GoodReadGetty managed to muster a smile, her voice laced with incredulity. "You're not joking, are you?"
A chuckle escaped Alexander's lips. "Would you compensateif | were ?"
Getty fell into silence, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts. The revelation from Alexander struck her like a lightning
bolt, scattering her excitement int o fragments of disarray.
She was not averse to material possessions, but her affection for Alexander was undeniably sincere. Yet, if he
had no intention of marrying her and was now devoid of wealth and power, what reason did she have to remain
by his side? Perhaps it was the prolonged silence that piqued Alexander's curiosity. He cast a sidelong glance at
her, his eyes questioning.
"What's the matter?"
Jolted back to reality, Getty managed to keep her smile intact. "Nothing, nothing at all. I'm just intrigued, why did
you abruptly resign?"
"My actions resulted in the company losing several billion," Alexander confessed, his tone devoid of emotion.
Getty's eyes widened in shock. "Billions?"
"es."
The word 'billions' nearly knocked Getty off her seat. She had no real comprehension of such a figure; after all,
she had never encountered such an amount in her lifetime. "So, you're in debt now?"
"You could put it that way."

also in debt. His image in her mind took a nosedive.
"Why the silence again?" Alexander's voice held a hint of amusement, a stark contrast to his current financial
predicament, which only served to confuse Getty further. She wondered if Alexander was testing her.
"What am | supposed to say? Are you planning on getting a divorce then?"
"I'm not," he replied, his tone firm and unwavering.

Getty's irritation bubbled to the surface. "Then what do you expectto say?"
Noticing the agent tuning into their conversation, she swallowed her words, deciding it was best to wait until
they were alone to voice her thoughts. Her mind was a storm of confusion. Deep down, if Alexander was willing
to divorce his wife and marry her, it wasn't something she'd outright reject. After all, a man of his pride wouldn't
really expect her to pay off his debts, would he? Moreover, as the saying goes, 'a lean camel is still bigger than a
horse' marrying Alexander wouldn't be a loss for her.
However, if he refused to divorce, what could she possibly look forward to?
Was she expected to endure hardships alongside him without recognition or bear the brunt of others’
disparagement?
This thought strengthened a sliver of resolve in Getty's heart.
Eventually, the car pulled up to Getty's neighborhood.

She instructed the agent to hail a cab home. Once he had departed, leaving just the two of them in the car,
Getty turned to Alexander, her eyes reflecting utmost seriousness. "Alexander, were you truly not joking?"
He met her gaze, his expression equally earnest and stern. "lI wasn't joking."
His response caused Getty's heart to flutter. She managed a smile, momentarily at a loss for words.
