But Romina no longer cared about such things, so how could she possibly be threatened by her?
“You can go ahead and tell him. I don’t care…”
Seeing her reaction, Sabrina grew even more furious.
She raised her voice a notch. “Romina, it’s fine if you want to be the subject of gossip, but don’t drag Joaquin down with you. If his reputation is ruined because of you, I won’t let you off.”
“Why are you so agitated? When did I ever tell you there was something going on between us? Why are you making wild assumptions here?”
“Do I need to assume?” Sabrina suddenly let out a cold laugh. “Last time you came out of his lounge, and this time I caught you two having dinner alone! Do you really think I need to make baseless guesses?”
Romina had actually been in a pretty good mood today.
But after this disruption, all her good mood was gone.
At that moment, there was a sudden knock at the door.
Then Miguel’s voice came from outside: “Romi, there’s a patient who specifically requested you for treatment. Do you have time now?”
Upon hearing this, Romina quickly replied, “Okay, I’ll be right out.
She picked up the white coat from the rack and glanced at Sabrina. “Ms. Palmer, I don’t have time to discuss these meaningless topics with you. Please leave as soon as possible and don’t delay my treatment of patients.”
After being told to leave, Sabrina’s expression turned extremely dark.
She lowered her voice considerably. “Romina, this is my last warning. Stay away from Joaquin. He will be my husband in the future, and I won’t let you ruin his reputation!”
Without waiting for Romina to respond, she strode away quickly.

Romina’s hand, which was holding the white coat, suddenly paused.
She watched Sabrina’s departing figure, feeling the air pressure around her drop bit by bit.
If Sabrina knew that the two of them had already slept together, she’d probably tear her apart, wouldn’t she?
For Joaquin, Sabrina was even willing to end a two–year marriage. It showed just how much she loved that man.
Romina felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in her chest.
In the evening, Jericho called her several times, but she didn’t answer.
Worried that something might have happened to the child, Romina called him back. “What do you want?”
Romina’s tone was cold, her face devoid of emotion.
“Come to Landwin Villa tonight. I need to talk to you.”
A man’s extremely deep voice came through the phone.
Romina blurted out, “If it’s not about the child, don’t contact me.”
“You have to come, no matter what!”
Jericho’s voice grew even deeper.
“Jericho, don’t be so angry! It’s just a few ambiguous photos of her and Joaquin. It’s probably not as serious as you think…”
Before Romina could say anything, she heard Nadine’s voice on the other end.
Her hand, holding the phone, suddenly froze.
So, it was Jericho’s people who had taken photos of her and Joaquin.
Thinking it over, it must have been when he dropped her off at the door after their dinner yesterday that someone secretly took the pictures.
At that time, they hadn’t had much physical contact, but Joaquin had held her in his arms, which was still rather intimate.
“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up now.”

Without waiting for a response, Romina decisively hung up the phone.
She tossed her phone onto the table, her expression especially cold and grim.
