The Ex-Tycoon's Pursuit: A Love Chase Story

On a quiet night in the bustling and noisy New York City. Alice Johnson was languidly slumped in the sofa, her fingers casually sliding over the screen of her mobile phone, browsing the latest news and information. "President of the Luo Group, Alex Luo, appeared at the top fashion party with the well-known model Sally Jones. The two spent a passionate night together in a luxury hotel, and reporters managed to capture their intimate moments..." This explosive news that instantly detonated the online trending search was like a depth charge, causing a huge stir on social media. Alice pushed up the black-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose and stared coldly at the news photos. Although the photos were somewhat blurry when taken, it was still clearly distinguishable that the handsome man passionately kissing a woman by the window in the photo was precisely her legal husband - the outstanding heir of the first major family in New York, Alex Luo. Alex Luo, this big shot who controlled the core lifeline of the New York economy and held an extremely respected position. Thinking back, their marriage was simply absurd to the extreme. For a full two years of marriage, Alex had never stepped foot into their home. Even at the crucial moment of registration for marriage, he did not show up. Instead, he sent his personal lawyer with their documents to handle the marriage formalities perfunctorily. She knew clearly in her heart that Alex had always been extremely averse and resistant to this marriage arranged by the family. Marrying her was only because of the strong insistence of Mrs. Luo. Because her grandfather had saved Mrs. Luo's life at a critical moment, Mrs. Luo insisted that the Luo family marry her in, hoping to give her a prosperous and stable life. At first, she also had a shred of unrealistic fantasy and expectation for this marriage. It's a pity that in these two years, Alex's** were as common as hot dog stands on the streets of New York, and the targets were all the glamorous female stars in the entertainment circle... Alice pursed her lips, took a deep breath, then took out her mobile phone and found the phone number of Alex that she had never** called before. This was the first time in two years that she mustered up the courage to call this number. The phone was connected quickly. "Hello, this is Alice." "Alice? Which Alice?" The male voice coming from the other end was deep and magnetic. Even though the tone was cold, it was still charming. Alice gave a helpless wry smile, tightly holding the phone, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "I'm the other half on your marriage certificate, Alice Johnson." "It's you. What's the matter?" The man's tone became even colder, as if carrying a layer of frost. Alice took a deep breath, tried to keep her voice calm, pushed up the frame of her glasses, and said firmly, "Let's divorce." There was a brief and heavy silence on the other end of the phone. Then Alex asked in a cold tone, "Have you thought it through?" "Of course. I've thought about it for a long time and I'm very sure." "You can state your conditions. I can give you a generous compensation." "No need! Mr. Luo, I don't covet your wealth. Of course, I'm even less willing to share love. I've already prepared the divorce agreement. I don't need your property. I just want to end this marriage as soon as possible." Alice finished speaking in one breath and hung up the phone without hesitation. She and he, apart from that cold marriage certificate, were more like two strangers living in parallel worlds with no intersection. From then on, they went their separate ways and had no further ties! Alice quickly went upstairs, resolutely took off the slightly dull black-framed glasses on her face, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face like an angel. She resolutely placed the carefully prepared divorce agreement on the coffee table in advance. Then, she dragged the already packed and neatly arranged suitcase and left without looking back. Luo Group. The warm and soft light gently illuminated the entire president's office, creating a comfortable yet dignified atmosphere. The man sitting in the executive chair was dressed in the simplest yet most elegant white shirt and black trousers. Despite the simple dress, his innate noble and dignified temperament still effortlessly emanated. Alex was concentrating on looking at the mobile phone screen, and a barely noticeable sneer appeared on his good-looking thin lips. His nominal wife finally couldn't tolerate this stagnant marriage and took the initiative to propose a divorce! Knock, knock. The crisp and rhythmic knocking echoed in the quiet office. Assistant Tom walked in with a respectful and composed posture. "President, the meeting time with Mr. Li is approaching. We should set off immediately to avoid being late." Alex responded faintly, with a hint of impatience in his voice, and got up to pick up the custom-made coat hanging on the back of the chair. "Tom, remove today's trending search about me. Also, ask the lawyer to handle the divorce certificate for me as soon as possible." Tom: "..." Their president has always been meticulous in maintaining his personal image and privacy. However, these recent frequent romantic news seemed to be deliberate, all aimed at waiting for this inevitable day of divorce! Alice called a taxi and went directly to the apartment she purchased in the city center. This apartment is located in the prime area of the city center and has three bedrooms and two spacious living rooms. In this precious place, the facilities of the apartment are not only first-class but also provide unparalleled luxury and convenience. After neatly placing the luggage in order, Alice stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, enjoying the breathtaking city night view outside. Then, she took out her mobile phone and called her best friend. "Betty, I'm divorced." "What? Alice, you're finally divorced! Great! Come out and party to celebrate your regained freedom and independence!" "OK. See you at the old place."
