I Left My CEO Husband. His Empire Fell novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

Dorothy was seeing patients in the office when a figure appeared at the door, not in a hurry. She didn’t look up, thinking it was a patient. “Have you registered?”

“What did you say to Sonia?”

She was stunned until the man spoke, meeting his icy gaze.

Her hand holding the pen tightened, although she guessed Sonia would tell Dwayne, she didn’t expect Dwayne to care so much.

When it came to Sonia, he was nervous.

“You didn’t want to talk conditions with me, so I talked to Ms. Frazier, what’s wrong?”

The man fixed his gaze on her for a while, then smiled and said with a hint of sarcasm, “You really are persistent.”

“Rogelio is my brother after all. Even if he is in prison, I hope he can safely get through those years,” Dorothy also stood up, looking directly at him, “I just want fairness, is that too much to ask?”

“Fair?” Dwayne took a step closer to her, “It was a premeditated kidnapping. Even if no physical harm was done, a crime is a crime. Are you talking to me about fairness here?”

“No substantial harm was caused, the law can give a light sentence, but would you want Rogelio to be lightly sentenced?”

“No,” he said without hesitation, cold and decisive.

Dorothy’s heart suddenly trembled, her face turned pale, “Am I being fair, or am I wrong?”

“He could touch anyone, but he shouldn’t touch her.”

His blatant defense of the words shattered Dorothy’s original expectations.

She thought she could reason with him.

Unfortunately, she really “had high hopes“.

The Lambert family was all–powerful, and Dwayne was ruthless, to himself. How could he possibly let her have her way?

“Dorothy, I didn’t want you to go to Sonia because of Rogelio’s business. You have to remember, she is the victim, and what happened between us has nothing to do with her.”

Dwayne wanted to turn around, and Dorothy, with red eyes, laughed and said, “Then am I not the victim anymore?”

Can’t what Sonia did be called bad things?

Was she asking for it by enduring those things?

He stopped, turned around to look at her, with a complex expression on his face.

“Dwayne, can’t you just be soft–hearted towards/me once?”

Just once.

Once is enough.

“Dorothy,” Dwayne’s gaze locked onto her, expressionless, “This is something I owe her.”

He left the office without looking back.
