Rena had a sinking feeling about what might have transpired. Swiftly, she threw back the covers, rose from the bed and assured, “Calm down.

I'LL be there right away!"

Vera continued to sob on the other end of the line.

Upon arriving at the Luxurious villa where Vera and Joseph resided,

Rena's gaze fell upon Aline, clad in a provocative nightdress. Her disheveled hair and the scratches on her face were evidence of a physical altercation with Vera.

Several buttons on Vera's dress had come off, and an unmistakable palm-shaped mark adorned her face.

Rena could surmise that Joseph had struck Vera.

At the sight of Rena, Vera flung herself into her arms, weeping uncontrollably.

“Rena... I want a divorce!"

Rena's heart brimmed with anger over Joseph's betrayal and his assault on Vera. Yet, she knew that exacerbating the situation would not serve any purpose at this moment.

Guiding Vera to a seat, Rena paid no attention to the shameless duo before her as she retrieved an ice pack and gently applied it to Vera's swollen face.

Guilt washed over Rena.

Had she informed Vera earlier, perhaps Vera wouldn't have suffered

Joseph's blow.

Through her tears, Vera lamented, "He hit me for that wretched woman!"

Vera clung tightly to Rena's hand, trembling with anger.

"It turns out they've been together for years. They've engaged in numerous intimate encounters on my own bed."

A wave of sadness washed over Rena.

She cast her gaze upon Joseph, hoping to discern his stance in this tumultuous situation.

Joseph seethed with anger. Though he did have genuine affection for

Vera, her fiery temper often proved difficult to handle. On the other hand, Aline always presented herself as submissive, offering him both physical and emotional comfort.

Joseph harbored no regrets.
