Stone-faced, Noemi walked into a luxurious hotel run by her business empire.

Once inside the opulent suite, she turned to face Brian, her eyes stern.

"Brian, are you going to divorce Rosalynn or not?"

Brian's brows knit together as he declared, "I've already made it clear. I have no intentions of divorcing Rosalynn.”

Noemi's voice shook with fury as she countered, "You're just like your father! A woman comes into the picture and you lose all sense of reason!"

Despite his rising frustration, Brian kept his voice calm.

"Mom, I get that you're concerned for me, but let's not blow things out of proportion. I'm no longer a clueless teenager. I'm well aware of my actions."

Noemi stared into his eyes, his features strikingly similar to her ex-husband's. It brought back memories that stirred sadness within her.

"Your father wasn't a teenager either when he fell for that woman. He was a successful businessman. And what became of him?"

His father had been ensnared by her charm and Brian had almost died because of that.

As tears blurred her vision, Noemi grasped Brian's hand, her voice trembling.

"Brian, my worries for you are real. You've had such a hard life. I can't bear the thought of you getting hurt again.”

With a sigh, Brian tenderly wiped away his mother's tears.

"Mom, you're overthinking things. Rosalynn won't hurt me. Plus, I owe my Life to her grandfather. If it comes to that, I won't hesitate to give my life back to her.”

Upon hearing Brian's words, Noemi released his hand and retorted, "Enough of that. Remember, her grandfather wasn't the only one who saved you. Selina also saved you before. Don’t give Rosalynn extra consideration for this. You're well aware she's no saint and she's been dishonest."

Selina's eyes sparked. Noticing Brian's thin lips pressed tightly together and his brows furrowing with annoyance, she understood his patience was dwindling. In an attempt to ease the tension, she intervened.

"Perhaps you should take a break, Noemi. You must be tired."

After a long, taxing journey and a heated exchange at the restaurant, Noemi was indeed drained.

She nodded, dismissing Brian with a wave.

"Carry on with your tasks.

But think over what I said and divorce Rosalynn sooner rather than later."

Brian's Lips pressed into a firm Line as he responded, "Mom, rest well. For the record, I won't divorce Rosalynn."
