NovelEnglishChapter 513
The housekeeper dutifully informed Alice that Ronald was waiting for her in the study.
Alice found it strange. After thinking for a moment, she figured it must be about the Timothy incident.
Those two people were already dead and made the news. She had assumed that with them dead and the plan
failed, Ronald would let it go. She hadn't expected him to question her now.
Alice sneered and headed to the study.
She pushed the door open and found it completely dark inside. “Why is the light off?”
The dim light from the hallway cast faint shadows into the room. She could vaguely make out Ronald sitting on
the ground in a disheveled manner. Alice frowned. ‘Had something happened?’
A sense of unease crept into her chest.
“Close the door.” Ronald's voice was hoarse and frightening.
Alice’s heart immediately sank. She shut the door and felt along the wall for the light switch, flicking it on.

The room lit up in an instant.
And when she saw what was on the ground, Alice’s face turned pale.
Scattered across the wooden floor of the study were photographs and shards of a broken glass cup.
Ronald was slumped on the floor, leaning against the desk.
Alice's lips trembled. “Honey, letexplain.”
Ronald shook his head. Even though he was on the floor looking up at her, it made her feel a chill from the
bottom of her heart.
“You've been keeping a man outside?” Ronald's voice was cold. “Alice, | built everything from nothing. Whether |
once relied on your family or your family relies onnow, I've always been loyal to you. I've never had
mistresses or illegitimate children. And this is how you repay me?”
His heart was cold. Ronald admitted he might not be a great father, but he had always believed he was a good
husband. Even when he found out that Alice had long known Aubree was in the orphanage, he didn’t retaliate.
Alice’s face went pale, and she couldn't say a word.
She was afraid that Ronald would find out about her lover, afraid he would divorce her. As the one at fault, she'd
walk away with nothing.
Ronald looked deeply disappointed. “I haven't decided how to deal with us yet, but for now, | don’t want to see
you.”
Alice understood immediately. “I'll move out.”
Ronald added, “And cut him off. | won’t be humiliated like this.”
Alice cried pitifully, but she knew that if she tried to stay now, she'd only push Ronald over the edge. So she
agreed for now.
When she walked out of the study, her steps were unsteady. She reached up and touched her neck. It was
drenched in sweat.
‘How did he find out? Who took those photos?‘ Her mind was a mess. She didn’t dare stay in the house any
longer and risk upsetting Ronald further.
She pulled out a suitcase and hastily packed a few essentials.
As she was leaving, she bumped into the housekeeper.
“Ma’am, you're...?
Alice gave a bitter smile. She probably wouldn't be the lady of the house soon.
Alice said, “I'm going to stay somewhere else for a while.”
She didn’t explain further and left in her car. She didn’t go to Kyler’s place but instead went to a condo near her
company. In fact, even if she had gone to Kyler’s, she would have found it empty. He was already gone.
She dialed a number. “Hello? Ernesto? Something happened. Kyler was found out by Ronald. I've moved out. He
didn’t say what he’ll do next.”
