"I have over a thousand ways to send you to jail, try if you dare," Armand said casually with full confidence. This frightened Dora, while she was about to defend herself, she recalled that Armand was a lawyer, he was a law practitioner and could easily frame her with any offend that was enough to send her into jail.
"I'll leave, but first you have to pay my wages this month." Dora was annoyed, she wanted to earn a huge amount of money but got herself fired instead.
Armand reached for his wallet, took out a stack of one hundred bills, and threw it onto the ground.
"You are too rude!" Dora shouted angrily.
Armand on the other hand kept his wallet back into his pocket, "Do you have dignity?"
"Armand, Dora is a nice lady, what are you doing? Who's going take care of me if you kick her out?" Elizabeth grabbed Armand's hand, "Stop all this nonsense…"
Armand took his arms back and said while pushing the wheelchair, "I'll look for a new caretaker, this one is fired."
"Armand…"
"Do you want me at home or her? Your choice." Armand demanded Elizabeth to choose.
"There's no choice to this…" Elizabeth cried.
"But you must choose." Armand insisted, "I will never step into the house again if she stays."
Dora picked up the money on the floor and immediately walked out knowing she was no longer able to stay in this house.
"Dora." Elizabeth felt sad to let her go. A young lady who served as her companion and took care of her, it was a waste letting her go.
Dora turned and glanced at Elizabeth before she walked into the elevator and left.
"What exactly do you want?" Elizabeth didn't know what Armand's intention was.
"Go home," Armand said. And he kept silent on the journey home.
Armand threw everything at home and on the wall set by the master Elizabeth invited last time into the trash bin.
"Armand!" Elizabeth called out nervously.
"I failed to protect my baby, I am destined to be a childless man," Armand said as he tossed the statue in his room into the bin.
Elizabeth was horrified, "You can't toss that away, it will bring bad luck…"
Armand disregarded her and continued cleaning up everything.
Once he finished, he pushed Elizabeth to the sofa and sat in front of her. "I'm a person unworthy of having parents, child, and lover, so my parents died young, I lost my unborn child and my lover is leaving me now. As you wish, I will let go of her, but stop having hope that I will ever get married again and have a child. That's impossible, I, Armand Bernie am destined to be a childless man!"
"Armand…" Elizabeth was truly horrified by his speech.
While Armand was calm. "I'm not joking, Theresa suffers a lot being with me and I won't give you chance to force or pressure her again. I will set her free not because I don't love her anymore but I don't want her to go through all this with me. I'm weak for not being able to protect her, it is also my
fault that I'm not able to satisfy you. Forget about having a child, if you ought to threaten me with death, please go ahead, I won't stop you but will follow you instead. I will suicide after you die, it's a relief for everyone."
Armand stood up once he finished, "That's all I want to say, I'm going to look for a new caretaker now." He walked out after that.
"Armand, wait, Armand." Elizabeth cried out but Armand didn't stop, he walked out without turning back.
Elizabeth was stunned, she didn't know whether she should go back to her room or stay where she was.
At the villa, Dolores came back with Theresa. Knowing Theresa was moody, Dolores sent her straight into her room.
Dolores wanted to leave her alone to rest but Theresa grabbed her hand. "I've made up my mind."
"What?" Dolores turned to her and quickly grasped what she meant. "You've decided to divorce Armand?"
Theresa nodded, "Yes."
Dolores sat at the side of the bed, "I'll support whatever decision you make."
Theresa smiled at her, "I always make the wrong decision."
"It's not your fault. We underestimated Elizabeth's stubbornness." Dolores comforted her. "Stay here at ease."
Theresa nodded.
Theresa was weak, so Dolores left her alone to rest. She closed the door and reminded Coral and Jessica not to interrupt Theresa and not to ask any questions.
Both Coral and Jessica understood the situation right away.
Everyone gave Theresa a warm welcome at the dinner, no one asked anything.
Theresa went back to her room to rest after dinner while Dolores received a text message from Armand. He wanted to meet her, he was at the door.
Dolores went out and saw Armand standing by the roadside, he didn't come in.
"How is Theresa?" Armand asked.
"What do you think?" Dolores knew she shouldn't speak to Armand in this tone but she couldn't control herself seeing how Theresa had suffered. "What's your plan?"
Armand looked at the floor, "As long as grandma is alive, she will always be in our way… There's nothing much I could do, I'll let her go and set her free if that's what she wants."
"You've made up your mind?" Dolores asked.
"I'll listen to her and do as she says," Armand replied.
"This is why you asked for a meeting? Telling me this?"
"No. There's something I would like you to pass to Theresa," Armand said.
