Chapter 192 Taking Matters Into Her Own Hands.
Be it Jamil or Leonica, it was clear to Irene that both of them had tossed her out after getting what they wanted.
"Bastards," She cursed under her breath as she sat in her car, biting on the finger nail of her thumb. "Just you wait." She muttered, scrolling through her contact to see who she could use.
But no one seemed to be forth coming. Those articles and tabloids released about her a few days back had really dented her image, up to the point that those who she considered friends, had distanced themselves. And as for the business Arvan had opened for her, it’s condition worsened more than it previously was, hitting near bankruptcy.
It was safe to say her desire to be part of the Romero family had caused the rest of she and Jamil’s plans to implode.
But she wasn’t going to give up so easily.
"I won’t let you win, Leonica," She said, her tone sounding more like she was trying to convince herself than anything, as she scrolled through her caller list and found Benjamin’s number.
She dialed it, hoping for him to pick up since it was nearly night. The line rang three times before his voice sounded from the other side.
"Who is this?"
"It’s Irene," She answered, ignoring the fact that her own father didn’t have her number stored. Well, she wasn’t his favorite child, his legitimate child, so it wasn’t a surprise.
The sound of Benjamin sighing pulled her out of her bitter thoughts. "What do you want Irene?"
"For you to help me," She nearly snapped, finding it funny how her own father hadn’t raised a single finger to help her out in this situation, whereas he was ready to take a client worth billions and give to her all to save Leonica. "I am your daughter, you can’t just leave me alone. Do you hate me that much, or is it that just can’t measure up to Leonica." She sneered.
