Listening to the mocking laugh in her voice, Herbert felt a crushing weight on his chest. She was too quick to see through the lies.
The trauma they had put her through when she first returned to Maxlandia had made her hyper-vigilant. She could connect the dots before they even finished their sentences.
"You're right. If it wasn't a lot, you wouldn't have called," she said smoothly.
"I'm sorry," Herbert whispered. "Just pretend I never made this call."
He hung up, his face draining of color. But what was the point of hanging up now? The damage was already done.
Rudolf felt the oppressive aura radiating from his boss but didn't know what to say.
"I've lost my mind," Herbert muttered. The promise of the five mines had completely blinded him.
"She hates it when anyone brings up Susanna or Fairfax," Rudolf gently reminded him.
Herbert knew that. Bringing them up was a guaranteed way to earn her disgust, yet he had taken the gamble anyway with a foolish sense of hope. And he hadn't even gotten a shred of information.
Rudolf sighed heavily.

Back in her room, Starla went downstairs and found her guard. "Luce."
"Yes, Miss."
"Kick Herbert out of Maxlandia. Right now. I want him gone tonight."

"You're a failure as a husband and coward as a Man" This is what i want to say in Fairfax hahaha you dont deserved a wife if you cant protect her...
Hahaha This plot of story i hate about, choosing another girl instead of your own wife is something unreal, you didnt considered your wife feeling, you didnt even trust her and later on you will say sorry?? Was sorry will fixed everything you've done? Was sorry fixed her heart? it was unfair for your wife, you must choose your wife whatever it is. You know your wife well more than anyone else and the only person she should lean on was the person who pushes her away...
Finallyπ...
