When I saw Heriberto, he chuckled and said, “Hey, Mr. Hale, what’s up? Just tell me if you need anything, I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Heriberto finished reading a document, then slowly raised his eyelids to glance at Luke. He leaned back in his chair, and his thin lips curled slightly without any meaning.
“How many times did you sleep with Melanie?” he asked directly.
Luke was stunned for two seconds when he heard it, then he grinned and said, “Mr. Hale, are you kidding me? Alice is your girlfriend. How could I possibly sleep with Alice? I wouldn’t dare even if you gave me 100 guts.”
“Are you serious?” Heriberto said, glancing at Curtis behind Luke.
Curtis got it and immediately kicked Luke in the knee pit.
Just heard a “click” sound, and then, Luke “plop” down in front of Heriberto.
The next second, Luke let out a pig–like scream that echoed through the huge office.
His leg was broken, Curtis kicked him, he had a compound fracture and couldn’t move at all, kneeling on the ground.
Heriberto leaned back in his chair, quietly staring at him, waiting for his howls to slowly fade away, weaken, before speaking again to repeat the question he had just asked.
“How many times did you sleep?”

“Ten, a dozen times…”
Luke hunched his back, hands struggling to support himself on the floor, “I slept with Alice, like, ten times, for about a month.”
Heriberto’s stern face suddenly darkened, “When?”
“It was all three and a half years ago.”
Luke was such a coward, he didn’t dare to hide anything. “He deliberately called me from my hometown to Ardiham, and took the initiative to let me sleep. After sleeping for nearly a month, he asked me to go back.”
Three and a half years ago…
Heriberto furrowed his brow for a moment.
Heriberto furrowed his brow for a moment.
Wasn’t that the time when he got drugged, ended up sleeping with Melanie, and then Melanie got pregnant?
“Do you remember the specific time?” he asked again.
Luke definitely remembers, because it was his first time in Ardiham, and that month, Melanie took good care of him, feeding him well and occasionally rolling in the sheets with him.
He lived a life like a fairy tale, how could he forget.
Of course, Heriberto didn’t forget the night he was drugged and slept with Melanie.
So, when Luke heard the specific date, his face “sank” instantly and turned completely dark.

Because Luke slept with Melanie, it happened right after he slept with Melanie.
Since they had already been in a relationship, and he had promised to take responsibility for Melanie at that time, why did Melanie still take the initiative to sleep with Luke?
“Was it you who forced Melanie, or was it her own choice?” he finally asked.
“Of course she made the first move, she already had you protecting her at that time. If she didn’t make the first move, how could I have slept with her? Besides, she was still a chick back then…”
Luke wailed.
When Melanie slept with Luke, she was still a chick…
Heriberto squinted his dark eyes, and suddenly realized.
That means, that night, he didn’t even touch Melanie.
That night, even though he lost his mind, he didn’t completely lose his memory. And from the way his body felt when he woke up, he concluded that he did indeed have a crazy night with a woman.
And the sheets still had the woman’s first blood on them.
If that woman wasn’t Melanie, then who was it?
Why was it that when he woke up in the morning, the person lying next to him was Melanie?
Was all of this planned in advance?
Who planned all of this?
