Sergio was baffled. Everything had been completely normal before getting into the car. Once inside, Shirley seemed bold, accusing his wife without proof. She showed no signs of fear in his presence.

But right after Shirley saw the results of the paternity test, she became terrified of Sergio.

Sergio checked the paternity test results. He saw nothing suspicious.

Yet, why did Shirley suddenly start fearing him after seeing the test results?

The driver was also thinking about this. "It happened after she saw the results. Could it be that..."

“What?"

The driver chuckled. "Sir, it's just a guess."

"Go ahead."

"It's simple. She was sure Rogelio was her child, but the paternity test proved otherwise. She must suspect you're the one who hurt her, and that's why she's afraid of you!" Focusing on the road, the driver uttered his reasoning.

Turning a corner, the driver realized Sergio had fallen silent for a while.

Glancing at Sergio in the rearview mirror, the driver saw Sergio lost in thought, brows furrowed. Unable to resist, he asked, "Sir, I was just talking. You didn't take it seriously, did you?"

Sergio didn't answer immediately. Then, he abruptly ordered, "To the office."

“What? Oh, sure." The driver changed lanes and turned the car around.

He wondered if Sergio was actually considering this. Could Sergio really have raped Shirley? This situation was grave.

Once they were back at the office, Sergio called Matteo in.

Sergio had two assistants. Brennen Castillo handled work tasks primarily, while Matteo Norris took care of personal matters.

Brennen was the more skilled professionally but Sergio had a closer personal bond with Matteo.

Matteo was privy to Sergio's secrets.

Last year, during the company retreat before Christmas day, Sergio had been drugged, and Matteo had handled the aftermath.

The next day, Matteo uncovered the culprit and fired the employee responsible for spiking Sergio's drink. Marnie was found by Matteo.
