Umberto looked at Albina in a complicated mood.
After Albina returned, he clearly understood Miguel’s thoughts towards Albina, but he didn’t take it seriously, he always felt that he was deliberately going against her, but he didn’t expect her to fall so deeply.
-Forget it, don’t think too much. The Eagle family is helping him adjust, it will all pass in time.
But Umberto and Albina knew that all things in the world, as long as they happened, they could not make them disappear completely.
In the future, when Albina confronted Miguel, she was always a little embarrassed.
***
In order not to keep the Carballal Group in trouble, Julio kept apologizing, apologizing to the workers’ families, doing his best to make amends and finally handling the workers’ affairs well.
He rushed back to the company during the night, the other employees had already left work and only the public relations department was still working hard to suppress all kinds of rumors on the Internet.
When he walked in, someone accidentally found him and stood up in surprise.
When Julio saw that he looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, he was stunned for a while and asked:
-What’s the matter, why are you so surprised to see me?
The manager of the public relations department noticed that he came, rushed over and said anxiously.
-Sir, I called you more than a dozen times and you didn’t answer.
Julio looked at his phone, sure enough, he saw more than a dozen missed calls. He remembered that he and his wife had an unpleasant situation and left the house. To avoid receiving their calls, he put his phone on silent. He was busy consoling workers and missed many calls.
-Something urgent?
Julio’s voice was hoarse and tired. The other industries were repressed by the Santangel Group and he had no power to defend himself. In his opinion, it was no more serious than this.
Seeing his desperate look, the manager hesitated for a moment, but still let him listen to the recording.
As soon as the first word of the recording began, Julio’s expression froze, as he listened to the later part, his face became uglier and uglier, he had already turned red and the sound of breathing was abnormally heavy.
The recording was edited and only his voice was heard, but Julio was sure it was Romina who had done it.
She deliberately got him drunk and wanted to set him up. It turned out that Yolanda was right, Romina really didn’t do it for money or status, and her purpose was to know his secret.
Julio did not stand still, and his body crashed forward.
The manager quickly backed him up.
-Sir, are you all right?
Julio was supported by him and it took him a long time to slowly recover. He gritted his teeth fiercely, his eyes were red and filled with hatred.
-Romina, she must have been sent by Umberto and Albina to get close to me.
It turned out that the reason she left was not because Yolanda humiliated and beat her, but because she had completed the task.
Julio laughed, looking mad. He was already middle-aged, he rarely liked anyone, but he didn’t expect to be fooled.
Umberto was very powerful.
-Mr. Carballal, is this true? -was what the manager had always wanted to ask.
If it was true, then no matter how much they tried to accuse and criticize, it would be in vain. It was possible that the police would arrive here tomorrow. If it was false, then it was a rumor, and things would be much easier to handle.
Julio kept silent after hearing what he said.
When the manager saw him like that, he already knew the truth. Julio tacitly agreed. He really did kill someone for the sake of the company’s reputation, and that person was the benefactor who wanted to save his daughter from drunk driving.
How public opinion would develop in the future, the people in the public relations department had already anticipated.
There was nothing they could do.
Seeing their evil expressions, Julio gritted his teeth and said.
-Don’t make that face, it’s just a recording, and what I said when I was drunk, and it can’t be used as key evidence at all.
The secretly recorded audio recording was illegal in the first place, it could not be used as key evidence at all, not to mention that the person who participated in this incident disappeared a long time ago. Who could prove that he actually killed someone?
At most, it was identified that he did not take the initiative to save people, and no one could prove that he killed anyone.
The bad reputation was not important, as long as he didn’t go to jail.
The people in the public relations department regained their energy after hearing what he said, but they still despised them in their hearts.
That section of the road was relatively remote, and it was still in the middle of the night, if they were not discovered in time, the three of them would die.
John was already wounded, but he still went to save them and notified the hospital and his family. Unexpectedly, they not only did not save him, but killed him. This was simply perverse behavior.
Julio didn’t care what they thought, he was always anxious and couldn’t help but look up the recording on the Internet, seeing that the amount of retweets had been increasing, all kinds of comments scolding him and the Carballal Group.
How could Romina do this!
The more Julio thought about it, the more he hated her. He was so good to her, why did she betray him, why did she do such a thing?
When Yolanda heard the movement outside, she too came out of the office and saw Julio standing expressionless, the recording of his drunkenness playing on his phone.
She smiled indifferently.
-I told you before, Romina definitely has a purpose and was sent to your side by someone, but you don’t believe it, now do you know what she wants?
Julio looked at her with somber eyes.
-Yolanda, don’t say those useless things, don’t you know why I would let someone kill Juan? You’re not qualified to say this.
Yolanda would have driven drunk and hit Juan’s car that night, to prevent this scandal from spreading, she would have killed him while Juan was in a coma.
What Julio regretted most now was not killing Juan, but not killing Albina together.
If Albina did not exist, they would not provoke Umberto, and the Carballal Group would not be like this.
After hearing Julio’s words, Yolanda pursed her lips, but said nothing.
She also knew in her heart that it was because she was driving drunk, not to mention that she had now decided to put all the responsibility on Julio.
-How are you going to deal with this matter? -Yolanda changed the subject.
Julio looked at her deeply and said.
-I’m not going to admit it, Romina should be sent by Umberto. The reason he chose to record instead of calling the police directly was probably because there was no conclusive evidence.
Yolanda looked at him in amazement and had to admire that her father had the means, and was shameless enough.
It was already so obvious, he could still be such a rascal.
She steadied her mind and continued.
-There’s no way to save other industries now, so I want to separate Yoli. As long as we keep Yoli, we still have a chance to be reborn, what do you think?
Julio thought for a moment, then nodded randomly.
-You can handle this.
He thought very clearly that Yolanda was his daughter, he gave her Yoli, he felt calmer. As long as she took good care of Yoli, he did other things well. Division of labor and cooperation could maximize the Carballal Group’s loss.
When Yolanda heard what he said, she was happy in her heart, but did not show it on her face.
-After the launch of the new product, Yoli’s sales have been very good. The batch of clothes that was rushed earlier is almost sold out. I plan to ask the factory to make another batch. We have saved a lot of money on costs, but the funds are still not enough. Dad, how much money can you transfer?
Julio frowned, he didn’t have much money either and the liquidity from other industries had already been transferred, but Yoli was very important.
He hesitated for a moment and said.
-We still have some real estate, first let’s sell some for emergency.
Yolanda nodded, there was no other way. All their deposits had already been invested in Yoli. As long as they could keep Yoli, they still had a chance.
Early the next morning, as expected by the PR department, the police arrived.
By ten o’clock, almost all of Grupo Carballal’s employees were in the office. The police passed through the huge office area and went straight to Julio’s office.
The employees were arguing and the voices were endless.
They also watched the news on the internet last night. After arriving at the company this morning, with the exception of Yoli’s employees and the PR department, basically everyone else stopped working.
Now they saw the police coming and everyone panicked.
