“Shut up!”
Before Mara could finish her words, Heriberto angrily interrupted her. His unpleasant face instantly turned icy
cold.
Mara looked at him and suddenly trembled all over.
“Iris and | aren’t divorced yet. You keep calling her a thief. Are you trying to slapin the face?”

dripping with rage.
Mara stared at him, completely terrified and frozen.
“What do you mean by stealing? Ms. Caine, tell me. What is stealing?”

“M-Mr. Hale...” Mara was trembling all over and on the verge of tears.
“Put the items down and get out!” Heriberto roared again.
Mara nodded frantically, quickly put the items down, and dashed out as if escaping.
When she reached the door, her high heels tripped and she fell. But she didn’t dare to delay, quickly got up and

He looked like a dead man.
Then, just before the end of the workday, Melanie Montelle called.
“Heri, let's have dinner together. I've got amazing news to tell you.”
Heriberto thought about how much Melanie had gone through for him all these years. He owed her. He should
