Chapter 328 The Love That Should’ve Been MineÂ
Tyrone’s throat was being clutched so tightly that he could hardly breathe.Â
Alexander’s eyes were ablaze with raging fury, as if they’d been dyed with fresh blood. He glared icily at Tyrone and demanded roughly, “Do you think I won’t lay a hand on you just because Ethan’s your brother?”Â
Tyrone clawed at Alexander’s hand desperately, trying to pry it off his throat, but it was like trying to move a mountain.Â
After a futile struggle, he gave up. With a hoarse and pain–filled voice, he hissed defiantly, “If you dare hurt me today, my brother, Andrew, and Shawn won’t let you get away with it.”Â
Instead of showing an ounce of regret, Tyrone just gotÂ
cockier.Â
Alexander, who couldn’t stand being threatened, decided to put an end to this nonsense. He wasted no more words and just launched into action.Â

He wanted to see how Ethan, Andrew, and Shawn wouldÂ
come at him.Â
Before Tyrone could get his wits about him, Alexander’s fist landed square on his face.Â
He was completely stunned, forgetting even to defend himself.Â
After a wild flurry of blows, Alexander finally stopped.Â
Tyrone huddled in the corner of the bathroom, his face a mess of fear and confusion.Â
Alexander strode over to the sink and turned on the tap. He held his blood–splattered hand under the rushingÂ
water.Â
The water in the sink turned a deep crimson, and then slowly, the blood was washed away, leaving the water clear again.Â
Even after his hand was clean, Alexander didn’t turn off the tap immediately. Looking up at the mirror, he fixed his cold gaze on Tyrone in the corner and said, “Now, go ahead and call them.”Â

Seeing this, Alexander let out a scornful laugh.Â
He then turned off the tap and grabbed a couple of paper towels to dry his hands.Â
He balled up the towels and tossed them at Tyrone, sneering, “I’m staying right here tonight. Let’s see what you all can do to me.”Â
With that, he turned on his heel and walked out of theÂ
restroom.Â
In the private dining room, the dinner party was nearly wrapped up. But the guests were in no hurry to leave, chatting animatedly over coffee and desserts.Â
After Ethan and Nancy had clinked glasses with Oliver, Ethan felt his phone buzzing in his pocket.Â
He ignored it at first.Â
But when it kept going off, he figured it must be something serious.Â
He leaned over to Nancy and murmured, “I’ll step out to take this call. I’ll be right back.”Â

Nancy gave him a little nod.Â
Sitting across the table, Emily took in the whole scene.Â
After five years of marriage to Ethan, she’d never thought- he could be so thoughtful.Â
She’d always assumed his coldness came from his high–profile status, but now she realized it was just because his heart wasn’t in it.Â
As Ethan stepped out of the dining room, Alexander was relaxing on a sofa in the lounge area.Â
Their eyes met, but neither said a word.Â
Alexander leaned back and took a slow sip of his coffee.Â
Ethan stood a few feet away and checked his missed calls. Seeing it was Tyrone, he quickly dialed back.Â
The phone hadn’t even rung twice before Tyrone answered.Â
Tyrone’s hoarse voice broke through the silence. “Ethan, I was beaten,” he whined.Â

Before Tyrone could utter a word, from the sofa came Alexander’s calm voice.Â
He put down his coffee mug, turned his head, and said nonchalantly, “He’s in the restroom. I’m the one who gave him a beating.”Â
His tone was as casual as if he were talking about having a burger for lunch.Â
Ethan’s frown deepened. Without a single word, he spun on his heel and made a beeline for the restroom.Â
Alexander, not far behind, got up and trailed after him at a leisurely pace.Â
As they stepped into the bathroom, Tyrone’s wailing filled the air. “Ethan, it’s that son of a gun Alexander! He laid into me. Help me take him down!”Â
His face was a mess, blood trickling down, but he hadn’t bothered to clean it up.Â
Ethan was caught off guard by the sight.Â
Before he could gather his wits to question, Alexander3:16Â

who did it. Now, let’s see what you’re gonna do about it,” he challenged.Â
Ethan whirled around, his eyes ablaze with anger. “What the hell were you thinking?” he demanded.Â
Alexander’s face hardened. “Your little brother let Penelope mess with my girl. You tell me, doesn’t he deserve it?” he retorted loudly.Â
Ethan squinted, a hint of reproach in his voice. “All this, just for Emily? Can’t you think straight?”Â
Alexander picked up on the “not worth it” undertone.Â
In an instant, his temper flared.Â
He dropped his arms and roared at Ethan, “Do you think I enjoy being your competitor? Do you think I don’t want a win–win deal? But you, Ethan, you snatched away the love that should’ve been mine. And you treated her like dirt! I’ve hated you every day, wishing you’d drop dead. She was my precious one, and you just threw her away…”Â
Alexander paused, his eyes bloodshot with rage. His voice trembled as he gritted his teeth. “How could you do this 16Â
to her Ethan?”Â

Ethan was momentarily stunned by Alexander’s outburst.Â
Could this playboy actually be a hopeless romantic?Â
Without dwelling on it, Ethan simply said, “The one who loves unrequitedly is the real loser.”Â
Alexander sneered. “So what? I’m happy to be Emily’s lapdog,” he declared.Â
