Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Ten minutes later, the hot search about momo blowing up was instantly taken down.

Salvino’s investigation revealed that the IP address of Twitter user “Front Row Eats Melon” was located in Imperial.

Salvino reported, “This front row eats twitter number belongs to a small company called StarHub Entertainment, but suddenly they told the story to the wife, something is not right about this, the wife is not considered in the entertainment industry.”

Severo Laris frowned slightly and mused, “This StarHub Entertainment, on the other hand, is also an imperial company.”

His and Lita’s social circle of mutual friends is almost entirely in Imperial.

Salvino said, “What the boss means is that there is someone behind this.”

“Probably a feud the wife made when she was a student. Here’s the deal, you send someone from Imperial’s side first, to uncover this loudmouth, and since the other gets paid to do his job, we can be his second teacher.”

“Yes, I’ll get right on it.”

Salvino immediately contacted Imperial’s people.

Half an hour later.

Salvino knocked on the door and entered the office, reporting, “Boss, the person who broke the story is a paparazzo from StarHub Entertainment, named Millian, who has been in the showbiz paparazzi circle for many years and is a veteran. Under pressure, he claimed that a woman named Buena told him to break those black stories.”

Buena.

Severo Laris’ dark eyes flashed with stern, murderous intent.

Salvino bowed slightly and asked, “Boss, do you need me to send someone to kidnap that Buena?”

Severo Laris said, “It’s useless to tie her up, someone like her will bite you from behind.”

Salvino said, “Boss, in the course of my investigation, I checked that Buena, she is an English graduate from Imperial University and had previously worked as a translator for Vidal Carda, the president of The Gammon Hotel, but she is gone now, but her account, still has a lot of money coming in, all from Vidal Carda’s account, and Vidal Carda pays her almost every week.”

“Boss, the way I see it, Vidal Carda has a lot to do with this Buena. ”

Not knowing much about this president of El Hotel Gammon, Severo Laris frowned slightly and asked, “Has this Vidal Carda guy been checked out?”

“Checked, married, his wife is a daughter of Imperial, The Carnero family, a notoriously tough woman, and this Vidal Carda was a son-in-law of The Carnero family before making his career today.”

Severo Laris’ thin lips curved slightly and a sharp note appeared in his eyes as he said, “Pack up and let’s get back to Imperial. ”

Salvino nodded, “Right.”

Looks like the boss is going to take matters into his own hands this time.

Salvino in mind, lita light a candle for Buena.

Severo Laris looked at the gossip on Twitter, still with a spot of heaviness on his forehead, and said, “Check well what happened to the wife in these years in America, don’t leave anything out.”

“Yes.”

Severo Laris blames himself a bit that the first person to find out that she was playing race cars and going in and out of casinos in America was not him, but the media.

And she was gambling, surprisingly, on a life and death bet on racing, so dangerous, how dare she.

Severo Laris remembers how, seven years ago, she would frown and scream in pain and pout at him when she cut her finger.

Then, how dare one slit one’s wrists and play life and death with racing.

In the heart, dull pain.

…

La Villa Rouco, in the studio.

Santino said, “Boss, some of the revelations about Miss Paulita on Twitter are true.”

Adan Rouco looked at the jumble of comments and a dense cloud gathered under his eyes, “Which part is true?”

“Missy played a lot of racing during her years in the U. S. and had been arrested for gambling on life and death and was in and out of casinos all the time.”

Adam Rouco became increasingly puzzled. “Paulita has always been an obedient and understanding child, never so rebellious, although she used to be naughty.”

“Yes, I don’t quite understand these excesses of the young girl, perhaps she is trying to relax after too much schooling in the United States?”

Paulita was smart and never felt pressured by her studies, she went out to eat a barbecue with her classmates the night before exams and came home late, didn’t read, showered and played with her phone. Still, she got top marks.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Santino speculated, “So, could … have something to do with Severo Laris’ breakup back in the day?”

At the mention of Severo Laris, Adam Rouco’s eyes stop for a moment.

Santino said, “The hot search was suddenly withdrawn a while ago, I went to ask about it and on Twitter they told me that Severo Laris was the one who pushed for it to be withdrawn.”

Adam Rouco reflected, “After seven years, does he still have a heart for Paulita?”

A man who no longer has feelings for his ex-girlfriend would not meddle in his partner’s affairs after seven years.

There are only two explanations for Severo Laris to do this.

One, Paulita had a miscarriage that year and he felt guilty about Paulita and wanted to make amends.

Two, he is not dead to Paulita.

Adan Rouco said, “I haven’t followed this Severo Laris, so who knows what Severo Laris has been up to over the years, especially lately. I think he and Paulita have reunited.”

“Okay, I’m going to check it out.”

After leaving the studio in a hurry, Santino meets Estrella Berrocal downstairs.

“Ma’am.” Santino greeted with a slight nod.

Estrella Berrocal politely said, “It’s almost lunch time, would Assistant Xu like to stay for lunch together?”.

“No ma’am, the Chief has explained something to me and I have to go investigate now.”

“Well then, next time, there you go.”

When Santino left, Estrella Berrocal went upstairs to call Adam Rouco for lunch.

