"I’ll send someone to take you to the airport tomorrow," Alexander said calmly.
"Make sure your things are packed."
Lilian’s face instantly turned pale.
"Alexander... do you really have to do this?"
Her voice trembled.
"Do you hate me that much now?"
She took a shaky step closer, tears gathering in her eyes.
"Do you even realize what people are saying about me after your interview aired?"
"They’re calling me the homewrecker who destroyed your marriage..."
Alexander looked at her coldly.
"And did you never think about that before?"
Lilian froze.
The words caught in her throat instantly.
Alexander’s voice remained calm, but every word felt sharp enough to cut.
"You knew Alicia and I were already married."
"And yet you repeatedly used your illness to keep me by your side."
"You used my guilt against me."
"Again and again."
His gaze darkened slightly.
"Didn’t that ever make you feel uneasy?"
Lilian stared at him blankly.
But deep down, Alexander knew the person who had hurt Alicia the most was never Lilian.
It was him.
From the very beginning—
He was the one who allowed everything to spiral this far.
He was the one who failed to draw boundaries.
The one who kept indulging the past while ignoring the person beside him.
Looking at Lilian’s pale face, Alexander suddenly felt exhausted.
After a long silence, he finally spoke again.
"Lilian."
His voice softened slightly.
"We both need to let go of the past."
"It’s over."
"For years, I blamed myself for what happened to you."
"I thought I owed you forever."
A faint self-mocking smile appeared on his face.
"But I realize now... I handled everything the wrong way."
"I shouldn’t have kept giving you hope."
"And I definitely shouldn’t have indulged you like this."
Lilian’s eyes immediately reddened further.
"So... you really want to abandon me?"
Alexander closed his eyes briefly before reopening them.
"I’ll give you a choice."
Lilian immediately looked up at him.
"You can stay here."
"But from this moment onward, we’ll have nothing to do with each other."
His tone became colder again.
"I’ll terminate your endorsement contract with Blackwood Dominion."
"And all the opportunities you received through me will end as well."
"From now on, your career will depend entirely on yourself."
"I won’t interfere anymore."
Lilian stared at him in disbelief.
For a moment, she couldn’t even speak.
In the entertainment industry, talent alone was never enough.
Connections.
Resources.
Capital.
Those were the real foundations of success.
Countless beautiful and talented women remained unknown forever because they lacked backing.
Meanwhile, others rose effortlessly simply because someone powerful was willing to support them.
Lilian understood this reality better than anyone.
The Summer family might be wealthy—
But compared to the Blackwood family, they were insignificant.
And more importantly...
Her mother had always opposed her relationship with Alexander after he got married.
If she lost Alexander now, her family would never continue helping her openly.
Without him—
Everything she currently had could disappear overnight.
Panic finally surfaced in her eyes.
"Alexander... please..."
She grabbed his sleeve again desperately.
"Don’t be this cruel to me..."
