Jaden stood in the study, staring blankly at the white dress that had been torn into pieces on the floor!
After a long while, he finally seemed to come back to his senses and bent down to pick up the fragments of the dress, one by one. A tear rolled down his cheek and fell to the floor with a soft drip.
Jaden finally realized that the person he had longed for over ten years had once been right beside him. X
Alexandra had cared for him every day without complaint. She must have secretly hoped countless times that he would one day recognize her
“Alexandra…” Jaden began to cry in sorrow. “It’s been four years, why didn’t you tell me? You clearly knew my identity long ago, so why didn’t you ever tell me?”
If she hadn’t known who he was, she wouldn’t have
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I lost you…” he cried ”
e stayed
by his side for four years as a mere caregiver.
The assistant returned and saw Jaden emotionally falling apart in the study.
It was the first time he had seen Jaden like this. Back when the Philemon Family’s heirs fought for power and caused the death of Jaden’s mother, he had been heartbroken, but never as devastated as he was now.
The assistant pretended not to see and quietly stood at the door, waiting for Jaden to calm down. He waited the entire night. All night, Jaden didn’t leave the study.
Inside the room, it was sometimes completely silent, sometimes punctuated by Jaden’s occasional laughter and sometimes by his soft sobbing. The assistant waited quietly at the door and didn’t dare disturb him.
Until dawn broke, everything finally stopped.

Jaden sat at the desk, holding the pieces of the white dress in both hands, his expression calm, “Come in.”
The assistant entered the study again, standing at the door with his head lowered, not daring to meet Jaden’s eyes.
Jaden was too unstable right now. If the assistant made a mistake or upset him, it would be disastrous.
A long while passed without Jaden saying anything. The assistant could feel his scalp tingling under Jaden’s gaze.
Just when the assistant thought he wouldn’t speak, he finally heard Jaden’s hoarse voice, “You said earlier, Alexandra is in the UK?”
The assistant said, “Yes. Miss Swann joined the UK’s Global Records Group.
“You’re sure it’s really her?” Jaden stared at the assistant, his eyes cold and terrifying.
The assistant lowered his head even more. He braced himself and replied, “Yes, I’ve already contacted the UK side. I’m certain.”
Jaden said, “Good, Prepare the private jet to the UK. I’m going to personally bring Alexandra back.“2
He nodded, “Yes, Mr. Philemon.”
Just as the assistant turned to leave, after walking a few steps, Jaden called him back, “Wait. Take this dress and give it to Cecilia. Tell her to sew it back together.
The assistant glanced at the torn dress in Jaden’s hands, unable to imagine how it could ever be restored into a complete dress again, “Mr. Pulemon, this dress is completely shredded You want Miss Santoz to sew it by hand?”
–
“Yes. Not a single stitch can be wrong and there mustn’t be any visible signs of repair, Jaden said.
That was practically an impossible task
The assistant sighed. Well, Cecilia had brought this upon herself. This was beyond his concern now.
Jaden coldly gave his final deadline, ‘She has only one day. Tomorrow, I’m bringing this dress with me on the plane.”
The assistant nodded and took the fragments of the dress down to the basement!!
