Chapter 12
She opened her notebook, recording the torment Mateo had put her through over the years.
The first time, he deliberately humiliated me in front of others in order to make me obedient.
The second time, in order to make me behave, he made me kneel for a full five hours.

The ninety-ninth time, he made me crawl into the dog cage and bark like a dog for Valerie.
For the hundredth time, he dug my mother’s grave with his own hands in order to make me apologize.
Every single thing was a wound inflicted by Mateo, all leading her step by step towards the truth of death.
Mateo no longer had the courage to continue reading, it was like a knife deeply embedded in his heart.
He scrolled to the bottom and found a recording. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to click on it.
Not long after, Valerie’s voice came from inside, only to hear her clearly saying, “My party must have roses and cake, one cannot be missing.”
And all the requests she made were recorded by Catalina.
Upon hearing these words, Mateo could no longer contain his anger and clenched his phone tightly.
So at the banquet, everything that humiliated Catalina was intentional on Valerie’s part.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh.
I grabbed my phone and rushed home without even thinking.
The arm gripping the steering wheel was bulging with blue veins, and it took running three red lights before arriving
home.
When I got home, I saw Valerie still playing with the roses she had bought.
It seemed that Valerie hadn’t expected Mateo to come back so soon. She didn’t even have time to hide the roses and could only smile and ask, “Mateo, why did you suddenly come back?”
“Why didn’t you tell me in advance, so I could have asked the butler to prepare some of your favorite dishes…”
Mateo looked at her coldly, “Are you done pretending?”
“Mateo, what does this mean?”
Mateo chuckled lightly and played the recording directly from Catalina’s phone,

Upon hearing her own voice, Valerie’s face immediately turned ugly.
“Mateo, listen to me, the fact is not like that…”
“Catalina had never liked me, the recording is fake!”

As soon as the words fell, Mateo laughed and shouted at her with red eyes, “Valerie! Do you think I’m a fool? I really can’t tell what’s true and what’s false?”
Valerie was taken aback, she grabbed Mateo’s sleeve and her eyes turned red.
“Mateo, you believed me.”
Mateo pushed him away and said coldly, “Believe you? Then how do you explain the roses behind you?”
“I have already had someone investigate, this is already the ninety-ninth time you have bought roses. Do you dare to say you don’t like them?”
Valerie knew that no matter how much she said, it was useless, and she put on a pitiful expression.
“Mateo, I did all this because I loved you too much, I didn’t want you to care about other women…”
“Until now, you were still standing by that woman’s side, then what about me?”
Mateo had no patience to listen to her words anymore, so he directly sent someone to buy a cake with a different
cream.
“My by the g
Valerie looked at the various sizes of cakes being brought into the villa and asked nervously, “Mateo, what is this for?”
“You know, I was allergic to cream, so I couldn’t eat cake…”
As soon as the words fell, Mateo chuckled, “Really? Then you eat them all and let me see how allergic you really
are.”
Valerie shook her head and immediately her eyes turned red. “Mateo, don’t do this. I don’t want to eat it. The doctor said if I’m allergic, what if…”
The words were cut off before they could finish, “Eat!”
Seeing that Valerie still hadn’t moved, Mateo had someone shove the cake into Valerie’s mouth.
“Matteo, I didn’t want to!”
“Mateo!”
Listening to her crying voice, Mateo’s heart remained unmoved.
Until she finished eating all the cakes, there was not a single change in her body.
Mateo sneered, his face looking as if it had been slapped.

“Are you allergic?”
Valerie was startled by the expression on Mateo’s face, she had always been aware of his tactics.
“Mateo, don’t be angry. I just wanted to get your attention. I didn’t mean to hurt Catalina on purpose!”
“I really loved you to do this…”
Her explanation was filled with tears, but Matco couldn’t hear a word of it.
“Enough!”
He looked at Valerie with a fierce look in his eyes and said, “Tell me, was the ring on our wedding day also deliber- ately planted on Catalina by you?”
Valerie hesitated, “It wasn’t…”
Mateo had long lost his patience, “Is it or isn’t it!”
Valerie was startled by Mateo’s shout and cried, saying, “Yes, but it’s because I love you too much, Mateo. Listen to me…”
Upon hearing these words, Mateo’s heart had already shattered into pieces, but he forced a smile and laughed out
loud.
Mocking his own self-righteousness, laughing at his own foolishness.
