Chapter 513

Kieran was deep in thought. “How’s Alexander supposed to face Elizabeth? And what about the fact that she saved him? And seriously, what are his feelings for her? Does he love her or not?”

Alexander had always been a tough nut to crack. The guy never spoke his mind.

“Maybe this is your chance,” Kieran suggested, treading carefully. “It used to be Elizabeth doing everything for you. How about you do something for her now?”

Why carefully? Because in Alexander’s world, doing things for others was unheard of. Alexander was just that proud.

“She doesn’t want to see me,” Alexander said, calm and collected.

Kieran chuckled. “Are you kidding me? Just because she says she doesn’t want to see you, you’re gonna give up? You didn’t love her, but she still married you. Dude, you can’t just take everything at face value.” Kieran gave him a serious look. “You’re in the wrong here. Swallow your pride and make it up to her!”

Alexander looked at Kieran and realized he had a point. ‘Yeah, I messed up. Time to own up to it,’ he thought.

He’d been feeling lost and frustrated, but Kieran’s words gave him a bit of hope. He couldn’t just sit around feeling sorry for himself; that wouldn’t fix anything. He’d wronged Elizabeth, so he needed to show he was sorry.

“Kieran, I don’t even know where to start,” Alexander admitted. He needed some advice.

Honestly, Alexander sucked at relationships. If he didn’t, he would’ve realized he loved Elizabeth a long time ago. He loved her, but he also hurt her.

“This is too complicated; I don’t know where to start either,” Kieran said, throwing his hands up.

‘Don’t look at me to fix this. Alexander has to deal with his own mess,’ Kieran thought.

“It’s kinda funny, though. A big-shot CEO can’t even figure this out!” Kieran snorted.

Alexander felt the sting of Kieran’s words. “I’ve been investigating for a while now. Ever since I started suspecting Esme this year, I’ve been digging. Esme bribed the kidnapper in prison, and the guy only confessed on his deathbed.”

Thinking about it, Alexander’s eyes darkened. He picked up his phone and texted Nolan: [Find Gabriel’s family and take care of them.]

Nolan replied quickly: [Mr. Tudor, I’ve already ensured Gabriel’s family’s safety and have people protecting them since I got the email.]

Seeing the message, Alexander felt a bit more at ease.

“By the way, Alexander, I recently got in touch with a new business partner,” Kieran said, scrolling through his phone. “The boss named Kyle sounds familiar; I think you know him.”

Alexander looked up and heard Kieran mention Kyle.

“Is this guy reliable? Should I work with him?” Kieran asked, skeptical.

“It’s a new company, a startup. You’ve got a good eye; you decide,” Alexander replied.

Kieran squinted, thinking, ‘So that’s a no.’ If it were a yes, Alexander would’ve said so. But he told him to decide.
