He gestured to various items around the room. “All bought with my money. I'll smash what I can. You can keep the rest. After all, I don't need any reminders of things you've touched. Consider it a parting gift from me." With that, Raymond went on his destructive spree-throwing what needed to be thrown and smashing what needed to be smashed. He didn't wait for Amoura's response and left.
His clothes, still in the closet, weren't worth the effort of packing. He had no intention of taking any of them with him. Tossing the laptop into the passenger seat of his car, he started the engine and left the Deleon family's residence. Though the winter air was biting, Raymond rolled down the window halfway. The cold air slapped against his face, but it was a relief, a reminder that he was free from the Deleon family's grasp now.
As the car roared down the road, he grabbed his phone and called Bryan. "Mr. Dawson, I'm back. I... What? I need to go back to work right now?" At the stime, Javier's car headed toward the Deleon family's residence.
When Javier finally walked through the door, Amoura was still seething from Raymond's outburst earlier. "Honey, you're finally back," Amoura said, stepping out from the mess. "How did the press conference go today?" "Not great," Javier replied. His gaze lingered on the mess on the floor. "What happened here?" Amoura's expression twisted in frustration. "It was Raymond. He probably quit in a huff after seeing Bryan and his team be humiliated. But I seriously doubt he can crawl back to Bryan now." No matter how angry she was, deep down, Amoura couldn't ignore the fact that Raymond had done a lot for her. Suddenly, she felt Javier remove her hand from his arm.
"Tell me, Amoura," Javier demanded, his voice icy. "How exactly did Raymond cto work for you?" Amoura's expression faltered. She looked down, a glint flashing in her gaze. When she looked up again, there were tears in her eyes. "Honey, I know I've made mistakes, especially before you stepped in. I just wanted the Deleon Group to grow quickly. I offered high salaries to lure people away from the EB Group-Sanford, Leandro, and two other executives. It's just a normal business strategy, right? I didn't twist their arms; they cto work forwillingly because of the money."
"And what about Raymond? Wasn't he forced to work for you?" Javier interjected sharply. "You deliberately staged that car accident to blackmail didn't you? That's how you his sister trapped him into working for you.
Bryan managed to get proof of this, which is why today's press conference was such a disaster. I was caught between targeting Bryan and defending you, and I chose to protect you."
Amoura blinked, her face still locked in an expression of bewildered innocence. But as Javier's words sank in, she realized why Raymond had acted like that earlier. So, Raymond had been colluding with Bryan the entire time, biding his tand playing her for a fool. And because of her mistake, Javier had been embarrassed today.
