I furrowed my brow and struggled to growl, “You… you let go of me, first listen… first listen to my explanation, okay?”
He was like a madman at that moment, with a gleam of ferocity and hatred in his eyes.
I felt like he really wanted to kill me.
But I couldn’t understand it.
I didn’t do anything terribly wicked to him either, at most he just mistakenly thought I deceived him.
Just because of deception, he would put someone to death. Isn’t he too cruel?
My head became increasingly heavy.
There were several moments when I felt his face was blurry.
My chin was hurting terribly, and the pain was stabbing at my nerves, forcing me to stay awake.
I pushed his chest in distress, almost about to cry out, “It hurts, it hurts, let me go…”
Reynaldo lowered his gaze and then let go.
As soon as he let go, I completely collapsed and clumsily fell to the ground.
My chin hurt so much that I couldn’t even bear to touch it, and I looked

at him with a sense of grievance.
But he just looked down on me, with a cold and fierce expression.
He took a deep drag on his cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke, and uttered his words filled with extreme anger, “Esmeralda, you are nothing but a fraud!”
I didn’t know if he hated deceiving everyone.
I only knew that I deceived him once, and he almost took my life.
I looked up at him with difficulty, trying to explain, “I didn’t lie to you, I really didn’t know that Winston was the big boss of our company at first. I only found out before coming here, really.”
Reynaldo sneered, squatting down and looking at me, “You didn’t know at first? Esmeralda, who are you trying to fool?”
“I really didn’t know!” I groaned weakly, propping myself up on the ground.
Reynaldo took a puff of his cigarette and chuckled at me, “Well, let’s pretend for a moment that you really didn’t know. But before you came, you clearly knew that he was the big boss of our company. So why did you still choose to stay in his company, accompany him here, and even go all out to attract investments for him?”
“Esmeralda, you said you had nothing, how can you expect me to believe it?”
The man stared at me with a mocking look in his eyes.
I knew that he wouldn’t believe whatever I said.
He has always been like this, never trusting me, only feeling disgust

and hatred.
Anyway, things have turned out this way, I must help him secure the investment for the Winston project.
I clenched my hands tightly and looked at Reynaldo, “Let’s not talk about anything else for now, let’s just focus on today’s project…”
“Esmeralda!”
Reynaldo suddenly let out a low roar.
His eyes glared at me with a crimson hue, “He’s right in front of me, and yet you only care about him!”
I shook my head helplessly, “What are you talking about? I didn’t care about him, I only cared about this project.”
You said that as long as I drank those eight glasses of wine, you would agree to invest in this project.

So still three cups left, and I was going to finish drinking
them!
“And Reynaldo, you, as a grand CEO, you cannot go back on your word…”
I struggled to stand up after I finished speaking.
At this moment, the aftereffect of the alcohol kicked in fully.
felt dizzy and lightheaded, unable to stand steady.
When I was about to fall, I could only instinctively reach out for Reynaldo’s arm.

Reynaldo stared at me heavily, not saying a word, but his gaze was icy cold.
I steadied my mind, then withdrew my hand, and made an effort to stand firm on my own.
As I walked out, I shouted at him, “Mr. Humphrey, come over here. I have to drink that wine in front of you, otherwise… otherwise, what if you don’t admit it?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed my arm again and pulled me towards the elevator without saying a word.
I was startled in my heart.
What are you doing? Is he going to take me away?
What about the project investment?
There are still three glasses of wine, I can’t let the previous five glasses go to waste.
And I still owed Winston twenty million, the investment deal fell through, what am I going to use to pay him back?
With this in mind, I desperately struggled to free myself from his grip.
“Reynaldo, what were you doing? Let go!”
“Reynaldo, you can’t go back on your word. You clearly agreed on the investment.”
