At the Espina house, As Ruben stumbled in the afternoon upon that scene, Albina looked in a state of embarrassment.
After eating the meal Umberto had prepared, she urged him to leave, but Umberto stayed with the excuse of helping her tidy house until evening.
When Albina saw that it was already dark outside and he still did not want to leave, she raised her eyebrows and said suspiciously.
-Umberto, you’re thinking of sleeping at my place, aren’t you?
Umberto did not hide his idea, pointing to the night outside the window and saying:
-It’s dark outside, it’s not safe to drive.
-I remember you always finish your work very late, and after all these years, you’ve never said it’s unsafe to drive in the dark night.
-How can it be the same? -Umberto’s eyes contained affection, his face was perfect, and he just looked calmly at Albina -You’re home alone, I’m worried about you, of course driving will be dangerous.
Albina knew she was talking nonsense, but with the softness in his eyes, she said helplessly:
-Then you can sleep in the other room next to mine, luckily today I bought two quilts.
Umberto’s smile stiffened for a moment as he pulled her close and hugged her, whispering:
-I can’t fall asleep in another room. As long as you are by my side, I can fall asleep,” Umberto smiled as he said these words,.
-Okay, as you wish,” Albina answered.
The two were going to get engaged later, so sooner or later, they were going to sleep together.
Only then Umberto looked relieved, and there was even a smirk in his eyes as he saw that his plan had worked.
-Then I’ll go take a shower first,” he said, carrying his clothes into the bathroom.
Only then did Albina realize that this man had packed his things when he arrived, and it was possible that he had already thought about staying here tonight.
Albina did not go to discuss this with him. He had already used all means to stay, so he could only agree to this. Otherwise, who knew what kind of weird excuses he would come up with.
Albina was about to go to the bedroom to make the bed when she heard Umberto’s phone ringing on the table, which she hadn’t taken seriously, but it was still beeping.
Her curiosity was instantly piqued.
When she looked at the illuminated screen, she saw it was a message from a woman with the note:-Romina (Julio).
This Romina, who Umberto had mentioned in the car when they returned home, was someone he had programmed next to Julio.
Albina was about to look away when, without much intention, she caught the name Juan Espina in the message Romina had sent.
She had a vague feeling that Romina had already discovered the truth about her father’s death in the message she had sent today. Perhaps the truth of her father’s death had already been learned.
She was very nervous at the thought, and swallowed saliva as she picked up the phone finding that it had a password on it.
Albina thought about it for a moment and entered her birthday, to her surprise, the phone opened.
Entering the chat interface with Romina, the first message she sent was two audios.
The messages that followed were also from Romina, saying that she had completed the task given to her by Umberto and had now left Julio.
The things that happened four years ago were clearly revealed by everyone. There was something suspicious about Juan Espina back then. And the Carballal family had hidden the secret, which was revealed by Romina.
Albina’s eyes were already red, excited and sad at the sight of these words.
For so many years, she had always known that her father had been wronged, which had absolutely nothing to do with the Carballal family, but in these years, she had only heard from the Espina family that Ramon and Alex had mishandled her father’s car, but other than that, there was no proof or clue.
Now Umberto had someone who found out for her, and once she heard the audio, everything would be clear.
Albina was so nervous that her fingers were shaking as she carefully clicked on the audio.
The first audio was Julio saying that he had helped Yolanda in the car accident four years ago, something Albina had guessed earlier.
When the car accident happened four years ago, Yolanda was in a coma for three years, and she was the only daughter of the Carballal family, so the matter was definitely handled by Yolanda’s parents.
The key was the second audio, which was also a bit longer than the first.
Albina listened to Julio’s drunken voice, and as she listened, her eyes got bigger and bigger, full of disbelief, and when she heard the end, tears streamed down her face.
There was no emotion on his face, and only his eyes were wide open and the tears kept falling uncontrollably.
It seemed like his whole soul was gone.
Umberto came out of the bathroom, wiping his hair, and saw her crouched in the middle of the sofa and table, her shoulders still shaking.
He frowned and approached her:
-Why don’t you go back to the bedroom, there’s plenty of hot water in the bathroom.
He spoke and approached Albina, without listening to her response, and finally sensed that something was wrong.
As he was high above her, Umberto saw at a glance that she was holding her phone.
He squatted down and lifted Albina’s chin with his fingers, and was about to speak when he saw her eyes full of panic and confusion, and the tears that kept running down her face, his heart immediately panicked.
-What’s wrong? Why are you crying?
Umberto’s cold, indifferent face filled with anxiety and he rushed to help her dry her tears.
Albina’s voice became hoarse as soon as she opened her mouth:
-My father, my father is innocent, he did not run over Yolanda with the car, and the car accident four years ago, my father was not at fault…..
He spoke with confusion, and had obviously lost his mind a little.
Umberto saw Romina’s message on the screen and finally knew why she was crying.
He rushed to take Albina in his arms, patted her shoulders and comforted her:
-Yes, and we knew all along that there was something suspicious about what happened four years ago. Don’t cry, you’ve been crying all day.
Albina’s eyes were very hard to heal.
But this time it was different. Albina shook her head and directly put the phone in Umberto’s hand, gesturing for him to listen.
Umberto took it, and could already guess something in his heart. It was that the Carballal family had the coroner falsify the matter of Julio’s drunkenness.
But it turned out that the matter was even more serious than he had imagined.
The recording was intermittent, and it was clear from the first listen that it was Julio who was drunk, with Romina’s voice next to him, but after listening to the whole audio, Umberto also found out the truth of what had happened then.
It was that Yolanda went out with her friends that day and got drunk, and when she drove back drunk, it was already very late that day, there was no one on the road and it had gone well, but she did not expect to meet Julio driving home with Albina.
Yolanda hit Julio’s car and it was too late for Julio to avoid it, and he was hit by Yolanda’s car at that moment.
At that moment all three fainted, but Julio did not die at that moment, on the contrary, of the three, he was the most awakened. He pulled Albina out of the car and went to save Yolanda.
After calling an ambulance, he used Yolanda’s phone to call the Carballal family and fainted.
As a result, when the Carballal family arrived, they sent Yolanda to the hospital, but left the father and daughter alone.
Julio said over the phone that Yolanda was drunk. People in the Carballal family feared that Yolanda and the Carballal family’s reputation would be tarnished. At the time, the Carballal family was preparing to open a new project and it was a crucial moment.
So they had the seriously wounded Julio killed before the ambulance arrived, and they were about to harm Albina when the police had arrived, and only then did they stop to act and leave.
Later, they also bribed the coroner to falsify Julio’s drunk driving incident and put all the blame on him.
The Espina family was left in ruins struggling in hell, but the Carballal family was getting better and better. Yolanda, the culprit, was always at large, and the accomplices of the Carballal family did not feel a trace of guilt, and continued to live their lives happily.
Even Julio himself said drunkenly in the audio:
-He was so badly wounded, he should die, who made him have the bad luck to know so much….
