After hearing her words, the man suddenly reached out and pinched her chin: “To be honest, you really have managed to pique my interest.”Â
As soon as he said this, Romina’s heart tightened.Â
This outcome was truly beyond her expectations.Â
She swallowed instinctively: “But don’t you like Sabrina? Mr. Bowman, your heart is really big, to be able to hold so many people.”Â
Joaquin frowned slightly: “Who told you I liked her?”Â
Romina froze for a moment, looking at him in disbelief: “Didn’t you say the woman you liked was already married? That day in the prison, I saw she was wearing a ring on her finger.”Â
“But aren’t you married to Jericho too?”Â
The man’s words were ambiguous, making it impossible for her to discern his true meaning.Â
So does he like Sabrina or not?Â
Seeing her remain silent, the man let her go: “Today I had someone investigate. The waiter who handed Jericho the juice has already been deported and is currently not in Straland, so for now, there’s no way to follow the trail and find the real culprit behind the scenes.”Â
“No need to investigate further. I already have a good idea who it is.”Â
Romina’s tone was indifferent, her face showing no extra emotion.Â
Joaquin asked curiously, “How do you know who it is?”Â
“The only person who would dare target me in public is Jericho’s unforgettable love. Although I don’t know exactly what her plan is, she definitely wanted Jericho to find out about this, and now she’s gotten exactly what she wanted.”Â
“Jericho is probably searching everywhere right now. Last night with me…”Â
She didn’t continue with what she was about to say.Â

“Looks like you really are surrounded by wolves and tigers!”Â
Joaquin reached out and directly pulled off her silk scarf.Â
Romina’s heart leapt into her throat once again.Â
“Nadine gossiped about you behind your back just because of this?”Â
“What else?” A bitter smile appeared on Romina’s face. “You were so rough, I didn’t have time to look closely this morning and went straight to the wellness clinic. She caught me there and immediately told Jericho about it.”Â
“So what about you? How do you plan to get back at her?”Â
“I don’t plan to get back at her.” Romina’s tone was calm. “An eye for an eye never ends. I can barely handle Jericho as it is, how could I have the energy to deal with her too?”Â
“Do you want me to help you?”Â
The man turned to meet her gaze, his voice much lower.Â
“No need.” Romina immediately changed the subject: “It’s getting late, you should go home and rest early!”Â
As she opened the car door to get out, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by the man: “Since you’re already in my car, how could I let you take a cab home?”Â
Romina was momentarily stunned, then turned to him and nodded: “Thank you.”Â
Joaquin said nothing more. After rolling down the window, he snapped his fingers at Erick in the distance.Â
Receiving the signal, Erick quickly walked back.Â
“It’s so inconvenient to commute. You should consider buying a car.”Â
“There are more important things to do right now. I’ll wait until I have a bit more money!”Â
JoaquÃn nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.Â
In the days that followed, Lina’s condition began to improve.Â
Romina devoted herself fully to work, but on Friday evening, she saw a new car parked in front of her house, with a well–dressed man standing beside it.Â

Romina didn’t know him and had never seen him before.Â
She had no idea why he had parked his car in front of her house.Â
Curious, she walked up to him: “Sir, could you please move your car? We have children at home who like to play outside in the evening, and it’s not very convenient for you to parkÂ
here.”Â
“Excuse me, are you Ms. Sandoval?”Â
The man looked at her respectfully, a faint smile on his face.Â
Romina nodded gently: “Yes, I am. May I ask who you are…?”Â
“I’m the owner of the dealership and also a friend of Joaquin’s. He asked me to deliver the car here. Later, just send me the necessary documents and I’ll handle the registration for you. You don’t need to go in person; I’ll take care of everything.”Â
Romina was taken aback.Â
It took her a moment to recover her composure.Â
Joaquin sent her a car?Â
Romina asked curiously, “Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? Was it Joaquin?”Â
“Yes. If you are Ms. Romina, then there’s no mistake. It was indeed Joaquin who asked me to bring the car here.”Â
A look of shock appeared in Romina’s eyes.Â
Suddenly, the conversation they had in the car that day flashed through her mind.Â
