Chapter 653
When Lila returned, Elizabeth had already left. Kieran overheard the conversation between Elizabeth and Alexander. He approached Alexander, his gaze somewhat complicated. He had seen him in countless forms, but never had he seen him trying so hard to please someone. Alexander was even willing to give Elizabeth fifteen percent of his shores and even asked her what else she wanted. This made Kieran see Alexander in a new light—that he was really serious this time.
Meanwhile, Alexander told Kieran that what you can’t have is always the best. “Alexander, go home and rest early,” Kieran said, unsure how to comfort him. The relationship between Alexander and Elizabeth was too complicated. Alexander felt that they would be entangled for a while. “I think you’ve been too tired lately,” Kieran added.
Alexander sat on a high chair; his eyes were indeed very red. He was clearly not as carefree and dashing as before. Back then, he had a commanding presence wherever he went, an oppressive aura that kept people at a distance. Now, he seemed completely defeated.
“To be honest, this situation that I can’t control really exhausts me,” Alexander said sincerely to Kieran. He was used to having everything under his control. But now, he was nothing. “Alexander, let it go if you can’t get Elizabeth. Life always has some regrets,” Kieran comforted him. Alexander shook his head; he wanted Elizabeth to come back.
“I heard everything you said. Alexander, Elizabeth really doesn’t love you anymore,” Kieran said. When a woman starts looking at you coldly and only asks for money, it means she’s completely given up.
Elizabeth asked for fifteen percent of the shares, not for Alexander’s love or to marry him! In the past, whenever Elizabeth looked at Alexander, her eyes were always full of admiration and tender love.
“Wake up. The end of the year is coming, and there’s a lot to do at the company. Don’t ruin your health.” If Kieran hadn’t seen Elizabeth’s attitude before, he might have encouraged Alexander to persist. But now that he had seen her attitude, he could only advise Alexander to give up. Elizabeth only had indifference left for Alexander.

From Kieran’s perspective, Alexander had no chance at all. “Is the company important?” A cold smile appeared on Alexander’s face. “Isn’t the company important? Be careful; if you don’t win her back, your hard-earned business empire might be destroyed!” Kieran’s voice grew louder, his tone particularly serious. “Because you are Alexander, you can still pursue Elizabeth. If one day you become an ordinary person, what capital will you have to pursue Elizabeth then? If you don’t even have a company, and Elizabeth asks for money, what will you do then?”
Alexander could now give Elizabeth fifteen percent of the shares just by saying so, but what if there were no company shares? Alexander laughed. Kieran indeed woke him up with his scolding. “Then I could only turn to you,” Alexander said to Kieran. Kieran was speechless. “Among all of us, you are the most capable. Don’t degrade yourself; I look down on you!” He snorted coldly and went to find someone else.
