Before Albina knew it, Olivia led her into the room. Albina followed her with a stunned face and the mother-in-law eagerly took her hand.
The bedroom was large.
The design of the whole room looked very luxurious at first glance. The exquisite decorations and elegant interior were completely different from the general decorating style of Santangel’s house.
-Come here,” Olivia waved at her from the dressing table.
On the dressing table, there was a thinly packed box. Albina recognized the logo on the box, it was an expensive jewelry brand.
When her father lived before, on his birthday he also gave her the same jewelry, a small necklace, which cost tens of thousands.
And this box was so big, it was full of jewels and they looked shiny.
Then Olivia opened the box, as if she was presenting treasures and showed him one by one.
-I like this brand of jewelry best. It’s a new model from their top designers. Look how beautiful it is,” Olivia showed it to Albina.
This was a set of jewelry, which Olivia bought with Daniel’s card when they left the Seco family in the morning.
She wanted to collect it, but after seeing Albina, she thought a gift was good to ease their relationship.
The color of this set of jewelry was bright and the style was also suitable for young people. Albina’s skin was fair and delicate, her figure and appearance were also perfect. If she wore them, the jewelry would look more beautiful.
Olivia’s look became more cheerful. Albina smiled and didn’t think much. Until Olivia pushed the whole jewelry box in front of her, Albina was stunned for a moment.
-How?
Olivia looked at her with a smile:
-I think this set of jewelry suits you very well. It’s a gift.
Albina waved her hand in refusal:
-No, no, it’s too precious, I….
-Don’t refuse, accept it,” Olivia took her hand. You must not refuse the blessing of the elders.
Then she went on to explain:
-“Although these jewels look shiny, they are not worth much. If you don’t like it, I have others.
After speaking, she took the key out of the drawer and prepared to open the safe.
The jewelry Olivia put in the safe was definitely collections.
Albina hurriedly stopped her, held the box and said to Olivia:
-Madam, it is not necessary, I like this very much.
Olivia stopped, took Albina’s hand and looked at her with sparkling eyes:
-Before you get engaged, I will ask Umberto to buy a new outfit for you. You look good, you should wear something more beautiful. The wife of the Santangel Family needs to be elegant.
Albina listened to Olivia’s words and felt moved.
She thought Olivia was really an extreme person and Umberto got this character. Love and hate were clear.
Umberto was more rational and could see people’s nature better, but Olivia was completely based on subjective impressions.
In the past, she liked Yolanda and hated Albina, so she treated Yolanda well.
Now it was the opposite. Olivia had a good impression of Albina, so she treated Albina as if she were her own daughter.
When Olivia came out of the bedroom with Albina, the three men of the Santangel Family looked at them at the same time. Their voices stopped when they saw them holding hands and acting very affectionate.
Umberto was also a little surprised, looking at Albina for a long time, unable to speak.
Just now he was still worried that Albina and his mother would have a conflict, but the result was quite the opposite. Olivia was now kinder to Albina than she was to him.
The three men of the Santangel Family gave a sigh at the same time.
Women were difficult creatures to understand.
-What a long day! Everyone is hungry, aren’t they? Let servant prepare the food. Albina, what do you want? -Olivia asked.
Albina was about to say she liked everything, Umberto spoke before her.
-She likes sweet and spicy. No onion and garlic, prepare a fish soup for her.
Albina didn’t drink enough this morning. Umberto remembered that pitiful face, so, he gave a special order.
Albina winked at him with a smile. Umberto received this look, lowered his head and smiled.
Sergio knew how his grandson treated Albina, so he was not surprised. Umberto had learned to cook for Albina, so it was no wonder he knew her taste.
Daniel and Olivia were a little surprised. In their opinion, their son was arrogant and indifferent. Maybe he didn’t know what his relatives liked to eat, but he could clearly remember Albina’s taste.
As soon as they turned their heads, they saw Albina and Umberto were interacting. They smiled and felt relieved.
Such Umberto gave them a cheerful and lively feeling.
In the past, although Umberto was excellent, he always lacked friendliness and looked very indifferent.
***
The Santangel Family was full of happiness, but Yolanda’s mood was horrible.
She was driving, her mind was in a mess. Alfredo’s mockery, Jaime’s helplessness and disappointment, and the crisis of the Carballal Group. All this made it impossible for her to drive.
When she arrived at the company, she was standing at the bottom and did not dare to go upstairs.
No one was willing to help them now and the Seco Group was no longer on their side. Sooner or later, this Carballal Group building would belong to someone else.
The more Yolanda thought about it, the more she closed her hands. A nagging feeling came to her heart.
Instead of entering the building, she turned around and wanted to walk around to look for some measures that could save her family and stop the Santangel Group from going against the Carballal Group.
Yolanda walked aimlessly down the street. Her body seemed to be covered with a layer of shadow, which made people want to avoid her.
No idea where she was, suddenly I heard a soft, sweet voice coming from the side.
-Julio, the food in this restaurant is good, isn’t it?
As soon as he finished speaking, another voice that Yolanda couldn’t have been more familiar with came over:
-Yes. Especially the tuna salad, the sauce is sweet and sour and the meat has a delicate texture.
Yolanda raised her head, followed the voice and saw Julio take a woman’s hand and leave the restaurant.
The relationship between the two was very close, the woman leaned on him, with the beautiful appearance and elegant dress.
At this moment, she was looking at Julio with eyes full of admiration and love.
Julio also enjoyed this kind of look, his face was flushed, he lowered his head to talk to the woman. Her expression was more patient and gentle than with Yolanda and her mother.
Yolanda gripped her purse tightly and looked at them with red eyes.
Her dad had cheated and had another woman.
Yolanda had always known that her parents’ relationship was not good. Sometimes, when her father attended social activities, it was inevitable that there would be other women. But what she hadn’t expected was that Julio was so spoiled by this woman alone.
On the call with his mother today, he learned that his father had not returned home for several days. Seeing how close he was with this woman, Yolanda knew that her father had spent these days with her.
There was such an urgent incident at the company, she could not find Julio anywhere. She was so anxious that she ran to Seco’s house to ask for help, it turned out that she was humiliated and expelled.
She made so much effort for the company, but Julio had an appointment and had dinner with the mistress at such a critical moment. He did not look worried at all.
The more Yolanda thought, the angrier she became. She went to them with her purse and hit Romina without saying a word.
-You bitch, bitch. Do you know that this man next to you has a wife and children? Daughter of…
Her expression was twisted and crazy, looking at Romina with hatred. She also resented Julio, but he was her father and the owner of the Carballal Group, she could do nothing with him and could only vent all her anger against Romina.
