"Could you give us a moment? I need to have a word with her".

The doctor nodded and quickly left. Dexter looked down at Barbara condescendingly and asked icily, "Say it. How much do you want from us?"

Barbara never expected him to say that from the start. She began to quiver with rage as she said, "Lorenzo, do you think that everyone is as shameless as you? Dud you think that we're all money grubbers like you?"

She promised me she would let go of Mr. But behind my back, she plotted against me and set me up so that Myra would see her in my bed. Because of that, Myra broke up with me. Your mother has never been blameless in this tragedy! I became like this because of her! Do you understand?" "Bullshit!" Jeremy did not believe that his gentle mother would pull such a plot.

She said she despised him. Besides, Emily could not conceive and with that in mind, he found her together with Barbara, he ended up making this decision. Dexter's eyes darkened. "Have you found out the identity of the person who abducted the child?" "No, the hospital's surveillance video was blurry and the man wore a mask, therefore his face was not apparent at all," John replied. That was a premeditated act!

I checked her call records and could not find any clues that she was linked to the incident." Added John. Dexter believed that it was not Raina who took Eden away from the hospital.
