Gabrio snorted and leaned back, leaning back in his chair with a somewhat dark look on his face.


    It was clear that he was waiting for Allyce’s next words.


    Allyce reached for her ss of water and swirled it around a bit before asking Gabrio, “What exactly did you mean by what you saidst time?


    At one point, it was difficult to know whether being overly sensitive was a good or a bad thing.


    When I had mentioned Eric to Severo yesterday, he had been too forting in his response.


    It was perverse that this should happen to Severo.


    This means that …


    Maybe Eric’s injury had something to do with him, but he didn’t want her to know.


    She directed the question in another direction, but being too proactive made her suspicious.


    Gabrio seemed to sigh softly: “I thought it would be a long time before you came to ask me about it.


    “So what exactly do you know?”


    Allyce’s voice was a little shaky as she asked the question.


    She was beginning to regret going to Gabrio a little, worried that she might know some terrible answer.


    Gabrio had repeatedly mentioned Severo’s mother.


    Severo had approached her inexplicably at first, with an ulterior motive.


    Now, however, she and Severo seemed to lead a quiet life.


    But beneath the surface of this calm was a dark tide that neither of us had touched.


    Although they had not touched it, they both understood that the questions that were real were always there.


    Instead of telling her immediately, Gabrio asked her once more: “Are you sure you want to know? If you are sure, I will tell you.


    Allyce’s fingers, clutching the ss of water, tightened sharply, and her bones whitened slightly.


    He nodded: “Tell me, I want to know”.


    Gabrio could see the conflict and wandering in Allyce’s mind.


    He thought of that night, on that ruined basketball court, when Severo, nervous but in an extremely calm tone, had said: “Everything I decide, I do, I put her first”.


    Following Severo’s words, Gabrio was determined to tell Allyce as soon as she came to ask him.


    And finally, at this point, his emotions became a little moreplicated.


    “Gabrio, what are you worried about? Does it have something to do with my father? Do you think I still don’t feel anything at this point?”


    Allyce’s eyes shed with a hint of confusion, which quickly disappeared again.


    Gabrio’s brow furrowed slightly as he nced sideways at the bustling traffic scene outside the window, his voice fuming, “When Severo first returned to Cloud Cit, he was secretly investigating your father and the victim at the time, surnamed Betances, named Ari.”


    “Ding …”


    Allyce unconsciously tightened the cloth under her hand and the fork she was holding fell to the floor.


    It wasn’t a loud sound, but it resonated uncontrobly in Allyce’s mind.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Severo had been investigating her father’s case since she returned home.


    The victim’s surname was Betances and her name was Ari.


    Surname Betances …


    Severo Betances, Ari Betances.


    Allyce blinked hard to calm herself and spoke with some difficulty: “So …”.


    However, she only managed to get words out of her mouth before she got stuck again.


    So … had Severo said all along that he had approached her about the case?


    When Gabrio saw Allyce’s face, he felt a twinge of remorse.


    But he also knew that, even if he didn’t say anything, Allyce would find out one day.


    There is no impermeable wall and there are no secrets forever.


    Even if both parties involved might be dead.


    “I’m telling you this because you want to know yourself, and I know that this, for sure, will have an impact on the rtionship between you and Severo, but you have to follow your heart and trust what your heart determines ….”


    Gabrio was already a little confused as to what he was really talking about.


    If he had been selfish, he could have used this incident to sow discord between Allyce and Severo.


    He had actually thought about it selfishly, had almost said it a few times, but had held back.


    He wanted to remain a brilliant and honest man, and he wanted to remain the Gabrio in Allyce’s heart.


    When Allyce looked up again, her face was calm: “I know, thank you, Gabrio, let’s eat first”.


    Just then, the waiter came over to serve the food.


    Gabrio was concerned about what Allyce looked like now.


    But he knew that these were matters between Severo and Allyce, they had nothing to do with him and he could not interfere.


    …


    When she left the restaurant and returned to the office, Allyce was still in a daze.


    As soon as Ester saw her, she ran to her and whispered, “Director Dhoz, President Alvidrez is in his office.


    Allyce turned his head and looked at her for six or seven seconds before asking, as if he had suddenly reacted: “President Alvidrez?


    “Yes, he’s been here for a while, he’s probably looking for you”. Ester thought there was something strange about Director Dhoz today.


    He had been fine when he came out, but now he seemed to be in shock.


    I’ve never seen Allyce like this before.


    A little uneasy, she asked: “Superintendent Dhoz, are you all right?


    “I’m fine, I’m going back to my office first, you go ahead.” said Allyce, waving her hand at him, her movements seemed weak.


    When he arrived at the office, Desiderio was sitting on the sofa, smoking.


    The room didn’t smell much of smoke, and it seemed that Desiderio hadn’t smoked much yet.


    Allyce pursed her lips and gave a small smile as she poured herself a ss of water and turned to him, “Dude, what brings you here?”


    Desiderio had spent very little time in the office in the few days he had been here.


    As head of the wealthy Alvidrez family, there were always a few people who wanted to make friends and contacts wherever he went.


    So even if he doesn’te to the office, he is still very busy.


    Normally, Allyce did not see Desiderio in person unless she had a special appointment in advance.


    Desiderio put out the cigarette in his hand, took the water that Allyce held out to him and asked, “Why are you so pale?


    “I didn’t sleep well untilte.” Allyce made up a random excuse and sat down opposite Desiderio.


    Desiderio took two slow sips of his water, while his eyes watched Allyce.


    After a few moments of silence, he spoke slowly: “Severo met Eric yesterday, did you ask him to help you with your father?


    Allyce froze.


    Without waiting for her to say anything, Desiderio added: “Last night I had dinner at Kimdis and I saw Eric enter Severo’s box, weren’t you there?


    “I don’t …” Allyce shook her head, looking a little stunned.


    “Never mind, I didn’te for nothing, I just came to see you, I’ve been busy with something pointlesstely.” Desiderius leaned back, eyes slightly closed, and reached over to rub his temples, his whole body looking tired.
