He needed to get all the resentment and anger out of his heart.
So he was going to do it with his own hands.
Nor had he been deliberately repressing his emotions all this time, but was just looking for a way to vent them.
Severo stared at her.
After a long moment, he lowered his eyes to the glass of water on the table, reached for it and lifted it to his lips to take a sip before handing it back.
The sequence of movements seemed careless, but revealed a hint of imperceptible anxiety.
Allyce wasn’t sure whether Severo had heard her or not.
Seeing that Severo had remained silent, he softened his voice and said, “If there’s really something I can’t handle on my own, I’ll ask for your help, OK?
Severo snorted and reluctantly replied: “Yes.
Allyce pursed her lips and smiled, her answer meant yes.
…
The two finished their meal and left the room.
Allyce had to go to the bathroom and asked Severo to wait for her in the living room.
He had just turned a corner when, without looking up, he saw two familiar figures sitting in a private room.
Jonas and Lavina, what were they both doing here?
They knew each other, but not well enough to meet privately for a bun.
And there was no way these two could meet alone, regardless of what they thought.
A cloud of suspicion grew in Allyce’s mind.
His impression of Jonas was not good, but not too bad either.
But he and Lavina were together, and without wanting to think about it, he didn’t think it could be a good thing.
The compartment door was already closed and I could not push it open.
First he had to go to the toilet.
As he came out of the bathroom, he couldn’t help but pause for a moment as he passed the booth.
When he returned to the hall, he saw Severo sitting on the sofa, smoking.
When Severo saw her arrive, he quickly stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.
Then he got up and walked towards her: “Let’s go”.
Allyce was still thinking about Jonas and Lavina and seemed a bit distracted.
The two went back to the car and Allyce thought of something she didn’t understand about the work before and wanted to ask Severo.
“Betances …”
As a result, he had barely uttered the word “Betances” when he stopped dead in his tracks.
Severo leaned over to fasten his seat belt and, seeing her surprised face, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “What’s the matter?
Allyce turned her head towards Severo and said words: “Ariela Betances!
Without waiting for Severo’s reaction, an epiphany appeared on Allyce’s face as she grabbed Severo’s arm and said, “Yes, it’s Ariela Betances, I saw Jonas and Lavina together two years ago when they were arguing and they mentioned Ariela Betances!”
Severo’s expression changed slightly.
It was something he remembered too.
Only later did something happen to Allyce and the matter of Lavina and Jonas was temporarily forgotten by them.
Since returning to UK, he had devoted more time to Allyce, and even the purpose of going back to UK in the first place had become less important.
“If they mention your mother, it means they must have something to do with my father’s case”.
It was a fact that dad’s case had something to do with Lavina, but she hadn’t thought that even Jonas had anything to do with dad’s case.
What I didn’t know was what kind of role Jonas played in the whole case.
Severo reached out and stroked his head, “Yes, I’ll look into it”.
Allyce turned her head towards the restaurant door just in time to see Jonas and Lavina leave, one after the other.
Severo also saw them.
His eyes passed over Lavina and settled directly on Jonas, his expression turning slightly dark.
As soon as Jonas and Lavina left, they separated and walked away.
Only after watching the two of them leave did Allyce look away, looking a little stony.
…
Although Allyce had told Severo that she would call him whenever there was something she couldn’t handle regarding the Delahoz group, she didn’t want him to get involved.
Dad’s case, after all, also involved his mother, and that was something he needed to investigate.
Dealing with the Delahoz Group, on the other hand, was their business.
It seemed too long for her alone, and she couldn’t wait that long.
He decided to seek Desiderio’s help.
Desiderio’s offer was good, he could buy the Delahoz group.
It must be the hardest thing for the Delahoz family to have to do what she said.
With the decision made in her mind, Allyce asked Desiderio out on a date.
In the café.
Allyce opened the door and said: “Uncle, I want to buy the Delahoz group.
Desiderio’s face was calm, as if he had foreseen that Allyce would accept his proposal.
He looked at Allyce with a smile on his face: “Well, I’ll leave it to you, and if there’s anything you can’t do, you can ask me.
Allyce nodded, indicating that she knew.
Back in the office, Ester made her coffee and took it to the office.
Only, after delivering the coffee, Ester didn’t leave.
Allyce looked at Esther: “What else?”
Ester spoke hesitantly: “Director Delahoz, do you know … very well? Izar?
Allyce froze for a moment, not waiting for Esther to ask about Izar.
He ducked his head and continued to work on the task at hand, his voice faint: “No”.
Ester’s tone was a little anxious: “But earlier she said you were friends and that she had come to see you before …”.
Allyce’s tone was impatient: “Oh, ask him then”.
He thought he might need a new assistant.
Esther’s heart was not bad, she just liked Izar.
And I didn’t need to tell Ester what was going on between Allyce and Izar.
Even if I had to fire Ester, there was no justification for it.
A look of loss appeared on Ester’s face: “She hasn’t been heard from for a long time …”.
Allyce remembered that she had wanted to ask Severo what he was doing with Izar, but he had gotten busy and forgotten.
Seeing Esther like this, Allyce’s heart softened for no reason and her words carried a sense of relief. “Maybe she’s just busy and will probably show up later or give her fans some news.
Esther’s eyes lit up at his words and she nodded repeatedly: “Well, that’s what I thought.
When Ester came out, Allyce leaned back and sank into the soft, comfortable chair, trying to relax, and reached up to rub her temples.
It was nice to be young.
And Izar, she was lucky to have an admirer who thought of her that way.
But there was no way he could forgive Izar.
What Izar had done did not make him feel any sympathy for her.
