After tidying up briefly, Romina planned to go to the wellness clinic.Â
When she went out, she found the driver was still waiting for her.Â
Everyone around Joaquin was extremely loyal and dedicated.Â
It must be because their master had such good character that they were willing to follow him so faithfully.Â
When she arrived at the wellness clinic, she hadn’t even entered when she saw a car parked by the roadside.Â
It was Nadine’s car.Â
She must have just arrived as well, wearing a hat and mask, about to enter Romina’s wellness clinic.Â
Romina looked coldly at her back and asked, “What are you doing here?”Â
Hearing the voice, Nadine turned around and immediately saw Romina behind her.Â
After taking off her mask, she looked Romina up and down for a moment. “I heard Ms. Sandoval went to Riverchester and almost didn’t make it back. Is that true?”Â
“Oh?” Romina curled her lips into a cold smile. “Did Ms. Lambert come here just to see if I’m dead yet?”Â
“What do you mean, dead or not, Ms. Sandoval? Why do you have to speak so harshly? Even if I don’t wish you well, I never intended to see you dead.”Â
“Even Jericho doesn’t know what happened to me in Riverchester. How did you find out?”Â
As soon as Romina finished speaking, Nadine’s expression suddenly darkened.Â
For a moment, she couldn’t find the right words to respond.Â
Romina spoke bluntly: “I even suspect that Ms. Lambert deliberately found someone to takeÂ

revenge on me.”Â
“Although you exposed the quartz hairpin incident on the show, which has indeed thrownÂ
myÂ
life into utter chaos, I wouldn’t go so far as to try to kill you over it, would I?”Â
“How do you know that person wanted to kill me?”Â
Romina’s voice dropped significantly, her gaze filled with anger.Â
To show so many flaws and still try to argue–how utterly ridiculous!Â
“I just heard it from someone.”Â
“Heard it from someone? Who did you hear it from?” Romina’s brows furrowed slightly. “From the incident until now, only a handful of people know, and all of them are my closest friends. How could they possibly tell you? So who exactly did you hear it from?”Â
“I…”Â
Nadine suddenly stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.Â
“The quartz hairpin issue is a grudge between Jericho and me. I never intended to use such means against you, but since you insisted on flaunting it on the show, I had no choice but to take this desperate measure! Because that doesn’t belong to you–it’s my dowry!”Â
Romina’s voice rose several decibels, the anger in her eyes growing even more intense.Â
Dowry.Â
When those two words reached her ears, Nadine’s pupils widened in shock.Â
eÂ
She never would have thought that the quartz hairpin was actually Romina’s dowry.Â
“Jericho siding with you is his business, but what’s mine, I’ll get back no matter what it takes! If you retaliate against me over this, isn’t that just disgusting?”Â
“Disgusting?” Nadine retorted angrily, “Compared to what you did, what does mine even count as? I never intended to kill you, just wanted to give you a cut so you’d learn your lesson!”Â
As soon as she finished, Romina’s upper lashes trembled uncontrollably.Â
So, the person who tried to stab her on food street was actually sent by Nadine!Â
