Chapter 171: Looking for her boyfriend

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

Everyone was silent and Macos looked at her strangely.
Seeing his reaction and thinking he was right, Mrs. Espina went on to say:
-No wonder you’re giving me a hard time, it’s for the sake of your own mistress.
-Shut up! -Macos said angrily. A bad guy sees everything bad.
Then he pointed to the people around him:
-Everyone is defending Albina, are you going to say that everyone is having an affair with her?
The others also thought their boss was right. After all, they were together every day and they all knew each other very well, so they all thought it was this old woman who was talking nonsense here.
-How can you be so rude and slander our boss and colleague?
-Albina is your granddaughter, how can you say something like that?
-If I had this kind of grandmother, I would have to cut off my relationship with my family.
Mrs. Espina felt a little uncomfortable seeing them talking like that, fearing that one of them would come up and hit her regardless, and how would she be able to resist.
At that moment, a group of people in security uniforms rushed up behind a design department employee.
-Who’s causing trouble here!
Ms. Espina saw them coming and was quick to say:
-They are bullying me, you have to help me!
Macos and the employees were speechless….
This old lady was really good at distorting the facts.
The security guard was frozen and asked Macos:
-Mr. Murillo, what’s going on?
-This old woman has sneaked into our company, making a lot of noise and disturbing the normal order of our office, if she doesn’t come, I will call the police -Macos said.
Mrs. Espina heard him tell her to call the police and felt so scared that she hid behind the security guard and said:
-He is talking nonsense, it is obvious that he directed his staff to intimidate me, a poor old lady.
When she said that, the employees couldn’t help but laugh:
-Poor old lady, she really dares to say that. I have recorded what just happened, and if I post it on the Internet, it will surely become famous.
When Mrs. Espina heard this, she was even more frightened because her eldest son was about to lose his job for this kind of thing.
-If you post this on the Internet, I’ll sue you for infringing my portrait rights.
-Do you know that? -Macos scoffed -Don’t worry about that, I can pay for it, but don’t forget Albina’s reputation on the Internet now. If netizens know she has relatives like you, do you think her fans will leave you alone?
Ms. Espina’s body shuddered, staring at him. Her dry, thin face was even uglier like an old demon woman.
Macos felt uncomfortable seeing her appearance and said directly to the security guard:
-Cast her out, we still have work to do. This old woman wasted a lot of our time.
Hearing this, the security guard took the old woman out directly, whether he wanted to or not.
After that, the head of security, seeing her age, reminded her:
-You better not do that again. Mr. Murillo has a good temper, so he didn’t punish you too much, but if you make him really angry, you will have serious consequences.
Remembering Macos’ manner, Mrs. Espina did not dare to barge in again.
She stormed out cursing, but because she hadn’t looked straight ahead, she collided directly with a woman.
Ms. Espina was knocked straight to the ground.
Before she could say anything, she saw that the woman was looking at her with boredom:
-Where did you come from, old woman? If you hurt me, can you pay?
This was something Mrs. Thorn had just said to Macos, and she herself had not expected to be treated this way and froze.
This woman was tall and thin, quite pretty. She wore very bright and fashionable clothes, but her eyes were mean and hostile, and she looked like a formidable woman.
After scolding the old woman, the woman stood at the entrance of the building and looked upstairs not knowing what she was thinking.
Mrs. Thorn saw that people were not to be messed with, so she didn’t dare go upstairs to argue with her.
But her mouth was very unconcerned whispering curses:
-Today’s young people are so rude… and that bitch…..
Lila heard Albina’s name without realizing it, she hurried to say to Mrs. Thorn:
-Wait!
Mrs. Espina was so scared when she saw Lila’s appearance and thought she was going to get in trouble with her, she quickly backed up and said:
-What are you doing, I’m telling you here is security, if you dare make a move on me, I’m going to….
Seeing her reaction, Lila also realized that her expression was too horrible, so she was quick to smile:
-You came for Albina, who are you to her?
-I am her grandmother, who are you? -Mrs. Espina saw that Lila knew Albina’s name and looked at her suspiciously.
-I’m a colleague of hers, but we don’t get along. I’m sure she hasn’t mentioned me in front of you, has she? -Lila said.
The old woman was full of displeasure when she called Albina a moment ago, so Lila guessed that she was looking for trouble with Albina and immediately said that she and Albina were not on good terms.
The old woman bought it and treated her much better. The enemy of an enemy is a friend, the old woman was convinced of that.
She immediately told Lila what she had just encountered in the company and grumbled:
-What kind of people are the bosses and employees of your company…?
Only when he said this did he remember that the woman in front of him was also from that company and stopped talking.
Lila heard her say that Macos had been defending Albina, she was so angry that her nails dug into her hand, she couldn’t even feel the pain anymore.
-They said Albina went to look for someone… who knows if it’s true or not, she must be looking at my age and trying to trick me to prevent me from finding her -Mrs. Thorn muttered.
Lila knew she was talking about Claire, but she also didn’t know where she was now and she couldn’t help the old woman to find Albina.
After a moment’s thought, she said mysteriously to Mrs. Espina:
-If you can’t find Albina, you can go find her boyfriend!
-Her boyfriend? -Mrs. Thorn froze for a moment- Isn’t she adopted by her boss?
-Of course not! -Lila’s voice was sharp and high, and after she said it she realized she had exaggerated and coughed slightly. Her boyfriend is very powerful, you know, Santangel Group? Her boyfriend is Umberto, the president of Grupo Santangel.
-Really? -Mrs. Espina took a deep breath, she didn’t like to play with the phone, but she watched TV every day, of course she knew about that president of Grupo Santangel.
Having seen him on TV before, she herself had come to praise this young man for being handsome and promising.
Little did she know that he was actually Albina’s boyfriend.
And then she thought how could her granddaughter be so lucky, not only with a pretty face, but that she had landed such an excellent man.
-I know where Grupo Santangel’s address is, do you want to go there? -asked Lila.
-Of course! -Mrs. Espina thought about it for a while and nodded.
Lila was delighted and took the initiative to say:
-I’ll call a cab for you.
Umberto was a very proud man, if his girlfriend’s grandmother made a scene in his company and caused bad publicity, he would definitely be angry with Albina.
Lila wanted to see if Albina could still be so arrogant if Umberto abandoned her.
