Olivia looked at Sergio, then recovered from her thoughts and explained:
-Dad, I didn’t hear your phone call. I just came downstairs.
Sergio didn’t speak and was about to leave on a crutch.
Olivia frowned and was embarrassed. But finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and asked Sergio:
-Dad, why do you accept that Umberto and Albina are together? I admit that she has certain advantages and she looks good. But there are smarter, more beautiful and capable people than her. Umberto may have more options, why does he have to choose her?
Sergio finally turned his head and looked at her after hearing what she said. Seeing her face full of anger and dissatisfaction, he suddenly said:
-Why? You know he has so many choices, but he only likes her. Olivia, I know you don’t like Albina, but I can guarantee you that if you ruin their relationship, you will never have a daughter-in-law in your life, if you don’t believe it, you can try.
Olivia really couldn’t refute this.
Sergio walked cheerfully towards the door with a cane, sighing.
-Umberto’s view is much better than yours. Yolanda you chose is full of lies and has lied to us for so many years, which shows that her character is not good at all.
This sentence hit Olivia’s sore spot again, she was angry and distressed.
After the Santangel Group issued that statement, she knew Yolanda was lying to them. Umberto asked someone to make the statement public. Obviously, the facts had been fully confirmed before he did so.
Yolanda really wasn’t a good girl, not only did she have a bad personality, she acted viciously, the only advantage now was her family background.
In the past, Olivia could rely on Yolanda’s kindness towards Umberto to force him to accept Yolanda, but now the only bargaining chip was gone and there was no other girl who could win Umberto’s attention.
Could it be that he could only accept Albina as his daughter-in-law?
When she thought of how Albina had scolded her earlier, she panicked. If Albina really became daughter-in-law, according to Umberto’s love for her, Sergio’s preference, and Daniel obeyed Sergio in everything, then she would be completely helpless at home.
Therefore, he was not to allow Albina to become his daughter-in-law, otherwise, she would never have a good life in the future.

Albina did not know that Olivia thought so much. She kept watching the news on the Internet. After the video was posted, netizens changed their attitude and began to question the person who first posted the video.
Eventually the video was deleted.
After Jaime received the call, his face was grim:
-You can’t even get this trivial thing right, what’s the point of me hiring you?
Sir, I didn’t expect there to be a follow-up video. That man just sent me this video. I can’t contact him now, he took the money and ran away. I have no other way.
-Why didn’t you check later? Now you make excuses when things go wrong.
Jaime was angry and his face was horrible. Not only did it have little impact on Albina now, but it would be even harder to destroy Albina’s reputation in the future.
Jaime was even angrier when he looked at Facebook, which had been banned. He spent a lot of money to maintain this account and now it had been permanently banned because of a video.
But fortunately, there was no trace of the Seco Family on this account, even Umberto could not find out that it was him who was secretly slandering Albina, and he would just blame the Carballal Family for everything.
After all, now the Carballal Family was the most suspicious.
Yolanda couldn’t understand it all either. She asked someone from the Espina Family to bother Albina in the morning. Why didn’t Umberto do anything to the Espina Family? Didn’t he love Albina more, why didn’t he help her?
If Umberto were to help Albina, the pressure on the Carballal Family would be much less, but he didn’t, instead he concentrated more on fighting the Carballal Family.
Julio was very upset, and because he was in a hurry, several blisters appeared in his mouth in just a few hours.
Since the morning, they had to withdraw from the project with the Santangel Family, even owed to pay damages. Now that the working capital of the company was running out, and they finally cut the connection with the Santangel Family. He thought there was no danger for the time being.
However, partners in other projects suddenly began to terminate their contracts with the Carballal Family due to various problems.
In the past, they did not mind some minor quality problems, but when it was the most difficult time for the Carballal Family, those people started to look for problems and started to find fault with the quality defects.
Julio was very upset and tried everything he could, but he could not convince them. After being scolded, the phone hung up again. He leaned his forehead and frowned.
Umberto really was a mad dog. If he couldn’t handle these things well, the Carballal Family would soon collapse.
At this moment, Yolanda entered his office. Julio was angry and after seeing her, he grabbed the ornament directly and threw it at her.
Fortunately, Yolanda avoided him, and when she saw the broken glass ornament behind her, she was very disappointed and looked at her father in disbelief.
-What are you doing? Do you want to kill me?
When Julio threw the ornament away, she still felt a little guilty, but when she saw the look on his face, her anger grew a little more.
-If you weren’t my daughter, I would have killed you a long time ago.
This sentence disappointed Yolanda even more, she frowned and looked at him stubbornly.
-You don’t take me as your daughter at all, you only care about your company. You broke off my engagement with Umberto for the sake of the business, otherwise I would have married him a long time ago.
Julio was so angry with her words that he looked at her indifferently.
-Do you think you could really marry Umberto if I didn’t dissolve the engagement? Why are you so naive? Even without me, Umberto would force you to break off the engagement. There was no relationship between you. This marriage contract was maintained by his lies.
Now that lie had been discovered.
Although Yolanda was not convinced, she knew that what her father said was correct. Even if the marriage contract was not dissolved, Umberto would definitely drag it out and not marry.
She lowered her head and did not speak, Julio looked at her and felt very upset.
-Things have now gone further, and there is no one to help us at the moment. Didn’t you say you could help me divert Umberto’s attention? Why is there no movement?
When he mentioned this, Yolanda felt annoyed.
-I asked someone to bother Albina. I thought Umberto would help Albina, so he couldn’t concentrate on fighting us, but he didn’t help Albina, it seemed he didn’t love her.
-I told you before that a man like Umberto would never really love a woman, so I told you not to worry too much, let alone bother Albina. But you keep doing stupid things one after another, so you make Umberto angry step by step.
If it wasn’t for Yolanda, things wouldn’t have turned into such a bad situation.
Yolanda was so scolded that she couldn’t lift her head and said in a low voice:
-Daddy, now is not the time to scold me. We must find an assistant now and join forces to deal with Umberto, otherwise we will definitely not last until the end of this month.
-Umberto has now publicly split the boundaries with us, other families have also expressed their attitude. We have angered many people before. I’m afraid no one dares to help us now.
How could Julio not know about this? But the actual problem was that no one was willing to help them. If the Carballal Family had no helper, they could only wait to die.
-How about the Seco Family? -asked Yolanda.
Julio was stunned for a moment and said:
-Jaime doesn’t get along with Umberto, but his grandfather decides everything. If he doesn’t agree, Jaime won’t dare to help us.
Jaime had told this to Yolanda, but she thought he refused to help because they didn’t have enough benefits.
-Dad, we took a part of the property to make a deal with the Seco Family. I will go get Jaime, he will definitely agree.
