Chapter 49.
“What were you doing in the room for so long?”
Jovana’s heart skipped a beat, and she could clearly feel Armando’s anger.
The big hand that once hugged her and protected her on her cheek now felt like a weapon that trapped
her.
Juliette silently curled her lips, and there was a sharp look in her eyes!
“When you weren’t home for ten days or half a month before, I was also home alone waiting for you. called and texted you, and you replied really late too…”
Jovana suddenly spoke in a weak voice.
Armando was stunned.
Jovana pushed his hand away and looked down, crying softly.
“I heard from others that you cheated, that the days you were on a business trip out of town, you were actually on vacation with another woman… I knew you wouldn’t do that, but it still hurt.”
“I just wanted you to feel this too, don’t… don’t shut me out.”
She buried herself in her knees, all small, hugging herself.
“Vana…”
I
Armando blamed himself and felt guilty, his heart aching so much it almost broke. He bent down and pulled her into his arms without thinking, wishing he could hold her so close she’d melt into his bones.
What did he do?
Was hanging out with a lover and ignored Jovana…
No wonder she had been so down these days and didn’t stick to him anymore.
Jovana had tears in her eyes and said sadly, “I don’t know who sent you messages to mess up our relationship, but how could I ever do something to hurt you? Armando, you have to believe me.”
His Adam’s apple moved up and down with difficulty, and he hugged her tightly. He couldn’t be more guilty and regretted believing Juliette’s crap.
“My bad.”
The tense atmosphere in the room changed in an instant.
Juliette frowned hard, How could this happen?
She called out anxiously, “Mr. Dunbar, in this room…”
“That’s enough!”
Armando gave her a cold look, “Ms. Atherton was your boss. You kept disobeying her, and now you’re lying through your teeth! Get out of here!”
Juliette was stunned after being scolded. It was the first time she heard Armando snap at her like that, not

caring about her feelings.
He knew full well she cared most about saving face!
She bit her flushed lips and glared at Jovana with hatred. Jovana gave her a sly smile.
Juliette was so mad her liver hurt!
I went out of my way to do it, but in the end, I lost both the watermelon and the sesame seeds….
She really underestimated Jovana!
Armando didn’t even look at her, squatted down, gently put shoes on Jovana, took her hand, and
to leave.

got ready
Juliette’s eyes were wide with anger, and her hand at her side was clenched tight. Suddenly, she said, “Mr. Dunbar, look under the cabinet, it looks like a man’s belt!”
She raised her hand and pointed under the TV stand. There, a dark shadow was cast, looking like a piece
of metal.
Armando and the others looked over at the same time….
Normand was sharp. He walked over and brought the thing back. It really was a man’s belt!
Hiding it so deep, obviously did something bad before.
Jovana’s temples throbbed, and it felt like the air around her just froze.
But she had clearly hidden all of Harland’s stuff.
How did it end up there!
Jovana turned her apricot eyes to Juliette as she thought of something.
Juliette sneered and asked doubtfully, “Ms. Atherton, how come there’s a man’s belt here?”
“Vana, aren’t you gonna explain this to me?” Armando glanced sideways at her, and his grip on her hand clearly tightened.
Jovana turned pale, her mind was a mess, it was way too sudden, “Armando…”
“Ah, Ms. Atherton, could it be that you…” Juliette covered her mouth in surprise and said, “You didn’t open the door for us just now, were you hiding these things?”
“Was there someone else in this room?”
“How could you lie to Mr. Dunbar…”
Armando’s face was so dark you could wring water out of it. He motioned for Normand to keep searching the room, “Don’t miss a single corner.”
“That’s not it… Jovana was anxious.
“Explanation?” Armando’s eyes were bloodshot.
Jovana opened her mouth, looking pale, but didn’t know what to say. There was no surveillance here, and she had no proof. The more she tried to explain, the worse it would get.

Juliette watched with great interest from the side.
Luckily, she was prepared.
This time, she wanted to totally ruin Jovana.
