Breaking Free from the Ex-Husband novel Chapter 91

Chapter91

This Luke guy, claimed to have the video of Melanie saving Heriberto by the river back in the day.

Heriberto squinted his eyes and looked Luke up and down.

“Hehehe…”

Luke looked around the huge CEO office and Heriberto, with a creepy smile on his face, and said cautiously, “Mr. Hale, I’m Luke, Alice’s neighbor, we used to be really close!”

Alice was Melanie’s name back home, she was called Alice Montelle.

Later, Heriberto took her to Ardiham, and that’s when she changed her name to Melanie.

The name was changed by Heriberto, and when he heard Luke shout “Alice“, he obviously knew who it was.

“Oh, Alice is now Melanie, Mr. Hale, you must know that,” Luke said with a smile.

Heriberto squinted at him, didn’t beat around the bush, and asked directly, “Do you really have the video of Meie saving me by the river back then?”

“Of course!”

Luke puffed out his chest, squinted his eyes, and said, “Back then, it was me who first found you lying by the river, almost dying. I then called out to Alice who happened to be passing by your side to save you. If I hadn’t been on the other side of the river, I would have saved

you myself.”

He chuckled again, “If you think about it, I’m actually Mr. Hale’s real lifesaver.”

Heriberto was skeptical, squinting his eyes again.

“Don’t you believe me, I have a video. I was afraid that Alice would deny it, so I deliberately recorded the video at that time.”

Luke said, He took out his phone from his pocket, then opened a short two–second video clip to show Heriberto.

In the video, it was Heriberto lying unconscious by the river without moving.

Heriberto took a glance, his dark eyes instantly darkened, and his brows furrowed.

“You see, I didn’t lie to you, right?” Luke said smugly, watching Heriberto’s reaction.

“So you’re saying, when you found me, I was already lying by the river, and Melanie just happened to pass by, you called her over, and she took me to the hospital?” Heriberto asked, his voice deep with concern.

“Yeah, you were lying by the river at that time, it was so cold and snowing. If we hadn’t rescued you any later, you would have frozen to death,” Luke said, puffing out his chest.

Heriberto listened, his brow furrowing even tighter.

He remembers clearly what happened on the ship back then.

He was knocked on the head by the bandits and fell into the river.

The second before he passed out, he did hear Iris shouting his name

and felt someone chasing him into the river.

Was it really Iris who jumped into the river with him?

Wasn’t it a fact that Iris was washed away to a place far from where they had the accident, and then rescued while unconscious?

Why did Iris chase him and jump into the river?

Besides saving him, what other reason did she have to jump into the rushing river on such a cold day?

So, Iris jumped into the river and grabbed him, struggled to get him to shore, and then got swept away herself?—

Heriberto started to have a headache again, with a throbbing pain in his temples, feeling like his head was about to explode.

Melanie lied.

Melanie lied to him from the beginning.

It wasn’t Melanie who jumped into the river to save him at all.

That’s why when he woke up in the hospital, Melanie was fine, no injuries or cold.

He was so stupid.

Why was he so stupid, being fooled by Melan

all this time?

“Since you were the one who truly saved me, why didn’t you show up all these years?”

Heriberto pressed his forehead hard, his voice deep, “Why did you only come now?”

“I had something to do at that time, so I went out for a few days. When

I came back and found Alice, she was kneeling in front of me, begging me not to show up and not to tell anyone the truth,” Luke said.

“Did you agree then?” Heriberto asked, his furrowed brow showing a headache.

Luke pulled out a chair in front of him and sat down, shaking his head smugly, “I’m not stupid. When Alice knelt down and begged me, she must have saved you and gotten some huge benefit. I’m not going to agree to it.”

“So what?”

Alice said, “You are very rich and will take her away to live in a big city.” She promised, “As long as I agree to her request not to appear in front of you and not to tell anyone the truth, she will give me fifty thousand dollars every month from now on.”
