Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 13

The domestic worker trotted to open the door.

She was surprised to see the man outside.

Few people knew Iris had married into the matchless Hale family in Ardiham. But the whole country knew who Heriberto was.

“You…you’re Mr. Hale, the CEO of the Hale Group.” The domestic worker was dumbfounded for two seconds. “May I help you?”

Iris frowned slightly when she heard this.

Nathaniel, however, couldn’t be bothered to conceal his emotion.

He jerked up, pushed away his chair, and darted toward the entryway.

Iris didn’t know what to do.

“Where’s Iris?” Heriberto stood at the door, scanning the room with a gloomy expression.

He tried to catch a glimpse of Iris with his sharp eyes, but an exquisitely embroidered screen blocked his view.

“Oh, Mr. Hale, what brings you here this morning?” Before the maid could respond, Nathaniel’s mocking voice was heard.

The next second, he stepped out from behind the screen, his indifferent face tinged with sarcasm.

Heriberto’s face darkened even more.

“This is quite an unexpected visit!” Nathaniel walked to the entrance, met Heriberto’s blazing gaze, and said with a smile.

“Mr. Cantrell, we’re here to see Ms. Aguilera. Could you call her out?” Mara cut in, upset at seeing Heriberto being mocked.

Nathaniel’s smile froze at the mention of Iris.

His mouth twitched as he sneered, “Who do you think you are to boss me around?”

“Mr. Cantrell, Ms. Aguilera stole…”

“Mara!”

Mara was humiliated and furious, about to retort when Heriberto cut her off.

“Stole?”

Nathaniel caught the last word, his face darkening terrifyingly. He glared at Mara. “Who stole? Say it again if

dare.”

Mara wasn’t afraid of Nathaniel.

Nathaniel was the boss of Lumora Group. Yet, it was a tiny company compared to the Hale Group, the leading enter- prise in Ardiham.

But she was afraid of Heriberto.

She glanced at Heriberto and silently shut her mouth.

“Mr. Cantrell, is this your apartment?” Heriberto asked abruptly.

“Whether it is or not, what does it have to do with you, Mr. Hale?” Nathaniel raised an eyebrow, leaning on the en- trance cabinet. “Mr. Hale, just speak your mind. I’m quite busy.”

In the dining room, Iris sat motionless at the table, listening to every word.

Mara accused her of stealing.

She was curious about what she was accused of stealing that brought Heriberto here.

“If Iris is here, please call her out, Mr. Cantrell,” Heriberto said politely.

Right now, Lumora Group was way behind the Hale Group. But Lumora Group had only been around for five years, while the Hale Group had been going strong for over a century.

Still, in just five years, Lumora Group was worth over a few billion. Given time, it would definitely hold a candle to the Hale Group.

“Ira is not here,” Nathaniel replied. “Mr. Hale, you can leave.”

“Is that so?” Heriberto’s deep voice turned cold. “Mr. Cantrell, since you’re so unfriendly, I guess I’ll just have to be rude.”
