Esme’s situation was such that even if she were convicted and sent away, her days wouldn’t be easy. Henry laughed in exasperation. Alexander’s expression was particularly cold and stern.

“Cooper, do I need to come back tomorrow?” Alexander’s cold eyes swept Cooper. Cooper shook his head, understanding Alexander’s meaning. Alexander responded indifferently, then stood up. He brushed past Henry at the door.

Henry turned and followed him, “Alexander!” Alexander didn’t speak, just kept walking out. He had come alone today; Henry hadn’t; he brought a driver, and the car was waiting outside. When the driver saw Henry coming out, he immediately got out of the car.

Alexander was heading to his own car, but Henry stopped him. “Alexander, tell me, what will it take for you to let Esme go?” Alexander looked at Henry. Henry was truly out of options. Ellen was in the hospital, and the doctor said she would probably wake up today. If he couldn’t find Nancy to see Ellen, he would have to take Esme to see Ellen. But now he couldn’t even see Esme.

The atmosphere was heavy. The two of them standing in the police station courtyard was quite a striking scene. Many people were secretly peeking out the windows. This love-hate entanglement was truly fascinating! But it was clear the Russell Family hadn’t gained any advantage. Henry tightly gripped Alexander’s arm, his fingertips turning white.

“Alexander. I’m begging you, give Esme, give our Russell Family a way out, okay?” Alexander’s indifferent gaze fell on him. “I can even kneel for you!” Henry gritted his teeth and said.

“What good would kneeling do?” Alexander questioned him. Alexander had knelt for Elizabeth. What good had it done?

“Then tell me, what would work?” Henry’s eyes were bloodshot; he couldn’t drag this out any longer! Alexander gritted his teeth, “Esme must die.” Henry’s hand suddenly loosened, and he took two steps back, his eyes filled with disbelief. Alexander was so cruel!

Henry said, “Alexander, you two were in love once!” Alexander sneered, stepping forward slowly, pointing seriously at Henry, and reminded him, “Henry, I need to remind you. I never loved Esme.” Alexander quickly retorted, “The only person I’ve ever loved is Elizabeth! If it weren’t for Esme, Elizabeth and I wouldn’t have separated! Letting Esme die is already the simplest solution.”

Henry kept retreating. Alexander kept advancing. Until neither of them spoke anymore, and Alexander’s steps stopped, his breathing heavy. Henry’s tears fell. Men didn’t cry easily, but his sense of helplessness was something no one could understand.

Just when the two were awkwardly at a standstill, a voice suddenly came from inside, “Mr. Russell, something’s wrong!”
