Viviane's face immediately darkened like the fury of a storm at sea. "How arrogant of you. Well, since you seek your own death, then wait!"

Edward asked Dexter at this time, "Does Viviane's father, Viktor McCartney, know about you being beaten up?"

"He knows." Dexter visibly nodded his head, then he said again, "I already contacted him and told him about his daughter's misbehavior and instead had his affair lover order his men to beat me up."

Edward nodded and asked, "Then what did he say?"

Dexter looked angry and said, "He said that it was a young man's business, and he wouldn't interfere. That means he doesn't care what his daughter does to me."

Edward asked again. "In that case, the 100 thousand dollars you invested in the restaurant, did you ask for it?"

"Yes!" Dexter's expression became even more annoyed and gritted his teeth. "But he said that the 100,000 dollars was mine, not invested in the restaurant and he apparently never considered me as a potential son-in-law. He thought

    Victor McCartney was shocked to hear Edward's order. His chest shook violently, fear seized him, choking his breath. His eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Her frail body continued to break out in a cold sweat, as if her consciousness wanted to escape the horrible reality that was to come. Her breathing became labored, her heart beating wildly.

She knelt down and crawled to the hospital bed, grabbing the hand of Dexter, her fiancé whom she had betrayed and humiliated even to the point of hospitalization.

I have no choice but to follow all his wishes including sleeping."Edgar, who was still tormented by the pain in his legs, hands and groin, did not accept Viviane's words."Lies! This woman has lied! She has the nerve to slander me!" Edgar's face darkened. "This woman came with her dad to pawn the mortgage on my company.

Maria took her brother's hand and rested her head on Edward's shoulder.“Grandpa doesn't need your regrets,” Maria said, trying to revive her brother. “He needs you to stand up and show your strength.

    Edward looked in the direction of the voice. It was Maria.“I called you many times, but the operator always answered,” Maria squealed. “I remembered that you were going to see your wife, so I followed you here.”“But she didn't believe me, Maria.” Edward looked still depressed. “I had to go after her.”“No, Ed! Listen to me!”“No! I must go after Roselyn. She must see this evidence.” Edward's face was red with the pressure-filled frustration of his problems with Roselyn going crazy.“Stop dwelling on your personal problems, Ed!” Maria yelled at the top of her lungs and began to get carried away. “Snap out of it!
