Chapter 172: Meeting her granddaughter’s husband

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

Albina had just left Claire’s place and opened her phone to check some messages her colleagues had sent her.
There were too many messages and she didn’t have time to read them all, so she hurried to call Macos.
Macos told her what had just happened, then reassured her:
-Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of this matter, he won’t dare come to the office to bother you again.
Albina thought he was definitely here because of the Facebook comments about her uncle.
And her uncle’s work must have gone wrong, that’s why she let her mother come to cause trouble.
-Did the old lady leave already? -Albina asked.
-She’s long gone. After being taken out by the security guards, she must have felt she couldn’t do anything else either,” Macos looked through the window and answered her.
-It didn’t seem normal to me, how she could leave so easily, given her character. I’m afraid he’ll come to Claire’s house and cause a problem, then it won’t be good,” Albina said a little confused.
Macos would do his best to help her, but his relationship with Claire was not that close, and it would be bad if he got her in trouble.
-Mr. Murillo, I’ll stay here a while longer before going back to the company.
Albina thought it was better to stay, in case Mrs. Espina came, she could deal with her.
-I will ask the security guard about that, I will call you later -Macos answered.
-Thank you. I’m sorry, it’s my fault that I caused this problem,” Albina apologized.
Macos smiled and said:
-Everyone offered to help you, so you don’t have to apologize, just buy everyone a drink when you come back.
-Of course,” Albina said cheerfully upon hearing this.
After hanging up the phone, she stayed downstairs waiting in case her grandmother arrived.
After a few minutes, Macos called her back and said in a slightly serious voice:
-Albina, go to Grupo Santangel’s house now, the old lady is heading there, she is probably going to create problems with Mr. Santangel.
-What’s wrong, it’s obvious that she still doesn’t know that Umberto is my boyfriend, who told her -Albina said nervously.
-The security guard told me that Mrs. Espina met Lila downstairs, it must be Lila who told him.
-Shit, damn it! -Albina couldn’t contain herself and burst out in foul.
She really didn’t expect Lila to be released so quickly, and she ran into the old woman.
Albina hung up the phone and went straight to Grupo Santangel.
At the entrance of Grupo Santangel, Mrs. Espina was standing underneath the company and turned around, but did not dare to enter.
The Macos company was nothing compared to Grupo Santangel. This whole building was owned by Grupo Santangel and had a very oppressive character.
The guards at the gate were also very strict and the standing bodyguards were fierce. Mrs. Espina did not even dare to approach, it had been for more than 20 minutes, she still did not enter.
While she was hesitating, her grandson Alex called her and said in a very depressed voice:
-Grandma, my father has been suspended and is under investigation. There is a large sum of money to be paid in compensation.
Mrs. Espina was anxious to hear this, she had lived a very comfortable life these past few years. Now that her eldest son is out of work and out of money, the old days will never come back.
She instantly became more anxious and looked at the large Grupo Santangel logo, she headed for the door.
Grupo Santangel was imposing from the outside, and as president of Grupo Santangel, Umberto was definitely very rich. She was Albina’s grandmother, so Umberto as her boyfriend must be filial to her, right?
If Umberto gave them a little money, it would be enough for them to spend for a long time.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Espina felt more confident.
But when she reached the door she was stopped by the security guard.
-Who are you and what are you doing here? -the guard asked her.
-I have come to look for Umberto!
All the security guards were a bit puzzled after hearing this. They had been working here for a long time and knew that Mr. Santangel’s grandmother had passed away a long time ago, so what was this old lady doing here?
As if aware of their doubts, Mrs. Espina said with great pride:
-Just say that Albina’s grandmother came looking for Umberto, and I’m sure she’ll let me in.
The security guards heard this and knew that she was not Mr. Santangel’s grandmother, but who was Albina?
They thought Albina must not be an ordinary person, so they first told the old lady:
-Come with me to rest first, let’s go to the president’s office to check.
One of them led the old woman in the lobby while the other went to the reception desk and asked someone to call the president’s office.
The receptionist called Ruben directly.
Ruben thought at first that it was some lying old woman, then only to hear the receptionist say that it was Albina’s grandmother.
His expression immediately tightened and he hurried to say:
-Tell the old lady to wait a while, I will go and explain the situation to Mr. Santangel.
Ruben wasn’t quite sure what was going on in Albina’s family, but he knew that anything related to Albina was a big deal to Mr. Santangel, so he hurried to knock on Umberto’s office door and entered.
-Why are you in such a hurry, Santangel Group is going to close the business? -Umberto asked.
-Mr. Santangel, Albina’s grandmother is here and says she wants to see you.
Hearing these words, Umberto froze slightly, and then his eyes grew cold.
He was curious to know why this old woman had dared to come to him.
-Let her in.
Ruben nodded, but was puzzled as to why Mr. Santangel’s expression had become a bit indifferent.
He could sense that Mr. Santangel didn’t like this old lady. That meant this old lady definitely had a bad relationship with Miss Espina!
Ruben called the receptionist again and asked her to bring the old lady upstairs.
The receptionist went to the lobby and froze when she saw the old lady.
Less than five minutes had passed, but the old lady had a dessert and beverage board in front of her.
The desserts Grupo Santangel uses to entertain guests were of good quality, but no one was as brazen as the old lady.
The receptionist watched as the old lady took a box of tea and put it in her purse, an act that left her a bit speechless.
Mrs. Espina saw the look on the receptionist’s face, she said with a very brutal attitude:
-What are you looking at, it’s just a box of tea, Santangel Group is still short of this?
-I’m sorry, this way please, Mr. Santangel is waiting for you in his office.
The receptionist said, leading the way straight ahead, the old woman hurried to follow her, cursing and muttering under her breath:
-Umberto is my granddaughter-in-law, be careful, I’ll have her fire you.
Only after sending the old woman to the president’s office did the receptionist breathe a sigh of relief. She opened the work group and began to complain to her colleagues, all the while becoming more curious about Mr. Santangel’s mysterious girlfriend.
With such a strange grandmother, there was no telling what kind of person Mr. Santangel’s girlfriend was.
Mrs. Espina was still haughty and powerful before entering the office, but after meeting Umberto’s eyes, her aura was greatly reduced.
“This president has a lot of swagger.”
Mrs. Espina murmured in her heart, and with a pleasant smile on her face, she greeted:
-Granddaughter-in-law….
