Chapter 23 Embarrassment

I froze in place. That voice was so familiar. It was my dad!

My dad had actually come to Reynaldo’s company! Realizing this, I hurriedly went towards the elevator. No wonder those people looked at me like that. It turned out that my dad had come here to make a scene!

I saw my dad chasing a woman out of the elevator, cursing non-stop.

“You shameless bitch! A home-wrecker! No wonder Reynaldo divorced my daughter. It must be you seducing Reynaldo! It’s all your fault! How could you be so shameless? You’re still young. Why not go out and make money by yourself? Why choose to be a married man’s mistress? There are so many men in the world. Why did you choose to seduce my son-in-law? You’re such a shameless bitch!”

The woman my dad cursed looked so innocent and delicate. With her long black hair, she looked so fragile at the moment.

I hurriedly ran over to stop my dad, shouting at him, “What are you doing?”

Dad snapped angrily, “It’s her! Ralda, I’ve asked around and learned that it was this bitch who seduced Reynaldo! Reynaldo loves you so much. If it weren’t for her, he would never divorce you!”

I shouted back. “No! It’s not others’ fault!”

Dad really pissed me off.

I told him, “I divorced Reynaldo, and that was due to our own problem. It has nothing to do with others. Don’t listen to those people’s nonsense, okay?”

But Dad sighed. “Silly girl. Reynaldo loved you so much. There was no reason for him to divorce you! It must be this bitch…”

“Enough!” I interrupted Dad with fury. “I don’t love him! I hate him, okay? I insisted on divorcing him! You hear me?”

As soon as I finished roaring, a respectful voice came from behind me. “M–Mr. Humphrey!”

I instantly froze and slowly turned my body, only to see Reynaldo walking over with a sullen face.

“Reynaldo…”

The woman who my dad cursed immediately covered her injured arm and approached Reynaldo with a grievance.

I stared at her back, feeling she was a bit familiar. After thinking for a moment, I finally remembered that she seemed to be Reynaldo’s unforgettable love, Kimberly. I had seen her before, at the hotel entrance that day.

She must be very intimate with Reynaldo at the company. Otherwise, those staff wouldn’t say that she was Reynaldo’s beloved and also wouldn’t tell my dad about those things.

Thinking about this, I suddenly felt a touch of bitterness.

Reynaldo glanced at the bruise on Kimberly’s arm, and his face instantly darkened. He then looked at me, asking coldly, “What’s going on?”

Meeting his cold gaze, I felt a bit bitter in my heart and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

But my dad hurriedly smiled at Reynaldo with flattery, “Reynaldo, though she’s pretty, she’s still an outsider, isn’t she? Besides, she’s not as pretty as Ralda. You used to love Ralda so much. Why did you suddenly divorce her?”

“Enough, Dad!” I pulled my dad’s arm, feeling so embarrassed.

Reynaldo suddenly looked at me, asking back with sarcasm, “Who said I loved her?”

My body instantly stiffened. I looked at Reynaldo, feeling a pang of pain in my heart.

Indeed, he had never said that he loved me. He married me because we got drunk and accidentally had sex, and the media misunderstood that we were in love. No man would be willing to be forced to marry a woman whom he didn’t love. And no man would be willing to be mistreated by his wife.

Reynaldo was a ruthless man by nature. Of course, he also wouldn’t be willing to. He married me because he was forced to.

But my dad still didn’t believe it and shouted at Reynaldo, “That’s impossible! How could you not love Ralda? You used to listen to her in everything. It must be this bitch’s fault. She must have seduced you…”

“Enough, Dad! That’s enough!”

With embarrassment, I pulled Dad back, hoping that he could stop. But he didn’t listen to me. Instead, he snapped at me, “It’s because you’re such a pushover that this bitch took a chance and stole your man! But don’t worry. I’m here, and I’ll do you justice!”

With that, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to give Kimberly a slap. I was shocked and hurriedly reached out to stop him. But it was too late. Fortunately, before my dad’s hand landed on Kimberly’s face, Reynaldo suddenly raised his hand and grabbed my dad’s wrist.

Kimberly nestled in Reynaldo’s arms, sobbing softly, “Reynaldo, who are they? Why does he wanna slap me?”

“It’s okay.” Reynaldo shielded Kimberly behind him and looked at my dad expressionlessly. “Mr. Duffy, I won’t let you hit my woman on my turf.”

His woman?

I looked at Kimberly behind Reynaldo and subconsciously clenched my hands.

On the other hand, my dad looked at Reynaldo with some confusion, “Mr. Duffy? You call me Mr. Duffy? I remember you used to call me by my name quite respectfully.”

Reynaldo let out a cold sneer, saying to my dad while glancing at me, “Like you said, used to.”

Reynaldo had changed greatly.

My dad also noticed it and hurriedly nodded, saying with flattery, “Yes, yes. Exactly. Reynaldo, you’re different now. I’m really impressed. Look at you. Such an outstanding young man. I’m very proud of you, Reynaldo. That’s my son-in-law!”

I looked at Dad in astonishment. Since when did he become so shameless? I had already told Dad that I had divorced Reynaldo. Why did he still call Reynaldo his son-in-law?

The people around had already begun to laugh at my dad, and I could faintly hear their mockery discussion. But Dad acted as if he had heard nothing.

I suddenly realized that Reynaldo was not the only one who had changed after my family went broke. My dad also changed a lot.

The two of them changed so greatly.

Dad’s smile became even more flattering as he said, “Reynaldo, actually, I came here today to ask you for a favor.”

I realized that Dad was about to ask Reynaldo for money. I immediately pulled Dad over and growled at him, “Stop making a fool of yourself, will you? Let’s go!”

“You brat! I’m your father! Don’t talk to me like that, understand?” After scolding me, my dad turned his face and grinned at Reynaldo again.

I was so furious and used all my strength to try to drag my dad out. At the same time, I growled at him, “Go! Or you’ll never have my care anymore!”

Chapter 23 Embarrassment

Just at this time, Kimberly suddenly walked over and stood in front of me. She asked me kindly, “You’re Reynaldo’s ex-wife, right? Are you in some trouble? Do you need Reynaldo’s help? It’s fine. You can talk to Reynaldo. He’s very generous.”

Compared with my dad’s rude and unreasonable behavior, Kimberly appeared so kind and gentle. After finishing her words, Kimberly even pulled Reynaldo over, asking him softly, “Even if you’ve already divorced her, you’ll still be willing to help her, right?”

Reynaldo looked at me indifferently, but I didn’t dare to look back at him.

Honestly, this was the most embarrassing moment in my life. Even the first time I dressed up like that to ask for Reynaldo’s help, I wasn’t as embarrassed as I was now. After all, Kimberly wasn’t around at that time. But this time, in front of her, I felt so ashamed.

So I said to her indifferently, “Thanks. But no need.”
