Almero was driving down the street when he happened to see a woman he knew sitting alone at a bus stop, staring blankly ahead. Her face looked pale, as if there were no signs of life on her face.Almero closed his eyes as pain surged through his chest. He had been in that position, thrown out without a penny. Now he could make that arrogant and haughty woman feel the same way. The always haughty and proud Renia seemed to have transformed into a different person overnight.No fancy clothes, no expensive jewelry, and no makeup. Renia looked pathetic, resembling a homeless person. And Almero enjoyed this miserable sight from inside his luxury car.Meanwhile, Renia began to feel disturbed as she heard the whispers of several people pointing and talking about her. Her growing emotions made Renia unable to restrain herself, and she immediately glared at the people still at the bus stop. "Can't you all shut up!" Renia shouted, her eyes wide. She glared coldly at each person at the bus stop.

Last night, Renia was caught in the rain and soaked, but this afternoon, her clothes were completely dry, having been blown by the relentless wind as she sat pensively at the bus stop. With trembling legs, Renia walked to the reception desk and immediately inquired about her son's whereabouts. After learning where he was, Renia quickly led her feet down the hospital hallway.Renia's eyes immediately burned as she realized her son was in a third-class room, a room reserved for the lower middle class. Renia still found it hard to believe her son was here, and with trembling legs, she stepped into the third-class room.Renia looked at each patient lying on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. Seconds later, she saw a man sleeping on the far end of the bed, silently staring at the ceiling, unaware of her presence."That can't be my son, his face is covered in bruises, and so is his entire body," Renia thought, trying to convince herself. Renia turned around and was about to walk awa

After knocking on the door, Almero walked into her room. He saw Edeline sitting on the sofa reading a book, and she didn't even glance at him, as if he were an invisible entity.Almero walked to the closet, grabbed his clothes, and immediately went into the bathroom.As soon as the bathroom door closed, Edeline immediately stood up and left the room, as if she didn't want to share the same air with her husband. Every time she remembered that terrifying night—the night Almero brutally treated her—her blood boiled. She wanted to bring up the divorce again, but she tried to restrain herself and not bring it up now.Not long after Edeline left, Almero also emerged from the bathroom and looked around."She's not in the room, she's trying to avoid me," Almero said, rubbing his face in exasperation. After changing, Almero left the room and went down the stairs to look for his wife, but he couldn't find Edeline anywhere. He knew where his wife was, so he headed to the flower garden in front

From above, Almero watched the people in the car descend one by one. He strained his eyes and realized they were members of his father-in-law's extended family. He closed his eyes and tried to recall the conversation he had had with his late mother-in-law."They are family members who never liked Edeline," Almero thought as he opened his eyes.Almero could now clearly see how much they disliked Edeline. They stared at her as if appraising an antique at auction. He could clearly see no pity or compassion in her bruised and scarred face, as if they implicitly believed his wife deserved it.Almero was shocked to realize that everyone standing in the yard was staring at him, their gazes cold and probing, as if they were trying to find out where he was in Edeline's room. Seconds later, he saw them talking again, and not long after, his father-in-law began waving at him. Although he felt a bit uneasy, Almero finally decided to come down and join them. Almero was now sitting in the living r

Rafael glared at Almero with hatred. He still remembered the incident clearly. The proposal he and his best team had created was considered perfect, but in the end, the company chose the proposal from a young woman. This was a reality they had never expected. They had lost to a woman much younger than themselves.Rafael had tried to avoid discussing his defeat to the woman, but who would have thought that Almero would easily dismiss it all as no big deal. After all, Almero had also lost to the woman, but now he was using his failure as a weapon to silence them."Don't compare me to you!" Rafael snapped, glaring at Almero sharply and fiercely. "Failing to secure a project doesn't mean…" Rafael's words hung in the air after Almero impatiently interrupted him."It doesn't mean you're incapable," Almero interrupted calmly. "Precisely because you have the ability, you shouldn't feel threatened just because a woman got a project you failed to secure."Almero spoke, crossing one leg over hi
