Chapter 33
Kieran, seeing Alexander was clueless, pulled out his phone.
He had a screenshot ready. "Joseph visited the Percy family with his dad. Rumor has it you and Elizabeth are long divorced!" he read out loud.
Alexander's brow furrowed, eyes locking on Kieran. Kieran cleared his throat and continued, "Joseph and Landon visited the Percy family. Joseph and Elizabeth's wedding date is coming up!"
Kieran felt a pang of guilt.
The media was really pushing it with these stories!
He glanced at Alexander. The room was dim, and Alexander's icy vibe made him seem even more untouchable.
After hearing the two news pieces, the vibe around him got even heavier.
"The third one..." Kieran touched his nose, glancing at Alexander like, "You want me to keep going?"
Alexander gritted his teeth. "Go on!" He was dying to see what other crap these shady media outlets had cooked up.
"The third one is..." Kieran mumbled, "Mr. Tudor had an affair with Esme during his marriage, and they have a deep relationship."
Kieran stepped aside and pocketed his phone. Alexander glared at him, eyes darkening like he wanted to smash that phone to bits.
"Alexander, the first two are kinda made up. But this third one..." Kieran pouted, not daring to say more. He thought what the news reported appeared to be true.
With a cold face, Alexander pulled out his phone and scrolled through various entertainment apps.
The news homepage wasn't showing him and Esme, but Elizabeth and Joseph.
Comments from netizens were below.
[They look pretty good together.]
[Did Elizabeth really divorce Alexander? I always thought he treated her badly. Good for her! A beauty shouldn't be wronged!]
[I agree! A beauty shouldn't be wronged like that. Mr. Stewart is her true match!]
Alexander gripped his phone tightly and immediately called Nolan. "Delete all news about my divorce with Elizabeth from the internet, now!"
"Yeah, Mr. Tudor."
After hanging up, Alex shot a quick message to a buddy on Facebook Messenger.
A few minutes later, his friend sent back two photos and a text.
[Tonight, the Stewarts and the Percys had dinner. Joseph's about to take Ms. Percy home.]
"Alex, Elizabeth and Joseph look pretty good together!" Kieran couldn't help but comment.
Alex gave him a cold stare, feeling annoyed.
Kieran shrugged, throwing an arm around Alex's shoulder. "Dude, Elizabeth's your ex now. Who she’s with is none of your business."
Alex shrugged off Kieran's arm, irritation bubbling up.
He downed his drink, catching a glimpse of the photo on his phone.
It was Elizabeth and Joseph.
Elizabeth was looking up at Joseph, smiling and chatting away.
Alex frowned, his throat tightening, the strong liquor burning his stomach.
She used to look at him like that. No matter how badly he treated her, she always smiled when he showed up.
She'd scheme against Esme, and he'd defend Esme. They'd argue like crazy.
But when they met again, she'd act like nothing happened, smiling and saying, "Alex."
Thinking about it made his heart ache, like ants crawling inside, making him restless.
"If Percy and Joseph get engaged, I better get an invite," Kieran said, rubbing his chin.
Alexander wanted to punch him.
