Alex didn’t believe what he saw, rubbing his eyes fiercely with his dirty hands.
The sunlight was so strong that in his eyes they couldn’t see anything. As he had been working here since morning, his hands were full of sands, some of which got into his eyes making them saturated with tears.
When the sands came out of his eyes, he could see the front.
Among the crowd was Albina.
All of them she knew well, especially Augustine and his moneylenders.
Among the men in black suits, Albina, who was wearing soft colored clothes, looked beautiful.
Alex was stunned for a long time until he heard his father’s impatient voice:
-Alex, what are you doing? Don’t let them see that you’re being lazy.
But Alex didn’t react with his words, he grabbed him by the arm suddenly and his voice was startled:
-Look! It’s her, Albina!
Ramon was stunned for a moment when he saw Albina.
Suddenly, all the resentment that had built up over the past few days exploded. Ramon unconsciously threw the tools in his hand and ran to Albina.
-Easy, Dad,” Alex hurriedly followed him, trying to hold him.
He couldn’t fight Albina, who was surrounded by her guards. If he did, he would face a bloody fight.
But what Alex didn’t expect was that instead of fighting Albina, her father suddenly knelt down in front of her.
Ignoring the sharp gravel and sand on the ground, Ramon looked at her hopefully,
-Albina, are you here to meet us? You don’t know what we have suffered.
Alex was stunned.
But Alex’s expression did not catch his father’s attention. Ramon held out his palm, saying:
-Look.
His hands were covered with thick calluses. Due to the hard work during these days, his hands were severely blistered.
At this time, the palms of his hands were stinging, which looked very rough.
Ramon felt he had suffered all the pains of his life.
His face was much browner, which made him aged much more than before.
Albina looked at his palm coolly, listening to his swearing.
-Albina, as long as you save us, I swear to you that I will make up for her father’s misfortune and confess all my faults to God.
Before he could finish the words, he heard a voice of laughter.
Ramon raised his head, seeing that everyone was making fun of him.
Especially one of the handsome young men looked at him with hatred in his eyes.
-What are you laughing at? My niece is rich and will pay all my debts. I can leave now and I’m not obliged to work here, okay?
Looking at Agustin and crying very hard, Ramon was already mad.
At first, he and Alex still wanted to escape, but after several attempts and being shafted many times, they were already desperate.
As long as they had the idea of running away, what awaited them would be more hard work.
Ramon and Alex thought about ending their lives, but they were afraid of death. Therefore, they had to persist until all their debts were paid.
Albina’s arrival surprised Ramon and gave him infinite hope.
He did not know why Albina came here, but as long as he could persuade her to lend a hand and get them out, Ramon would do whatever Albina wanted.
Ramon could no longer stay in this hell.
-Albina, please save us. If you do, I’ll do anything you want. How about I kneel in front of your father’s grave for the rest of my life? I will confess my guilt every day. If you are not satisfied, you can also send us to prison.
Even in prison I would not work every day as I had done.
Ramon was crying very hard.
But his tears could not convince Albina, who showed no expression on her face. Kevin laughed coldly:
-Crocodile tears!
Although he looked miserable, everyone knew that he would totally change his attitude when he came out.
After a moment, Albina spoke. With a slightly cold smile, she said softly:
-Uncle, it wasn’t easy to send you here, how could I save you, don’t I have anything to do?
Ramon was stunned when he heard this, kneeling on the ground.
Instead, Alex bravely rushed over and dragged his father off the ground:
-Dad, don’t beg her. It was her, it was all her.
He looked at Albina with hate-filled eyes,
-The reason I gambled again is because I assumed Albina would help me, so I applied for a loan. Her friendship made me have the illusion that she would pay the debt for me, so I lost my mind and took out so many loans.
Ramon was stunned, looking at Alex:
-How stupid! Why did you have confidence in her?
-Why is it impossible? -said Alex, indicating him to look at the people next to Albina: “If it wasn’t her, why is she here? She must have come to make fun of us.
After all, Alex was younger and stronger than his father, so hard work had not yet defeated him. What happened seemed strange to him. When Albina came with Agustin, he understood that it was all Albina’s trap.
Ramon went blank when he saw that what his son said was reasonable.
Albina raised her head, smiling:
-What an analysis. Yes, it was all my trap. I feel good to see you guys so bad.
Kevin also scoffed:
-Looks like you don’t have enough work, so you still have time to think.
As soon as he finished speaking, the mine manager said:
-Let’s arrange more work for Alex tomorrow.
Ramon burst out when he heard this. His face flushed:
-Bitch!
He looked at Albina with a grim expression, as if he was going to devour her alive.
Alex was also angry, running to his father to beat her.
But they forgot the people next to Augustine.
About to approach Albina, Ramon and Alex were pinned to the ground. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not get up.
Kevin protected Albina with his arms, looking attentively at the two. Seeing that all was well, he released her.
Albina looked at the two dissatisfied people with cold eyes. Seeing the hatred in their eyes, she sneered:
-What right do you have to hate me? What you did was far worse. You should have kept that in mind when you killed my father.
Alex replied in a voice full of fierce hatred:
-Even though we broke the brake of the car, it was Yolanda who killed your father. What has this got to do with us?
Albina looked coldly at Alex:
-Yolanda is the murderer, but you are her accomplices. If the brake on my dad’s car was right, he wouldn’t hit Yolanda.
Ramon frowned when he heard this and suddenly scoffed:
-In the end, you’re taking revenge on your father, but you wouldn’t need to throw yourself into trouble, since you’re his biological daughter.
-What?
Albina was surprised when she heard that, and so was Kevin.
