Episode 3

Early in the morning... It had dawned clear.

As Alexander was preparing to leave, a middle-aged woman suddenly entered from outside and stopped him.

It was Yonathan's mother, Wendy.

"Alexander, I haven't seen you in several days, are you avoiding me?"

"No, is there something you need?"

"Oh, nothing, I just wanted to ask you, is he… willing to divorce? If he doesn't want to, I can swallow my pride and beg him. What do you think?"

Alexander arched his eyebrows imperceptibly.

"He will, you don't have to kneel."

Wendy was surprised.

"Is he really willing? Have you spoken to him?"

"Yes, he's willing."

Wendy was puzzled. Was Lyon really willing to divorce Alexander?

The Moore family was a top-tier wealthy family. The Moore Group was built by the family, a huge business empire with a market value of up to 10 trillion dollars. As the only Alpha in the Moore family, Alexander was a high-profile and desired son-in-law.

He is the sole heir of the Moore family. He became the new CEO of the Moore Group, beginning to control the entire business empire.

Except for the Ford corporation, which was the most important and prestigious, with a market value of 25 trillion dollars, and its heir was a mysterious Omega.

If it weren't for Lyon saving Grandma Moore, who insisted that her grandson marry Lyon as a token of gratitude, how could a wild Omega from the countryside marry into the Moore family?

"Hahaha, if he's willing, that's great. So, when do you plan to have a wedding ceremony with Yonathan? It's not that I'm impatient, it's just that the child in Yonathan's womb can't wait, I don't think you'd want your child to be illegitimate, right?"

Alexander felt inexplicably irritable.

"We'll do it as soon as possible, ma'am. You can go up and see how Yonathan is doing. I have things to do at the company."

Seeing him try to leave after a few sentences, Wendy's face couldn't help but darken.

Lyon stayed up all night, feeling terrible in the morning, feeling nauseous and vomiting in the bathroom until tears streamed down his face.

As he was vomiting, a voice suddenly sounded.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick with anger?"

Lyon turned his head and saw that Alexander had returned at some point. He stood there, cold and upright, looking noble and handsome.

Lyon rinsed his mouth and replied casually.

"I might have eaten something bad last night. I slept well, I'm not angry, so how could I get sick with anger?"

"Then why are your eyes swollen? Were you crying?"

Lyon hesitated and then said.

"I had a dream. I dreamt of the person I used to be in love with and cried for him. It wasn't because of you."

Alexander's face darkened:

"Are you still in love with someone?"

"Yes, what's wrong? Are you jealous?"

"You're overthinking it!"

Of course, Lyon knew he was overthinking it and quickly changed the subject.

"I'm not feeling well, you make breakfast today!"

Alexander said coldly.

"Are you ordering me around?"

"Alexander, you don't like employees in the house, so the servants only come to clean at set times. I've been cooking for you for the three months we've been married. Now that I'm not feeling well and I'm asking you to make breakfast, you don't want to?"

Alexander frowned at Lyon, feeling that he had somehow changed overnight. He even dared to give him orders.

He was silent for a long time before finally going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. The house was strangely quiet; the two ate in silence, without communicating.

It wasn't until Mrs. Moore arrived that the silence was broken.

Dressed in a luxurious outfit, Mrs. Moore took the main seat in the living room as soon as she arrived, her tone conveying a sense of superiority.

"Lyon, I want you to divorce my son."

Lyon used to be somewhat afraid of this domineering mother-in-law, but now, when faced with divorce, what did he have left to fear?

Without humility or arrogance, he said.

"Your dear son hasn't given me the papers to sign yet."

Mrs. Moore sneered disdainfully.

"You have a lover and therefore we won't give you a single penny... You have no rights. If you keep dragging this out, I'll kick you out of the city, a peasant like you won't know what to do."

Lyon knew that this woman had always looked down on him, resorting to verbal blows whenever they talked. He used to endure those sarcastic comments in the past, but he saw no need to please them now. Ironically, this realization was somewhat liberating for him.

"There's no need to worry about that. It's me who doesn't want a single penny."

A sarcastic laugh escaped Mrs. Carmen Moore.

"What big words! Aren't you afraid your tongue will get twisted? You can't come pathetically whining for help, no matter that you're almost ready to kneel before me."

The blood drained from Lyon's face.

Observing Lyon's sudden pallor, Carmen's arrogance increased.

"What's wrong? Not so defiant now? Keeping your head high requires some capital to begin with. You have nothing. Pretending otherwise will only get you struck by lightning. Our Moore family can't afford such a shameless son-in-law. You were never worthy of our Alexander. If it hadn't been for you saving Grandma, it would have been impossible for you to marry the Alpha son of the Moores, not even in another lifetime will it happen."

"We've already thanked you for saving Grandma before, we don't owe you anything. The fact that I allowed you into my house was purely out of respect for the old lady. But you are insatiable, you want the Moore family to fill your empty pockets and support your lover."

"I can't tolerate such a shameless and ungrateful Omega. You'd better pack your things and leave! You can only take what you brought that day."

As Lyon listened to Mrs. Moore's increasingly unpleasant words, he remained calm and retorted.

"You're so anxious to get rid of me, is it because you want to make way for your future son-in-law? After all, he can't keep the pregnancy a secret for much longer."

Carmen's face changed.

"What nonsense are you talking?"

Lyon replied to her.

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you would know better than I. Acting ignorant? Pretending will only attract attention."

Mrs. Moore rose from her chair.

"You!..."

Alexander, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke in a cold tone.

"Lyon, watch your mouth!"

Lyon turned to look at him, to claim he wasn't disappointed or sad would be a lie. But he knew he shouldn't let these emotions show on his face.

He replied in a calm tone, but his pheromones were aggressive.

"I'm just returning your own words. Is this disrespectful? Then why did you say them? You two are bullies. You can accuse me, but I can't retaliate? What do I owe you?"

Carmen was outraged.

"Look at you, Lyon! All this time, you've been pretending to be good, and now your true face is revealed! I am your mother-in-law. Is this how you speak to your elders? What a lack of manners!"

"Soon you will no longer be my mother-in-law," Lyon refused to back down. "For you to use your old age to put me down, one must first have the bearing of an elder, and be upright and virtuous to earn respect! The good son raised by you, with only three months of our marriage, has already fathered an illegitimate child with another Omega."

"This is the kind of twisted and shameless 'family tradition' of the Moore family. Ignoring ethics and morals. No matter how rich such a family is, I can't continue to live among them."
