On the day she was discharged, Gwynne called her, crying, “Kiara, Hugo promoted Dorothy straight into the company as a director to please her. The moment she arrived, she dismissed me.”
“Besides that, I saw Hugo sign over the first house you shared with her, and transfer all the vehicles and shares listed under your name.”
“Kiara, he has emptied everything that belonged to you.”
A cold sensation rose through Kiara’s feet and her whole body.
Once she ended the call, she grabbed a taxi and headed straight to the former home.
The memorial tablet she had placed for the child had been smashed to the ground, and the small garments she offered were torn apart.
She could endure anything else, but the child was her final boundary.
After learning Hugo’s whereabouts, she went straight to the company in anger.
Seeing the anger in Kiara’s eyes, Hugo’s secretary moved to stop her.
“Ma’am, let me inform President Craig first. If he agrees to meet you, I’ll escort you inside.”
Kiara shot them a cold look. “Move. This company was built by Hugo and me together. Half of what stands here carries the Chavez name. Who do you think you are to block me?”
She walked straight inside. Just as she reached the door, a man’s heavy breathing came from within.
Though Dorothy could not fully serve him, she was kneeling, pleasing him in her own way.
The secretary behind advised, “Ma’am, you can see President Craig is not available to see you now. Why don’t you step aside with me….”
Before the assistant could finish speaking, Kiara pushed the door open and entered. She stood across from them, staring coldly.
She was not the one who betrayed the marriage, nor the one who should feel embarrassed.
Hugo, however, showed no embarrassment seeing Kiara enter. Instead, he angrily scolded, “Who told you to come in? Leave!”
However, Kiara did not leave. Instead, she stepped forward and placed the photos from the old house before him.
“Give me an explanation.”
Hugo’s expression darkened. He hesitated, helped Dorothy to her feet, then rose and straightened his pants.
He cast a brief glance at the images on the phone. “Just because of this, you forgot your dignity and barged in?”
Seeing the man’s cold attitude, Kiara grew angry again.
“Hugo, the child remembered in that house was yours, too!”
For Dorothy’s sake, have you forgotten you’re human?!”
Hugo’s expression instantly hardened.
