Yolanda’s eyes widened, and she was actually dumbfounded. Truly, she hadn’t expected Albina to say those words.
Holding the yellowed paper, her fingers tensed that she almost tore the paper.
Albina lowered her head and laughed lightly:
-So, Yolanda, you won’t be able to threaten me with this trick. Even the signature, I can tell that you forged it.
-How shameless, how shameless you are! -Yolanda was so angry that her voice was hoarse.
Albina bit her lower lip and laughed coldly:
-If I were really shameless, I wouldn’t have mentioned the divorce in the first place, nor would I have given up my position as Mrs. Santangel. I’d be standing next to Umberto shamelessly and you’d have nothing to do with it!
Yolanda was breathing heavily. She had known Umberto for many years and was of course aware of his character. Even if Umberto did not realize that he was in love with Albina at the time, if she had not taken the initiative to mention divorce, Umberto would not have divorced her.
-Emma, hold her for me, I have to beat that bitch today! -Yolanda’s hands were bruised. Emma was her loyal little bitch of prey and reached over to try to twist Albina.
Albina braced herself and dodged, screaming angrily:
-How dare you! This is the Eagle family. There is surveillance everywhere. With so many guests in the banquet hall, do it if you want a bad reputation to spread. Anyway, you’ve already lost face once. It’s not very easy for them to fade a little. Do you still want to be famous!
-If you dare to hit me, I’ll let you suffer for my faults, even if I die. I have nothing left anyway. Where there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to fear.
Her eyes were implacable. For a moment, Yolanda and Emma felt intimidated, hesitating in a heartbeat without daring to make a move.
They really wanted to hit Albina. However, seeing their posture, if they really hurt each other, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Yolanda felt that she was much nobler than Albina, so it would be too great a loss if she did so.
When Albina saw that they had given up, she was relieved, but her eyes were still fixed on Yolanda.
That woman was too ruthless. She would never forget what Yolanda had whispered in her ear at the hospital. A human life was nothing in her eyes.
As long as the Carballal family had her back, she could act with such recklessness and treat human lives as if they were nothing.
When Albina thought of her mother’s tragic and humiliating death, her eyes turned red with hatred:
-Yolanda, from the beginning to the end, you are indebted to me. Your three-year coma was not caused by my father. But you, you relied on my blood to wake you up. Out of jealousy, you killed my mother and caused the destruction of my family. I will never let you escape!
Yolanda noticed the hatred and determination in his eyes and took two steps back.
Albina at present was completely different from before. She was obviously so easy to bully and let it rub her the wrong way, but now?
Yolanda’s heart froze, feeling as if she had provoked a desperate madwoman.
Emma grabbed her hand and gave her a wink. Yolanda’s heart suddenly stilled.
What was she afraid of, what could Albina do to her? She had nothing, but the Carballal family behind her, with money and power. How could Albina fight herself?
-You’re a madwoman. I don’t bother with you, you’ve caused me a lot of bad luck! -Yolanda gave her a fierce look. Then, without doing anything, she took Emma with her and walked away.
Watching her go, Albina was confused.
Was this all there was to it?
She thought Yolanda would actually join Emma in beating her, but it turned out that she did nothing.
Albina returned to the banquet hall puzzled. Miguel was relieved to see her return and asked her quietly:
-I saw Yolanda and Emma go to the washroom a moment ago. They didn’t give you a hard time, did they? Did they hurt you?
-No!” Albina told the truth.
Miguel looked at her and saw that she wasn’t really hurt, so he believed her:
-That’s strange! I saw that they seemed so aggressive. I thought they wanted to get back at you for what had just happened.
Albina frowned, did they still have some kind of backstabbing?
Throughout the banquet, she had been very animated and alert, keeping an eye on those two, but it turned out that they hadn’t moved at all.
On the contrary, there was a strange man who approached her while Miguel was away.
This man did not look particularly outstanding, but he was handsome in a sense. His body smelled of faintly discernible Chinese medicine.
