The Rise of the Abject Man (Al Detective)
Chapter 69

"Is Brother Bianca the reason you married me?" joana asked with great emphasis.

Joana still vividly remembered when Bianca was crying while holding Alvaro's hand in the hospital. It was very painful for Joana, so stifling in the chest.

The question makes Alvaro pursed his lips, in the end Joana realized that maybe he had been used by Alvaro.

At first, Alvaro wants to use Joana to capture Dion and take revenge on Bianca and Dimas, without thinking about how Joana feels. Perhaps because Alvaro thought Joana would benefit as well, because indirectly he had helped Joana to reach the highest peak in Alpha, let alone the market project in C city had gone smoothly, is doing the development process there and get a positive response from the surrounding community, making Mr. Riki increasingly convinced Joana is the right person to replace him.

In addition, Alvaro has also indirectly saved Joana from Dion.

But there is one thing that Alvaro does not think, that Joana has a heart and feelings, there is no way his heart is not broken if he knows the real reality of the reason he married the woman.

However, Alvaro chooses to answer Joana's honest questions, although he doesn't know what the end will be like when Joana learns all these facts.

"Bianca is my ex-wife."

The four words successfully ravaged Joana's feelings, her heart as if sliced after knowing the painful reality. So hurt. A sense of tightness had enveloped him. It turned out that Alvaro and Bianca's relationship was far from what he had imagined.

Alvaro decides to explain everything truthfully and at length, starting from the affair of Bianca and Dimas until the case he faces in order to catch Dion suspected of being a serial killer. So Joana realizes that she has been used by Alvaro for revenge on Bianca and Dimas, and also used as bait to capture Dion.

Joana's eyes are glazed. Once Alvaro, Dimas, and Bianca performed a play in front of him, even in front of his father, acting as if they did not know each other.

Alvaro feels deeply guilty seeing how Joana expresses when she learns the truth about Alvaro and Bianca's past. Joana looks very disappointed, or even the woman has now hated her.

"Jo." Jo." Alvaro wants to hold Joana's hand. But the woman took her distance from Alvaro, probably because she was still disappointed in Alvaro.

Joana smiled bitterly, the look in her eyes implied that the woman was hurt. "Thank you, Al. Thanks to you I finally gained the trust of papa. Your plan has worked. That's why you don't need me anymore. Dion's problem, you don't have to worry about me."

Although in fact Joana was surprised when Alvaro said he suspected Dion as a serial killer, but he believed Alvaro was not a person who carelessly suspected someone just like that.

Joana does have feelings for Alvaro, but who would not be hurt if he was in such a position. He didn't even want to look at the man in front of him. Joana immediately stood up, as did Alvaro, the man stood up, Alvaro continued to look at Joana expectantly.

"I need some time to think about all this, I hope you understand." Joana asks Alvaro to keep her distance. After saying that, Joana left, she chose to go to the office with the bodyguard, rather than with Alvaro.

For the first time Alvaro hates himself, eager for him to beat himself up helplessly, why he only realizes now that what he is doing will break Joana's heart. Maybe what Joana felt was more painful than Bianca. Joana is the real victim in her revenge plan.

In the car, Joana can't stem her cries, even though she tries to hold it back, but it ends up spilling over as well. So hurtful. He doesn't know after this what he should do to Alvaro? For sure now he needs time to think about how the fate of his marriage with Alvaro.

...****************...

Meanwhile, Dimas gets a surprise from Bianca this morning, the woman suddenly asks Dimas to divorce her. Bianca was tired of living a life full of theatrics like this, pretending to be okay even though her heart was very hurt.

Pretending to be happy, when in fact he was very lonely. Very different from his life with Alvaro, even though their lives are simple, Bianca feels very special by Alvaro. Alvaro treated him very well and never did anything rude.

"You mean what did Bi suddenly ask me to divorce you?" Dimas looks very angry to Bianca, currently Dimas and Bianca are still in the room.

"Because I realized that I was a stupid woman, I had wasted a man as good as Alvaro for my greed. I don't want to lose her again, I can't throw my feelings on her." Bianca answered Dimas's question while crying.

Dimas had no feelings for Bianca, but he was still thinking about her reputation. "How about my reputation? My stepfather likes you so much, you can't just leave this house. What about our second plan? Don't you want to be the big mistress of the Alpha family?"

"I don't need it anymore, all I need is Alvaro. I'll do anything to get back to her, and I'll go back to being a good wife to Alvaro."

Dimas chuckled, "You should realize that your ex-husband doesn't love you anymore, he's crazy about my half-sister, so he's willing to get hurt to protect Joana."

"I know, he used to be so to me, willing to do anything for me. And I'm sure his deepest heart, still my name in his heart." Bianca once heard a pearl saying, that first love is hard to forget. And he was Alvaro's first love.

Bianca promised in her heart, that had she had the chance to return to Alvaro, she would never have wasted the opportunity, she would have returned to being the Bianca she once was, be a good wife to Alvaro and be loyal to him. Doesn't everyone have a second chance?
