chapter 117
It seemed Nadine had already told him everything.
“I didn’t sleep with anyone.”
Romina replied concisely, without a trace of hesitation.
“So that’s why our door wouldn’t open last night–you were fooling around with some random guy!”
Jericho sat on the table, his long legs slightly apart, and in an instant pulled her in, trapping her between his thighs.
“Which eye of yours saw me fooling around with someone else?”
Romina lifted her gaze, looking at him coldly.
Jericho reached out and yanked off her silk scarf, exposing the deep and shallow hickeys to his eyes.
Romina hadn’t expected him to suddenly pull off her scarf, catching her completely off guard.
“If you weren’t fooling around, then explain these hickeys on your neck!”
Romina’s heart leapt into her throat as she saw the fierce look in the man’s eyes.
It was obvious Nadine had stirred things up behind her back, probably without mentioning the drugging, only suggesting she might have been with another man.
Romina still didn’t know what the person who drugged her was really planning.
The only thing she was sure of was that the other party wanted Jericho to find out about this.
That made Nadine the most likely suspect.
Maybe she wanted to stir things up behind the scenes and push them to divorce for good.
The man reached out his well–defined hand and gripped her neck, squeezing tighter and tighter.

His voice grew even deeper: “Speak!”
Seeing him like this, Romina’s mind was filled with images of him and Nadine together, and she suddenly wanted to provoke him.
“What?” She curled her lips into a careless smile. “Is this a case of ‘the official can set fires, but the commoners can’t light lamps“?”
Jericho’s voice rose a pitch: “What do you mean by that?”
“You and Nadine are always together, have I ever said anything about it? We’re all adults, it’s normal to have needs. Why is it that only you can have them, but I can’t?”
“Am I dead? Is that why you went out to find another man?”
Jericho’s hand, which was gripping her neck, kept tightening.
“Let go.”
Romina’s eyes were filled with a fierce and determined look.
“As long as we’re not divorced, you’re my woman. Only I can sleep with you, no one else has the right!” Jericho’s hand slid down to her waist, then roamed over her body. “Who gave you the courage to do something like this?”
Jericho’s hand gripping her waist kept squeezing tighter.
She frowned in pain. “You’re hurting me! Let go, now.”
“Who is that man?”
Romina ignored him, trying to push him away.
But Jericho spun her around and pressed her down onto the examination bed.
The instruments on the bed instantly fell to the floor, making a loud noise.
“Get off me.”
Romina struggled with all her strength, but the man in front of her had no intention of letting
her go.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the phone lying face down on the table: “Mr. Bowman, I’ve left the documents here for you.”

Jericho’s hand suddenly froze, looking in disbelief toward the phone.
Romina was equally shocked.
She had thought that since there had been no movement from Joaquin’s side, the call must have already been disconnected.
She never expected that the call was still connected.
That meant everything that had just happened, and all their conversation, had probably been heard by that man.
Jericho quickly let go of her and rushed to the table. By the time he picked up the phone, the call had already been hung up by the other party.
He looked at Romina in disbelief. “You were just on the phone with Joaquin? So he heard everything we just said?”
Romina composed herself, then took the phone back. “So what if he did?”
“So what?” Jericho instinctively reached out and slapped his own face. “You’ve made me lose all my dignity! You put such a big hat on me, how am I supposed to face him now?”
Romina’s expression darkened for a moment.
If he knew that those kiss marks were actually left by Joaquin, wouldn’t he be furious?
“If you don’t want people to know, if you’re afraid I’ll embarrass you, then sign the papers as soon as possible.”
Her tone was cold, and a chill flashed in her eyes.
“No wonder you’re so eager to divorce me. So you’ve already found someone else. For someone to show up at Grandpa’s birthday banquet, he must be an old acquaintance. You even dare to go after someone close to me. You’re really something!”
Jericho’s voice suddenly grew much louder.
Romina was afraid that Miguel or the patients outside would hear and it would affect her, so she quickly tried to stop him.
