Alexander frowned. That name rang faintly familiar.
Vivian had called this afternoon, sobbing about her aunt getting arrested for offending Lisa, begging for his help.
Without a second thought, he’d told Andrew to handle it.
“Yes.”
He answered impatiently. “So what?”
“So what?”
Lisa echoed, then burst into cold laughter. A tear gathered at her eyelash and plummeted.
“Does Vivian drive you so mad you’d move heaven and earth for her?”
Alexander: “……”
She swiped her tears fiercely, voice sharpening with venom. “Alexander!”
“Get out!”
She lunged, shoving him hard.
Staggering backward, bewildered, “Must we make such a scene over nothing?”

He’d meant to reason with her calmly.
“Nothing?”
Hatred flashed in Lisa’s eyes, teeth grinding audibly.
Seeing her anguish, Alexander softened his tone. “Tell me what happened.”
Lisa lifted her gaze. A tear–swollen pearl trembled in her eye, ready to fall at any moment.
Her beautiful face contorted with rage and pain. She inhaled sharply.
“You want to know her crime? Fine-”
“Ring ring ring!”
Alexander’s phone shattered the silence.
He frowned at Vivian’s caller ID, hesi then rejected the call.
“Keep talking!”
He wanted to hear her out.
But the phone blared again, relentless. He finally answered.
“Okay, I’m coming!”
Hanging up, he turned back. “Something came up. Maybe we―”
Lisa sneered. The tear–pearl finally crashed down.
“Get… out!”

She hurled him outside with all her strength, then slammed the door with a BANG, twisting the lock.
Alexander stood outside, temple vein throbbing.
Just a Royal Estate servant.
A minor offense deserved a scolding, not jail time.
He never sweated trivialities.
Her meltdown today was… absurd.
“Lisa, have you lost it? Open up and explain!”
Inside, Lisa slumped against the icy door, sliding slowly to the floor.
Stifled whimpers erupted into wrenching sobs.
Her cries pierced the wood, drenched in despair.
Alexander’s chest tightened. He raised his fist.
“Lisa!
Open the door!”
“Explain yourself! What exactly happened?”
Only sobbing came from behind the door, no answer.
Alexander’s patience ran out, fury blazing in his eyes.
He spun around abruptly, pulling out his phone to dial Andrew’s

number.
“Investigate this!” he roared the moment the call connected. “That woman Patricia! Find out exactly what she’s done!”
After hanging up, he slammed his fist violently against the wall.
Night deepened.
Inside the VIP Lounge of Nightclub’s exclusive club.
Alexander drank alone, his expression dark enough to drip water.
The handsome face slapped earlier still bore a faint redness.
Bruce and Daniel sat opposite, silent, the atmosphere suffocating.
The divorce announcement was public, the company’s stock had stabilized- -so why did their brother seem… more troubled than ever?
“Is Sister–in–law on a business trip? Want me to call over some company?” Bruce approached, clinking his glass against Alexander’s, filling the awkward silence.
Three grown men drinking gloomily–how dull.
Daniel glanced over with a cold sneer. “Bruce, can’t last a day without women? Careful or you’ll wear yourself out.”
“Daniel, such restraint! Why not just become a monk?” Bruce shot back.
[Bang!] The lounge door burst open violently.

All heads snapped toward the entrance.
Matthew stormed in like a hurricane, gripping a baseball bat.
Without a word, she swung wildly at the expensive bottles on the
table.
[Crash!]
Shattering glass and splashing liquor echoed through the room.
“Matthew!” Bruce reacted fastest, lunging to grab her. “Matthew! Are you insane?”
He tried wrestling the bat away.
“What are you doing? Can’t we talk? Take this home!”
Matthew struggled, eyes bloodshot.
“Let go! Bruce, get off me!” She swung backward-[Thud!]–the bat struck Bruce’s arm.
Bruce winced, pausing but not releasing his grip.
Was this necessary? They… weren’t that close.
They’d lived separate lives since the first betrayal.
Her heart toward him had long turned to ice!
Alexander and Daniel watched with furrowed brows but didn’t intervene.

They knew Matthew’s temper–and this was Bruce’s mess.
Probably Bruce got caught with some model again.
Though today’s rage seemed… excessive.
Pity about those vintage bottles.
Servants rushed in at the noise. Alexander waved them off; they retreated discreetly.
Suddenly, Matthew redirected her fury toward Alexander.
Trembling as she gripped the bat, its tip aimed straight at Alexander’s face.
“Alexander! You bastard!” Her voice rasped, thick with tears.
“What have you done? You actually let that bitch Patricia go free!”
Alexander’s frown deepened.
Patricia again!
“Are you even human? How could you betray Lisa like this? Huh?”
Matthew’s accusations cut like knives.
Silence instantly swallowed the lounge,
Bruce and Daniel were both stunned.
Patricia?

Who on earth is she?
Worth the Johnson Family’s young lady coming with a baseball bat to wreck the place?
How is this related to Lisa and Alexander?
Alexander put down his glass, leaning forward slightly, “What exactly happened?”
He asked Matthew, his voice icy cold.
“What exactly did Patricia do?
Worth all of you going crazy?”
