Ivy refused to move, staring at Alaric as she tried again,
"Xavier really did save me. You can ask the police, there were plenty of witnesses."
"Can you please stop being so unreasonable?"
Alaric already knew exactly what happened.
Not only did he know, he had personally ordered the police to lock up the celebrity responsible, ensuring she rotted behind bars with zero chance of a settlement.
What infuriated him was why Ivy was conveniently out here with Xavier in the first place.
He was enraged by the very fact that Ivy was intimately washing another man's body.
And he had walked right into the disgusting scene.
If he hadn't shown up, God knows how far they would have taken it.
Swallowing the explosive ache in his chest, Alaric stubbornly kept his eyes averted. His handsome face was darker than thunder.
"I don't want to look at you right now. Get out, before I do something I regret."
Ivy still didn't grasp the severity of the situation.
She just thought the old man was throwing a tantrum.
Her own temper flared. With red-rimmed eyes, she defensively shot back,
"Why are you acting like this? The man risked his life to save me. Shouldn't I stay and take care of him?"
"It's just like when your ex-wife hit rock bottom and came crying to you. You took her in and doted on her."
"Why is there one rule for you and another for me?"
Alaric could no longer suppress the inferno within. He snapped his head toward her, his eyes blazing with fury.
He genuinely wanted to wring her neck.
His heart twisted violently, a suffocating wave of despair expanding through his chest.
Despite his agonizing fury,
he maintained his icy composure, his words gritted out with lethal calm.
"You wanted a divorce, didn't you? Fine, you have it. I'm going back to draft the papers right now. So get out of my car."
Ivy's expression froze.
She sat there completely blindsided.
