alexander kept hurting the one who truly loved him just because Esme saved him. Does he even deserve to be called a man?’ Kyle thought.

Alexander looked at Kyle, feeling a mix of emotions—frustration and helplessness. He gave a bitter smile, his voice low. “You call me cold. Mr. Brooks, you’re just as cold.”

“You’re my enemy. Even if I told you these things, you wouldn’t believe me. So why bother?” Kyle didn’t want to stir up more trouble. Seeing Alexander’s chaotic life brought him satisfaction. This was exactly what he wanted.

“So, I have no reason to back down, do I?” Alexander’s tone turned icy. Kyle’s hand clenched at his side.

Alexander gave him a cold look, then walked away with Nolan. Before leaving, he told the person in charge, “By five tomorrow morning, get rid of all the trash that doesn’t belong here. Or replace the whole department.”

The person in charge didn’t dare slack off, even with Kyle standing there. He quickly got people to start clearing out Kyle’s goods.

Kyle was livid. He’d only managed to get less than a third of his shipments. It was tough for him to make progress. He knew Alexander had power in Lisbun, but he hadn’t realized just how much.

Kyle watched Alexander’s car drive away, then looked at his goods being taken away, grinding his teeth in anger.
