บท 143: Robert's Death

Jun drove away as soon as he left the greenhouse. His anger exploded, and he shouted in his car.

Jun Lino Peralta was his real name. Robert Castillon worked under him as an insurance agent and as his close buddy. Robert casually called him Lino but Diane had not known this.

He was a good man but had slowly been addicted to gambling in the casino ever since he won the jackpot once. Gallante had been eyeing him from then on and planned to exploit this weakness. Lino frequently went to gamble with the aim of winning back his losses. Instead, his debts grew higher by the day and his wife and children abandoned him in the end.

In Lino's desperate times, Gallante took advantage and approached him. He promised to pay Lino's debts with more benefits if he became a partner of their scheme, fraud insurance claims. Lino's conscience dictated otherwise. He thought of his family. What if he died and they would lose that life-line intended for them?
