Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 174

But the resentment in his heart was truly hard to swallow.

“Isn’t it just a worthless quartz hairpin? What’s the big deal? If you want, I can pay you for it. Did you really have to embarrass Nadine like that?” Jericho’s voice rose sharply. “Do you realize that what you did could ruin her future? Do you understand?”

“A worthless quartz hairpin? If you think it’s so worthless, then why did you borrow it to use as the store’s treasure in the first place?”

As soon as she said this, the man was left speechless again.

The mockery at the corners of Romina’s lips suddenly grew even more intense.

Jericho was fuming. “Is this thing really that important to you?”

“Yes! Not only is it important, but because it holds extraordinary meaning, I will stop at nothing to make sure it returns to me!”

“I’ve already given it away. After all this trouble you’ve caused, where am I supposed to put my pride?”

“Given it away?” Romina looked at him coolly. “Didn’t you tell me it was stolen? So it turns out you gave it to your beloved?”

Jericho looked at her indifferent expression, his voice dropping much lower. “So, you already knew I gave it to her, and that’s why you used such means to get it back?”

“If I hadn’t used such means, would I have been able to get it back?”

Faced with Romina’s retort, Jericho was momentarily at a loss for words.

Romina saw right through him and spoke bluntly: “All these years of marriage, you’ve never truly understood me. Every good thing, you only ever think of Nadine. Have I ever meant anything to you at all?”

“You’ve always been by my side, you have everything you could want. What more do you want?”

Jericho’s brows furrowed slightly, his expression full of displeasure.

“Then tell me, after all these years of marriage, what have I gotten?”

Jericho was left speechless again, looking at her with indifference.

Romina suddenly raised her voice a little: “All these years of marriage, not only did I not get what I wanted, I endured your and the child’s coldness, and in the end, you both even sent me to prison! Tell me, what did I

get?”

All she got was a body full of wounds and a heart in pieces.

She got nothing at all!

“You never truly understood me either, so you probably don’t even know…” Romina sneered, “the quartz hairpin was my dowry, wasn’t it?”

As her words fell, the man looked at her in disbelief, surprise spreading across his face. “What did you say? That was your dowry?”

He only knew that she had brought the quartz hairpin with her before they got married, but he had no idea it was her dowry.

“Of course, all your thoughts are with your beloved. How could you possibly know it was my dowry?”

She turned around and walked toward the door.

She had no intention of continuing to argue with him.

“I didn’t know it was your dowry. If I had known…”

Before he could finish, Romina cut him off: “If you had known, you wouldn’t have given it away?”

She quickly turned back to look at the man behind her.

Jericho just stared at her in silence, as if wanting to speak but stopping himself.

Heh.

Romina let out a hoarse laugh: “From what I know of you, even if you knew it was my dowry, as long as Nadine wanted it, not to mention a dowry–even our wedding rings, you’d

probably give them away too, wouldn’t you?”

The man still said nothing.
