Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 92

When it comes to money, Luke’s eyes lit up, “Fifty thousand a month, that’s a huge sum where we come from, how could I say no.”

Heriberto’s head was really about to explode, feeling like countless blades were constantly slashing back and forth in his brain.

“Why are you not keeping your promise now?” he asked, pressing his forehead hard.

“It’s not my fault, Alice was the one who broke the agreement first. She didn’t give me the money this month, it’s been over ten days already. And I can’t reach her at all, can’t find her anywhere, so I had to come to you.” Luke smirked.

“Actually, at first I didn’t know that the person Alice saved was you, but recently the rumors about you and Alice have been so intense, I guessed that the person Alice saved must be you.”

Back then, Heriberto was lying unconscious by the river, in the video recorded by Luke, you couldn’t even see his face.

“Where’s the video?” Heriberto asked, press his hands hard against his forehead, trying to contain his anger.

Luke is not stupid. He chuckled and said, “The video is not on my phone. If you want it, I can send it to you, but you have to give me 1 million. Alice broke the contract and didn’t give me the money.”

“If I gave you 1 million, would that settle things?” Heriberto asked.

If what Luke said is true, that he was the one who first found himself on the other side, asked Melanie to take him to the hospital, then Luke

is indeed his lifesaver, giving him 1 million is not excessive.

“That’s a must,” Luke assured, patting his chest.

Heriberto suddenly looked up, his eyes, which had turned red at some point, fixed on him. Through gritted teeth, he said, “If you don’t keep your word, I’ll have someone kill you.”

Luke looked into his eyes, got scared and shivered, and quickly nodded, “Of course, of course.”

“Curtis,” Heriberto called out.

Curtis immediately walked over quickly, “Mr. Hale.”

“Take him out, give him 1 million, then get the video,” Heriberto ordered.

“Yeah,” nodded Curtis.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Hale, Mr. Hale, you are really generous, Alice didn’t misjudge you.” Luke stood up, beaming with joy, nodding and bowing.

Heriberto waved his hand, and Curtis immediately took him away.

When she left, Heriberto slumped back in the chair, closed his eyes,

like” ball, completely lifeless.

Suddenly, he clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the solid wooden desk in front of him.

With a loud “thud,” the office desk seemed to shake, and then, bright red liquid spilled from his knuckles.

At this moment, he not only hated Melanie, but he also despised himself.

Heriberto stayed at the company late and didn’t want to go home.

He didn’t want to go back, back to that huge, cold Acme Villa with only him in it.

Actually, he just realized now that the reason he chose Acme Villa as the wedding venue was not because he really liked Acme Villa, but because he had no connection with Melanie at all.

Iris liked it.

Before he bought Acme Villa, his grandmother was still alive.

At that time, his grandma said she wanted to help him pick a wedding house, so she took Iris and him to Rivera Bay.

Rivera Bay was the top luxury villa area newly developed in Ardiham at that time, of course it was his first choice for a wedding house.

Back then, Iris immediately fell in love with Acme Villa. His grandma probably liked it because Iris did, so she asked him, what do you think?

He didn’t say anything at that time.

But later, he quietly bought Villa No. 1 and had a designer create a renovation plan that he specifically wanted his grandmother to review.
