Chapter 128

“But he was never praised highly, Ralda, do you know how it feels to fall from the clouds into hell?”

Reynaldo succeeded, but that doesn’t mean I am worthless. Why did I become a waste in their mouths after he became successful? I could hear the anger and unwillingness in Winston’s tone. Reynaldo has always been like this since he was young. So, I cannot provide any opinions on these. Since it was confirmed that Reynaldo would invest in his project, I felt relieved.

I said to him, “Take it slow; who knows, this project might just succeed.”

“Ralda, where are you now?” Winston suddenly asked.

I glanced at the desolate autumn atmosphere around me and said lightly, “You should focus on running the company well. I believe you will succeed. As for the two million my dad owes you, I will repay you with interest when I have the money.”

“No need,” Winston said hastily, “you helped me secure the investment, so there’s no need to repay the twenty million. That’s what we agreed on from the beginning.”

I pursed my lips and remained silent.

He said again, “Ralda, come back, come back to my company. You have the ability, and you work diligently and seriously. Why do you have to care about Reynaldo’s opinion?”

He said you were incapable, so does it mean you don’t need to live anymore?

“Ralda, it is most important that you live your own life well, regardless of what others think of you.”

“So, don’t care about what others think of you either. Reynaldo is Reynaldo, and you are you. No matter what they say, just be yourself.”

“Ralda…

“I won’t go back, don’t worry. I will take care of myself, and also, you keep up the good work.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Winston to say anything, I hung up the phone. Soon, Winston called again, but I didn’t answer. I looked up and took a breath towards the hazy sky.

Actually, I didn’t want to get involved in the struggle between the brothers. So, staying far away is the best option. The phone kept ringing; Winston kept calling me.

It seems this number also needs to be changed. Now Winston is playing; who knows, Reynaldo might call later, and then, because of my sudden departure, he might get very angry with me.

I just want to completely cut off from the past and let Ralda live her life quietly. So, this number had to be changed. I hailed a taxi to the telephone service center by the roadside and got a new card, canceling the previous phone number.

After changing my SIM card, I first called Quentin and told him that I had changed my number, instructing him not to tell anyone. Quentin laughed at me mysteriously, and I didn’t say much to him. Then I called Lavonne again. Lavonne basically understood the situation between me and Reynaldo. So I briefly explained my current situation and thoughts to her, and she agreed that I should leave Reynaldo. Then she asked me where I was at the moment. After I gave her the address, I sat at a roadside snack shop waiting for her.

I didn’t tell my parents about changing my phone number, and now I’m really scared of my dad. He seemed to be convinced every time that I would not ignore him, so he always recklessly caused trouble like this. This time, I made sure he couldn’t find me; let’s see if he can behave himself.

Lavonne rushed over to the snack shop after waiting for about half an hour. As soon as she saw me, she exclaimed with concern, “Oh my goodness, have you been tormented by that Reynaldo these days? Why have you lost so much weight and look so pale?”

I laughed and said, “No, I had already moved out.”

However, looking back on these days, I indeed did not eat properly, and the key is, it seems like my stomach has a problem, as I would often vomit whatever I ate.

Lavonne pulled me up tenderly and said, “Come on, sis, I’ll take you out for a big meal.”

I shook my head and said, “I drank a lot of alcohol last night, and my stomach still feels uncomfortable now. I don’t have much appetite, so I’ll just eat something here.”

Lavonne pouted and said, “Well, you just didn’t take care of yourself.”

She said it and then ordered a bunch of snacks according to the list.

I laughed and said, “You should have ordered less; it’s a waste.”

“It’s okay, you can pick up what you can eat later.”

However, I reckon I really hurt my stomach from drinking last night. I picked up a coarse grain bun and took a few bites, but my stomach immediately churned, and I felt nauseous.
