Rosemary laughed, her eyes glinting with malice. "Believe me, you will never get anything better than my daughter. And you are not leaving, you are kicked out because Lily deserves a better guy than you."Alex didn't want to escalate anything and quietly walked out.Lily watched Alex's back, her heart heavy. She couldn't help herself and asked, "Mother, do you think it's right to divorce Alex?""Why do you ask? Between a lowly soldier of the Empire and Ethan Gavin, who's from the second-ranked wealthy family, why do you even need to think? The answer is so clear.""It just isn't ethical. Alex is a good person." Lily whispered."Remember, good people always lose to rich people! A good person can't feed you well.""But since Alex joined our family, our business has suddenly gotten better.""So what? Do you think the lowly soldier is the reason our family is doing well? Do you think he's a fortunate boy? What I know is if you marry Ethan, our family will get even better!"Lily fell silen

"You," Eva called out to Alex, her voice trembling with suppressed rage. "You better treat my father well, or I will kill you."Alex's eyes turned cold, a dark anger flickering within them; he never liked being threatened. "Then I don't want to try anymore. I'm sorry, I'm just wasting my time here."With that, Alex turned and began to walk out of the ward.Ava hastily grabbed Alex's hand, desperation evident in her eyes. "Please, don’t listen to my twin sister. Please try your best to help my father. Just do your best, it’s okay with whatever the result.""Ava," Eva began, but Ava quickly cut her off."Eva, shut your mouth. If you open it again, I will walk out with him and let you handle all of this. Later, I will tell the big family you prevented Father from being treated. See what they will say.""He doesn't look reliable," Eva protested, her voice wavering."Then start fucking find someone reliable in these 24 hours! All you've brought is this fucking doctor who can't do anything!

Ava screamed as she tried to maintain control of the car on the winding road. Alex immediately assessed the situation and shouted, "Get down!"Even though the car was protected by bulletproof glass, if it got hit in the same place a few more times, it might break.He reached over and grabbed the steering wheel, steering the car off the road to safety. "We need to find cover now! Slowly, releasing the gas pedal."Ava, trembling, ducked down as Alex maneuvered the vehicle. Her heart pounded in her chest, fear evident in her wide eyes."Who could be doing this?" she asked, her voice trembling with fear."I don't know, but we need to stay safe. Keep your head down and don't make any sudden moves," Alex instructed, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of the shooter.It seemed like they were being attacked by snipers.The car slowly came to a halt after hitting a large concrete barrier. Inside the car, Alex activated his smartphone and made a call to the military base. "Detect

Alex took more time to process Ava’s words.Seeing his silence, Ava's face suddenly turned a bit red, and she laughed. "I am just joking with you. No need to think too serious about it."Alex didn't know if he had just missed a once-in-a-lifetime chance or if he had been saved from riding a tigress."So, what do you think? Can you help me by being my boyfriend?""Well," Alex hesitated for a moment.He didn't have to do it, but there were only a few weeks before the Empire's one year peace treaty with the Aslan Country would turn void.Alex believed Aslan had planted their spies in the West Empire. In past Aslan and Drakonia were really close, and he believed Gavin family was still using Aslan's power to dominate the West Empire, while Aslan used Gavin as spies to get a clearer view of the West Empire for the next attack."Alex," Ava called, her hand touching Alex's. "Our bodyguards were protecting my father. And you know I am just a weak woman, and I have a lot of enemies, even my fia

Ethan Gavin was a man with a mission. His family had already pushed Crystal Gavin, his little sister, to marry Nicholas Gray.Now, his parents asked him if it was possible to get close to Ava Sharp. If that happened, the Gray family and the Sharp family would fall under Gavin control.The plan was for Nicholas to reject Ava Sharp, and then Ethan would come to console Ava, building a romance with Ava after rejection even if it needed the help of drugs.But looking at the low-rank soldier with Ava Sharp, he knew his plan would go south if he let this happen.The worst part was he was just playing with Lily White, since she was beautiful, but she really divorced her husband for his sake.He never thought his playing habits would cause a big problem for his main mission. Causign Lily ex-husband stick with Ava.If his parents knew this, he would be in big trouble, so he had to take Alex out of this place to keep the plan going."Ethan," Ava said, still hugging Alex's hand. "Are you not too
