Chapter 243
Nolan stopped and looked at Alexander, worry etched on his face. The news must have been urgent. Alexander pointed at Nolan, started to speak, but hesitated. Usually, Nolan could read Alexander like a book, but not this time. The phone on the table rang—it was Lily. Alexander’s face went pale. He furrowed his brows and weakly said, “Ind this person for me first.” Nolan nodded. Alexander picked up the phone, took a deep breath, and answered.
Lily’s voice was sharp, “Alexander, get home now!” He couldn’t delay. Alexander grabbed his jacket and rushed out. He opened the news app, and it was buzzing about his marital issues with Elizabeth. The divorce wasn’t the main point; it was all about his interactions with Esme over the past three years. All the photos Esme posted on social media matched up with him. The focus shifted from Esme giving fake saffron to her being a mistress. Esme was suddenly in the spotlight!
Alexander opened the car door and tossed his phone onto the passenger seat. Netizens were cursing Esme. From the saffron incident to now, it all seemed like a setup! Elizabeth’s face popped into Alexander’s mind. He thought, ‘Is it Elizabeth? She’s the only one who could frame Esme like this. She’s been waiting for this moment, hasn’t she? From the moment she decided to divorce me, nothing has been simple.’ Alexander gripped the steering wheel, his mind in chaos. He didn’t dare to stop and hurried back to the Tudor family.
The atmosphere in the Tudor Mansion was tense. As soon as Alexander entered the living room, he saw Lily on the sofa. Elara was beside her, helping her. Even Blake, who rarely got involved, was there. This was serious. They all stared at Alexander intensely. He held his breath, unsure what to say.

“Kneel down!” Lily shouted. Alexander furrowed his brows. “Grandma,”
“I said, kneel down!” Lily glared at him, her heart racing, her tone sharp.
Elara quickly supported Lily. “Mom, don’t get worked up! Remember what the doctor said?”
Alexander looked at Blake for help. Blake turned away, refusing to look at him. Alexander was silent for a moment. Seeing Lily’s glare, he had no choice but to kneel. “Grandma.”
Lily immediately turned on the TV. The reporter’s voice filled the room, “Alexander and Esme have met privately multiple times. Esme has posted numerous intimate moments with Alexander on social media. It is suspected that Alexander has been cheating for a long time. Reviewing the past three years of Alexander and Elizabeth’s marriage, the number of times they appeared together can be counted on two hands. Alexander has publicly argued with Elizabeth multiple times for Esme!”
Alexander stared at the news report on TV. The reporter spoke righteously, with pictures and videos, including the recent incident where Elizabeth pushed Esme into the pool, and he pulled Esme out, leaving Elizabeth struggling in the pool alone. Alexander silently clenched his fist and then lowered his head.
“Did you really sign the divorce agreement with Elizabeth?” Blake asked, confused.
Alexander looked at Blake, hesitated, then nodded. “Yes.”
“You really want to divorce Elizabeth and marry Esme, don’t you?” Blake pressed.
