Chapter 266: Breaking the glass

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

Diego Fernan looked at Oficial Sancho dumbly, he was unable to say anything.
Oficial Sancho looked at the thin man, who was already in his twenties and still looked like a child.
He approached him and said kindly:
-Diego, for so many years, you must have suffered a lot. Come back, Sogen City is your home.
Hearing these words, Diego’s eyes filled with tears.
He hugged Officer Sancho and cried like a child:
-Sir, I miss my father.
For many years, he had thought of his father every day, but he could never go back.
His father’s body was so strong, but it was because of him that he had done this bad thing, and his heart was hurting all the time.
The police station was silent, and all the policemen who knew Benito looked at Diego with red eyes.

Soon after, the official account of the Sogen City Municipal Police uploaded a post.
It posted the news of Diego’s donation of thirty thousand euros. Then, the few netizens who scolded him were named and criticized, and finally ended with this sentence.
After this, nobody said anything bad about Diego again.
Especially the netizens who were named, rushed to delete and empty all the comments they had posted and the words they had said, and some even disconnected directly from Facebook.
The others were silent, not daring to utter a word.
Albina was relieved to see that the online situation was finally under control.
A few minutes later, Diego’s call came in.
His voice was hoarse with tears as he said to Albina:
-Miss Espina, thank you for reminding me.
They had long since agreed that the recording and suicide note would come out. With something as big as Julio’s fall, the motive would soon be discovered and the matter could not be covered up.
Albina was concerned that the dispatches would have an impact on Diego and informed him beforehand that she was prepared and could help him cover his tracks if necessary.
Diego thought about it before deciding to come forward and make amends for his father.
At first he wanted to give Albina the money, but she denied it and merely said that if he still felt guilty, just give it. It was also a good deed.
-You’re welcome,” Albina paused for a moment after saying this, but still told him, “Even though your father did this bad thing, you didn’t know it at the time. So you don’t need to be under so much pressure.
She wanted to comfort Diego, but she couldn’t say anything euphemistic.
Diego understood what she wanted to express and smiled softly:
-Miss Espina, you are a good person.
The two spoke a few words and hung up.
Albina held up her phone with a complicated expression.
-I am not a good person.
Her father was, but she wasn’t. She had also done a lot of bad things to get revenge.
In the case of this incident, for example, she knew that exposing the recording would implicate Diego, but she did it anyway.
But that was Albina’s character.

While they were doing all this work on their side, Umberto’s side was not idle either.
The first time he returned to the company, Umberto had Ruben find the opportunity to parade the recording to various groups of businessmen, as well as to the wealthy circle.
When this recording came out, everyone was shocked.
In particular, the aforementioned companies hated Julio very much.
Some of the families who had previously only watched Familia Carballal’s downfall were instantly enraged, but Julio had already fallen into the net and there was no way to target him.
Almost everyone had their eyes on Yolanda, of which she was completely unaware.
When Grupo Carballal was about to go bankrupt, she had already been kicked out of the rich group.
She had a bad personality and had not made many friends in total. The only one she had gotten along with, Emma, had fled the country after victimizing her earlier.
The recording had been circulating for hours, but Yolanda was completely unaware of it.
Nor did she know that danger was approaching.
She was currently at home, following the news online with her mother.
They had both seen the news about Julio first thing in the morning.
Yolanda’s mother immediately scolded angrily:
-Stupid, he can’t even escape, really useless.
Yolanda sat on the sofa anxiously, looking at her mother:
-We didn’t help him last night, do you think he will denounce us?
Although the order to kill Juan was issued by Julio, the matter of his drunk driving and erasing the hospital records, all Julio knew.
If he had wanted to take revenge on them, he would have simply informed the police of all this.
That won’t be good for Yolanda in the future either, she will have to pay a large compensation to Albina.
After all, she was the cause of the accident.
Albina’s blindness and Juan’s serious injuries were due to her ramming them.
Yolanda anxiously rubbed her long hair like a madwoman, her whole body full of bad humor.
-Yolanda, calm down,” her mother hurried to calm her down. You are still Julio’s daughter, you still have Yoli, the only property of the Carballal family. Julio needs us to visit him in jail in the future, and besides, when he gets out, he has no money and no job, I’m afraid he still needs you to support him, so he won’t report you.
Mrs. Carballal was very sure about this matter, although she and Julio felt nothing for each other, but she knew his character very well.
Yolanda felt a little more relaxed at his words:
-I hope so.
But until she saw the results, Yolanda was still anxious and nervous.
Her mother could only divert her attention and said:
-Let’s go to Yoli’s store and see how the turnover is.
This was the only thing that could comfort them both.
The Carballal Group office building had been sealed, now they didn’t even have an office and the designers had left. All these had caused them a lot of headaches.
But at least they still owned the store, not only did they have the largest head office in Sogen City, but they also had several branches in the surrounding area and many agents.
Although the daily turnover was not as high as the previous income, it was still enough to keep their life well off.
Hearing this, Yolanda’s mood improved a little and she said:
-Yesterday I had the factory expand production. If we sell these clothes, we will make a lot of money. In a few days, we will sell the previous batch of clothes and make another profit. By then, we will have a new office, hire designers and start Yoli again. With my skill, I can definitely make the Carballal Group rise again in the future.
Then they were ready to leave. The two had just come down the stairs and weren’t even out the door when they heard a bang and the glass in their house shattered.
Yolanda screamed and the two squatted down with their heads in their hands.
Earlier they had fired almost all of their maids to cut expenses, leaving only a nanny to take care of their daily lives.
The nanny wasn’t home now and there was no one to watch the house.
Yolanda did not expect that someone would dare to break in and break the glass in her house. The two of them hugged each other and trembled, looking with frightened eyes at the big stone on the floor.
-Mom, is it a thief or is it a robbery, will he come in and hurt us?
Yolanda trembled as she approached her mother.
“Could it be that someone knows that the maids have been fired and has dared to do it?”
Even though the Carballal Group was bankrupt, they still had some assets, and this house looked rich, so maybe someone wanted to take the opportunity to get some money from the family.
Mrs. Carballal was about to speak when another piece of glass shattered, splattering crumbs of glass everywhere, with some small splinters splattering their faces.
Yolanda sucked in pain and said with a terrified face:
-Mom, we must call the police!
