Mr. Seco always kept quiet, but when he heard Yolanda’s words so frankly, his expression was still surprised.
But he quickly returned to normal, looking at her indifferently:
-So what? Today’s time is totally different from the past. This should be a very normal thing. I never interfere with young people’s lives.
He looked at Yolanda’s stomach with meaningful eyes:
-Although I haven’t been out in a long time, I’ve heard about many rumors. It seems you can’t have children.
Yolanda felt very embarrassed when Mr. Seco pointed it out so bluntly, and her face blushed.
She originally wanted Mr. Seco to help her a little because of her relationship with Jaime, but she didn’t expect the old man to be so indifferent.
-Jaime likes me, even if I’m infertile, he still loves me. If you let the Santangel family bully the Carballal family, he will definitely do….
Yolanda looked excited. Before she could finish her sentence, grandfather interrupted her:
-What will he do, won’t he recognize his grandfather, won’t he go back to the Seco Family and refuse to inherit the company?
As soon as these words came out, Yolanda was stunned.
How could she not know Jaime’s ambition? The reason he opposed Umberto every time was because he wanted to surpass him. Why did he contact her before? Because he wanted to profit from the Carballal Group.
He would never stop inheriting the Seco Family for her, nor would he fight Grandfather for her.
Even if Yolanda didn’t want to think this way, she already knew the answer in her heart.
Mr. Seco looked at her with disdain. This girl was really stupid and she still thought Jaime loved her.
Jaime was her only grandchild. It was very clear in her heart that Jaime only had self-interest in mind. He only loved himself, maybe he didn’t even care much about his grandfather.
If he were not the only heir of the Seco Family, grandfather could not have given his company to that person, but Jaime was his only grandson.
-It’s already a foregone conclusion. No matter how hard you try, I can’t change my mind. Please come back. You have only yourself to blame. Why did you offend Umberto and the Santangel family?
Yolanda was not convinced by this and clenched her fingers tightly:
-Mr. Seco, the first person who proposed to attack Umberto was Jaime, who came up with the idea. I only cooperated with him because I liked him. I can’t just take care of all the disasters and consequences. You would also have to assume certain responsibilities.
-Why aren’t we responsible? -Alfredo had anger in his eyes and was angry for his impolite confrontation, “Jaime agreed to the harsh conditions of the Santangel family, isn’t that responsible? Maybe you have forgotten the reason why Umberto is taking revenge on the Carballal Group and you madly. Do you want me to remind you again?
As soon as he said these words, Yolanda seemed to wake up.
She almost forgot that the reason Santangel’s revenge against the Carballal Group was so frenzied was because he made every single thing difficult for Albina, because he pretended to save Umberto’s life and screwed up the Santangel family.
For a moment, Yolanda felt cold all over. Her face was pale, she raised her head and looked at the indifferent Mr. Seco. She knelt on the floor with a gasp, her voice also carrying a pitiful cry.
-Sir, please help us again. Please, I know I was wrong. I must not offend you. I am too anxious,” she said with red eyes, thinking of her fate without the protection of the company.
Tears fell. In the process of crying, she did not forget to use her trick of moving him with family relations.
-My parents have worked so hard to manage the Carballal Group for so long. I don’t want them to be left alone because of me, and they will suffer so much at such an old age. Please help. I can give up more benefits.
This time, Alfredo looked at her with a cold look:
-Yolanda, you know very well how to use your own advantages ….
Yolanda thought his attitude had changed, his eyes were happy. Before the smile reached her eyes, she heard the old man continue:
-It’s a pity, this trick doesn’t work now.
His smile froze on his face and he raised his head in astonishment.
Mr. Seco lowered his head and looked at her with an indifferent expression:
-For these small benefits, it’s not right to go against the Santangel family. Besides, they have control of you and Jaime in their hands. I can’t let the only heir of our Seco Family be imprisoned by you and the Carballal family.
As these words came out, Yolanda knew he was completely finished. She collapsed on the floor, her whole body went cold and it took her a long time to look at Mr. Seco with a pale face.
-Since you are not willing to help us, please return the part of the property we gave you.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Alfredo’s face:
-Impossible!
Yolanda abruptly got up from the floor and looked at him with red eyes:
-Why! The Seco Group did not comply with the conditions it promised me, so it must return the property of the Carballal Group. The businessmen value the commitment very much. Aren’t you afraid that I will spread this matter to the public?
Mr. Seco looked at her indifferently:
-Then do it. I want to know who dares to oppose the Seco Group for a company that is almost dead.
-You, you have gone too far! -Yolanda felt something stuck in her throat, she couldn’t speak and her body trembled with anger.
-Too much? -the old man laughed.
-If it weren’t for the support of the Seco Group, your company would have been ruined. Even if it hadn’t been ruined, I would have been making the last struggles. I saved you last time. Do you think, with so little profit, you can win our support forever? Girl, you take the part you gave too seriously.
-That bit of industry seems valuable, but you must also know the real situation. The Carballal family has not been able to support that part of the industry for a long time. Even you didn’t give it to us, this part will be abandoned by your family. It is our company that made it revitalized. Now you want to take back this part of industry, it will be too ridiculous.
Yolanda’s face was red, embarrassed by what Alfredo said.
Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, grandfather became impatient.
Originally, the Santangel family bothered him early in the morning, and then his own grandson bothered him. Now, the ignorant and arrogant girl from the Carballal family came to threaten him. He was already full of anger and blamed all the trouble on this girl.
-Since there is nothing to say, Miss Carballal, please go back. You have wasted enough of my time.
After Grandfather finished speaking, he didn’t give her the slightest chance. He rang the doorbell. Less than a minute later, several people entered the studio and demanded that Yolanda leave.
These bodyguards were all tall and strong. They did not restrain their sense of oppression of Yolanda because of her identity as a woman and heiress of the Carballal family. And they even began to force her out forcefully.
Yolanda also feared that these bodyguards would hurt her, so she could only leave the studio in a daze.
When she left the studio, she saw Jaime running out of breath.
After leaving, he looked at Yolanda solemnly:
-I just heard that you made a fuss at the entrance and went to confront my grandfather, why did you do this? Didn’t I explain clearly over the phone, don’t you understand?
Yolanda was holding her breath and didn’t want to say a word to Jaime, but when she reprimanded him like this, her anger surged:
-Your family is too fake. You have already received the benefits, but you didn’t keep your promise. Now you let the Santangel family take revenge on our family. I came to ask for an explanation, can’t I? Or do I have to accept the reality without doing anything?
Jaime was upset when he saw her unreasonable appearance, but he was not angry about his previous relationship with Yolanda.
-Yolanda, recognize the current situation. Our family was also forced to make that decision. We can’t reconcile between the Santangel family and the Carballal family. Why can’t you understand it until now?
