As soon as he said this, shock shed in Nasir’s eyes: “There was something in Romina’s juice too? If that’s the case, she was nning for me and Ms. Sandoval to…”


    He gestured with his hand, but didn’t finish the sentence.


    Joaquin nodded without hesitation: “That’s probably it.”


    “That damn woman, just to get at Ms. Sandoval, she dragged me down with her? I really can’t swallow this!”


    “Looks like you’re nning to deal with her?”


    “If Ms. Sandoval knows the truth, I bet she’ll want to deal with her too, just like me, right?”


    Joaquin replied nonchntly: “She already knows the truth, but she doesn’t n to take revenge on Na- dine.”


    Anger instantly surged on Nasir’s face: “She can tolerate this?”


    “Maybe she thinks it’s not the right time to strike back, so she’s choosing to swallow her anger for now.” Joaquin curled his lips, responding lightly, “But if you’re nning to deal with her, you might as well add Romina’s grudge to the list.”


    “Heh.” Nasir let out a low, hoarseugh. “This trick of yours, using someone else’s hand to do the dirty work, is really ruthless.”


    “Is there any difference between you making a move and me making a move?”


    Joaquin rested his hand on the edge of the chair, his fingertip touching his jaw, a hint of coldness at the corner of his lips.


    “Are you nning to help Ms. Sandoval get revenge?”


    “I was nning to, but she doesn’t want me to.”


    Nasir squinted at him, his gaze meaningful: “Joaquin, I heard you’ve been getting close to Ms. Sandovaltely. You even gave her a car. What’s going on between you two?”


    Joaquin lifted his shimmering eyes and quietly stared at him, but said nothing.

    “Don’t tell me you have other intentions toward her?” Nasir saw the look on his face and instantly seemed to understand something. “She’s Jericho’s woman…”


    “They’re about to get divorced. Didn’t you already know that?”


    The man’s tone was indifferent, and his voice was much lower.


    “They’re about to get divorced, but they haven’t yet, right? As long as they’re not divorced, they’re still legally married.”


    “Mind your own business.”


    Joaquin had no intention of responding to him. He quickly got up from the sofa and walked toward the second floor.


    Nasir’s voice came from behind: “Joaquin, if Jericho finds out about this, he’ll probably skin you alive.”


    “We’ll see if he has the guts and the skill to do it.”


    The man’s footsteps on the stairs never stopped, but his voice rose a notch.


    Nasir watched his back as he went upstairs, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly.


    All these years, Joaquin had devoted himself to his career, never having time for romance.


    Who would have thought that when this thousand–year–old iron tree finally bloomed, it would be so ex- plosive.


    If this news got out, with Joaquin’s status and position, the entire business circle of Strnd would probably be shaken.


    The next morning.


    When Romina arrived at the wellness clinic, it was still raining outside.


    Today’s rain wasn’t as heavy as yesterday’s, but it wasn’t light either. It affected the clinic’s business somewhat; from morning to noon, only two patients hade in.


    She sat at the consultation desk, her eyes lowered as she replied to Elliana’s WhatsApp message, when a piece of gossip news suddenly popped up on her screen.


    Seeing a familiar name, she quickly clicked on it.


    It was a scandal about Nadine’s explosive temper, spreading wildly across major tforms.


    Nadine had always maintained a good public image, never having such a scandal before.

    It seemed obvious that someone was targeting her behind the scenes.


    At that moment, the sound of high heels suddenly came from the direction of the door.


    “Hello, miss, may I ask if you have…”


    Miguel, who was at the front desk, didn’t even finish his sentence before he abruptly stopped.


    Although the woman was wearing sunsses and a hat, it wasn’t the first time Miguel had seen Nadine, so he naturally recognized her.


    Hearing themotion, Romina looked up. When she saw the woman walking in, her expression grad- ually darkened.


    She had just seen the news about her, and now she was showing up at the wellness clinic.


    “What wind blew Ms. Lambert in today?”


    Romina leaned back in her chair, looking up to quietly observe her, her voice especially low.


    “Was this your doing?”


    Nadine didn’t even take off her sunsses, just threw her tablet directly onto Romina’s desk.


    Following her gaze, Romina looked down at the tablet in front of her.


    The content disyed was exactly the gossip news she had just seen.


    With just a nce, she looked up again to meet Nadine’s eyes.