He smiled and introduced himself to the bewildered Albina:
-I am the heir of the Seco family, Jaime. Our Seco family is one of Chinese medicine.
Albina nodded in bewilderment:
-May I ask what you are looking for me for?
I had never seen this man before. Looking at his appearance, he didn’t seem to have approached to engage in casual conversation, which was really strange.
Something like mist passed through Jaime’s eyes as he smiled. He asked her a question:
-Have I heard that you are Umberto’s ex-wife?
At these words, Albina frowned. Inexplicably she did not feel too comfortable. Especially, her strange look, which was very much at odds with her handsome and elegant appearance, gave people a very incongruous feeling.
-I’m sorry, I don’t want to talk about it!
Albina flatly refused not wanting to talk to this strange man.
James lowered his head when she turned around, with a cold, stern face and eyes full of sadness. He pulled himself together quickly and strided over to stop her:
-Wait!
Albina looked at him with dissatisfaction:
-What are you doing?
-Miss Espina, listen to me first,” Jaime revealed what he thought was her prettiest smile. Our family has some competition with the Santangel family. Umberto is ruthless and often suppresses our family’s business. I hate him as much as you do.
Albina turned her head, her eyebrows stretching:
-And then what do you want?
When Jaime saw her take the initiative to ask, he gave her a smile:
-After all, only by knowing your enemy well can you win every battle. So I purposely researched some information and found out that you and he had been married for three years, but he failed you. He lied to you for three years and used your feelings to save Yolanda.
-After I learned this, I felt very unworthy for you. Umberto made them in an excessive way. How precious and good a girl’s feelings are! He even threw them away like a piece of cake and trampled on them as he pleased. That kind of man is really scum.
Jaime was filled with righteous indignation, as if it was he who was cheated out of his feelings.
Albina lowers her eyes and, from the man’s angle, her expression declines, as if she was very sad.
Jaime flashed a winning smile. It is said that when women mention a scumbag ex, they will hate his guts.
Umberto used Albina for three years and cheated on her during that period. She should hate him to death. Just now, when she entered the banquet room, she saw the scene where Umberto lost his temper and took her in his arms.
Umberto still had feelings for her, and they seemed to run deep. As long as he used Albina wisely, he could definitely give her a big blow.
-What do you want me to do? -Albina raised her head and asked him suddenly.
Jaime didn’t tell her until he saw her take the bait:
-That kind of scum has to be punished. That’s why I want to ask you to join me to hit him hard and crush him, so that he realizes that girls are not the ones to be bullied.
When Umberto finished talking to Camilo, he saw Jaime and Albina standing in a hidden place talking. His eyes grew cold.
Jaime, for some reason, hated him to the core and was always working against him, biting him like a rabid dog every time, which distracted and disgusted him.
Why was he with Albina, what had he said to her?
Umberto’s heart clenched. Jaime, this villain, could have made up something bad about him in front of Albina, couldn’t he?
He hurried to get closer to the two of them. When he got them close enough to hear Jaime inviting Albina to work together against him, his face instantly darkened.
It seemed that Jaime hadn’t been taught enough of a lesson before – he was instigating even Albina against him!
He was about to approach and try to teach Jaime a harsh lesson when he suddenly heard Albina speak.
Her face was calm, and her beautiful face was very pretty in the soft light, but the words that came out of her mouth were not so pleasant.
-No wonder you were never able to beat Umberto. If you had used this little bit of intelligence in your work, you might have done it for once.
-What? -Jaime froze, not reacting for a moment.
Albina continued:
-Since this is a business dispute, of course it’s based on each person’s skill. You can’t beat him, and, instead, you use this kind of crooked method, that you put your hope of winning on me, a woman. A moment ago you were accusing Umberto of using me. Aren’t you using me?
She said and pointed to her own face:
-Since I’m pretty, do you think I have an empty head and look so stupid?
