chapter 8 farce ending

Isla Song hesitated for a moment. Making her reveal the truth from four years ago in front of everyone, wouldn't that ruin her?
But if she didn't speak, she wouldn't get Alexander Xu's forgiveness. With such a valuable connection, she just needed to hold onto it tightly. What did she have to worry about in the future?
It was just a matter of reputation. As long as she reconciled with Alexander Xu and had the Su family as her backing, who would dare to gossip or criticize her behind her back?
After briefly weighing the pros and cons, regret filled Isla Song's face.
"I'm the murderer! I'm sorry, Alexander Xu, it's all my fault!"
"Four years ago, it was me who accidentally killed someone. If you hadn't taken pity on me, fearing that I'd suffer, and shouldered the blame for me, I wouldn't be here today."
"I originally wanted to wait for you to be released and marry you. But I never expected that Barry Ye would threaten me, saying that he'd expose the truth if I didn't be with him!"
Isla Song wept with a face full of tears, painting herself as an innocent victim and shifting all the blame onto Barry Ye.
Alexander Xu smiled, but his smile was particularly cold. He had no idea that Isla Song had two faces.
Everyone attending this gathering was astute, and Isla Song's pitiful words had no effect on them.
"This woman is truly heartless. Mr. Xu kindly helped her, took the blame for her, but instead of being grateful, she not only went off with another man but also insulted Mr. Xu. She's worse than an animal."
"She's really ungrateful. Mr. Xu was righteous in helping her, but instead of showing gratitude, she added more misery to him when he was down and out. Truly shameless."
"Mr. Xu is indeed kind and righteous, worthy of being friends with Mr. Su."
The guests around them praised Alexander Xu, and Gary Su also looked at him with approval. "This young man truly lives up to the phrase 'a doctor with a kind heart.' He's willing to endure all hardships for his loved ones. Only through enduring the harshest of hardships can one reach the pinnacle. This young man's future achievements will surely be outstanding."
Alexander Xu nodded in response with a smile, but he was well aware that these people were only trying to please Gary Su.
However, he believed that one day, these people would flatter him for his own sake.
He wouldn't be disheartened by this momentary setback. He now held the Divine Healers Scriptures and had full confidence.
Isla Song didn't care about the reactions of others; she just needed to hold onto Alexander Xu tightly.
"Alexander Xu, I've done everything you asked of me. Isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise? Can you forgive me now? It was my fault back then, but I've always had you in my heart. Can't we reconcile?"
"What do you think? How can you shamelessly come and ask for my forgiveness with a straight face? After I was imprisoned for you, you immediately got together with Barry Ye. And even after I was released, you insulted and humiliated me. Why do you think I would forgive you?"
Alexander Xu narrowed his eyes, not hiding his disgust.
He should consider himself lucky for seeing through this woman's ugly side in time.
"No... Alexander Xu, you've misunderstood me! It was all Barry Ye's demand. If I didn't agree to him, he would ruin me!"
"Then why are you saying it now?" Alexander Xu smirked. "Isla Song, all you want is money and status. Stop portraying yourself as a pitiful victim. You're embarrassing yourself, and I'm embarrassed for you."
"Alexander Xu! You don't keep your word! You clearly promised me that as long as I revealed the truth from four years ago, you would forgive me!"
Isla Song's face turned pale, and she felt utterly humiliated by Alexander Xu's insults in front of everyone. She had already lost all her dignity. If Alexander Xu refused to forgive her and reconcile with her, how could she continue to survive in Donghai City?
Alexander Xu laughed, his eyes filled with mockery. "Isla Song, you made me endure four long years of suffering in that prison. Do you know what kind of dark and hopeless days I went through in there?"
"Do you know the pain I had to endure just to make it to today?"
"You know nothing about it, and you betrayed me, who was wholeheartedly devoted to you. I will never forgive you in this lifetime, never. Get out!"
"How can you go back on your word like this?"
Isla Song hesitated for a moment, tears streaming down her once charming face, smudging her delicate makeup.
Upon hearing this, Alexander Xu's smile grew even wider. He snorted and mocked, "Seems like the one who can't keep their word is you, right? You were supposed to marry me once I got out of prison, but what did you do? You gave me such a huge humiliation, and now you want me to forgive you? Who do you think you are?"
"You! How can you treat me like this?"
Isla Song was shocked. Wasn't Alexander Xu supposed to love her the most?
She had begged him so hard, and Alexander Xu had willingly shouldered the blame for her as a murderer.
She had thought Alexander Xu would always love and protect her, but she never expected this man to change his mind so easily!
"Security, take this crazy woman out!"
"Yes, Mr. Su."
The security guards standing around them heard Gary Su's command and rushed to escort Isla Song out.
She struggled but had no chance. They showed her no mercy, forcefully escorting her out by her arms.
"It's just a little drama; don't let it bother you. Let the party continue!"
Gary Su said indifferently, and the guests around him smiled, nodded, and agreed. No matter how important they were, they dared not be impolite in front of him.
"Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry for making you unhappy tonight. It's my fault for inviting you to this party."
Gary Su apologized sincerely, knowing that the Su family owed Alexander Xu a great debt of gratitude. He should have repaid it genuinely, but due to his momentary mistake, Alexander Xu was in a bad mood. It was his fault.
"No worries, just a coincidence."
Alexander Xu shook his head and smiled. He wasn't someone who held grudges. He couldn't blame Gary Su for this.
Gary Su smiled gratefully and started talking to Alexander Xu about other matters.
"I never expected Mr. Xu to be so selfless, willing to bear a false accusation for the woman he loves and endure unbearable pain that others can't imagine."
When Gary Su spoke these words, his gaze was extremely sincere, filled with genuine admiration.
"Well, I just made a foolish mistake."
Alexander Xu chuckled self-deprecatingly. He didn't want to dwell on the events from four years ago, but it seemed that some people just couldn't resist bringing it up.
However, this time, he was determined to show those people that he wasn't a pushover, and not just anyone could take advantage of him.
"But sometimes, good deeds don't necessarily lead to good outcomes."
Gary Su also sighed, surprising Alexander Xu with his words. Did the CEO of the Su family have his own untold story?
"Clap, clap, clap!”
Applause suddenly rang out, and everyone turned to see a middle-aged man wearing a well-tailored designer suit, wearing a smile, walking gracefully towards them.
This man was none other than Leo Sun, the CEO of Qinglong Pharmaceutical under the Sun family.
