Chapter 775

That sentence instantly shattered all of Esme’s fantasies, the fantasy of ever meeting Alexander. It meant he never cared about anything that had happened between them.

“Is this your revenge on me? If it is, then you succeeded,” Fame laid with a bitter smile.

“Ms. Russell, you’re not worth my revenge,” Alexander said, stabbing out his cigarette. His movements were rigorous, his expression indifferent and unrestrained.

Nolan quickly reached out to take the cigarette butt. Glancing at Esme, he threw the butt into the trash can, as if discarding Esme herself, not just the cigarette. With the cigarette finished, the farce ended. Alexander waved his hand lightly.

“Ms. Russell, you are under arrest,” Remy stepped forward, and two people immediately restrained Esme. This time, Henry couldn’t say a word. He couldn’t protect Esme anymore. Esme could act recklessly, and the Russell family could clean up after her. But if she implicated the Russell family, there was nothing he could do.

Esme’s gaze turned to Henry, her eyes pleading for help. Henry turned his head away, silent. After a moment, he left. Esme’s pupils contracted; what did Henry mean by this? Was he abandoning her?

“Henry,” Esme called out. Henry didn’t look back; he quickly got into the car and left. Esme’s heart sank into complete despair. When she was being taken to the police car, she saw the cold, harsh look in Alexander’s eyes as he looked at her. He was so cruel. He wanted to take everything from her.

Exasperated, she hit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. “Alexander!” she screamed hysterically, “Just love! What did I do wrong?!”

People around watched the scene, shaking their heads helplessly. Loving the wrong person was like this. Elizabeth also loved Alexander; what had she done wrong? Why did he have to be targeted by Esme again and again? Mexander looked at her indifferently, not saying a word. Esme desperately wanted an answer to her question, but she couldn’t get one. Nolan gave Remy a look, and Esme was taken away.

With the police car gone, the company entrance suddenly became quiet. The videos recorded by onlookers on their phones ended, and everyone posted them on Instagram. Esme’s line, “I just love you, what did I do wrong?” became a phrase widely mocked by internet users. Various posts instantly sent Esme to the top of the trending list, but there was also criticism.

Internet User A: [There’s nothing wrong with Esme loving Alexander, but her methods are too despicable. Why is she acting so…?]

Internet User B: [Just because Esme loves Alexander, does Elizabeth have to be the sacrificial one?]

Internet User C: [The more hysterical Esme gets, the more I feel for Elizabeth. I can’t even imagine how much Elizabeth, Alexander’s ex-wife, has suffered over the past three years!]

Internet User D: [Alexander isn’t a good person either! Whether it’s marriage or a relationship, he’s a jerk! Alexander broke the hearts of two women! He deserves it!]
