Simon clutched his left cheekbone, his head snapping to the side as he glared at Louis, who had just stormed down the stairs.
Louis rested one hand on his hip and jabbed a finger at Simon before turning to Santiago.
"So, this is the ungrateful bastard who abandoned his girlfriend of seven years for another woman, only to cast her aside when she was no longer useful. And now, he's conspiring with that bitch who tricked me just to make his ex suffer. Does that sum it up?"
Anyone with slower reflexes would struggle to keep up with the tangled mess of betrayals he had just unraveled.
Santiago corrected him, "Mr. Louis, technically, she's his 'ex-ex-girlfriend' now."
"Ex-ex-girlfriend?"
With that, Louis spun around and landed a sharp kick to Simon's chest.
Simon collapsed onto the floor, his vision flashing white.
"Damn, you really get around, don't you? Jumping from woman to woman like a damn parasite," Louis sneered in disgust.
Being ruthless was one thing, but stooping to such shameless, disgraceful behavior was absolutely revolting.
Was Simon even worthy of being called a man?
"His current girlfriend's family is also in the crochet business," Santiago added, his investigation already complete. "But their business is small-scale—barely worth mentioning."
Louis turned to Zedrick. "Now that you know exactly what kind of scumbag he is, why haven't you dealt with him yet? He threw Ms. Burnett out and even made sure every medical institution in Greenfield City refused to treat her. How is that any different from sentencing her to death?"
Ms. Burnett?
Simon's mind instantly latched onto one name—Amelia.
How had she gotten involved with these lunatics?
Had she always resented what he did and finally decided to team up with them for revenge?
Either way, one thing was certain—he and Amelia were now sworn enemies.
Meanwhile, Zedrick remained composed as he looked at Simon. "Since you've already involved the police, we'll do this by the book. You have one week. Make sure the compensation is transferred to the account I provided."
