After leaving, Alex didn't expect someone to use the vest he threw away to cause trouble.
The assistant called:
"Mr. Alex, you're on the hot search."
Alex: "?"
He didn't understand:
"What hot search?"
"You use Facebook? Download it and see."
[Don't say it, it seems like it is. So does anyone know who this man is?]
[I know a little. That girl seems to be the beauty of the journalism department of University A. As for this man, I don't know, but looking at his face, he's definitely the type of *I'm very rich*]
Alex logged out of Facebook, frowning in annoyance:
"Delete it. Where did you get the photo?"
These people are really troublesome; even the hot search is useless.
"Investigate clearly, I'll only give you half an hour."
The assistant replied awkwardly:
"...Yes, sir."
However, Alex underestimated the curiosity of netizens. When someone revealed that he was the CEO of a large company, fans became even more excited. The video of him and Veronika began to appear and spread quickly.

Alex looked at the phone screen, his eyes darkened. He sneered, coldly ordering:
"Find all those who spread this rumor, deal with it cleanly."
Half an hour later, Alex drove to the basement of Emma's company building.
[Are you free? I'm at your company.]
Emma looked at the message, slightly stunned. It's only 2 pm, is it too early to pick her up?
[I'm at the company, is there anything?]
[Yeah. If it's convenient, come down and see me for a moment.]
Looking at the message, Emma felt his serious tone. When no one was paying attention, she sneaked downstairs.
Alex leaned against the car, saw her running in a hurry, her breathing was a little hurried, he smiled slightly:
"What's the rush?"
Alex reached out to brush a strand of hair from her fair face, his eyes staring at her, his voice a little resentful:
"I was plotted against yesterday."
Emma was stunned:
"Conspiracy? What do you mean?"
"Last night at the party, there was a crazy person who said the wrong room and rushed in. She deliberately fell towards me, and I immediately dodged to the side. But my suit got dirty because of her, I left it behind and left. Who would have thought she would wear my suit, and even take pictures and post them online?"
Emma frowned:
"Who is she? Her behavior is crazy."
"Your ex-husband's mistress." Alex took out his phone to show her.
"...…"
*Veronika is so persistent.*
She scrolled through the photos and comments online that Alex had screenshotted and saved, the corners of her lips slightly raised:
"I know."
Alex looked at her, his voice a little worried:
"Don't be jealous. I haven't touched her yet."
Emma smiled:
"I'm not jealous."
Hearing this, Alex felt a little uncomfortable. He frowned, his expression full of strangeness:
"You... why aren't you jealous?"
"?"
What? He had already made everything clear; was there any need to be jealous?
Moreover, their relationship didn't need to be jealous.
Emma smiled, calmly saying:
"Because I trust you. You're not that kind of person."
Alex's lips curved into a smile:
"This is indeed the truth. I'm a very upright person."
"Okay, are you done talking? I have to go to work."
Emma was a little confused and asked, "Did you come here just to talk about this?"
"Yes." He nodded naturally. "It takes a while to delete the hot search. I'm afraid that if you see it and think about it again, what if you misunderstand me?"
Alex said with a natural expression, even a little smug: "I'm a man, it's okay to be misunderstood. But I can't let you suffer any loss, even just a little."
Emma's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She avoided his hot gaze, shyly saying, "I... I'm going to work."
She didn't understand why she had to run away so quickly. But his words seemed to accidentally touch a corner of her heart.
Sometimes, she couldn't understand Alex. Were his eyes smiling, was he serious, or was he just joking with her?
---
When her mood stabilized, she turned on her phone and saw that the photos related to them on the internet had completely disappeared.
Instead, Alex's account posted a new post on Facebook.
[Stop spreading rumors. My wife will be angry.]
Attached was a 58-second video, recording the entire scene of Veronika deliberately falling and making a scene at last night's party.
Emma's lips curved slightly. She realized how "indifferent" Alex was to others, and she happily turned back to look.
Veronika's face must have been swollen with embarrassment.
---
The online reaction was also explosive:
[Oh my god, this twist. As expected, the real-life CEO is never moved by "touching other people's hearts" tricks. Novels are still just novels.]
[But do you guys realize the key point? "Wife"??? I just found a top guy, but it turns out he already has a wife. President Alex, who is your wife? Can you make her disappear for a day so I can try being your wife?]
Emma saw under that prominent comment, what immediately caught her attention was Alex's answer:
[Impossible. My wife can only be her.]
Why do you say that...
Emma couldn't help but secretly take a screenshot of this post and save it.

'Handsome Guys' group chat.
Kyle Lowe: *@Patrick, hey, what's wrong with your best friend? When did he get married?*
Justin: *Huh, I've met my third uncle's wife.*
Blake: *Who is she? Where's the picture?*
Justin: *No. Why don't you ask my uncle yourself?*
Patrick: *They wouldn't dare. They'd only dare to talk badly about Alex behind his back.*
Blake: *@Austin, send me a list of the most popular young ladies in New York.*
Austin: *... Are you sure she's from New York?*
Blake: *Of course. As soon as he arrived in New York, Alex's soul was taken away. He even flew around like he was on a plane. I really want to see who that little goblin is.*
Patrick: *Did you forget? I added him to the group last week.*
Blake: *?*
Justin: *?*
---
Alex looked at the chaotic messages in the group and curled his lips slightly:
Alex: *@Blake, who is the elf?
The group: *...*
Alex's answer not only caused the group chat to explode but also spread throughout the upper class in Washington.

The most shocked person was probably his mother, Scarlett. She couldn't stand still, her face full of surprise:
"My son is married?"
David cleared his throat:
"It's just a marriage registration, there's no wedding yet."
"Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing?"
Scarlett was busy with her son's blind dates every day, yet he just got married like that?
It was too absurd.
