Chapter 265: Atonement

Book:The Blind Wife Published:2024-6-3

It seemed very reasonable his explanations, besides, he had proof to make his words more real.
Albina was stupefied by his false testimonies, no wonder she could develop the Santangel Group so well.
She cursed in her heart, without saying it in front of the police.
Julio didn’t explain anything, he had no energy even to move, he just felt helpless to see Umberto slandering him.
Even if he could speak, he still did not dare to do so, because he knew that Umberto would be able to hurt him even when he was in prison.
The officer knew very well that what Umberto said was not true, but he said nothing about it and let them go.
As the two left the police station, Albina reached out her hand and pointed to Umberto’s waist.
Umberto thought she was going to hug him and was about to open his arms when he felt a sharp pain from his waist.
Then he looked at Albina with a doubtful face:
-What’s the matter, why are you angry?
Albina looked at him:
-Umberto, I didn’t know you are so good at lying.
Hearing this, Umberto froze, smiled and took her hand rubbing it with his hands: -Albina, I will never be like that with you, I swear.
-If you dare to lie to me like that in the future, I will kill you. Albina gave an aggressive look, but when she saw him flustered, she smiled again.
-I finally got my revenge for my father’s death. Julio is already in prison and today I will post Dr. Fernan’s suicide note and the recording of his dealings on the Internet to vindicate my father.
Now all that was left was to take revenge on Yolanda.
As Julio had clearly mentioned that Yolanda was driving drunk, the more he expanded this matter, the more Yolanda and her Yoli would definitely be affected.
Umberto also became serious and told her:
-Today I will broadcast the recording of Julio’s confession and soon it will be known all over town Sogen.
I could almost predict Yolanda’s fate.
Albina nodded and recovered her spirits from the tiredness of not having slept well last night.
The two of them had a lot to do today.
Umberto took her home and left.
Albina and Kevin made an agreement and hoped to release the evidence once the police broke the news that Julio had been caught.
When the police reported that Julio was taken to the police station by a good man, Kevin immediately released the recording he had saved.
The bankruptcy of the Carballal Group caused a great sensation on the Internet.
Julio and Yolanda used to appear on several news channels and although they were not as popular as some famous stars, they were also well known.
The huge Carballal Group that went bankrupt in a short time, and the president Julio became a bandit, when someone revealed that news yesterday, it was something frightening for the whole public.
Moreover, just one day later, Julio was caught.
Internet users praised that good man who was mentioned by the police, on the other hand, they also said that Julio had bad luck.
Not long after the news of the capture was revealed, Dr. Fernan’s suicide note and the recordings were also spread.
Kevin used the media to increase the propaganda, soon after, the news was broadcast unstoppably on Facebook, it even overtook the kind of a singer’s tour and became the most popular topic.
The coroner had worked very hard for many years. He was also interviewed by TV reporter, so he was known to many local people.
But after knowing his suicide note and the recording, all the netizens sighed for the truth, most of them did not want to comment their mistake to a deceased person, besides, they knew that Benito Fernans had always been responsible with his work and thanks to him, the police could solve many cases, so they felt sorry for the mistake he had made.
But upon learning that Dr. Fernan’s son was still alive, a small group of irresponsible people who hid their identities began to recklessly write the most vicious words to attack him mercilessly.
They said that the son should be punished by his father, and some of them even asked the public to investigate the son’s address and then enter his house to force him to admit his mistake.
Public opinion was growing so fast that it also drew the attention of the Sogen City police.
Many of them were Benito’s former classmates and friends, at first they were shocked and saddened to hear about it, but they could imagine that Benito did it to save his son and had already passed away with much regret, therefore, when they saw the insults and humiliations towards Benito Fernan and his son, they became angry and were going to publish the exploits to stop this incident.
At that moment, they suddenly saw a thin man with a mask who entered with a bag.
He was wearing black clothes letting the dress cover him all over his body, his exposed skin was pale which gave a feeling of weakness.
-Hello, how can I help you?
An officer quickly contained his emotions and asked.
The man was stunned for a moment, then slowly removed his mask showing him his pale and delicate face:
-Officer Sancho, it’s me.
Seeing his face, Officer Sancho stood up excitedly and said astonished:
-Diego Fernan? It’s you!
Yes, it was definitely Diego!
Officer Sancho and Benito Fernan had been friends and colleagues for many years, he had witnessed Diego’s growth and knew very well that Benito was always very concerned about his son’s illness.
But since Benito Fernan died, Diego had disappeared, so he was trying to find him to take care of him.
After a long time had passed, he could not find him and with the passage of time, he had almost forgotten about this person.
However, Julio’s arrest involved Benito Fernan, and he remembered Diego again.
And now, Diego who suddenly appeared in front of him, although his face was pale and he was thin, he looked much better than when he stayed in bed every day without being able to get up.
-Did you see the news on the Internet?
Officer Sancho paused and then said with a complicated expression, “It was you who delivered your father’s suicide note and the recording to that girl, wasn’t it?
Benito Fernan’s suicide note could only be in Diego’s hands.
Diego nodded:
-Yes, they located me recently, but I gave them to him of my own free will.
He explained anxiously, not wanting the police to misunderstand Albina and Umberto.
-My dad always felt guilty for having made that mistake, Officer Sancho, you know very well that if it wasn’t for me, he would never do this kind of thing. My dad is a good person, I am the one who implicated him, he was not as disgusting as the others said….
Having said this, Diego’s eyes turned red.
Officer Sancho also became sad for him, so he consoled him:
-Yes, I know, your dad is a good man.
It was the only mistake he had ever made in his whole life.
-Before the publication of the suicide note and the recording, they had also contacted me, I know it was time to do something for my dad.
Diego kept his emotions bottled up and put the bag in his hand on the table:
-I want to donate these 30, 000 euros to atone for the sins of my father, they are my savings of the last years plus the money my dad left me.
My dad had made this mistake in order to pay the 20, 000 euros for the medical expenses. Now I am giving it back to him and often, I will do good deeds in the future to atone for the sins of his father.
Diego raised his face, his cheeks were pale and thin, and said to Officer Sancho:
-I can also go to jail instead of my dad. I am the guilty one who caused all these problems, so I must take all the consequences.
He had seen the comments of those Internet users, and he felt very sad.
He was willing to do anything to stop the humiliations towards his dad.
Officer Sancho looked at the thin teenager, his eyes burning.
He was only in his early twenties, and he must have worked very hard under a lot of pressure to accumulate so much money over the years.
Officer Sancho knew that Benito had spent all his money on his son’s operation and after his death, Diego used the remaining money to pay back all the debts before he left.
Therefore, when Diego left he should have no savings, surely he had to sacrifice a lot to gather so much money in a few years, anyone could imagine the life Diego led.
-You are wrong, nowadays, there is no longer any law that says that children must assume the crimes of their parents.
