Dwayne picked up the documents without changing his expression, as expected, “Dorothy asked him to look it up.”
“The Calhoun family and the Lambert family have always been at odds. Ms. Acosta is close to Mr. Calhoun, if she is being used by Mr. Calhoun…”
“That was her own business.”
The man’s eyes were cold and indifferent, with “not caring” written all over his face.
Margaret was speechless.
What does it matter if you lose face?
“Shall we still investigate Rogelio’s case?”
Dwayne fell silent for a moment, “Check everyone related to him.”
Margaret had not been out for long when she received a call from Sonia.
Sonia cried on the phone, “Dwayne, Brenden got hurt and he won’t go to the hospital with me no matter how I try to comfort him. He insists on you being there.”
Dwayne frowned slightly, “Is it serious?”
“When he fell, the ground was covered in shards of glass, his knees were bleeding, and there was no first aid kit at home…”
He replied indifferently with a simple “Mm,” and said, “I’ll come over once I’m done with my work.”
Dwayne hung up the phone.
Sonia’s face turned ugly as she listened to the busy tone on the phone.
Before, Dwayne would say “I’ll be right there,” but now, what does he say?
Come over after finishing work?
After the incident of falling into the water yesterday, Dwayne realized that he had misunderstood Dorothy, “that bitch“, and his attitude towards himself did change indeed.
She absolutely could not sit and wait to die.
An hour later, Dwayne finally brought the doctor to visit Brenden. The doctor examined the wound on the child and found it inflamed, so he gave Brenden a tetanus shot.
After tending to the injuries and the doctor left, Sonia looked relaxed and said, “Brenden is just too afraid to go to the hospital, otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered you when you were busiest. Dwayne, I’m the one causing you trouble, right?”
Her voice was very soft, as if she knew she had made a mistake and was cautious around him.

Chapter 210
Dwayne’s tightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly upon seeing her attitude of needing to please others.
She had suffered so much just because of telling a lie once, he blamed her, which was unfair to her after all
Dwayne slowed down his tone, “No trouble, don’t overthink it.”
Sonia, with tears in her eyes, said, “I know I shouldn’t have been stubborn and lied. I won’t do it again in the future.”
“Dwayne, I won’t push you anymore. I know we can’t go back to what we had. It’s the who has been stuck in the past and refused to move forward. But now I have come to terms with it. After all, I have Brenden now, and I am no longer worthy of
you.”
Dwayne looked at Sonia, his heart calm yet complex.
They did love each other, that’s for sure. He owed her, too.
But now he forced her to make a concession.
