Yolanda waited at the company for a long time, but neither her father nor his call came. She only saw the statement that Grupo Seco abandoned cooperation with Grupo Carballal.
Before, there was no public statement saying that Grupo Carballal was supported by Grupo Seco, but there was an indication of the friendly relations of both companies. Now, this statement made it clear that both companies had nothing to do with each other and had no business dealings.
It was obvious that Grupo Seco did not want to be the sponsor of Grupo Carballal.
The people in the public relations department panicked, they could not find Mr. Carballal, so they found Yolanda and asked her opinions.
Previously, under the guidance of Grupo Santangel, the company almost went bankrupt. It gave up many interests, obtained the support of Grupo Seco and escaped through danger. But now, the Seco Group backed out and did not even want to return the property formerly owned by the Carballal Group.
This was simply a huge disadvantage for her company.
Yolanda looked at the anxious PR manager, her mind went blank. But now she was the only one who could make the decision in the company with her father’s absence. She could not panic.
-Don’t do anything, I’ll ask the Seco Family to find out what happened!
She said and called Jaime directly.
Jaime knew that Yolanda would call him after the company issued the statement. After connecting the phone, he heard her anxious roar.
-Jaime, what’s going on, has she made a mistake? Why did your company suddenly issue a statement? We reached a consensus and his grandfather also agreed?
-Yolanda -Jaime interrupted her and continued-, This is an order issued by my grandfather, there is no mistake.
-What? -Yolanda was astonished, her face full of astonishment, “How is it possible? We have granted you so many benefits and your grandfather clearly agreed, what the hell is going on?
Jaime lowered his head, his warm face was somber and looked particularly frightening:
-The Santangel family already knew we tried to kill Umberto. They obtained the key evidence and went straight to the Seco Family to give Umberto and Albina justice. This is one of the conditions proposed by the Santangel family.
Yolanda’s face was pale, she took two steps back and almost fell to the ground. Her voice sounded uneasy:
-Why? How could it be? How could they get the evidence? I don’t remember where we made mistakes.
-Do you still remember that cave? -Jaime said suddenly, “The Santangel family pulled out the recording. It was the conversation between you and me when you were looking for Umberto. You must have been hiding in that cave at that time.
After Jaime finished speaking, Yolanda’s eyes suddenly opened:
-There was no one in that cave?
Before she finished speaking, she thought at that moment, her face full of remorse:
-You shouldn’t have stopped me, I was almost discovering them.
-Yolanda, the matter is a foregone conclusion and there is no way to change it. I also have to pay the price -Jaime said the other conditions he had promised.
Yolanda listened to his words with trembling lips, unable to say a word.
The conditions Jaime agreed to were quite cruel, almost leading him to a dead end. Two years would mean great dangers.
-Yolanda, I have nothing to say. I can no longer help you. The Carballal Group… from now on, it’s up to you,” Jaime finished patiently and was about to hang up the phone when Yolanda stopped him.
-Jaime, then we, what will happen to our relationship?
This was what mattered most to Yolanda, except for the Carballal Group. She thought she could survive this dilemma, win Jaime’s heart and win Jaime’s grandfather’s permission, so she could marry Jaime.
But reality hit her hard.
Jaime remained silent for a long time before saying:
-I’m sorry, I can’t keep what I promised you. Grandfather forbids me to communicate with you. Yolanda, let’s not contact each other again in the future.
He clearly felt that Yolanda was useless to him, but still unconsciously said words that were beneficial to him to excuse himself.
Yolanda did not know that it was Jaime who abandoned her first, so she was about to cry.
-We have already…
She could not continue. If she were still fertile, it was possible that she was already pregnant. But she had no capacity to impregnate, so she was left with no bargaining condition.
She could not keep Jaime, nor could she make Mr. Seco change his mind.
Yolanda’s face was full of frustration and her heart was full of anxiety.
Jaime also felt sorry for her. Yolanda actually liked him very much in some ways. But in her heart, nothing compared to the benefits.
-Yolanda, goodbye.
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, as if he felt sorry for her.
Yolanda heard a beep from the other end of the phone, her expression was rigid and she held the phone fiercely for a long time.
No, she had to go to Seco’s family to see the grandfather and she had to ask for an explanation.
Even if he couldn’t change Alfredo’s mind, he still wanted to get back the share of the property he gave to the Seco Group.
Her father was not here and the company could only trust her.
Although Yolanda was arrogant, she was very clear in her heart that after she left the company, she would be nothing. Without the company’s support, she would only become an object of harassment.
Those she had offended before were waiting for her to fall.
She could not give them this opportunity.
The more Yolanda thought about it, the more nervous her heart became, and she ran out of the company in a hurry. Lila walked past her, seeing her so anxious, she smiled.
She had just heard the statement of the Seco Family, she only felt that God was helping her. All factors were in place and bankruptcy would be the only destiny of the Carballal family.
She wanted to see that, if Yolanda could still show arrogance in front of her without the company, and Macos would still like her!
Lila took out her cell phone, went to a hidden place and dialed a number. After connecting there, she whispered:
-Is everything ready? They play only these two days. Yes, as soon as possible, you must do it before the Carballal Group’s reaction.
After hanging up the phone, he smiled.
Everything was ready, it was only necessary to wait for a profitable moment.
Yolanda drove hastily to the Seco family’s house. On the way, she almost had a car accident. She finally reached the Seco family, but was stopped.
Yolanda didn’t care about anything anymore, she stood at the entrance and shouted:
-Let me go see Mr. Seco, or I will always stand at the door. As long as you’re not annoying, I’ll keep shouting. If Mr. Seco doesn’t come out to see me, I’m going to scream under the Seco Group building. Mr. Seco should come out to see me.
He knew in his heart that Mr. Seco valued reputation highly. Jaime would apologize to the Santangel family, which would greatly damage the Seco Family’s reputation. If Yolanda insisted on causing trouble for the Seco Family, things would get worse.
Indeed, it was not long before someone came out and said to the guard:
-Sir let her in.
Yolanda had a happy expression on her face, and when she saw the guard let go, she quickly followed him.
This was the second time she had entered Mr. Seco’s study, but she was still subconsciously tense. Her hands and feet were tidy, and after seeing Mr. Seco, she behaved meekly not unlike what she just shouted outside.
-I heard your screams,” the old man opened his mouth in a solemn voice.
Yolanda did not answer him. The first sentence was:
-Jaime and I have already gone to bed.
