Jovana bit her lip hard so she wouldn’t choke up. The hand she was pushing toward the door just froze in midair and finally curled into a fist, weakly.
So, back then, he argued with Kaitlynn for her just to put on a show and fool her?
So it turned out, those special favors and protection that made her so distracted were just his tricks to fool her.
So, he really didn’t care. He didn’t care about her dignity, and cared even less about her feeling wronged…
Jovana felt like a big hand was tearing at her chest, and it hurt a lot.
She was also thinking about telling Armando when she got back at night, Don’t get too upset with the Jenkins family and the Dunbar family because of me.
So, Armando was lying to her from the very beginning.
She just had to be pathetic and think too much of herself, acting all self–important.
Jovana’s
eyes were really red. She looked at the man’s cold back. Tears had already covered her face, though she didn’t know when. She wiped them away hard, like a clown running away in a panic, and rushed back to her
room.
…
At that moment, in the bedroom.
Kaitlynn snorted, feeling a bit better.“At least you still have some conscience and see me as your mother. All my efforts weren’t for nothing…”
Armando’s eyes were dark.“Don’t get happy too soon.”
Kaitlynn frowned, “What do you mean?”
Armando gave her a light look, his eyes full of warning. Kaitlynn’s heart skipped a beat.
He straightened his slightly messy cuffs and said coldly, “I told you, this was your last warning. I barely held back from actually punishing you. If it happens again—”
Armando stopped right there, but that cold, sharp look in his eyes still made Kaitlynn’s heart skip a beat.
‘Also, don’t call Jovana anymore if something comes up. I don’t want to see what happened last night again. No matter if it’s big or small, just call me directly.” Armando stood up, straightened his suit, looking classy and refined, but his tone was cold.
Kaitlynn’s face froze a little.
Armando was clearly reminding her about calling Jovana last night without asking.
She called for a long time and nobody answered. She thought Jovana was getting bold and going against her, but she didn’t expect her to turn around and complain to Armando.
Kaitlynn let out a frustrated little laugh, “The scandal she caused embarrassed the Dunbar family, so what’s wrong with me, as her mother–in–law, questioning her a bit? But no, she just ran to complain to you. If she’s got guts,

she should say it to my face!”
Armando frowned in displeasure, and his face turned cold.
He never could stand anyone saying a single bad word about Jovana.

He looked at Kaitlynn coldly, “You’re the one being petty. Jovana never said a bad word about you in front of me,
but
you, you kept criticizing her to me!”
“Think about what you did, and don’t let me hear you say that again!”
The man’s natural intimidation made Kaitlynn feel nervous. She bit her teeth angrily but didn’t say anything more… Anyway, he and Jovana didn’t have many days left together!
Armando saw that she really had become a lot more honest. He changed the subject, frowned, and asked, “What’s
up
with that document in the restaurant? Haven’t you been out of the company business for a long time? What is that document?”
File?
Why did he suddenly bring this up?
Did know something?

Kaitlynn’s eyes flickered, her heart was pounding, and she didn’t dare look at him. She said vaguely, “Aren’t your grandparents going to retire in France? They want to find a vineyard to make wine and kill time. You know, they just love messing with that stuff. They asked me to look for a place, and I just found a good one a few days ago. We’re working on the contract right now!”
Armando narrowed his eyes, his face dark as ever, then suddenly smirked, “Is that so?”
“Well, of course, what else could it be? I couldn’t care less about the Dunbar Group’s crap!” Kaitlynn was afraid she’d slip up if she kept talking, so she hurried him,“Alright, just go.”
Armando’s eyes were deep like ink. No one knew if he heard it or not. He just answered calmly, “Okay, when you go give the contract to Grandpa and Grandma later, remember to say hi to them for me.”
Kaitlynn’s heart skipped a beat. She pretended to stay calm and waved her hand. Go, go, go…”
