Chapter 175 The Truth Drops
At the end of the day, this man only loved himself.
And somehow, he still had the nerve to stand in front of her and pretend he was deeply devoted. It was beyond disgusting.
Nathan’s expression darkened instantly.
His jaw tightened as he stared at her. “You’ve got a lot to say about me, but what about you?”
Elena frowned, her tone cold. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Nathan let out a humorless laugh. “Don’t act like you don’t know. I’m well aware of what’s going on between you and Alexander. Elena, he’s a married man. You’re really okay being the other woman? That’s not exactly something to be proud of.”
He forced himself to stay composed, even as jealousy burned in his chest.
ust imagining Elena with Alexander made his temper spike uncontrollably.
f it weren’t for the shares, he wouldn’t have come back to her at all. But after Camille pushed Charles into
rage yesterday, the quickest solution now was to get Elena back on his side.
Nathan’s gaze turned sharper. “Even if you somehow manage to replace her, do you really think a family ike the Kingsleys would accept someone who’s been with another man for five years?”
The moment he finished speaking, Elena picked up the glass of water on the table and threw it straight at his face without hesitation.
The water splashed across him, dripping down from his hair to his chin, soaking into his clothes. He ooked completely disheveled.
Elena!” Nathan snapped, his teeth clenched.
This was the first time he had ever been humiliated like this.
You’re unbelievable.”
Elena’s entire body trembled uncontrollably, and even her voice shook.
Nathan wiped the water from his face, his expression turning ugly. “Yeah, maybe Lam But Elena. I mean it, I want you back. I’ll treat you right.”
He paused briefly, then added with a sneer, “And just so you know. I saw Alexander yesterday Him and his secretary, looking pretty damn inappropriate. He’s just playing around with you. You don’t have her use yourself just to get back at me”
Elena had no intention of hiding it anymor
Originally, she didn’t want to make her marriage with Alexander public She planned to resolve everything with the Hawthorne family in her own way
Chapter 175 The Truth Drops
She wanted to watch Nathan lose everything, and to see Richard, Catherine, and Camille regret their
choices.
But right now, Nathan’s shamelessness had completely crossed the line.
She was done holding back.
Just as she was about to speak, an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist.
“Who told you she’s the other woman?”
A deep, familiar voice sounded beside her.
Elena’s body stiffened instantly.
She turned her head and saw Alexander standing there, pulling her firmly into his arms with a possessive
case.
Nathan seemed to realize something, and his face grew even uglier. “Mr. Kingsley, what exactly are you implying?”
No… that’s impossible. It can’t be what I’m thinking.
Alexander tightened his hold on Elena slightly, his tone calm but carrying unquestionable authority. ‘Elena is my wife.”
‘What?” Nathan blurted out.
Even after Alexander finished speaking, Nathan stood there in shock, unable to process what he had just heard.
Alexander didn’t mind repeating himself. He kept his arm around Elena’s waist and said evenly. “She’s my wife. We’re legally married. Do you want me to show you the marriage certificate?”
Elena wasn’t used to being this physically close to Alexander in public. She instinctively tried to step away. but he noticed immediately and tightened his hold just enough to stop her.
Nathan’s face turned pale.
“Elena…” he said unwillingly, still refusing to accept it. “Is that true?”
Elena looked at him calmly. “Whether it’s true or not, what does it have to do with you?
Nathan let out a self–mocking laugh before turning around and walking out of the cate
Alexander’s hand finally loosened from her waist
Elena shifted slightly to the side. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Fiona standing near the stairs. watching them.
“I still have work to do. I’m heading out,” Elena said.

Without waiting for Alexander to respond, she turned to leave.
Alexander reached out and stopped her.
“We’re legally married,” he said, his voice low, as if reminding her of something.
He was watching her expression carefully.
Her face didn’t look good. Was it because he had revealed their marriage in front of Nathan?
After everything Nathan had done to her, did she still have feelings for him?
Elena didn’t understand why he suddenly said that.
“I know,” she replied softly.
Then she looked at him. “Can I go now?”
You’re here with Fiona anyway. Why should I stay?
Alexander’s fingers tightened slightly before he finally let go. He stood there and watched as Elena walked out of the café.
Fiona walked over.
Fiona said, “She didn’t look very happy just now. Are you sure you don’t want to go after her?”
Alexander said coldly, “No.”
He turned and left without another word.
To avoid running into Alexander again and making things awkward, Elena deliberately stayed late at the
office.
By the time she finished her work, it was already completely dark outside.
Her neck ached badly. She stood up and stretched before reaching up to touch her torehead
It felt slightly warm.
