Chapter 9
Myra reported the situation to the organization and received their approval. She was allowed to take the train back to the city in five days.
Joaquin didn’t have much of a reaction to this, his mind was now filled. with thoughts of where Harley had gone and how much Myra had actually kept from him.
After thinking it over, he decided to first figure out one thing.
Myra was followed by Felipe to find out if she was indeed instructed by Harley.
After the last incident, Felipe was grounded by his own father.
Joaquin had been lurking near the mayor’s house for several days, and finally, he waited for Felipe to climb over the wall.
He hid in the dark and heard Felipe’s henchman speak obsequiously, “Boss, where shall we go for fun?”
Felipe patted the dust off his body and exclaimed in surprise.
“I went to find Myra first, to accompany her in that play. I almost got beaten to death by her man, and the wound still hasn’t healed until now.”
“She hadn’t given me the promised payment yet.”
Joaquin felt a chill running up his spine.
Was the acting he mentioned in his mouth referring to what happened that day?

It seems that he guessed right.
With this in mind, Joaquin rushed out and, taking advantage of the fact that no one had reacted yet, he directly pinned the son of the village against the wall.
His younger brother, upon seeing the situation, not only did not come forward to help, but instead scattered like monkeys when a tree falls, and ran away in a flash.
Felipe looked at the fierce and menacing Joaquin in front of him, and hist legs trembled a little.
“You… How did you suddenly appear?”
Joaquin had a serious expression.
That day, Myra was drugged and followed, was it a play that you had planned?
Felipe was somewhat embarrassed and angry.
“You eavesdropped on our conversation!”
Joaquin tightened his arm and glanced meaningfully at the wound on Felipe’s face.
“Don’t talk nonsense, unless you want to get beaten.”
Felipe pouted and rolled his eyes at him.
“Yeah, don’t you ever wonder why you happened to pass by?”
Joaquin’s voice trembled a little.
“Did Harley not instruct you to do all of this?”

“What does it have to do with her?”
Joaquin lowered his head and absentmindedly stared at the floor. His once bright eyes were now shrouded in a layer of dark mist, losing all their radiance.
Did Myra also slander Harley about this matter?
He also forced Harley to apologize to Myra and locked her in a dimly lit shed.
Joaquin tightly bit his lips, his face devoid of color, presenting a sickly pallor.
He thought of something again and quickly looked up to continue asking.
“What about the child, is Myra’s child mine?”
Felipe had a bewildered expression.
“What child? She was pregnant, and I didn’t know? I even went to see her before I was put in confinement, and she wasn’t pregnant at that time.”
Myra was not pregnant, and even though she said she wanted to return to the city and marry him, she was involved with other men.
Joaquin let go of Felipe and burst into laughter.
Felipe glanced at him with disgust and quickly ran away.
Joaquin held his head and knelt down on the ground; tears overflowed one after another.
What has he been doing these days? Why is he unwilling to believe Harley, even if it’s just one thing, perhaps Harley wouldn’t leave so decisively.

Now, there remained only deep regret in his heart.
Over the years, he always pretended not to care about Harley because he knew deep down that their age difference was too great and there would. not be a good outcome.
In the face of Harley’s enthusiastic pursuit, he never explicitly rejected her, giving her hope, only to destroy it without hesitation.
It was him who made the mistake; everything was his fault.
Joaquin stood up, wiped his face haphazardly, and walked towards his home.
Now he wanted to go and find Myra to ask her about the truth of the
matter.
