Mario looked at the pale-faced woman in front of him whose guilty feeling became more and more intense.
Back then, if he had tried to look for Albina, maybe the house would not have been left in the hands of the Espina Family members.
Seeing that she was eager to get the house back for herself, Mario said at once:
-How can I help you?
Albina took one look at Mario and could understand his feelings, so she said directly upon seeing that he offered to help:
-After I get the house back, I hope you can publish to everyone the agreement my father made in the past, so that I can get it more justifiably.
Albina had no desire to mess with the Espina’s again after getting her father’s house.
Mario was stunned for a while when he saw the firmness in her face and the anger in her eyes.
Albina was totally different than her father. Juan was gentle and elegant with softness and kindness, while Albina looked charming, but she acted decisively and had a strong desire for revenge.
Mario already knew that the means of recovering the house could not come to light at all and the process could be very cruel.
Albina saw that he stared at her as if he was thinking, she smiled:
-Mr. Martinez, do you have anything else, why are you looking at me like that?
Mario suddenly handed the business card to Albina:
-Miss Espina, this is my card. Now my law firm still has some fame. If you have any needs from now on, you can contact me and I will do my best.
Albina did not expect him to behave like this. When Mario sat across from her at first, she had noticed that he was a bit indifferent and didn’t even want to introduce himself and talked about it directly.
When confronted with his kindness, Albina was not foolish enough to turn him down. In general, a good lawyer could play a very important role. At first Mario had some prejudices against her, but then he noticed that she has a very strong personal ability.
She took the card, put it away and smiled at him:
-If I need anything in the future, I will definitely contact with him.
***
When she left the coffee shop, Albina called Kevin.
Kevin answered the phone in a second and his first sentence was a question:
-Albina, how’s it going? Do you have a chance to get the house back?
Recently when she was in the coffee shop, Albina still had some scruples and didn’t show her emotions too obviously. But when confronted by Kevin, she didn’t hide at all and told him with a strong displeasure in her voice.
-The people of the Espina Family forged my signature and made an agreement about the transfer of the house. Possibly now they have gotten the house in a perfectly justifiable way.
Kevin gave a deep sigh and his voice became serious:
-That’s too bad. If the house is in their hands, with their situation so difficult now, they won’t take the initiative to return the house to you. Even if they return it to you, they will definitely ask for something more valuable than the house.
The Espina Family vampires were shrewd and would never make a deal by losing money.
-Then, I don’t expect them to take the initiative to return the house to me.
If the members of the Espina Family had a conscience, they would not have occupied the property and expelled her and her mother after her father’s death.
-Don’t you want to take back the house? -Kevin asked carefully in a very low voice, as if he were worried about irritating her.
Albina scoffed:
-How can it be, how can I give my parents’ house to the beasts? I have to recapture the house.
Kevin was silent for a while and then spoke:
-What can I support you with?
His voice was firm. What he said was not like a superficial question of whether he needed help, but how to help. Albina was a little moved:
-Of course I do -Her eyes narrowed-, Kevin, do you know any loan sharks who act ruthless but also reasonable?
When Albina asked this, Kevin was startled and paused without speaking for a long time.
-Kevin, don’t you know him?
Albina consulted him again while Kevin suddenly reacted:
-I don’t. Albina, do you want to ask for usury to buy their house? -then he shook his head by himself before Albina answered- -No, you can’t do it, Albina.
-No, Kevin, you misunderstood me,” Albina interrupted him at once.
How could she think of this? Clearly she was not going to do an unprofitable business to benefit the members of the Espina Family easily.
Albina spoke up:
-You have found out that Alex gambles, haven’t you? I think we can start with this.
She only mentioned it a little and Kevin reacted immediately. After careful thought, he felt it was actually feasible:
-Sounds like a good idea to me.
Seeing that he agreed with her, Albina said:
-Kevin, don’t you think the idea is too much? Be that as it may, they are my relatives, as well as my father’s relatives.
They were her father’s mother and brother. If this matter happened to her, with her character, she would have accepted her fate, doing nothing to her mother and brother.
Kevin said:
-Although it is not good to talk about your father, I think he was too kind. Honest men are always bullied. Your father was treated badly like that by the Espina’s all his life, because he was too kind. Albina, you are very good like that, you are strong.
They had done so many bad things, and someone should appear to punish them, otherwise, they would never reflect on their mistakes in their whole life.
After hearing what he said, Albina felt much better and was completely unburdened.
The people of the Thorn Family owed her too much, and with her mother’s life, there was a great debt of blood between them and her, so she was not going to let the beasts go.
Kevin continued:
-Albina, I know someone who matches your claim. He is a person who came up from below, does things ruthlessly, but he has rules and does not cause harm to others. I think you can ask him for a favor.
Albina’s eyes lit up:
-Kevin, introduce him to me, please.
Hearing her excited voice, he appeased her at once:
-Don’t be in a hurry. As you know, he’s just out of town and I guess he’ll be back two days later.
He didn’t say it very clearly, but Albina understood the nature of that kind of work.
-It’s okay, Kevin. When he comes back, you can introduce him to me,” Albina thought for a while and continued, “Kevin, send me the information about the corruption and bribery of my older uncle.
She had to cut off Alex’s path of retreat.
Kevin smiled slightly:
-No need. Let me do it. Your uncle has something involved with an entertainment company. I’m going to ask my people to post it on an account to give him more exposure.
-Then, first I thank you for my uncle. He must be very happy to become famous, even though he is getting old.
Hearing her teasing, Kevin couldn’t help but smile:
-Really, I have doubts about how your father raised you, because you don’t have the same personality as he did.
Albina knew her father’s character very clearly. Listening to him, she replied:
-Maybe I take after my mother.
***
The members of the Espina Family behaved as usual in the evening. Alex was forbidden to leave the house because he was interested in gambling. Every day he stayed at home with his cell phone without doing anything else.
Today he opened Facebook as in general, read the trend and suddenly discovered the name of his father’s company. His finger seemed to have its own consciousness and he clicked unconsciously.
However, he was not interested in the company. He was about to withdraw and passed an unintentional glance, but when he saw the content, he froze and gaped. He was so stunned for a long time without responding.
It wasn’t until Grandma came out of the bathroom and the sound of the door closing that Alex finally regained his wits. He quickly got up from the couch and ran straight to his father’s room.
-Dad!
