Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Alistair had thought that once he stepped out of Whitfield Manor, he could cleanly sever ties with Rebecca and the Whitfield family once and for all.

Yet reality took an unexpected turn-one that pushed him past his limits.

After careful consideration and a discussion with Caroline, he decided to take the initiative and approach Nathaniel directly.

He didn't want to deal with Rebecca because he believed she was irrational. Reasoning with her was futile, so going straight to her parents seemed like the better option.

He avoided Whitfield Manor, knowing Cordelia often spent her days shopping or playing cards with other wealthy socialites.

So he headed straight for Nathaniel's office.

Nathaniel, who had been waiting to confront Alistair, assumed he had come to apologize.

When Alistair requested a meeting, Nathaniel deliberately made him wait for over an hour before finally receiving him with a stern expression.

Sitting behind his desk, Nathaniel adopted the demeanor of a displeased elder, his gaze heavy with disapproval as if daring

Alistair to try and talk his way out of this. But Alistair's first words hit like a thunderbolt. "Rebecca and I are divorced."

Nathaniel, seasoned and unshakable, recovered quickly. "Because of that woman yesterday?"

Alistair was baffled. "What?"

“Don't play dumb,” Nathaniel growled, his voice laced with authority. “I saw you at the restaurant yesterday. Don't tell me I mistook you for someone else. The place has surveillance-I can pull the footage anytime."

Only then did Alistair realize his encounter with Rebecca hadn't

been a coincidence.

But why don't they know about the divorce?

Well, that's not the point. The point is, since we're already divorced-and since Rebecca couldn't wait to kick me out- who I spend time with is none of their business. I really don't understand what Rebecca is trying to pull here.

Alistair was convinced Rebecca needed professional help-her delusions were getting worse.

Refusing to take the blame, he stated plainly. "Rebecca was the one who filed for divorce."

Nathaniel scoffed, "Then it must still be your fault. If everything was fine, why would she want a divorce? And who was that woman you were with? Did you leave my daughter for her?"
