Chapter 429
His Lordship Alexander Kane
The temperature in the room seemed to have dropped after Callie made the offer.
In the office were Amber, Acela, Callieâs two bodyguards, a few other New Chesire Group bodyguards, and a business manager.
Everyone in the office and the hallway outside the office was dead silent.
Those who heard Callieâs offer, including the security guards, knew how crazy that was. If Amber accepted the offer and became
the new owner of Callie Group, the merger of the New Chesire Group and the Callie Group would be on the front page of the
local and international news.
The northern, domestic, Olâ Mare, and Zabaleta businesses would be impacted. It would be
nothing short of a major economic storm that would shake the industries in which the two
companies were involved.
Such was Callieâs stake in stealing Alexander from Amber.
Everyone's eyes were on Amber, anticipating her response.
They were likely to witness a historic moment when two women traded tens of billions of dollars
in assets for a mysterious man who married into a wealthy family.
Amber calmed down after a moment of shock. âI disagree.â
She slowly got up from her office swivel chair and looked firmly at Callie. She showed no hesitation or fear. âAlexander is my
husband, my daughterâs father.
âHe is not a commodity; he is not a product. Even if youâre rich and powerful, even if you pay a high price, I wonât give my
husband away. Donât think you can ever steal him from me.
âMiss Xanthos, you are not welcome here. Please leave!â
Callie took half a step back, still staring coldly at Amber.
Callie never made acquaintance with the word âimpossibleâ. To her, everything could be traded for money, including relationships
and people.
âDon't be too sure.â She turned, walked slowly to the sofa, and sat down. She poured herself a cup of hot tea and cupped the tea
gently in her hand. Her posture in the discussion was as if she was talking about a trivial matter that did not affect her much.
âI've defeated countless competitors in the business arena, and youâre no exception. Nobody can make me leave this office until
I meet Alexander. And when heâs here, you'll soon understand what

it means to have no money and no husband. Donât regret it.
âNow is the time. Divorce Alexander, and you'll take over Callie Group.â
Callie stood firm by her stance. She was determined to take Alexander, and she would not give in
easily.
Just when the two women were in a state of war...
âWhat a crowd we have here. Itâs so busy in the office today.â
A familiar young manâs voice came from the end of the corridor, instantly drawing everyoneâs attention. The smell of gunpowder
in the air dissipated.
It was none other than Alexander.
âAlexander!â Callie was startled the moment Alexander appeared. She immediately got up from the sofa. Her eyes swept through
the crowd and down the hallway to the approaching figure, tears welling in her eyes.
Although Callie had not seen Alexander in six years, she recognized him immediately. His appearance, his voice, his relaxed
smile, his confidence;.everything about him.
It was him, it had to be him, the Alexander whom she missed. The man she was engaged to.
âAlexander? Do you recognize me?â
Alexander raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head, and smiled at Callie before walking past
her and toward Amber. He held his wifeâs hand and smiled warmly at her.
âWho is she? How come Iâve never seen her before? Amber, will you introduce me?â
