Kapitel 121: Mutual Torment

The screen displayed Alice Johnson's latest social media post at 4 a.m. It contained only a single sentence: We haven't broken up. We won't break up because of someone insignificant. I will wait for you until you come back.

"Who could Alice be referring to as the insignificant person? Could it be the foreign man, or is someone else involved?" the female host continued speculating.

The screen then shifted to photos of Alex and Alice at their engagement, their fingers intertwined, whispering sweet nothings. A picture of bliss that made others envious.

And just like that, the much-anticipated political and business union had ended...

Lily suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head.

"Hey, Lily, we're leaving now."

A sweet voice interrupted her thoughts.

Lily bit her lip and turned to see Ethan wearing a casual black coat. Aiko Nakamura, wearing a black-and-white lace dress, held onto his arm as they slowly descended the stairs.
