Allyce sat dejectedly in her seat, shaking her head vigorously, trying to shake the rag out of her mouth.


    But when he shook him so hard that his head was dizzy, he couldn’t shake him.


    He took several deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.


    Silently, in his mind, he analysed the current situation.


    She didn’t know how long she had been asleep, but she had just had breakfast when Amado Mejía had knocked her unconscious and tied her up.


    I wasn’t hungry yet, it wasn’t even noon.


    He was in a short meeting with people from thepany, so Severo was not conveniently present, and so he decided to go to see Severo at short notice.


    Meanwhile, thepany people thought she had gone to see Severo, and Severo must have thought she was still with thepany people.


    And when would someone from thepany meet Severo?


    This meant that the people in thepany would not know that she had disappeared until they saw Severo.


    And it was highly unlikely that anyone from thepany would go to see Severo on their own initiative, as she was the only one in a senior position among those who came and was the one whomunicated directly with Severo if anything came up.


    Thinking about this, Allyce felt a little helpless.


    He had been trying to avoid Amado Mejía for some time, but had not seeded.


    …


    Severo had a phone call with Xabat on business.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    The two talked for a long time because this time he had been away too long and had a lot of unfinished business.


    When the call ended, he saw his men approaching.


    When Severo saw them arrive, a hint of displeasure shed across his face: “Why are you here, where is she?


    Severo was wary of what had happened to Amado Mejía.


    Although she had warned Allyce, she was still concerned that she might be careless and had her subordinates follow her at all times to protect her.


    In fact, he brought in a few of his subordinates to take care of Allyce.


    One of his subordinates replied: “Hasn’t Miss Dhoze to fetch her?


    Earlier, Allyce and the others were holding a brief meeting and some of his subordinates were left outside.


    When the meeting was over, Allyce asked them to help her carry some things.


    When they finished carrying the things, they realised that Allyce hade to see Severo and hurried to follow her.


    “When did youe to see me!” Severo’s face sank, and between his brows there was a fury almost on the point of bursting.


    When several subordinates saw Severo like this, they did not dare to breathe for a moment.


    As soon as they saw Severo’s furious look, they knew something was wrong.


    “Bang!”


    Severo did not hold back and pped the satellite phone in his hand.


    It’s all because of bad phone calls!


    Although he preferred to believe that Allyce had simply gone somewhere else in the middle of the day, the chances of that happening were slim.


    She herself had been paying attention since he had given her the warning.


    That, and if it had been two years ago, I would not have been so obedient.


    But, in two years, she has grown up on her own without his involvement, she is more level-headed and calm, and she is not so self-willed.


    Severo’s face hardened even more at the thought of thest two years.


    He repressed the anger in his heart and his voice was somewhat muffled: “Go and find someone.


    Now was not the time to get angry.


    This was not Cloud Cit, and if Allyce was really missing, it would not be easy to find her, and for those unfamiliar with the terrain, every second was precious.


    Some subordinates quickly left.


    Severo, on the other hand, went alone to Amado Mejía’s house.


    …


    Severo approached Amado Mejía’s door and checked that it was unlocked.


    He kicked open the door and walked in.


    “Amado Mejía,e out!”


    Severo entered with a sombre face and searched both rooms, but there was no sign of Amado Mejía.


    At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside.


    Severo turned around and saw Amado Mejía, who hade in from outside with two books.


    When Amado Mejía saw Severo, there was a sh of surprise in his eyes: “Se?or Betances, what are you doing here?


    Severo was no longer in the mood to chat with Amado Mejía.


    He reached over and grabbed Amado Mejía by the cor of his shirt, his voice as cold as the water in a deep pool: “Tell me, where have you been hiding Allyce!”


    At first, he could have got rid of Amado Mejía by the strongest possible means.


    But I knew that Allyce still had some expectations in the back of her mind, that Amado Mejia was not that kind of bad person.


    On the other hand, I knew Allyce was serious about this project.


    But I didn’t want to end up in this situation.


    Severo, who was much taller than Amado Mejía and in a fit of anger, grabbed Amado Mejía by thepels and almost lifted him up.


    Amado Mejía stood on tiptoe, his face so tense that he spoke with some difficulty: “Se?or Betances, I do not understand your words …”.


    Severo scoffed: “Don’t you understand?


    Without waiting for Amado Mejía to react, he bent his knee and drove it hard into Amado Mejía’s stomach.


    A man like Severo nevercked hostility in his bones, he was just good at hiding and containing it.


    “Cough …” Amado Mejia arched his back and coughed dryly, covering his stomach.


    Severus was about to speak again when he looked up and saw Esme walking towards him.


    He was carrying half a bag of stuff on his shoulder and had obviouslye to deliver something to Amado Mejía.


    Esme was facing the door, so she had seen what Severo had just done to Amado Mejia.


    By then he had run over, saying as he did so, “Oh, what’s the matter, why is there a fight, let him go, don’t get into a fight …”


    Esme came running up and, dropping something over her shoulder, went over to dissuade them.


    Amado Mejia. looked at Esme with an unfriendly face, only his voice was a little weak: “Esme, what are you doing here again?”


    “I dug potatoes in the field this morning and brought you some …” Esme turned to Amado Mejia as she reached for Severo’s hand, “Let him go, all the children in the vige are waiting for Amado Mejia to teach them to read.”


    “You don’t have to worry about that, as for the vige children reading, I will build you a school and hire professional teachers so they can learn more systematically.


    Severo spoke with a sombre face and an icy tone.


    Esme froze, looked at him, then at Amado Mejia, and finally leaned towards Amado Mejia.


    “Untie Amado Mejía first. …”


    Severo looked at her coldly and released Amado Mejia before taking a seat to the side and saying to Esme, “You can go now”.


    Esme saw that Severo had finally let go, and only then did he turn to leave.


    As he walked away, he nced back from time to time – they weren’t going to fight again, were they?


    When Esme’s figure disappeared, a relieved Amado Mejía looked at Severo: “Se?orita Dhoz, is she your wife?
