Chapter 128
As long as Merlin said a word, Heriberto being detained in Querada for a year and a half was no problem.
Megan sat on the side, with a big “I refuse” written all over her face and in her heart.
Heriberto was just being emotional, knocking on his ex–wife’s door in the middle of the night to talk. Is that really a crime?
And Iris, what was she up to now?
Every day avoiding Heriberto is one thing, but then actually teaming up with Merlin to harm Heriberto is another.
If Iris were here right now, she would definitely give her a few big slaps to make her reflect on her actions.
“Sir Knighton, my son was just looking for love, why did you have to arrest him? What law did he break?”
Staring at Merlin, she angrily asked.
Charlie sat next to her, too late to stop.
“My love?!”
Valeria heard and sneered, “Madam Hale, who’s your son’s lover n Isn’t it that violin–playing, big cello queen Melanie who looks like a pile of shit? How come your son has moved on so quickly?”
Megan looked at Valeria, about to snap back in anger, but Charlie pulled her back forcefully.

“You guys…”
“Merlin!”
Megan was about to speak again when Charlie raised his voice and interrupted her, “In dealing with Iris, both Heriberto and the Hale family were way out of line.”
Men are usually more rational than women, and they are also more practical.
Charlie knew that whether it was Merlin or Valeria, everything they were doing now was just for Iris.
As long as they straighten up and show Merlin their sincerity, he probably won’t give them a hard time.
“Over the past six months, Heriberto has been regretting and blaming himself, desperately searching for Iris’s whereabouts, not for anything else, just to apologize to her in person, beg for her forgiveness, with absolutely no intention of hurting Iris again.”
He stood up and said sincerely, “I’m here to guarantee on behalf of my son that we will never disturb Iris’s life again as long as she doesn’t
