"It was simply a matter of incompatible personalities."
His tone was calm and formal.
Just like the response.
"Back then, I was pursuing two majors at the same time, so my schedule was extremely demanding. Later, after joining the company, I became even more consumed by work and gradually neglected her feelings."
His gaze lowered slightly.
"After several failed attempts to reconcile, we eventually decided to separate peacefully."
It was a very official explanation.
Too official.
"I see," the host said with a smile. "But now that the entire Blackwood Dominion Enterprises is under your management, doesn’t Mrs. Alicia have any complaints about how busy you are?"
I noticed immediately how naturally she had changed the way she addressed me.
From Miss Alicia... to Mrs. Alicia.
A faint bitter smile tugged at my lips.
Alexander smiled lightly as well.
"She’s just as busy as I am," he replied calmly. "We often work overtime together, so in a way, it makes our lives feel more fulfilling."
The host nodded before continuing with her next question.
"You mentioned earlier that Mrs. Alicia is exceptionally talented. So does that mean the rumors claiming she relied on connections to obtain her current position are completely false?"
"We don’t tolerate unhealthy practices like that within the company," Alexander answered simply.
His tone was calm, but the meaning behind his words was enough to shut down countless speculations online instantly.
"I also heard that after Miss Lilian Summer returned to Velaridge City, she began collaborating with Blackwood Dominion Enterprises. Were you personally involved in helping her?"
"Yes." Alexander admitted it directly. "She wanted to return to Velaridge City to further develop her career. Since her family and I have worked together before, I offered some assistance to help her establish herself more quickly."
The host smiled knowingly.
"But from what I understand, even couples who separate peacefully usually find it difficult to remain friends afterward. Now that Miss Lilian is back in Velaridge City and you’re still helping her... doesn’t Mrs. Alicia get jealous?"
This time, Alexander was silent for a few seconds before answering.
"As a businessman, it’s rare for relationships to end badly."
His voice remained steady.
"After the breakup, our families still maintained occasional contact, so we naturally remained in touch from time to time."
Then his gaze darkened slightly.
"I don’t regret helping her."
He paused briefly before continuing in a lower tone.
"But I do regret the way I handled things."
The atmosphere in the interview suddenly became quieter.
"I failed to maintain proper boundaries between a man and a woman, and in the process, I neglected my wife’s feelings."
Every word fell heavily into my chest.
"That’s why Alicia was misunderstood as the third party and became the target of online attacks."
Then, for the first time since the interview began, Alexander looked directly into the camera with complete seriousness.
His eyes were sincere, his expression solemn.
"Alicia," he said quietly, "if you’re watching this,then please forgive me for my ignorance. I’m truly sorry."
I froze completely.
The host looked genuinely surprised before smiling warmly.
"So the reason Mr. Blackwood agreed to this interview today... was because of Mrs. Alicia?"
Alexander lowered his gaze slightly before answering softly,
"Mm."
Then he added,
"To me, she’s like the air I breathe. Her presence exists in every corner of my life."
His voice grew quieter.
"I can’t even imagine what my life would look like without her anymore."
When he said those words, Alexander looked straight into the camera again, his gaze unwavering.
Anyone watching would probably think he was deeply in love.
But I had already learned my lesson.
I refused to let myself fall for his words so easily again.
The host smiled helplessly.
"Mr. Blackwood truly lives up to his reputation. You never directly mention the word ’love,’ yet every sentence sounds filled with affection."
Watching the overwhelming change in public opinion unfold in real time, I couldn’t help letting out a faint, almost mocking smile.
