Chapter 549
Getty's voice bore an impatient edge as she retorted, "It's plastered all over the internet, how could I not know? Don't you?"
Walter, taken aback, hesitated. Truth be told, he was oblivious, having never been one to keep abreast of the entertainment news.
With a flick of her wrist, Getty unlocked her phone and nonchalantly presented him with a trending search. "See for yourself," she commanded.
Accepting the device, Walter scrolled through the feed with a casual air. The hot topic of the day was an incident at the City Hall, where two men had been caught on camera, brawling over a woman.
Under normal circumstances, such an event would be mundane, but the protagonist of this spectacle was none other than Alexander. Given the previous rumors linking Alexander and Getty, the public had naturally assumed they were an item. However, the revelation that Alexander was now fighting over another woman with a man named Orion, whose identity was subsequently exposed as the second son of the Heart Entertainment Group, added a layer of intrigue to the gossip.

Their involvement in such a brawl was a deviation from their usual behavior, and this deviation piqued the public's interest to an unprecedented degree. The question on everyone's lips was, who was the woman who had ignited such a fierce rivalry between these two proud men?
The photographs suggested that Alexander had come off second best in the fight. As a consequence, Getty found herself caught in the crossfire, with the public demanding an explanation.
Having discovered the news, Getty had tried to reach Alexander, but to no avail. She had no choice but to come here.
After digesting the information, Walter returned the phone to Getty, a chuckle escaping his lips as he remained silent.
Getty grumbled, "Now you understand, don't you? He didn't even attempt to manage this situation. Just when the rumors about us had started to fade, he's stirred the pot again, adding insult to injury." Walter's chuckle deepened. "He's currently occupied with a business trip to Sylvadora, so naturally, he can't be bothered with this."
In fact, this news had no bearing on Alexander. Regardless of whether he addressed it or not, it wouldn't affect him. After all, he didn't care about his reputation.
Getty was taken aback. "He said he was going on a business trip, to Sylvadora?"
"What? Didn't he tell you?"
Frustration crept into Getty's voice. "Of course not, if he had, would I be asking you?"
After a moment's thought, she turned to Walter, "Him and you, anyone else?"
Walter raised an eyebrow, "Why don't you ask him yourself, Getty."
Getty's gaze narrowed suspiciously at Walter. Even though he remained silent, she could guess the truth.

Their conversation was interrupted by the arrival of Alexander, descending from upstairs. He was dressed casually, not deeming Walter a stranger. He wore a silver robe, his chest exposed but shielded by a chest belt, ensuring nothing crucial was visible.
Upon seeing him, Getty immediately approached him. "Alexander, hello."
As she neared, Getty could clearly see the faint scratch marks on his shoulders and chest, unmistakably left by a woman. She could easily envision how those marks had been made.
Jealousy surged within Getty, her nails producing a cracking sound as she clenched her fists. She attempted to mask her feelings, but her slightly distorted features betrayed her inner turmoil.
"Why are you here?" Alexander glanced at her, then sidestepped her to retrieve a cigarette from the coffee table. He settled onto the sofa, lighting up.
Getty followed, standing beside him and asked, "Have you seen the news?"
"I haven't, not interested."
