What Sergio said made sense, and Alfredo didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
Indeed, if someone wanted to kill Jaime, his only grandson, he feared he would go out in a rage and kill that person in private.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
The two elders looked at each other.
Umberto suddenly let out a light laugh, which made the two elders look at him.
-We are not an unreasonable family either. Jaime is already hurt like this, if we push him any harder, we’ll seem unsympathetic. It’s better to let him stay in Sogen City.
-Umberto! -Sergio gave him a disapproving look.
Alfredo, on the other hand, was full of joy, but his smile was strangely stiff.
-Great, Umberto. You’re much better than your grandfather.
Umberto smiled at him.
-Mr. Seco, I’m not finished!
At this moment, Alfredo had a bad feeling.
-Then continue.
Umberto continued in the same kind tone, saying unhurriedly:
-You have accepted our conditions, so if you renege on this matter, it won’t be good for your reputation. We will let Jaime stay in Sogen City, but he cannot interfere in the affairs of the group. This way, he can recover quickly and spend more time with himself, to improve the relationship between them.
Sergio laughed out loud when he heard this:
-That’s a good idea.
Alfredo made a bad face. The Santangel family would not budge, forcing Jaime not to meddle in the company’s affairs.
Alfredo gritted his teeth with hatred and looked at the two, pointing at them tremblingly and saying:
-How cruel!
Umberto gave him an innocent look:
-I let him stay in Sogen City. It’s easier for you to recover from your injuries, and it keeps your relationship. There are no more kind people in the world like us.
Sergio nodded:
-Yes, our good intentions have been let down.
Alfredo looked at the two of them, unable to utter a single word, and could only walk away in anger.
When he left, Sergio asked Umberto:
-You rushed back in such a hurry, so this is what it’s all about? Have you taken care of the company’s affairs? Have you made arrangements for Familia Carballal?
Umberto smiled, stood behind Sergio and gave him a squeeze on the shoulder:
-Don’t worry, I’ve arranged it some time ago.
Sergio nodded, very proud of Umberto.
This was the grandson he had personally raised, much better than that hypocritical villain Jaime.
Suddenly he thought of something, looked around, and silently slipped a box into his Umberto’s hand.
Umberto froze for a moment as he saw her mysterious look. When he opened his fingers, he saw that it was a condom.
-What are you giving this to me for?
Sergio’s face flushed and he whispered to him:
-I went looking for you yesterday, and when I saw you hadn’t come home, I assumed you were with Albina. You stayed at her house last night, didn’t you?
Umberto nodded.
Sergio continued:
-You’re not married yet, and getting pregnant would have repercussions on Albina’s reputation. So I prepared them especially for you. You should thank me.
Umberto was touched, but….
He looked at the box and said:
-Grandfather, thank you. It’s just that… the size you chose is a little small….
Sergio glanced at its bottom, surprised, and raised an eyebrow:
-Alonso said this is a normal size.
Umberto’s eyes were slightly smug:
-I’m more prominent.

We spent the morning in peace and quiet. Both Julio and Yolanda were relieved.
-It seems that Grupo Santangel has time to sabotage us now. We have to take the opportunity to prepare well.
When she heard Julio’s words, Yolanda nodded with approval:
-The day after tomorrow, Yoli will launch the news. If the response is good, even if Grupo Santangel attacks Grupo Carballal’s other properties, at least Yoli will be able to survive.
Even if they were not as good as Grupo Santangel in other sectors, Grupo Santangel had never been in the clothing industry. And even if Yolanda had a bad reputation, Yoli had a good popularity.
If there were no quality problems or other catastrophes, Familia Carballal could feed itself and live well.
Julio looked at his daughter with some dissatisfaction:
-Although Yoli is better compared to other industries, how can you put all the leftover funds from other industries into Yoli. If something goes wrong, we will be totally screwed.
Yolanda said, nonchalantly:
-Since our other industries used to depend on Grupo Santangel, it would be too easy for them to destroy those industries. But Yoli is something we have built and grown. Grupo Santangel can’t break it easily, so you can rest assured.
Julio was speechless. He had to admit that his daughter was right.
He called with some exasperation, and when Yolanda heard what he was saying, she looked at him with an annoyed frown:
-Dad, right now we are short of people, isn’t it too inopportune for you to send someone to that woman!
Julio frowned and said:
-I’ve only sent a few people! I am your father, the owner of Grupo Carballal, since when do you have the right to interfere in my affairs?
Yolanda was furious:
-I think that woman definitely has bad intentions. Why don’t you trust your daughter? How long have you known her and trust her so much?
Julio didn’t want to argue with her. Then he hung up the phone, saw a gossip item, and looked at Yolanda:
-You could worry more about Jaime.
-What’s wrong with him?
“Jaime told me on the phone this morning that he had left Sogen City.”
Julio said nothing and handed her the phone directly.
According to gossip, there was a car accident on the road outside Sogen City. One person was taken to the hospital with serious injuries and in a coma. That was not the most important thing. Alfredo went to the hospital and the reporter guessed that the injured person would be Jaime.
Yolanda gripped the phone tightly and began to panic.
“The person who could make Alfredo so nervous must be Jaime, without a doubt.”
