Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 573

Felix traced Alexander's gaze and saw Charlotte on the ground.

As Alexander's secretary, Felix obviously knew who Charlotte was. I never thought Charlotte would be so brazen! She hasn't even settled the mess she created, and she's here trying to seduce Mr. Xenos.

When Felix started working for Alexander, a woman overestimated herself and tried to seduce the latter.

Beau had just retired back then, so Alexander stepped up and took over Odyssey. Alexander was only twenty-three and had just finished his study abroad. Most people thought he was an immature and innocent young man. Hence, everyone thought they could take advantage of him.

Unfortunately for them, they couldn't be more wrong. Despite his young age, Alexander was a sharp- witted man.

A lesser-known actress became the first woman to try her luck. She spent a fortune buying a ticket for a business banquet and wanted to use the means in the entertainment industry to land Alexander.

At that time, Alexander didn't stop her from doing whatever she wanted to do. However, Felix received a call from Alexander that night after the event, and the actress was never seen on the screen ever again. Apparently, the woman's agency company fired her, and she ended up paying a penalty of over thirty million for breach of contract. According to rumors, the actress became someone's mistress after that.

What happened to that actress wasn't made known to the public, so other women thought they still had a chance to get close to Alexander. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

The second woman who tried to land Alexander was the daughter of a small business entity's owner. Her tactics were craftier. She would camp outside the entrance of Odyssey on most days of the week and pretend as though it was a coincidence whenever she bumped into Alexander.

Occasionally, she would also inquire about Alexander's schedule and tail him. Again, she would claim it was merely a coincidence when she ran into him.

After three months, she noticed that Alexander was still unmoved. She eventually grew desperate and got someone to let her sneak into Samuel's birthday party. There, she spiked a glass of wine and served it to Alexander.

Everyone in the city knew what happened to that woman afterward. Her father's company went belly up within the next couple of months. The woman went to Alexander to beg for mercy, but her pleas fell on deaf ears.

Once the news went viral, people became more cautious when they realized Alexander wasn't a foolish young man.

Yet, some would still end up crossing Alexander. In such cases, Alexander would unhesitatingly reject deals worth over one hundred million.

After some time, women knew better not to mess with Alexander.

That was why Felix was in disbelief when Sophia asked Alexander to marry her.

At that time, Felix thought Sophia's suggestion was unwise.

Nevertheless, it was safe to say that Sophia was in the right place at the right time. Alexander was in a feud with Kristen at that time. Alexander agreed to the suggestion shortly after Beau passed away because he wanted peace in the Xenos family.

Be that as it may, Sophia and Charlotte were two different women.

Mr. Xenos is a married man! How could Charlotte throw herself at him so shamelessly? She's courting death! Felix retracted his gaze and glanced at Alexander. Mr. Xenos looks p*ssed off. I guess Charlotte will eventually have to leave Jadeborough.

Meanwhile, Charlotte's face turned even more pale as she watched Alexander leave. This is the end. I failed!

“Tsk, tsk, tsk!”

Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice ringing out from nearby.

Charlotte froze momentarily before subconsciously lifting her head toward the voice.

There, she saw Heath walking toward her, and she was happy to see him. “Mr. Barker!”

Heath walked up to her and helped her up. His gaze darkened when he saw her cleavage. “Is Alexander even a man? How could he have refused such an alluring view?”

If Charlotte were to hear those words back then, she would feel a sense of pride welling up within her. That night, however, wasn't the case. Heath is right. When I approached Alexander just now, he didn't even bother looking at me.

As the thought crossed her mind, an embarrassed look spread across her face.

At that moment, she was shaking like a leaf. Alexander is really a scary man to deal with. I did everything I could tonight, but I failed.

That thought sent a shiver down Charlotte's spine.

She then instinctively held Heath's hand and begged, “Mr. Barker, please help me!”

Charlotte couldn't afford to pay such a huge amount of money, and she had no idea what Alexander would do next.

Heath lifted his hand to tidy her hair up and consoled her, “Don't worry. I won't abandon you.”

With that, he whipped out a check and a flight ticket from his pocket. “However, you might have to go through some hardships.”

Charlotte looked at the flight ticket and froze. She didn't want to leave Jadeborough, but she knew she was left with no other choice. I don't get to decide if I can stay here any longer.

Charlotte was a tactful person, but she could be a little bit rash at times.

Instead of rejecting Heath's arrangement, she took the check and the flight ticket from him. “Thank you,

Mr. Barker.”

“Rest early.” Heath flashed a smile.

With that, he spun on his heel and left.

Charlotte bit her lower lip and watched Heath leave. A moment later, she turned around and left the hotel.

In truth, Heath wasn't a kind man.

In the car, Alexander's expression was grim.

Felix didn't dare to utter a single word or make a noise. Hence, the car ride was completely silent.

All of a sudden, Alexander ordered, “Stop the car.”

The driver reacted at once, and the car came to a stop by the side of the road.

Felix turned around to look at Alexander in bafflement. “Mr. Xenos?”

“I'm going down to buy supper,” Alexander answered.

Felix fell into a momentary daze. When he returned to his senses, he asked, “What would you like to eat? I can go down and grab something for you.”

“That's not necessary. I'm buying supper for my wife.”

Felix was rendered speechless. What's with the sudden display of public affection?

Before Alexander exited the car, he glanced at Felix and asked, “Do you guys want anything?”

Felix and the driver wouldn't dare to ask Alexander to buy anything for them. However, they didn't dare to turn him down, either.

“I'll tag along.” Felix turned toward the driver and asked, “Do you want anything, Kenny?”

Kenny was flattered beyond words. “I'll have anything you're having, Mr. Lane.”

“Sure.”

Alexander and his secretary ended up buying supper together.

Normally, Sophia would get hungry at around nine at night, and Alexander would heat up some oatmeal for her.

Therefore, Alexander merely bought some oatmeal for Sophia. Felix didn't want to hold his employer up, so he also ordered two packs of oatmeal.

Seeing that, Alexander cast Felix a glance and asked, “Are you also a fan of oatmeal?”

Felix felt awkward when he heard that question. “Well, one shouldn't have heavy meals for supper, right? Oatmeal is the way to go.”

Alexander didn't respond to that, and Felix felt even more awkward afterward.
