At this time, Brad had come back in a hurry.
His appearance was haggard-stubble covering his jaw and dark circles under his eyes. The effects of
the past days, from the issues within his own family to the company affairs, were clearly seen on his
face.
His stomach lurched as he caught sight of Noemi and Brian about to leave. He desperately wanted to
say something, but it was as if all his words were stuck in his throat.
“Are you leaving, Noemi?” Brad asked.

woman?”
Brad choked on his words. “Noemi, she was publicly embarrassed by you out there. She has lost all
her dignity in this city.”
“And why should I care? She knew you were already married and still meddled in our marriage. People
like her deserve to be humiliated,” Noemi said resentfully.
Brad argued, “Noemi, I’m just a man. Look at all the successful men around us. How many of them
don’t have mistresses? I have done my best to control myself. I have shown you respect in front of
others for so many years, haven’t I?”
Noemi’s chest heaved with anger when she heard this.
“So, I’m ungrateful, is that it?”
Brad continued, “Noemi, look at what has happened to our company since you insisted on divorcing.
You are no longer the highly respected Mrs. Cruz.
Your actions not only hurt me but also yourself.”
Fury surged within Noemi. She lunged at him, her palm landing a stinging slap on his cheek.
“Brad, you hypocrite! You still won’t admit that you are wrong! If it weren’t for my family, would you be
as successful as you are now?”
Brad’s face bore the marks of her fury, and he glared back at her, his anger flaring.

man like me have married a divorced woman like you?”
A divorced woman?
How could he say something like that?
After all these years, he finally stopped hiding his true thoughts.
Noemi seethed, her face paling with rage.
Brian stepped in, his eyes flashing with anger.
“Enough! I respect you as an elder, and I won’t comment on your relationship with my mother, but think
before you speak. Don’t forget about Deanna. Have you ever thought about her feelings? She has
seen you two love each other since she was a child. Don’t make her think it was all a facade!”
