Samuel gazed at Claudius. "How did you know that you and Sophia got divorced?"
"I remembered that we had gone to the City Hall to get our divorce certificate," Claudius replied.
Samuel took a sip of his red wine, feeling that Alexander's question was really putting him in a difficult
position.
"So... At that time, you didn't like Sophia, and when she suggested a divorce, you went along with it,"
Samuel said, trying to clarify.
"If I didn't like Sophia, why did I marry her in the first place?" Claudius asked, throwing another
curveball.
Samuel felt that Alexander had invited him over tonight to play the role of the bad guy. Bringing up
these old, complicated issues made him feel as though he was betraying Sophia.
After all, if Sophia didn't even mention any of this to Alexander, she probably didn't want to bring it up.
It's all in the past, so why bring it up now?
Although Samuel was sometimes slow to react, it didn't mean he was stupid.
When Samuel didn't say anything, Claudius asked, "Was there a misunderstanding?"
"Not exactly," Samuel replied. He looked at Claudius with mixed emotions. "Have you ever considered
whether or not Sophia wants you to know about these things?"
Claudius furrowed his brows slightly. "Before Sophia left tonight, I asked her a question."
"What did you ask her?"
What does this have to do with the current issue?
"I asked her if she would still be with me if I never remembered the things from the past."
Samuel raised an eyebrow. "What was her answer?"
"She said, 'After all, you're still Alexander.'"
Samuel was taken aback. He had just been hit with a dose of cheesy public display of affection.
"So why didn't you just ask her about the past directly?"
"I didn't want to upset her."
Samuel was speechless. "I thought you have amnesia, but the way you treat Sophia doesn't seem like
it at all!"
Claudius glared at Samuel. "Will my amnesia affect my feelings for Sophia?"
I shouldn't have come here in the first place!
Samuel wiped his face, not wanting to continue the topic. He decided to answer Claudius' question
instead. "You married Sophia because she saved your mom—oh, your stepmom, Kristen, whom you
don't remember anyway, so let's not worry about her. You said you would give Sophia money, and she
originally asked for five million, then ten million, and finally three hundred million. In the end, she asked
to marry you.
"Your relationship with Kristen wasn't good at that time, and she was always trying to get you to marry
someone from a family that matched yours better, so you just married Sophia. By the way, I forgot to
tell you that Sophia kept a really low profile at that time. I mean, even though she was very rich, no one
knew. So when she married you, everyone in Jadeborough, including you and me, thought she married
up and was trying to rise up in the Xenos family.
"You told me that Sophia was too scheming and had a big plan. After you got married, you let Sophia
live in the Xenos residence while you stayed at the condominium. Kristen and your conniving younger
sister were both schemers. They caused trouble for Sophia during those three years. Later, Sophia
probably felt disillusioned and asked for a divorce."
Claudius looked at his wine glass, lost in thought. "Was I good to Sophia during those three years?"
Samuel glanced at him. "If you were good to Sophia, do you think she would divorce you?"
Claudius frowned. "What about you?"
One couldn't deny that Alexander had a knack for direct questioning, which was true in the past and
remained so in the present.
Samuel rubbed his nose irritably. "You weren't good to her, so do you think I could be better to her than
you? Speaking of that, it was you who denied your feelings for Sophia and caused the divorce. Then
you shamelessly went to her and asked her back afterward, and even I couldn't look at you with a
straight face."
Lowering his head and keeping silent, Claudius was lost in thought.
Since he last saw Sophia in Lightspring, he had sporadically remembered some things.
However, those memories were all fragments, like him and Sophia getting divorced, Sophia slapping
him, or Sophia being with another man.
Those things were all disjointed, and he couldn't put together what had happened.
As Samuel was speaking, he remembered the slip of the tongue he had made at the auction before, so
he became a bit uneasy and dared not say too much. He lowered his head and drank his sorrows away
in silence.
Claudius pieced together what he had remembered and what Samuel had told him. Now, he had a
rough outline of what had happened between him and Sophia.
"What about Kristen? Where is she now?"
Samuel had never liked Kristen. If it weren't for Kristen, people wouldn't have said so much about
Alexander behind his back when he was a child.
Now that he knew Kristen wasn't Alexander's biological mother at all, he naturally didn't want to know
anything more about her.
However, Kristen was still Alexander's mother on paper, and she had been Mrs. Xenos for over ten
years. Although she was kicked out of the family, people still liked to gossip about her.
Samuel didn't need to pay attention. He had heard enough about it.
"She seems to be in prison."
"In prison?"
Samuel nodded. "Besides having a younger sister who is not related to you by blood, you also have a
younger brother who is the same and a real troublemaker. He was spoiled by Kristen and has done a
lot of stupid things. Before your accident, Leonard was sued by many people. Kristen worked with your
cunning and sly uncle, Dillon, to get her son out.
"But Dillon couldn't compete with you and Sophia and was also sent to prison. Recently, I heard that he
has terminal lung cancer and is applying for medical parole. After his family fell apart, Kristen had a
fallout with him. Leonard was sentenced to more than ten years, and Kristen wanted to reduce his
sentence. She somehow hooked up with a prison guard, but he denied it afterward and wouldn't help
her. Kristen got angry and ended up stabbing him with a knife. Later, she was arrested and is supposed
to go to court this month. She'll probably get sentenced to three to five years in prison."
"Okay," Claudius responded. "I've asked everything I need to. You can go back now."
Samuel was speechless.
Is he just using and throwing me away like that?
Noticing that Samuel was in a daze, Claudius explained, "I've been on a plane for more than ten hours.
I'm tired."
Samuel felt comforted. "All right, get some rest, then. I'll make a move."
After drinking, Samuel couldn't drive himself back and had to call for a driver.
He had had too much to drink. According to the Schild family's butler, Samuel even hugged a vase and
wailed, "Alex, it's great that you're not dead."
Samuel cried for most of the night, and the people living in the Schild residence were disturbed by his
wailing.
The next day, Samuel slept until almost eleven. When he woke up, he realized that he hadn't taken a
shower the night before.
Hmm, I smell bad all over.
He quickly took a shower and came out with his stomach growling. Then, he hurried downstairs to find
something to eat.
When he saw the dark circles under the butler's eyes, Samuel clicked his tongue and said, "Jorge,
you're getting old. You shouldn't stay up late. It's not good for your health."
Jorge was speechless.
At this moment, Petunia, the housekeeper, brought some oatmeal, and Samuel saw the dark circles
under her eyes too. Startled, he glanced at the butler again.
Oh, I was too naïve.
However, Samuel soon realized that not only Jorge and Petunia had dark circles under their eyes.
Even the gardener and the chef didn't look too good.
Before leaving, Samuel couldn't help but ask, "Was there a burglar in the house last night? You guys
don't look so good. Did you not sleep well?"
One of the Schild family members who had just returned slapped Samuel on the head, took out the
video he had recorded last night, and said, "Take a look at yourself. You were wailing like a pig. Who
can sleep through that?"
After watching the video, Samuel was dumbfounded.
