-Well,” seeing that he obediently agreed, Grandpa sighed with relief.
Although James did something wrong, in the face of these three almost harsh conditions, he could agree, which showed that he was a boy who could take the overall situation into consideration.
-Get up,” Grandfather spoke, and Jaime rose trembling from the floor.
Because he knelt for too long, his legs were trembling. But he did not speak, he stood in front of Grandfather with his head bowed and continued to listen to Grandfather’s teachings.
When Grandfather saw him like this, he said two more sentences.
-I knew that you and Umberto have many conflicts. But the murder attack is too much. You can use business methods, even if they were despicable. There are many cruel people in business and Umberto often does this. Worse, you can’t do something that would directly threaten his life.
Especially Umberto was the only son of the Santangel family.
He was the most important young man in the Santangel family. Jaime’s action was like declaring war on the Santangel family. Fortunately, Umberto was fine, so this time, Mr. Santangel just warned him and used these three harsh conditions to teach Jaime a lesson.
-Grandfather, I see it. I won’t do this nonsense in the future,” Jaime lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice.
Otherwise he would design a perfect plan so that the Santangel family could not find any evidence.
Alfredo did not notice Jaime’s thoughts and finally remembered:
-The Santangel family has evidence of his assassination attempt on their hands. As long as you don’t do this kind of thing, they won’t get this evidence out.
This can also be considered as a restriction for Jaime.
Jaime nodded:
-I see.
-Well, go back to the room to change your clothes. Make arrangements and go to the Santangel family to apologize,” the grandfather waved it off, his face a little tired.
He was already old, with little energy. He was forced to get up today and didn’t get enough sleep. After so many things that happened, Mr. Seco was a little sleepy.
-The company will issue a statement about the breakup with the Carballal family at a later date. You know that Carballal girl well, so let her know-after Grandpa finished speaking, he paused, frowning. -Don’t deal with this girl in the future.
He had thought she was good and gave enough benefits to the Carballal family before, so he helped her. Now that such a thing happened, showing that this girl was not clear either, and was not a kind person. It would be better to let Jaime get less involved with her, so as not to bring big problems in the future.
Jaime nodded with difficulty.
The Carballal Group, which was originally so close to him, was about to get into his hand, but now he lost it completely.
Jaime was irritable and with pity in his heart, seeing that Grandpa told him to leave, he left the studio and went to his room.
He showered, changed his clothes and organized the business of apologizing this afternoon.
At the thought of apologizing to Umberto, Jaime felt nauseous for a while, full of disgust.
Yolanda did not know what was going to happen with the company, so she went back to the company to look for her father and discovered that her father was not at the company.
She asked her father’s secretary, but got no information. Even his personal secretary did not know where he was going.
Yolanda frowned, feeling uneasy. The company was in a pretty difficult situation, did her dad still have time to take care of other things? Where was he? Did he not even have a sense of crisis and responsibility?
She called her mother and asked:
-Mom, is Dad home? He’s not at the company. I have something to say.
-Your father? -Her mother’s voice was full of resentment, “Your father is not at home. He hasn’t been home for several days. I thought he was at the company.
During this period of time, the company’s situation was not good. Yolanda’s father did not return, his wife always thought he was concentrating on work and did not dare to ask him. But the phone call from her daughter stunned her.
He wasn’t at the company, he wasn’t at home either, where did he go?
-Did she call him? -asked her mother.
Yolanda frowned and complained:
-I’ve called many times, but nobody answered, I don’t know what he’s doing! When he comes back, you ask him to come to the company to pick me up.
After she finished talking, she hung up the phone.
Yolanda’s mother held the phone tightly and had a bad feeling in her heart. Julio was not at the company or at home and had disappeared for several days. Was he at some woman’s house?
She quickly called her husband, but he hung up, called back and his phone was off.
This time, Yolanda’s mother was completely terrified, she felt that things were out of her control. Julio definitely had something to hide.
Right now, Julio was in Romina’s tender arms.
Since he almost ran her over with his car last time, Julio went to be with her secretly at first.
But Romina whether in appearance, dress or character and her behavior, Julio liked them very much.
Because of the company’s business, he was irritable. But when he was with Romina, he could always get maximum comfort and relaxation.
Eventually, he did not even return to the company and neither to his home and was with Romina almost every day.
Romina came over with the tea, just in time she saw him hang up the phone.
-Is this your wife’s call? -she asked quietly, her voice almost inaudible.
Julio smiled awkwardly at her and quickly pulled her close to comfort her:
-No, it’s just an unimportant person. It’s quite annoying.
-Don’t lie. I read the screen,” she raised her eyes and looked at Julio with teary eyes. It’s my fault, I know you have a wife. I’m still with you. I’m not a good woman, and I feel sad when I think about it.
With her soft and pitiful look, Mr. Carballal almost drowned by her tenderness, and quickly took her in his arms and convinced her:
-Romina, no one says you are not a good woman. You are the best in the world in my heart. No one can compare with you. You are kind and virtuous, you keep the house in good order and let me relax as soon as I come back here. You are better than anyone else.
Romina lowered her head to hide the sarcasm in her eyes, her voice was weak:
-But no matter how good I am, I’m still the third person in your marriage. I destroyed your family, you’ve been staying with me, how about your wife and daughter?
When Julio thought about his wife and Yolanda, he felt irritated.
These two people always pressured him. Pressures from the company, from the family, there were so many trivial things every day. He was bored to death and exhausted.
-They don’t need me.
Yolanda is already an adult and his relationship with his wife is not very good. Besides, they would be fine with money. As long as they have money and the company, it doesn’t matter if he’s around. But Romina needs him.
-How is it possible that your wife and daughter don’t need you? -Romina lowered her eyes. “Our relationship can’t be hidden for long. You don’t come home every day, your wife and daughter will soon know of my existence.
She added with her body trembling:
-Besides, your daughter is not a mild-mannered character. I have seen her on television. She is now in power in your company. If she knew of my existence, I’m afraid….
Her eyes were moist and she looked at Julio with pity.
Thinking about Yolanda’s character, Julio was tense:
-Don’t worry, Yolanda dare not look for trouble for you, I have the evidence of her crime. The family helped her deal with a big problem four years ago. With this alone, she dare not do anything against me.
When Romina heard this, she closed her hands.
A big problem four years ago. This should be what Mr. Santangel asked her to investigate.
Romina’s eyes twitched and an idea occurred to her: she should let Mr. Carballal tell her what happened four years ago willingly. Only with that, she could successfully complete the task the president assigned her. As long as Mr. Santangel obtained the secret, she could deal with the Carballal Group with peace of mind and settle Julio completely. And she would not have to serve this disgusting person.
Even though Romina accepted this job, she looked down on this man who left his wife. After all this with Julio, she never wanted to find a husband in her life.
Romina told Julio:
-I don’t want to cook today. Let’s go out. Last time I saw a very good restaurant.
She said the address of the restaurant, and Julio was stunned for a moment, it seemed to be close to the company.
He hesitated for a moment, a little scared of being seen by people from his company and pro Yolanda. But seeing Romina’s expectant eyes, he finally nodded and agreed.
