Her words had their intended effect. Ethan froze mid-step, but
then turned back to face her with a bitter expression on his
face.
“Of course you're worried about him. It’s always about him
now, isn’t it, Olivia? You don’t care aboutanymore.””
Olivia's face remained neutral. She said nothing, knowing that
any response she gave would only fuel his anger.
Then, out of the blue, Ethan shifted toward Xander. Instead of
the confrontation everyone had been bracing for, Ethan
lowered his head slightly.
“I owe you an apology. | haven't been sincere enough, and for
that, | apologize.”
Ethan leaned down and picked up the bottle of whiskey that
had been sitting untouched. He poured himself a full glass and
held it up. “I need to punish myself for being so unprofessional.”
He downed the first glass, the second followed quickly, and
then the third.
Everyone thought he would stop there. But Ethan was
committed to the act. He kept going, downing glass after glass.

Most of the people in the room were uncomfortable with the
direction this meeting was going. Ben cleared his throat
nervously, while his secretary stared fixedly at her hands. Even
Korbin and Felix weren't sure whether to intervene or not.
They all knew Ethan wasn’t really apologizing. Far from it,
actually. He was silently accusing Alexander of stealing his wife
by playing the depressed ex-husband who drowned his sorrows

Alexander, however, remained unmoved by the spectacle. He
was aware of Ethan's tactics, and quite frankly, he couldn't care
less. He just looked at him coldly. The man was playing hardball, and Alexander wouldn't engage in such low
methods
of manipulation.
After his tenth glass, Ethan suddenly pressed his hand to his stomach, face contorting in pain. “I think I've... |
can’t...” He
trailed off as he stumbled forward.
And then, almost as if he'd practiced the move, Ethan allowed himself to fall directly on Olivia's lap. He wrapped
his arms
around her as he sagged against her body.

Olivia shrieked. “Ethan!” She tried to shove him off her, but the
Chapter 102
man had fifty pounds on her. “Let go of me.”
But Ethan's eyes remained firmly shut. He didn’t budge. He'd
already committed to this final act and he was going to see it
through no matter what.
Alexander watched quietly, giving Ethan the opportunity to get
up with his dignity intact. But after the third shove and n6é improvement, Alexander rose to his feet. He grabbed
Ethan's
wrist, and with a firm pull, he pried his arm away from Olivia's
waist.
“I believe she asked you to let go.” His own arm moved
protectively toward Olivia, making it clear that if anyone had
the right to touch her, it was him.
Ethan's jaw tightened at the interference. With an irritated
shrug, he wrenched his arm away from Alexander's grip. The
stomach pain had apparently disappeared, leaving behind an
obvious annoyance. “Mind your own business.”
Olivia noticed that the men were focused on each other now,
stuck in a power struggle. She saw an opportunity and slipped
from her seat and fled the room.
The sound of the door drew the men’s attention and they finally
realized Olivia was no longer seated. Ethan immediately moved to follow her, but Alexander caught his arm
again with even
more force this time.

“I don’t think so,” he said as he blocked Ethan's path.
Ethan's ego was on the line. He wanted to attack, but he couldn't
challenge the Alpha directly. So once again, he called on his
acting skills.
“You think you can just... just push

earlier to serve as his excuse.
He stumbled backward, then lunged forward, and swung his
fist wildly toward Alexander's face.
Alexander didn’t flinch. He just blinked at the man before him,
clearly unimpressed.
But before the situation could escalate further, Felix rushed
between Ethan and Alexander. “That's enough.” He pushed
Ethan back, holding him firmly on the
spot. “Ethan, stop. ws cleany

Alexander straightened his jacket. His

He glanced at Ethan, offering him a pitiful look. “I could

Felix’'s eyebrows rose at this unexpected turn. He'd been
prepared for the Alpha’s rage, or demands for apologies. But this seemed promising.
He glanced at Ethan who was still swaying slightly before he answered, “That's quite generous. | appreciate it.”
