Why do you have that face?”“Edward, my boy, things are getting completely out of control here, I don't know what to do, all the shareholders are waiting for you, and I don't think th
Edward goes straight to the hospital where Lía was, the worst thoughts were running through his head, he wanted to escape from everything that tormented him, the last few days had been catastrophic and losing the presidency of his company was the worst news he could have received.“Good morning, Mr. Collen. How are you? “A doctor receives him before he could see Lía.“Well doctor, were you the one who called me?“Yes, it was me, I am Lía's personal doctor, I called him because a fairly complex situation arose with her.“What do you mean, doctor? I am not understanding anything.“She tried to take her life, unfortunately but due to carelessness she took some pills, a good amount, and if it weren't for a nurse finding her, at this moment the story would be completely different.“But what the hell is going on in this woman's head?

Is there any sign?“No sir, I have been working to see if it is possible for the police to find him, but the guy looks like he has been swallowed by the earth.“That's too suspicious.“With all the money that was stolen, it doesn't seem strange to me that he changed his identity or something similar, there is not a single record of him.Edward simply remains thoughtful, the worst thoughts were running through his head, he distrusted everyone, especially his brothers, he was losing absolutely everything he had worked for many years, and he regretted his carelessness.“Sir,
