    Chapter 24


    Alfie smashed the ss on the floor, whichnded on the carpet with a m u f f le d sound, tolling the


    ending bell for the dinner.


    The room was all quiet except for ire’s sobbing. She had been dragged up by Allie and was


    crying with her head down on the side.


    Moira nced at the ss lying on the floor. It was not broken. Coffee was spilled and seeped into


    the carpet.


    She stared at it seeping until it was invisible. She looked at Alfie, feeling the string pulling her heart


    finally broke. Instead of sadness, she felt relief.


    “it’s over, Alfic,” she said softly, yet everyone inside could hear her. She picked up her purse and


    headed out in her wheelchair.


    Her words were like a hammer hitting on Alfie’s heart.


    He subconsciously reached out to grab Moira, but Moira, as if she had expected it, moved her hand


    to the side and avoided it.


    The wheels of that wheelchair pressed against the nket, making a sound so small it was barely


    audible. But soon, that sound got louder. The wheels rolled on the ground. The sound got louder,


    and then lower, and then disappeared.


    Moira had just left the room when she ran into Bary, who was walking over.


    She was a bit surprised. “Mr. Covington, what are you doing here?”


    Bary nced at her. “Are you here for dinner?” he asked in reply.


    He didn’t seem to know about her having dinner with the Guzman family today. Moira nodded and


    asked, “You too?”


    “Yeah,” he answered. He had been drinking. Moira could smell alcohol from him..


    Bary walked behind her wheelchair and asked, “Are you alone?”


    Moira shook her head. “No, I’m with my father.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, Aiken came out of the room. He was surprised to see Bary.


    Bary calmly greeted him. “Hi, Mr. Jimenez.” Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Aiken nodded at him and said, “Let’s go.”


    After Moira exited the room, Aiden said some harsh words. When ire showed up, he was furious.


    He was fed up with Alfie’s b u l s h i t.


    Bary didn’t ask anything and pushed Moira’s wheelchair towards the elevator.


    Aiken’s words were simply a p in the face of the Guzman family, and Jeffrey was so embarrassed


    by Alfie. He stepped forward and pped Alfie hard. “Look at the mess you’ve made!”


    Lara was displeased with Moira’s cruelty but sighed in relief when ire barged in, thinking, Alfie


    was spared kneeling.


    However, Aiken’s words made her unsettled. She went forward and pushed Alfie. “What are you


    waiting for? Chase her! Don’t let her be someone else’s wile.”


    Allie stormed out and ran to the elevator just in time to see Moira and Bary.


    Bary stood right behind Moira. Seeing Alfie appear at the elevator door, he looked at him forcely


    like a coyote looked at its prey.


    The elevator door was about to close, so Alfie subconsciously called out. “Meira!”


    Moira looked at him as if looking at a stranger. Her eyes were calm and
