Alexis didn't know why Chleo had the heart to leave him for that man two years ago, but he did know that Chleo didn't marry Axel out for love.
Everything was clearly seen in the girl's eyes as she severed their bond firmly. The girl lied when she said the girl loved someone else.
If Chleo loved someone else, why did her eyes look broken and sad? Why did her expression say that Chleo still loved him but was forced to lie?
Alexis quickly suspected a hidden agreement between Chleo and his uncle.
Two years ago, he failed to keep Chleo by his side because he chose his company. He chose his ground and power for revenge.
Now he had solidified his company's defenses and selected trusted and talented people in their fields to support his business. His brother had also retreated and was probably waiting for a fault to attack when Alexis was off guard.
