S21 40. Comfort Barbara

Paul started to growl. His head shook firmly. “You can’t separate me from Barbara. She’s my daughter!”

“She is also my daughter, and the sister of the richest businessman in the world. You think she will choose you? You even had the intention of stealing her favorite diamond.”

“You…!”

Melanie quickly raised her hand. “Enough. There’s no point in us arguing. It will only prove that we are no longer compatible. Now go!”

Melanie glanced at the fence in the distance.

“Take care of your company. If you can make it number one company, maybe I can consider coming back to you.”

Paul’s fists began to shake. His shoulders shook violently.

“You’ll regret throwing me away. You won’t be able to be happy, Greedy Woman. And Barbara won’t be able to stand following you.”

Melanie shrugged her shoulders lightly. “We will see later.”

After snorting, Paul got into the car. His determination was firm. He would take Barbara and ruin Melanie’s life after their divorce.

As Paul left, Melanie picked up her phone and called someone. Her expression looked terrible.

“Paul said he knows my secret. Find out where he keeps the evidence.

Get rid of it!”

Hearing no more sound, Barbara thought her mother would come in soon. She hurried away from the door. However, she realized that she would not have time to escape. The room was too large to run away.

As her head spun around looking for a place to hide, someone grabbed her wrist from behind.

“Shh!” Philip put his index finger to his lips. “Follow me.”

Having no other choice, Barbara followed Philip behind a pillar. When they arrived there, Melanie’s footsteps were heard. Barbara suddenly held her breath. She resigned herself when Philip turned her shoulders around the pillar, avoiding Melanie’s point of view.
