Alexander’s reaction shocked everyone, especially Callie.
Callie looked at Alexander and watched as he and Amber held each other’s hands. She felt the
judgmental eyes of the crowd on her, and the tears of joy on her face stopped flowing. ‘He…… He
doesn’t recognize me? How is that possible?‘
“This is the Chairman of Callie Group, Callie Xanthos.” Amber was equally surprised, but she
introduced Callie to Alexander as requested. “Miss Xanthos wanted to make a deal with me. She
wanted to trade the Callie Group in exchange for me divorcing you-”
“That’s enough!” snapped Callie, cutting Amber off abruptly.
She dragged her startled body over to Alexander, looked at him in the eyes, and asked in a trembling
voice. “Alexander, you’re lying. I know you’re lying! You can’t possibly have forgotten
1. me. I am Callie, your Callie!
“I adored you ever since we were kids. You were the apple of my eye! When I was five years old, you

mountain. You wrapped me in your arms to protect me as we tumbled down the mountain.
“You were injured all over your body, leaving a deep and visible scar on your leg. The doctor said
that the scar would be there for the rest of your life.”
Alexander blinked his eyes and smiled apologetically at Callie. “Miss Xanthos, I think you
misunderstood.”
With that said, he bent and pulled up his pant legs, revealing the strong and smooth muscle on his leg
with a broad smile on his face. “This should be enough to prove that I am not the Alexander
you knew. We may have the same name, but I am not him.”
Callie’s face froze at the sight of Alexander’s legs. She recalled how Alexander’s legs were covered
with scars that even the best–kept wound–healing medicine from the Kane and Xanthos families could
not reduce its scarring. Especially the deepest one, which, much like their engagement, was deeply
imprinted in her heart.
However, Alexander stood before her with smooth skin on both legs.
“You must’ve had skin implant surgery. That’s right, that must be it!” After a brief moment of stunned
disbelief, Callie concluded and could not hold back her tears. “Why? Why won’t you admit that you’re
my Alexander? I knew I had the right person; I won’t confuse you with anyone else.”
Alexander lowered the legs of his pants, the smile on his face slowly fading. “Miss Xanthos, have

you had enough?”
He looked calmly at Callie and spoke indifferently, “I’ve already made the arrangements, so I have
nothing to do with you. I’ll be nice since you’re a lady. I, Alexander, already have a beloved wife, a
lovely daughter, and a happy and fulfilling family.
“Even if what happened today wasn’t a misunderstanding, even if I am the Alexander you are looking
for, I can only regretfully tell you that you won’t get anything from Amber. Till death do us part–this is
the kind of relationship between Amber and I have. Do you understand?”

It was a hard blow. Callie took three steps back, her petite body shaking, and her face drained of
any color.
She understood. No matter who he was, he was no longer the Alexander she knew. That was a fact
that could not be changed. The boy had long since lost the youthfulness of a teenager and was named
the uncrowned King of Zabaleta and possibly the Lord of War who defeated the Tate.
She lost.
“I wish you both eternal happiness and grow old together… I’m sorry.” After saying her good wishes,
Callie burst into tears, not caring about the strange eyes around her. She turned and got out of the door
before crying her heart out in the hallway.
“Alexander.” Amber’s calm bravado ebbed away slowly after Callie left her office. Holding on to
Alexander’s big hand, she whispered in a voice small enough for only two of them to hear, “Why did
you pretend that you don’t know her? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll be sad?”
Alexander shook his head, his eyes sharp. Reconnecting with Callie would bring no benefits. Instead, it
would be to scare the snakes away. ‘That stupid girl. My guess is that she doesn’t know she’s been
followed!‘
