And beneath the table was Elliott’s hand…

Romina’s heart instantly leapt into her throat.

Standing beside her, Elliana instinctively grabbed Romina’s hand, unwilling to watch any longer, bury- ing her face against Romina’s chest.

Miguel, too, turned away instinctively, no longer able to look at the scene.

Only Romina’s gaze remained fixed on the frosted door, not even blinking.

Joaquin, sitting beside her, let his gaze fall on Romina, and the determination in her eyes suddenly caught his attention.

The man’s lips suddenly curled into a faint, ambiguous smile.

Just as the sharp object was about to fall on his hand, Elliott blurted out without hesitation, “It’s Valery!”

At the same time, the sharp object in Erick’s hand stopped just above the back of Elliott’s hand.

“Clang-”

The moment the weapon hit the floor, the sound echoed throughout the treatment room.

Even those outside, like Romina and the others, heard it clearly.

“Valery?” Elliana looked at Romina in disbelief. “Romi, isn’t Valery one of Nadine’s people?”

Romina’s eyes instantly darkened.

She nodded thoughtfully. “Yes.”

She truly hadn’t expected that the person sent would be from Valery.

After seeing Romina and Elliana’s reactions, Joaquin’s hand, which had been tapping the table, suddenly paused.

He looked at Romina, his gaze less cold than before. “So, it’s someone you know?”

Romina lowered her eyes to look at Joaquin beside her, then nodded. “It’s the woman who was with Na- dine the last time I visited the wellness clinic.”

The man searched his memory quickly, then nodded slightly. “I remember her a little.”

“Click-”

The door was opened from inside by Erick. Romina quickly walked forward and glanced inside.

Elliott was covered in injuries, though most were internal; only blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Romina had long heard of Joaquin’s ruthlessness, but she hadn’t expected his subordinates to be just as merciless…

“Now that we’ve gotten the answer, send him to the hospital! Don’t dirty Ms. Sandoval’s place any fur- ther.”

Joaquin’s voice was deep, his face as calm as still water.

“Yes, Mr. Bowman.”

“Let’s go out the back door! There are too many people in front.”

Miguel quickly stepped forward and left with Erick.

Elliana said to Romina, “I’ll go help out.”

Romina nodded lightly without a word, watching as they left through the main entrance.

Joaquin’s gaze once again fell on Romina’s face. “Now that we’ve found the real culprit, how do you plan to handle it?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Romina instinctively turned her head to look at the man beside her.

After their eyes met, her expression darkened for a moment.

In truth, there wasn’t much enmity between her and Valery; the real conflict was with Nadine.

Although Valery was the one who acted this time, Romina knew very well that Nadine was undoubted- ly involved behind the scenes.

To be precise, Valery must have been instructed by Nadine to come after her.

On the very first day of opening, she was given such a big ‘gift,‘ only to discover it on the third day.

Truly, such malicious intent!

A snap of fingers suddenly sounded by her ear.

Romina’s thoughts were abruptly interrupted.

Coming back to herself, she turned her head and immediately met the man’s gaze.

After steadying her emotions, she spoke calmly. “This matter probably still has something to do with Jericho.”

“How is Jericho involved?” Joaquin’s brows furrowed slightly. “Valery is also close to Jericho?”

“No.” Romina shook her head, her voice full of indifference. “The one truly close to her is Nadine.”
