The first thing I did was to let her mother investigate the background of that person, while Yolanda went alone to the factory she worked with.
She wanted to take advantage of this incident to get money out of the factory. The factory can’t not take a little bit of responsibility for this because she lost a lot. The clothes were made by them, and if there was a quality problem, of course they had to be responsible.
Yolanda thought very hard about it, but the result was that they threw her out after a few words of discussion.
The person in charge, who had been nice to her before, looked at her with irony, as if he was looking at shit.
-Miss, you chose the material yourself, and I have reminded you of this many times, but it was you who insisted that we do it. Besides, you have limited funds, and you expect us to make good quality clothes?
Yolanda felt stung and said angrily:
-But the quality of your merchandise is too poor, if it weren’t for the problems on your part how could something like this happen in my store? Our reputation has been ruined and the store has been wrecked, you must be responsible and compensate me for my losses.
The person in charge became impatient listening to her nonsense:
-Are you crazy about money? Your family has been ruined and you don’t have much money, the reason we keep choosing to work with you in is that we worked with you before. Besides, you chose the material yourself and checked the goods we delivered to you. We have not made clothes of this quality before, and I don’t blame you for ruining our factory’s reputation. If you keep blaming us, go away.
The man said and raised his fist at Yolanda.
Yolanda was so frightened that she unconsciously raised her arm to cover her face and shrank back.
Seeing this, the man in charge snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Yolanda looked at his back, gritted her teeth and picked herself up off the floor, she said viciously:
-You bastard! Seeing the Carballal Group dejected, you dare to step on my feet, shit!
Despite the nasty rebuke, Yolanda did not dare to venture further, this time being expelled, and the next time that person bothered, she might do something wrong to her.
Yolanda left sullenly. Not only did she not get her money, but she felt humiliated.
When she got upset, the mother called her and said:
-Yolanda, we have clearly discovered that it was Mrs. Leoz, Jaime’s aunt. Last night, during the banquet, she was allergic and, in front of many people, her dress was torn, making a big fool of herself. She must be the one who sent someone today.
These words made Yolanda’s heart leap twice.
The allergic lady was actually Jaime’s aunt, and this kind of background was something she couldn’t afford to be offended by.
And she had made a fool of herself at the party over her dress.
She was once a lady, who had attended countless parties, so she knew what it was like to make a fool of herself at a party.
Although she had never met this Mrs. Leoz, nor had she ever had any encounter with her, she knew that she had been spoiled by Mr. Seco and that she was very proud of herself.
If this kind of person made a fool of herself at the banquet, Yolanda really offended her. and this could not be resolved with an apology.
Yolanda suddenly remembered the person she saw today in the crowd, fully armed and wearing a mask, and if she remembered correctly, there were indeed many red spots on the exposed skin.
That would be the rash from allergies.
That person’s eyes were full of hate, and it scared Yolanda to think about it.
She gripped the phone tightly, in a panicked voice:
-Mom, what should I do? I think I saw Mrs. Leoz in front of the store today, she was all hateful when she saw me, there is no way she will forgive me, is it true that Yoli can no longer be opened?
When the mother heard her words, she also took a breath through the microphone and said after a long while:
-That lady is Jaime’s aunt, do you want to try to ask Jaime for help to say something, maybe, you can ask for forgiveness.
When Yolanda heard this, her eyes lit up for a moment, as if she had been walking in the desert for days and nights and was dying of thirst when she came across an oasis.
-Yes, Jaime, Mrs. Leoz is Jaime’s aunt, I can go beg her.
-Yolanda… -the mother wanted to say something else, but Yolanda had already hung up the phone impatiently and went straight to the villa where Jaime was recovering from his wounds.
***
At this moment, inside the villa on the outskirts.
Jaime had just finished his call with the old man and hung up the phone with a somber face, sitting quietly on the sofa.
After a while, he picked something up from the table and slammed it on the floor.
The expensive ornaments were smashed to pieces. Not only was he not relieved, but he continued to smash things until the room was a mess, then he grabbed hold of the table and gasped loudly.
-Damn Pedro, how dare he set me up, damn him!
His elegant face was fierce and grim.
Just now, the old man had called and scolded him, talking about Stephanie and suspecting that he had colluded with Yolanda to deliberately harm Stephanie.
Jaime racked his brain to explain, swore and said as much as he could, before the old man reluctantly believed that he had nothing to do with it, but Jaime knew in his heart that the old man’s suspicions were not entirely dispelled, and he still didn’t trust himself.
When he hung up the phone, the old man informed him of Pedro’s appointment as the company’s marketing director.
Jaime was surprised and stunned, because he had managed to get Pedro out of the company and had paid the price of a leg, but surprisingly, Pedro still made it.
He was unable to manage the company’s affairs for the last two years, but Pedro was able to fill such an important position.
The situation was too unfavorable for him.
But the decision made by the old man did not allow him to refute it.
Jaime held his anger in his heart, and obviously he had done nothing, but he was being used, and he could not vent his anger.
He stared at his injured foot, his eyes dark. It was only after a long while that he limped out of the room and said to the maid in a cold voice:
-Go and tidy up.
The maidservants did not dare to look at him at all and ran into the house in panic and with their heads bowed.
These maids were all subordinates of the Seco family. Previously, Jaime had always been very good-natured at home, treating people with gentleness and kindness, but it was only after they came to serve him that they had turned their previous perceptions of him around.
James was not as nice as he seemed, and without the old man around him, his true temperament was revealed, particularly grim and violent, and as his legs had not fully recovered, his personality was even more eccentric.
Many of the maids complained earlier and were taken out with serious injuries, while the rest stayed because they were silent.
These maids feared every day that Jaime would take it out on them if he was in a bad mood.
Jaime was sitting in the courtyard, and the sun was shining outside, but he was full of anger.
Yolanda hurried to the villa and, being in a hurry, ignored the doorman and hurried inside. Seeing Jaime sitting in the courtyard, she hurried to run to him.
As soon as he approached, he tugged at his sleeve anxiously and said quickly:
-Jaime, help me, Mrs. Leoz bought Yoli’s clothes and ended up with severe allergies, sending people to my store to cause trouble, who trashed my store and threatened me not to keep opening the store. Yoli is the only fortune I have left, please, you must help me, help me to speak well in front of Mrs. Leoz, as long as she accepts my apology …
Before he could finish his words, Jaime raised his head, his eyes dark and sinister, his voice hoarse as he spoke:
-Do you want me to intercede for you, introduce you to Mrs. Leoz?
Yolanda was surprised by his expression and took a while to hear his words clearly, nodding her head:
-Yes, she is your aunt, as long as you help me, she will definitely accept my apology, then Yoli can continue opening….
Before the words could finish, Jaime threw a slap directly at her.
This slap directly dumbfounded Yolanda, who covered her face and looked at him incredulously, her face hot and full of pain.
-You, Jaime, how dare you hit me?
