"No, I know you must know where he is. Please, tell me, will you?" Rosa's voice grew increasingly desperate as she sobbed.

Skylar raised an eyebrow, noticing Rosa's unusual behavior. Did Rosa finally realize Stephen's true nature but couldn't find him and came to her out of desperation? Skylar's expression darkened slightly when she thought about this possibility. She silently mouthed "Rosa" to Joe, who was glancing her way.

Joe's eyes turned cold at once.

Rosa burst into tears, sobbing loudly. "Skylar, I know there's been a lot of friction and conflicts between us. I admit that I targeted you in the past and lied to Joe.

"But no matter what, I used up all my money to save Joe when he had his car accident. If I hadn't done that, he could have died in the hospital. So, I'm his benefactor. "Please, I really need to find Stephen. He deceived me!"

Seeing no reaction from Joe, Skylar replied calmly, "I really don't know much about Stephen, nor do I know him personally.

"If he has indeed deceived you, then he's likely gone into hiding and won't be easy to find. If I were you, I'd go to the police immediately."

Judging by Rosa's tone, it seemed she had been thoroughly deceived by Stephen.

Rosa suddenly broke into uncontrollable sobbing. "I trusted him so much! I used up almost all my money for him and even sold the apartment I just bought. I never thought he was deceiving me! Why? Why is fate so cruel? Why did I have to encounter a fraud like him?" "Tell her to report to the police as soon as possible," Joe said in a low voice.novelbin

Skylar nodded. When Rosa's crying subsided slightly, she said, "You should file a police report immediately. The police will help you find him quickly."

"You must be laughing at me, mocking how foolish I've been. You warned me, but I still let Stephen deceive me," Rosa said bitterly, mocking herself. Skylar was momentarily speechless. She could never understand Rosa's thought process.

But what was the point of telling her all this now? Could it recover her losses? Could it punish Stephen?

So, Skylar just said with a calm tone, "I have other matters to attend to. Goodbye."

After ending the call, she looked at Joe.

Joe took a sip of water and said, "Adults have to take responsibility for their actions and decisions."

Skylar agreed, and the two continued their meal.

...

Meanwhile, Rosa sat slumped in a hotel room.

The room was in complete disarray, with many things shattered and strewn about.

After selling her apartment yesterday, Stephen had taken the money and left. Since then, his phone had been switched off.

When Rosa went to the company today to investigate, she discovered that none of the businesses Stephen had told her about actually existed.

The company's finances were managed entirely according to her instructions, with funds transferred directly to Stephen.

She had given Stephen such

significant authority because she

trusted him completely. But now, after carefully reconsidering Stephen's words from yesterday, she realized they didn't hold up at all.

Stephen had used her! He was a total fraud!

Now, she believed every one of the accusations she had read online

accus Even the money he

lost at the casino might be hers!

It wasn't just her money—it was the money Joe had given her to ensure she would live comfortably for the rest of her life.

But, it was all gone now.

She only had a few tens of thousands of dollars left. That wouldn't be enough to sustain her for long. "Yes, I have to report him to the police. He stole so much from me. I can't let him get away with it!"
