Sergio’s words made Alfredo feel more and more embarrassed.
-Yolanda is a cunning girl and has a bad temper, but it is absolutely impossible for her to have proposed this idea. She has no guts to attack Umberto.
Olivia spoke immediately:
-Yolanda I know well. Yolanda’s love for our Umberto is true. Even if she is no longer with my son, she will not become so frantic.
When he said the word “frantic,” he gave Jaime’s Grandfather a look.
Alfredo was angry, but he still held it in.
Sergio sipped his tea slowly, moistened his throat, looked at Jaime’s grandfather and continued:
-On the contrary, the strength of your family and ours are not very different, that’s why Jaime can be bolder. He’s probably thinking that even if he kills Umberto, with your backing, we can’t do anything.
As soon as Alfredo heard these words, his face was full of shame. He went blank at the words of Umberto’s relatives. Their evidence and analysis were irrefutable.
Alfredo finally lowered his head in despair, and the seriousness on his face disappeared:
-What do you want?
Sergio answered directly:
-It is very simple. First, now you declare immediately that you have nothing to do with Yolanda’s family and that you will not deal with her affairs.
Alfredo’s first reaction was that Umberto’s family was going to take action against Yolanda.
He nodded:
-Okay.
After Alfredo nodded, Sergio continued:
-Second, you must take Jaime immediately back to apologize to us sincerely. The process must be recorded and published in….
Sergio forgot something and looked at his daughter-in-law.
Olivia immediately remembered:
-On the company’s Twitter feed.
-Yes,” Sergio nodded, “no problems?
The muscles in Jaime’s grandfather’s face pulsed. If he did what Sergio asked, Jaime’s guilt would be declared to the public, and his fame would be ruined.
Sergio seemed to realize what he was thinking and said with a smile:
-They don’t have to say what he did, but the most important thing is the apology. I think that after a couple of weeks this matter will disappear from the Internet. At that time, no one will remember Jaime. What we want is just an apology.
At that moment, Alfredo could do nothing but nod.
Sergio was very pleased:
-Third…
-What? -Alfredo looked at him in surprise, “Why do you have so many conditions?
Sergio looked at him coldly:
-Umberto and Albina almost died at the hands of your grandson, do you think this enough?
Alfredo took a deep breath and indicated him to continue.
Sergio added:
-Third, after I apologize, Jaime will be sent to another branch that is not in Sogen City and will not be allowed to accept group business for the last two years.
-That can’t be!
Alfredo flatly refused. Jaime was his only grandson, who would be the heir to the family. How could he not take charge of group affairs? He also planned to hand over the company to him in the last two years. Therefore, that moment was the key period for him.
Sergio also assumed that he would not nod:
-Your health is fine, I think you will manage the company very well. Besides, two years are short.
Alfredo took a deep breath and asked:
-Why do you require that of me? You know I want to hand over the company to my grandson.
Sergio shook his hands and sighed:
-Why are you so suspicious? You haven’t changed a bit since you were young. I just thought my grandson had just experienced this catastrophe. If he sees Jaime often, he will recall those bad memories, he will be tormented.
-Yes, what Jaime has done has caused a trauma to my son, it is more serious than the physical injury,” said Mrs. Santangel.
When Jaime’s grandfather heard this, he did not know what to say.
Trauma? Umberto? How could it be! Although he didn’t want to admit it, he knew that Umberto was the best of his generation. This boy never lacked intelligence and ability. Jaime would be no crueler than he. How could he have a trauma? Even if a gun was pointed at him and the bullet grazed his face, he would have no trauma.
But seeing the three people in front of him, Alfredo could not say anything.
Seeing their expression, Sergio continued:
-I don’t think it’s wrong to send Jaime to the subsidiary company. Children can’t grow up with adults. Maybe he will grow up faster running the company out of Sogen City.
Jaime’s grandfather was angry:
-Why don’t you send Umberto to another city?
-Hey, Umberto didn’t make a mistake, why would he leave here?
Alfredo finally gave up:
-Okay.
-That’s right! -As he came to an end, Sergio smiled and took a sip of tea. We came here to give you a chance. After all, we can’t forget about our friendship. Jaime is ruthless, but we are understanding.
Jaime’s grandfather felt he had never suffered this kind of humiliation in his life.
-We didn’t sleep last night. We have to go,” Sergio yawned.
As he walked toward the door, Sergio turned his head and smiled:
-Don’t forget to tell Jaime not to come too early, we have to rest well to accept his apology.
And then he left quietly with the support of his son and daughter-in-law.
As soon as the door closed, Jaime’s grandfather could not contain himself and threw the cup away. He was totally defeated by Umberto’s family, which he had never suffered before. It was a humiliation for him.
-Bring Jaime to me, at once!
