He paused, gauging Domenic’s reaction.

“What did she say?” Domenic pressed, his voice deepening with concern.

“We tried asking her, but she wouldn’t explain.

Though, I did overhear another resident mention she seemed to be searching for something among the bushes,” the guard replied.

“Looking for something?” Domenic’s gaze intensified suddenly, sharp and probing.

She had broken up with him, casting aside their relationship along with the necklace.

So why was she searching for it now?

Or was her attempt to return the necklace merely a game, a strategy to keep him intrigued?

Seeing her covered in dirt with her hair slightly disheveled, Leonel raised an eyebrow and asked, “Have you been mining coal or scrambling through tunnels?”

She pressed her lips together, choosing to remain silent.

Leonel had been informed of her circumstances by Juanita.

He knew she had ended things with Domenic for good this time.

As for Domenic’s true identity, Juanita had chosen to keep that to herself, thinking it wiser to avoid more trouble.
