His Lordship Alexander Kane

“What are you doing?” Zoe was clearly taken aback, and she instantly clung to Herbert’s arm. Soon

after, she regained her composure and held her head high. “Don’t forget your place! You married into

the Chesire family, not the other way around! How dare you raise your voice at me? You—”

“Why did you deceive me?” Alexander snapped, interjecting Zoe mid-sentence. “Did you bring me into

this family? And who is Amber? Explain everything, now!”

Zoe was taken aback and stammered, “Y—You know about that?”

Alexander clenched his jaw, and his gaze burned with anger. It was all coming together, just as he

suspected.

Olivia was not lying, and his judgment was right.

There had indeed been a conspiracy during his wedding!

What were Zoe and the Chesire family plotting?

“Zoe,” Herbert chimed in. He then glared at Alexander arrogantly and continued, “He’s nothing but a

worthless man, so why fear him discovering the truth? Tell him that you’ll soon become mine! As for

him, he’s just a pitiful little good-for-nothing, oblivious to the fact that he’s been played with.”

Zoe chuckled softly and dropped all pretense. She nestled in Herbert’s arms and puckered her lips into

a coy smile. “Since we’re getting a divorce anyway, I see no reason to hide anything from you,” she

said to Alexander. “Did you think I was your savior? Haha! I’m not as naive as Amber! Back then…”
