Chapter 1484
It had taken Ian two months only to find a clue because he knew his mother better than
other police officers. His mother had died because of her greed. The same thing had
repeated itself—she had used some despicable means to attain superiority, and it
threatened the other party's interests. That was how she had gotten killed.
Ian took a sip of tea unconcernedly. “It’s all in the past.”
His mother’s death did not sadden him.
Even if it was mentioned again in his life, his heart had long gotten numb over this
matter.
Mrs. Saldana stared at him. After all, she was also a mother. It was impossible for Ian
not to have experienced distress throughout his childhood. “It’s not your fault that you
have such a mother. ”
Ian paused for a bit, then laughed out loud. “Are you comforting me?”
“I’m not comforting you. I’ve always been an unbiased person when it comes to
separating private matters from businesses. I won’t transfer the grudges that I have for
your mother onto you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMrs. Saldana said lightly, “Your mother would even use her own child to achieve what
she wanted in her life. She’s not so different from Juan. I divorced Juan only because I
saw through him clearly very early on in life. So, even if your mother were to have
succeeded in securing her position as the new Mrs. Saldana, she wouldn’t have had a
better life than I did either.”
Mrs. Saldana had always been confident due to her family background.
Meanwhile, Eunice had had nothing, so she could only rely on men and gain benefits through
pleasing men. Thus, even if she were to have succeeded in becoming the new Mrs. Saldana, it would not have
lasted.
Juan had always been a person who only cared about the profit he could gain from everything in life. As such, if a
woman could not provide him with benefits, Juan would kick her away in a blink of an eye.
This was the truth.
Meanwhile...
Elaine had been sitting in Ian’s cafe for a short while. The manager brewed a cup of coffee, brought it to her table,
sat down in front of her, and grinned. “Are you here to wait for Mr. Saldana?”
Elaine was astonished and explained with a smile, “ No, I’ve come over only for a cup of coffee.”
She lowered her head and drank slowly.
In fact, she had insomnia last night.
As soon as she closed her eyes, the scene of Ian kissing her forehead would appear in her mind. And she could still
feel the warmth that came from his lips — it felt so hot that it seemed that they would ignite instantly if she were to
touch them at that moment.
Every time she thought of it, a strange feeling would surge deep down, and her legs would feel wobbly and weak
without her realizing it.
The manager did not notice anything unusual about her, so he laughed. “Mr. Saldana has gone out. I guess he
should’ve gone to Synergy.”
She returned to her senses. “Is he going to take over the company?”
“That’s not it. If Mr. Saldana were interested in the company, he would’ve been sitting in the office long ago.”
“You seem to know him very well. ”
“How could I not?” The store manager then continued. “Mr. Saldana isn’t interested in power or anything,
otherwise, why would he resign from the ministry?
“He’s a person who likes to do things his own way. Take this cafe as an example. It
started only because of his personal liking. It doesn’t matter to him if it makes him
money or not. The important thing is that he likes it.”
Elaine chuckled. “That’s not too bad. At least, he gets to do what he likes.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe manager’s gaze shifted away from her and looked at the person approaching
them. “Yo, Mr. Saldana, you’re back so soon?”
Elaine could not help but turn her head around. Ian was dressed more formally than he
used to, and the well-ironed suit made him look a lot more solemn.
His hair was styled as well. His usual appearance looked rather mature and calm, but
the overall look that he had on at this moment made him look sterner.
He stopped beside Elaine and glanced at the manager, who consciously got up and
moved away from the table. “I don’t think I should be third-wheeling here. I should go
back to work already.”
Elaine returned to her senses subconsciously and looked away embarrassedly. “Did you
just go to Synergy?”
“I went there for a short chat.” He smiled and then asked, “Do you want to come
upstairs?”
Elaine was astounded for a while and then followed him upstairs with her cup of coffee
in a confused manner.
Seeing that she was still holding the coffee, he laughed. “I’ll make you another cup.”
