Brogan was still kneeling in front of the couch, looking at the helpless and frustrated Heriberto, and said again, “Since you know how wrong you were before, why not just fix it now and treat Mrs. Hale well from now on?”
“She didn’t give me a chance…” Heriberto shook his head, mumbling, “She won’t give me another chance…”
They didn’t love each other anymore, so why should Iris still want him?
“Mr. Hale, didn’t you always say, where there’s a will, there’s a way, and man can conquer nature.”
As the president’s assistant, Brogan really acted like a nagging mom at that moment, looking all sympathetic, talking earnestly, coaxing and persuading.
“You hardly ever lost in business, so you should’ve had even more confidence with Mrs. Hale.”
Heriberto didn’t know if he really listened or not, anyway, he didn’t cry anymore. Instead, he just smiled in a silly, dazed way.

It was a little after 7 in the evening, and Iris and Zayden went back to the hotel together.
Merlin went to see his old friend and didn’t go with them.
When I got out of the elevator, I saw Brogan coming from Heriberto’s

suite with a man. The man was carrying a big medical kit.
It should have been a doctor.
There were obvious bloodstains on Brogan’s light gray shirt, and it wasn’t just a little.
You could tell by the way he looked, the one who got hurt obviously wasn’t him.
So, the one who got hurt and was bleeding was Heriberto?
“Mrs….” Brogan saw Iris and Zayden and blurted out a greeting.
Just as I started to speak, I realized I used the wrong title, so I quickly corrected myself, “Ms. Aguilera, Mr. Knighton, good evening!”
Married to Heriberto for three years, Brogan was one of the few people around Heriberto who was nice to her, so Iris had no reason to give him the cold shoulder. When she saw him greet her, she smiled and nodded at him.
Brogan saw the doctor out, then quickly caught up with Iris, who was already at the door of his suite.

Brogan saw the doctor out, then quickly caught up with Iris, who was already at her suite door, and carefully asked her, “Ms. Aguilera, do you have a minute? Can I bother you for a few minutes to talk?”
Now I knew that Iris was Merlin and Zayden’s boss, and her net worth was who knows how many times that of Heriberto or even the whole Hale family.
Brogan’s respect for her hit an all–time high.

They might not have been this respectful to Heriberto, the boss.
Of course, his respect for Iris wasn’t because of her wealth.
Also because during those three years she was married to Heriberto, she gave everything to Heriberto and the Hale family without asking for anything in return.
Just think about it, if anyone had as much money as she did, which woman could have done what she did in those three years?
Iris gave him a slight smile, “If it’s about Heriberto, then you’d better not say it.”
Brogan opened his mouth, then gathered his courage and said, “Ms. Aguilera, you were with Mr. Hale for three years. Mr. Hale was misled by Melanie and Madam Hale, that’s why he misunderstood you so much. After you left, Mr. Hale found out the truth about everything. He’s been living in misery every day, he…”
