Romina glanced at him expressionlessly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You slept with him just a few days ago, and now he’s already given you a car. You’re really some- thing!” The veins on Jericho’s forehead bulged. “Stop playing dumb. Who is he?”
“If you’re so curious, why don’t you investigate yourself?” Romina’s voice was icy cold. “Don’t waste my time while I’m making medicine for the child.”
Suddenly, Jericho reached out, dragged her away, and pressed her against the kitchen sliding door.
One of the man’s hands pressed against her throat, while the other gripped her wrist and pinned it to the glass.
The spoon in Romina’s hand fell to the floor instantly.
“What are you going crazy for?”
Her eyes were dark and cold as she glared fiercely at Jericho in front of her.
“Boom-”
A clap of thunder split the sky.
The piercing sound filled every corner of the surroundings.
“We haven’t even finalized our divorce, and you dare mess around behind my back, putting such a huge label on me. I’ve tried everything to find out the truth, but so far, I haven’t found anything. Looks like you’ve hooked up with some big shot…”
“Are you insane? Don’t make wild accusations when you don’t know the truth!”
“Then tell me, what is the truth?” Jericho suddenly gripped her chin. “I only believe what I see. You’re clearly involved with someone else!”
“And what about you and Nadine? Are you two so innocent? How many shady things have you done behind my back? Don’t think I don’t know! I only have one request now–sign the divorce papers imme- diately!”
“So after the divorce, you can be with your lover out there, right?”

“No.” Romina suddenly let out a cold laugh. “I just want to set you free.”
Her tone was especially cold, her voice sinking to the lowest point.
Romina glared at him, her voice rising a notch.
“Don’t change the subject. Right now, I’m talking to you about that man!”
Romina’s chest was heaving. “Let go of me!”
Jericho’s expression was as dark as ever. “Tell me! Who is the man who gave you the car?”
At that moment, a deep voice cut through the tense atmosphere. “It was me.”
The two of them turned around at the sound.
When Romina saw the man approaching gracefully, a trace of surprise flickered in her eyes.
The person who entered was Joaquin.
The man, dressed in a black suit, approached with a light gait, his face as indifferent as ever.

He stopped in front of Jericho and forcefully pulled away Jericho’s hand that was pressed against Romi- na’s neck.
Romina felt her breathing become much smoother.
“Joaquin, what did you just say?” Jericho’s voice was filled with shock. “The Porsche was a gift from you to her?”
“Don’t delay Ms. Sandoval from preparing the medicine. Come outside with me.”
Joaquin glanced at Jericho, then strode toward the direction of the room.
Jericho looked at Romina in disbelief, then glanced at the departing man, his face turning gloomy.
Romina picked up the spoon from the floor and walked nonchalantly to the sink to wash it.
At this moment, inside the room.
When Jericho opened the door and entered, Joaquin was making tea for himself.
Jericho sat down across from him. “Joaquin, what is going on? Why would you give her a car?”
“To be precise, I gave her the car simply to make it easier for her to pick up and drop off the child at school. There was no other intention.”

“Pick up and drop off the child at school?” Jericho was a bit confused. “Is it for Lina?”
The man’s tone was extremely cold. “Yes.”
His palm was playing with the teacup.
“But isn’t it a bit much to give such a nice car? If word gets out, it would be easy for people to misun- derstand. Others might think you and my wife…”
Jericho did not finish his sentence, his voice especially cold.
Joaquin’s hand, which was playing with the cup, paused slightly. “Think what?”
Jericho lifted his gaze, and when their eyes met, he saw a hint of amusement in the man’s eyes.
“Joaquin, that day when I went to find Romina, I didn’t know you two were on the phone. Did you hear everything?”
“Yes.” Joaquin asked nonchalantly, “I did hear everything.”
“She has someone else outside, and even slept with him…”
“So you think the person who gave her the car and the one who slept with her are the same person?” Joaquin asked calmly.
“Isn’t it only natural for me to think that way?” Jericho’s eyes were filled with chilling coldness. “It’s just that I haven’t been able to find out who the man she slept with actually is.”
