Chapter 2 38: Love Slave
With Enzo’s constant targeting, Olivier Rios’ company quickly filed for bankruptcy.
Diego’s health was gradually improving, but Agnes would soon be tried in court.
Enzo hired Noam Lopez, the best lawyer in the country, while Agnes couldn’t even hire a decent lawyer due to the Rios family’s financial problems. It is no surprise that she was found guilty and sent to prison.
Old Madame Rios also left the big villa and moved into a small rental with Olivier and Diego.
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult the other way around.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Old Mrs. Rios had become accustomed to living a good life and could not adapt to the absence of people in her service. She had visibly lost weight in a short time. Additionally, the conflicts between her and Olivier also increased. Every two days there was a little quarrel; every three days there was a big quarrel.
Olivier had wanted to divorce Agnes for a long time. Now that this has happened, he has expressed his wish to divorce Agnes again. However, old Madame Rios strongly opposed the divorce, saying that Agnes was the mother of her two children no matter what. She didn’t care how much Olivier played outside, but Mrs. Rios’ position must belong to Agnes.
Because of Agnes, the shrew, the Rios family was ruined. Therefore, Olivier blamed and held a lot of grudges against old Madam Rios due to her refusal to accept the divorce. He touched her sore spots every time they argued.
Maybe they argued too much. In the end, old Mrs. Rios had a heart attack. She was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but she could not be saved and left the world.
The Rios family was dead. Not only was the family broken, but Diego was also disfigured. He was depressed for a long time before finally leaving M City.
The Rios family has long been a hot topic among M City’s elite circle.
Meanwhile, Roxane was unaware of all these issues. Over time, his mood continued to improve. She followed Sebastian around the company every day, and occasionally he took her to social events that he couldn’t refuse.
Many people in the circle made fun of Sebastian for being a love slave, bringing his wife everywhere. They joked that he might as well use a rope to tie his wife to his side.
Roxane could feel people’s strange looks, but she didn’t know why. She didn’t dwell on the subject either. She spent her days happily, accompanying Sebastien to the company, painting, chatting with Lucille or stealing Sebastien’s coffee beans to make coffee for her brother.
The peaceful, warm and relaxing days were interrupted by the arrival of Christine.
Christine came to the company with the intention of secretly observing Raoul’s working conditions. Ultimately, she discovered that her time with the company was not as smooth as she had imagined. Instead, she was suppressed by her seniors and ostracized by her colleagues. He was also always given the most tiring and dirtiest tasks to handle.
She was young and direct. It was also the first time she fell in love. How could she accept that the person she loved was wronged in this way? As a result, she publicly argued with Raoul’s superior.
Because of Christine’s identity, Raoul’s superior naturally couldn’t say a word of retaliation.
However, this matter quickly reached Sebastian’s ears, and a few of them were called to his office.
It was currently afternoon. Roxane slept late the night before, so after eating, she took a nap in Sebastien’s private living room.
Sebastian confirmed that she was sound asleep in her living room before gently closing the door. Then, he turned to look at the few people standing in front of his desk with a grim expression on their faces. A storm was also brewing in his eyes.
Christine didn’t rush to complain when she saw Sebastien. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she choked up and said:
– You… It’s too much…
Christine’s tears immediately fell like rain.
Sebastien returned to his seat and looked at Raoul. Beneath her lashes, her eyes shone briefly. From a young age, he had been raised as the successor of the Flores family. Apart from receiving a top-notch education, he had also taken many lessons such as horse riding, archery, golf, etc. His nobility and arrogance carved deep into his bones were all a result of his wealth.
Raoul was completely different from Sebastien. Although his posture was straight and unyielding, he still seemed inferior. Only the brand new leather shoes on his feet smelled like cheap leather.
