Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 375 Call

Manuel never thought that Irene would actually dare to do such a thing. Drugging the wine was a despicable act. He never thought that the usually prideful Irene would actually do such a thing.

Manuel weakly held the car door and took a deep breath. His right hand pinched his thigh, and the

intense pain made him regain a trace of clarity.

However, a short period of clarity could only make him make the most rational decision. However, he clearly felt the heat all over his body, as if there were tens of thousands of ants crawling around

his body.

After finally arriving at Altona Bay, the driver looked at Manuel’s current situation and said

worriedly, “Mr. Gage, how about I send you to the hospital now?”

“No need,” Manuel refused with a cold look in his eyes.

What Manuel was sure of was that if he went to the hospital today, he would definitely be on the headline tomorrow. At this stage, he could not fall out with Irene.

“Help me in.” Manuel looked at the driver weakly.

If Manuel still couldn’t calm down at this moment, he didn’t know what kind of serious

consequences would occur.

He had already had a bad fantasy at Irene’s room, and it was even to the extent that he almost saw

the driver as Ainsley.

The driver carefully helped Manuel into the house. Under Manuel’s instructions, he also ran a cold.

bath. The bathtub in the bathroom was filled with cold water.

Manuel let the driver leave, and he took off all the clothes he had and lay in the bathtub.

The cold water froze all over his skin. It was obvious that the weather was very cold now, let alone lying in the ice water in such circumstances, but Manuel had no other choice.

Under the extreme coldness, Manuel felt stiff all over, especially his hands and feet had become

numb, and he could not even feel cold.

His whole body trembled, his reason and sensibility switching back and forth. He could not help but take the phone on the table and dial the number.

During the day and night of crying, Manuel had no idea how many times he wanted to call Ainsley,

but he had never really called.

This time, he finally couldn’t hold it in.

The moment the call connected, Ainsley’s voice came out. “Manuel?”

He clenched his teeth from the cold and said with a trembling voice, “Aisy… You answered the

phone.”

The voice on the other side of the line sounded a little cold. “Yes, Mr. Gage, what’s the matter?”

Manuel clenched his hands, closed his eyes, and said unconsciously, “Ainsley… Aisy…”

“Manuel? What’s wrong with you? Are you drunk?” Ainsley asked worriedly.

Manuel suddenly smiled, “Aisy, it’s my fault. I’ve been telling you that the time is not yet right. In fact, I’m

afraid that if one day you really know all the truth, you will ***** me completely. If so, I’d

rather you never know those secrets.”

Ainsley urged, “Manuel, what are you talking about? You hid a lot of things from me before, so are

you going to tell me now?”

“Sorry, I can’t tell you,” Manuel said with his eyes still closed.

“Manuel, you will never hide forever. Even if you didn’t tell me, I would have known sooner or later.

Since there is nothing else, don’t call me again,” Ainsley said coldly and hung up the phone.

Hearing the ****in the phone, Manuel was a little confused. He looked at the phone in a panic and

dialed the number again.

He seemed to have forgotten the conversation between the two just now. He only remembered

the thought of calling Ainsley.

The call connected again. Ainsley asked impatiently, “Manuel! What are you trying to do? You seem to

have forgotten your identity. Do you need me to remind you?”

“Aisy, why are you all in front of me, but I can’t touch you?” Manuel asked doubtfully.

Obviously, Ainsley did not understand what Manuel was saying. She felt that Manuel was playing with

her. “You are Mr. Gage, the fiancé of Irene. Have you forgotten that in another week, it will be

your engagement day?”

Manuel frowned. He knew, but at this moment, he did not want to know anything.

He did not speak. Ainsley only felt bored for a moment. She had enough of always being involved in

Irene’s conspiracy. She also had enough of what Manuel was unwilling to say.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Ainsley hung up the phone again, and Manuel could only take the phone down

frustrated.

Manuel dialed again, but there was no one to answer. He dialed a few more times in panic, and

Ainsley finally picked up the third time.

“Manuel! If you call me again, I’m going to blacklist you.” Manuel’s heart trembled. He could no

longer hold back his trembling. His voice was trembling, and the sound of his teeth chattering.

could be heard from the phone. Ainsley finally noticed. Her tone was serious. “Manuel! Where are

you? What happened to you? Speak!”

“I’m fine, Aisy. Believe me.” His voice became weaker and weaker. “Don’t hang up, okay? It’s just for

a while. I won’t talk.” Ainsley did not hang up in the end.

Ainsley put her phone aside and only heard the occasional murmur coming from the phone.

Two hours passed. In the villa in Altona Bay, Manuel was lying in the bathtub.

Manuel closed his eyes tightly as if he had fainted from the cold. His breathing was steady and

weak.

There was a phone beside his ear, and Ainsley was asking him, “Manuel? Speak! Manuel? Hello?”

Ainsley didn’t get any answer.

After hanging up the phone, Ainsley had been restless. Of course, she understood that she should

not care about Manuel anymore.

However, she had heard everything just now. All in all, she was very sure that Manuel’s current

situation was not good.

She directly called Serina and told her what had just happened. “You should know where Manuel

lives. Go and take a look.”

Serina hesitated and said, “Ainsley, I don’t dare to go alone. Can you go with me?”

Ainsley looked at the time. It was already the middle of the night. It was indeed not safe for Serina

to go alone.

Moreover, Ainsley had yet to get the reply to the question that she asked Manuel in his study room.

She urgently wanted to know the follow-up.

They had arranged a time to meet at the intersection.

The moment she saw Serina, Ainsley felt that something was wrong with Serina. Ainsley asked

worriedly, “Serina, what’s wrong?”

“Ainsley, I’m fine. I was just a little distracted,” Serina came back to her senses and said.

Distracted?

“But we just met. Serina, what happened to you?” Ainsley felt that it was not as easy as Serina said.

Just as she finished speaking, Serina looked up again, her face already covered in tears.

“Ainsley, I saw it.” Her words were still filled with shock and anger.

“What did you see?” Ainsley was confused.

Serina sobbed and said, “The results of the investigation in Ocala, as well as those… evidence.”

Serina saw them, all of them, every piece of them. And it was Manuel, her brother, who personally

admitted they were true.
