Did he not bring her to the Monroe family to help Neil But after just one day, hente her to leave just because she slapped him.
Or was he venting the anger for Averic!
âWhen I come back, I donât want to see you again. Carlosâs voice silled Vers to the core
Tm not leaving.â Vera shouted in frustration, Iâll stay if you want me to, and I have to leave if you demand that. What do you take me for?â
Tll have the housekeeper arrange payment for you. His words sounded like Vera was angry because she lost the generous- salary.
Veraâs nose tingled. Filled with bitterness, she gritted her teeth al reiterated, âI wonât leave unless Neil is cured
