Chapter 1484


    Chapter 1484


    It had taken Ian two months only to find a clue because he knew his mother better than other police


    officers.


    His mother had died because of her greed.


    The same thing had repeated itself—she had used some despicable means to attain superiority, and it


    threatened the other party''s interests.


    That was how she had gotten killed.


    Ian took a sip of tea unconcernedly.


    "It’s all in the past."


    His mother’s death did not sadden him.


    Even if it was mentioned again in his life, his heart had long gotten numb over this matter.


    Mrs.Saldana stared at him.


    After all, she was also a mother.


    It was impossible for Ian not to have experienced distress throughout his childhood.


    "It’s not your fault that you have such a mother."


    Ian paused for a bit, thenughed out loud.


    ‘Are youforting me?"


    "I’m notforting you.I’ve always been an unbiased person when ites to separating private


    matters from businesses.I won’t transfer the grudges that I have for your mother onto you."


    Mrs.Saldana said lightly, "Your mother would even use her own child to achieve what she wanted in her


    life.She’s not so different from Juan.I divorced Juan only because I saw through him clearly very early


    on i n life.So, even if your mother were to have seeded i n securing her position as the new


    Mrs.Saldana, she wouldn’t have had a better life than I did either."


    Mrs.Saldana had always been confident due to her family background.


    Meanwhile, Eunice had had nothing, so she could only rely on men and gain benefits through pleasing


    men.


    Thus, even if she were to have seeded in bing the new Mrs.Saldana, it would not havested.

    Juan had always been a person who only cared about the profit he could gain from everything in life.


    As such, if a woman could not provide him with benefits, Juan would kick her away in a blink of an eye.


    This was the truth.


    Meanwhile...


    ine had been sitting in Ian’s cafe for a short while.


    The manager brewed a cup of coffee, brought it to her table, sat down in front of her, and grinned.


    "Are you here to wait for Mr.Saldana?"


    ine was astonished and exined with a smile, "No, I’vee over only for a cup of coffee."


    She lowered her head and drank slowly.


    In fact, she had insomniast night.


    As soon as she closed her eyes, the scene of Ian kissing her forehead would appear in her mind.


    And she could still feel the warmth that came from his lips —it felt so hot that it seemed that they would


    ignite instantly if she were to touch them at that moment.


    Every time she thought of it, a strange feeling would surge deep down, and her legs would feel wobbly


    and weak without her realizing it.


    The manager did not notice anything unusual about her, so heughed.


    "Mr.Saldana has gone out.I guess he should’ve gone to Synergy."


    She returned to her senses.


    "Is he going to take over thepany?"


    "That’s not it.If Mr.Saldana were interested in thepany, he would''ve been sitting in the office long


    ago."


    "You seem to know him very well."


    "How could I not?"


    The store manager then continued.


    "Mr.Saldana isn’t interested in power or anything.Otherwise, why would he resign from the ministry? “


    "He’s a person who likes to do things his own way.Take this cafe as an example.It started only because


    of his personal liking.It doesn’t matter to him if it makes him money or not.The important thing is that he


    likes it."


    ine chuckled.


    "That’s not too bad.At least, he gets t o do what he likes."


    The manager’s gaze shifted away from her and looked at the person approaching them.


    "Yo, Mr.Saldana, you’re back so soon?"


    ine could not help but turn her head around.


    Ian was dressed more formally than he used to, and the well-ironed suit made him look a lot more


    solemn.


    His hair was styled as well.


    His usual appearance looked rather mature and calm, but the overall look that he had on at this


    moment made him look sterner.


    He stopped beside ine and nced at the manager, who consciously got up and moved away from


    the table.


    "I don’t thinkI should be third-wheeling here.I should go back to work already."


    ine returned to her senses subconsciously and looked away embarrassedly.


    "Did you just go to Synergy?"


    "I went there for a short chat."


    He smiled and then asked, "Do you want toe upstairs?"


    ine was astounded for a while and then followed him upstairs with her cup of coffee in a confused


    manner.


    Seeing that she was still holding the coffee, heughed.


    "I''ll make you another cup."
