Chapter 144 Why Get Married at All?
“What?”
Now Sergio was shocked too.
“Mrs. Keywood’s keeping a boy toy on the side?”
Alfred’s face remained dark as he said nothing, but his chest heaved with anger.
Sergio frowned at Alfred, hesitating.
This made Alfred even angrier.
He shouted at Sergio, “If you want to say something, say it! Stop hemming and hawing!”

“Mr. Keywood, if Mrs. Keywood really is keeping a boy toy on the side, it’s understandable. Who told you to only focus on company business and not care about her at all?”
Besides, you’re being shady with another woman. Who would be happy about that?
Sergio didn’t dare say this out loud.
“You know what’s most appealing about boy toys? They’re obedient, sweet, and enthusiastic. They’re good at providing emotional support.”
Sergio said seriously.

“Look at how exhausting hospital work is. Mrs. Keywood works hard all day. When she home after work, it should be her time to relax. But instead, she has to face your ice-cold expression. Who would want…”
He realized he’d said too much.
Meeting his boss’s cold stare, Sergio quickly covered his mouth.
“I… what I mean is, Mrs. Keywood is still a girl. Of course, girls want their partners to be gentle and considerate, to care about them. In that regard, boy toys are definitely good at it.”
Alfred looked at Sergio with dark eyes, then let out a cold laugh. “You’re saying I’m not gentle and considerate enough?”
Ha!
Sergio rolled his eyes.

You are gentle and considerate, all directed at another woman. Who would be happy about that?
Sergio let out a few dry, awkward laughs but didn’t answer.
But Alfred still understood what he meant.
“I married her because she was hassle-free. If she needs me to spend energy and time providing her emotional support, why get married at all?”
Finished
Alfred stated coldly. Then, glancing at the hospital entrance where Nella had already vanished, he cursed under his breath and strode away.
Once he was far enough away, Sergio muttered behind him, “Then just wait to die alone.”
You went looking for trouble by getting married, and now you’re acting tough? What were you so angry about back there? Hell, you were so angry your eyes turned red.
Although the livestream had ended and the rumors about Nella’s surgical malpractice nearly killing someone and her being a homewrecker had been clarified, the online buzz hadn’t decreased. On the contrary…
The scene of the Keywood Group CEO standing up to protect his wife replaced the earlier accusations of Nella being a homewrecker and hit number one on the trending topics list.
“Mr. Keywood standing up to protect his wife. The so-called childhood sweetheart turns out to be a clown.”
“Mr. Keywood probably thinks Mrs. Mack wasn’t slapping his wife’s face, but mine.”
“Mr. Keywood says his influence isn’t enough.”
On Twitter, the comments that had started by bashing Nella’s medical skills and calling her a shameless homewrecker had now completely shifted direction. Everyone was praising her and Alfred as a perfect match-talented and beautiful together.
Besides that, there was mass mockery of Zoey.
Zoey’s fans went from shouting about the CEO doting on his sweet wife to being as silent as church mice.
Only a few diehard fans were still fighting a losing battle.
“Are you all blind? Zoey was just concerned about her brother’s condition. She never said she married Mr. Keywood.”

“Exactly, exactly. It was Keywood Group employees spouting nonsense. Do you even have a mind of your own? You believe whatever anyone says?”