As soon as she opened the door to her office, she saw Adam Rouco sitting at his desk, slightly dazed.

She approached him, put her hand on his shoulder and asked, “What are you thinking about? It’s almost time for dinner.”

Adam Rouco sat back in his chair, looked at her, took her hand in his and said in a deep voice, “Paulita played life and death races in the United States and was arrested by the local police for it, I can’t understand why she, a girl, likes to play such dangerous competitions.”

Estrella Berrocal’s eyes twitched, “Life and death over racing?”.

“Yes, a game to determine life and death, if you lose, the consequences are unthinkable.”

The blood on Estrella Berrocal’s face instantly faded, her heart trembled and her back froze. “Why would Paulita want to engage in such a dangerous sport?”

“I still can’t think of an answer, but it’s true that we’ve given her very little care in these seven years she’s been in the United States.”

Estrella Berrocal swallowed saliva and worried, “I see she’s become much more civilized in general since she’s been back, but … but I thought that was just from getting older.”

“Maybe, we need to get reacquainted with our daughter.”

Adam Rouco was vaguely aware of something, but he never, ever dared to think of it that way because, well, it was too cruel for him to accept it.

Estrella Berrocal, on the other hand, has even less of that tolerance.

Estrella Berrocal said, “Why don’t I bring Paulita to have a good talk afterwards?”.

Adam Rouco doesn’t think it’s right, “It may not be as simple as we think, Paulita used to be playful but she’s not a child who doesn’t know her place, she bets on life and death races and frequents casinos, these things seem unusual. Let’s not alarm her until we’ve investigated.”

“Okay, she’s all yours.”

…

Lately, Paula Rouco goes to her room after dinner, occasionally dragged by Estrella Berrocal for a stroll around the villa.

Paula Rouco was lying on her bed ready to take a nap when her cell phone rang.

Caller ID, little bean sprouts.

Her eyes lit up and she picked up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Little Bean Sprout’s happy little voice came out, “Sister Paulita! Sister Paulita, do you miss Little Bean Sprout?”

Paula Rouco smiled and said, “Sure. How’s the fabada going, are you happy?”

“I wasn’t very happy, but talking to Sister Paulita on the phone made the little bean sprout super happy.”

Paula Rouco frowned and asked worriedly, “Why are you unhappy?”

“Sister Paulita, I want a daddy. All my classmates have a daddy, but I don’t.”

Paula Rouco couldn’t help but feel sorry, and some hatred, for the little bean’s father.

Little bean sprouts asked, lost in thought, “Sister Paulita, is it the little bean sprouts that are bad? Why doesn’t daddy want little bean sprouts?”

Paula Rouco was quick to reassure her, “Why, the little bean sprout is very cute.”

“Sister Paulita, I really want to go with daddy, I want to ask daddy why he doesn’t want me and mommy, but mommy won’t let me go with daddy.”

Paula Rouco, somewhat embarrassed for the mother and daughter, said, “Maybe it’s because mom doesn’t know where daddy is either, or, maybe, mom doesn’t know how to face the little ball daddy.”

“Sister Paulita, I’m so afraid, will I always be without daddy?”

Paula Rouco doesn’t know what to comfort like Lastra.

Knock, knock, knock.

Suddenly there was a knock on the bedroom door and outside, Lucio Rouco opened the door and entered, “Sister, I’m coming in!”.

Paula Rouco unconsciously covered her phone, “What are you doing here?”.

Lucio Rouco looked at her inquisitively, “Mom cut some fruit and asked me to bring it to you, you’re sneaking around, who are you talking to on the phone?”.

“A friend.”

“What friend, man or woman?”

Paula Rouco checked her phone again and the call had been disconnected.

Paula Rouco was a little annoyed, “What are you doing gossiping about this?”

“I’m just worried about you, aren’t I? You’re old enough to have a boyfriend, isn’t Angelo back in the country, haven’t you two met or anything?”

“Lucio Rouco, for those who don’t know, you’re my father.”

Lucio Rouco laughed playfully, “How dare I be your father, besides I’m not that old.”

“Are you talking about our father being old?”

Lucio Rouco: “… That’s not what I said, you said it.”

Paula Rouco said, “If you are well, go out, I am going to rest.”

“Sister, all you do is eat and sleep every day, so where are you going to meet my future brother-in-law? Look how conscientious Susana is, she got married when she was in the prime of her life, if you go on like this, the little cabbage is going to turn into an old cabbage.”

“… Lucio Rouco, I thought I heard you talking to a girl on the phone when I passed by your room last night.”

Lucio Rouco flinched slightly out of the corner of his eye and said with a straight face, “Sister, you heard me wrong.”

“Is that so?”

Lucio Rouco relented, “Sister, dear sister, I was wrong, I will never again worry about who my future brother-in-law is. You can get married whenever you want. Anyway our family is not bad, you don’t need to go to someone else’s house for dinner.”

That’s more like a person.

Lucio Rouco was still puzzled for a moment as he headed for the door, “But, Sister, who exactly were you talking to on the phone?”

Paula Rouco said, “You wouldn’t know even if I told you.”
