Chapter 154: The Announcement

Book:The Blind Wife Published:2024-6-3

-Never! -Albina quickly refused.
Seeing her refusal, Umberto frowned, wondering why Albina preferred to ask an unknown man to help her investigate the matter.
Could it be that she still didn’t trust him enough and didn’t want him to interfere in this matter? Thinking about that, Umberto felt very uncomfortable.
He always felt that Albina didn’t love him as much as she used to and always tried to keep the distance between herself and him.
But they were all his own fault. He had no choice but to do his best to treat her much better than before so that she would trust him more.
Umberto’s depression made Kevin a little uncomfortable. As soon as he finished what he wanted to talk about, he stood up to leave:
-Albina, I have to go. My subordinates will look into this matter. If we find anything important, I’ll tell you right away.
Albina nodded and stood up:
-Let’s go.
Then she looked at Umberto and said warmly:
-Wait for me here.
Umberto nodded. Watching Albina and Kevin leave, he sank into thought.
As soon as he sat down, his handsome appearance caught the waitresses’ attention. Finally, a pretty girl came to his side.
She adjusted her clothes, handed Umberto the menu and asked in a sweet voice:
-Sir, what would you like to drink?
Umberto raised his head and looked at her with gloomy eyes. But the waitress did not dare to look directly at Umberto, as if there was an invisible pressure that took her breath away.
She remembered the woman who had just left:
-Are you waiting for your girlfriend? Then I’ll come back to you when she returns.
As she was about to leave, Umberto stopped her:
-Wait!
He looked at the menu and said:
-A cappuccino and a tuna sandwich.
Albina didn’t like coffee, so she used to drink cappuccino. Since Macos said Albina didn’t eat lunch, she should be very hungry.
The waitress was stunned, then quickly took the menu. When she got into her companions, she was asked:
-Did that handsome boy talk to you?
Remembering Umberto’s look, the waitress shuddered unconsciously:
-You’d better serve him the food. I can’t.
Albina went out with Kevin. When she opened her car door and saw Umberto’s somber face through the window, Kevin said to Albina:
-Mr. Santangel looks angry when you refused his help.
Albina looked from the window at Umberto’s cold expression, saying helplessly:
-I also know that Umberto will be able to get my father’s property and house back for me -but she sighed-, you don’t know Ramon and his relatives. They don’t know my relationship with Umberto. If Umberto helps me, those shameless people will besiege Umberto to ask for more money.
Those people gave him a lot of pain in the head.
-Umberto has helped me enough. I don’t want him to get into so much trouble.
A person’s emotions could not be consumed at will. Therefore, she didn’t want to have unnecessary conflicts with Umberto because of Ramon and family.
Looking at her hair, Kevin realized that this girl was as kind as her father. He involuntarily felt sorry for her and touched her hair:
-Albina, from now on I will be your brother. If you need my help, contact me directly.
Albina was stunned. Her eyes turned red:
-Thank you!
When Kevin left, she returned to her seat and was stunned to see the sandwiches and steaming coffee in front of her.
When Umberto saw her return, all the coldness in her face disappeared. He pushed her to sit next to him and said very intimately:
-I ordered something for you.
The coffee smelled fragrant and the sandwich was very tempting. When her stomach growled, Albina remembered that she hadn’t had lunch yet.
Umberto pushed the food in front of her, smiling:
-Let’s make the most of it!
Albina was watching Twitter while eating. When she saw Umberto’s company statement, she was shocked.
She coughed so hard that tears came to her eyes. Umberto patted her on the back:
-No cell phone while you eat.
Albina grabbed his big hand and showed him the screen:
-Have you posted it yet?
After Umberto clearly read the content, he understood why Albina was so surprised:
-Yes.
When he went to the company in the morning, he already asked the police to publish the fire that happened more than ten years ago and Yolanda’s lie, that she didn’t really save anyone in that catastrophe Finally, a missing person notice was published, looking for the savior of that year.
-Are you going to do something to Yolanda’s family?
Albina sympathized with Umberto for having been cheated for more than ten years and was excited to think that Umberto was going to put an end to Yolanda’s crimes. Thinking that, Albina looked at Umberto with sparkling eyes.
Seeing her expression, Umberto touched her hair:
-So happy?
-Of course! Yolanda, my enemy, how can I not be unhappy? -Albina did not hide her excitement, asking, “Do you need my help to beat Yolanda?
Umberto wanted to refuse, but as Albina was so excited, he nodded:
-Our company doesn’t have a garment department. Although the sale of Yolanda’s company’s suits is going down, it is still considered the profitable part.
Albina didn’t know that she could help Umberto in this area, so she straightened her back and patted him on the shoulder:
-Leave it to me.
Looking at her happy look, Umberto said:
-Drink your coffee. I’ll take you home later. I will be a bit busy during this time and we may not see each other often.
Albina nodded quickly, as she was very delighted because Umberto was looking for a way to beat Yolanda and her family.
***
Yolanda also saw Umberto’s tweet, clutching her cell phone tightly:
-I didn’t know Umberto was so impatient and didn’t leave us enough time.
Hearing her words, her father frowned and said:
-You already understood last night that Umberto would take action -What surprises you at this point? Hurry up and let the police handle it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the company will face a lot of problems.
Yolanda was angry, not daring to read the comments on the Internet. In recent days, there were negative news about her, so her reputation was already ruined. She just hoped that it would not have an impact on her company. Otherwise, all things would be out of her control.
As she was about to go to the police, her cell phone rang. When she saw the call, Yolanda frowned, hesitated for a moment and then picked it up:
-Jaime, what’s wrong?
-Why didn’t you tell me that something so big happened?
Jaime was excited and somewhat angry. When he realized that his emotions were too intense, he slowly calmed down.
He had just heard about Umberto’s tweet.
-How could this matter be exposed!
Jaime’s eyes were full of irritability. At that moment, the fire was so serious and the surrounding surveillance was destroyed. Moreover, the crowd was concentrated at the front door. Jaime passed by the back door where there was no one. Why was that relieved?
-Calm down, Jaime,” Yolanda heard his impatience and assured him, “there was an employee at the hotel hiding nearby. He managed to contact Umberto. When Umberto gave me a test, I accidentally confessed it to myself.
Her voice was trembling. She didn’t expect Umberto to make a fake fire to trick her. Yolanda was afraid of fire. That’s why her first reaction was to run away.
After hearing her words, Jaime became impatient, thinking how she could be so stupid that she was easily fooled by Umberto.
But there was no use complaining. Umberto was ready to accuse Yolanda and her family. This time, Yolanda would not be able to resist Umberto’s impact.
