"Ginny, I was wrong! I know that I was wrong! Please, you know how much I love you. Please just tell him to let me go! I beg you!" Trembling in fear, Harry crashed to his knees before them.

Ginny's resolve weakened as she stared at the pitiful man in front of her. In truth, Harry had been very good to her when they were still dating. As Alex prepared to chop down, she hurriedly spoke up, "M-Mr. Jefferson... Please have mercy on him this once."

Alex turned to look at her, his tone calm as he asked, "He just tried to ruin you and even threatened to kill you. Don't you hate him?"

"I-I..."

Clenching her teeth, she forced out, "A-actually...He used to love me a lot, you know. Nothing has ever happened between us. He's always been very respectful toward me and has never even held my hand without my permission."

Her words had Alex wanting to smack his head against the wall. You're just making Harry even more suspicious of there being something between us!

Not wanting her to muddy the waters up even more with her explanation, he snorted and kicked Harry away from him. "Get out of my sight. There had better not be a next time, or I'll break both your arms and make sure you're imprisoned for life."

Not daring to linger any longer, Harry grit his teeth through the pain as he vanished out the front door.

Before Harry left, Alex noticed the gleam in his eyes and knew he was unrepentant. He was definitely going to exact revenge on Ginny or himself in the future.

After her ex left, Ginny started sobbing again. "Mr. Jefferson, if it hadn't been for your timely arrival, I-I would have been...been..."

Just the thought of Harry's earlier actions had given Ginny a mental breakdown. She shuddered to imagine what would have happened had Alex arrived a little later.

Setting down the knife, Alex reached out to pat her shoulder. He was going to say something comforting but before the words could leave his lips, she suddenly threw herself at him. She buried her head into his chest and began to cry piteously.

At last, Ginny felt a sense of security all around her.

Meanwhile, Alex's arms hovered in the air with uncertainty: he did not know where to put his hands.

Initially, he had decided to keep Ginny because he really did need a secretary. However, he also had to admit a small part of him had wanted to use this as a way to piss off Harry. But he had never wanted her to actually cheat on her boyfriend!

Thus, he found himself in a dilemma on whether to hug her or not.

In the end, as her sobs got louder and louder, he placed his arms around her shoulder to pat it gently. "It's fine. Everything's okay now. I'll fire Harry immediately and have people force him out of Nebula City. He won't get a chance to harm you again."

"I-I really must have been blind to have fallen in love with a man like him. If you had come here any later..." she trailed off and lifted her head to look at Alex. Her tears came faster as she was once again

Alex wiped away the tears rolling down her cheeks, smiling as he said, "Love is blind and all that. Not all ouples are able to love and respect each other equally."

Suddenly, he was reminded of when Heather had mentally cheated on him. He could not help but be cornful of himself. He had been giving her the cold shoulder for quite a while now but that did not mean hat he did not love her anymore.

t was just that he had been unable to get over the fact that she had cheated on him. He had wanted to see f she would finally come back to him or continue to cheat on him.

This was the reason why he did not want to tell Heather that he was the boss of Four Seas Corporation.

Are you unhappy?" Despite the grief she was feeling, she was still quite observant. She had instantly noticed how he seemed a little upset.

What? No, why would I be unhappy? Hahaha!" Alex replied unconvincingly.

Stop lying to me. I heard that you've been on the outs with your wife recently?" she asked softly.

Alex was a little speechless at how she managed to jump to such conclusions based on his words alone.

She commented, "You know, Heather is not the best woman in the world. There are plenty of women who are a lot better than her in the world."

Alex stared at her in surprise. Weren't you so sad and hurt just seconds ago? Now you're sticking your nose in other beople's business? 'Such as?" he questioned curiously.

A determined glint appeared in Ginny's eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on his lips.
