Yolanda had rarely been hit in her life, and the one who had hit her the most was Julio.
But it never occurred to her that she would be hit by Jaime.
He used a lot of force and in a short time, Yolanda’s cheeks swelled and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and the slightest movement made her in a lot of pain.
Jaime withdrew his hand and his eyes became even colder and more unkind:
-Do you know what you’re saying? She even asked me to beg her.
The anxiety in Yolanda’s heart was relieved by this slap, and only then did she realize that Jaime did not seem well.
He had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and his face was originally handsome and gentle, but now, his whole person was filled with a hostile and gloomy aura, and with just a glance, she knew that this person had a bad temper, which made people not dare to mess with him.
-What’s wrong with you?
Jaime looked at her with a bad face. Seeing that expression of stupidity on her face, a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes.
It was this stupid woman who had made a scandal of herself and had implicated him in this affair.
If it had not been for her, Peter would not have entered the Dry Group at all, and he would not have been questioned by the old man and put in this unfavorable position.
He now had a mangled foot, he walks with a limp, and when it is cloudy and raining, the injured area hurt badly.
He had traded his health for Pedro’s abandonment of the company, and such a great sacrifice was ruined because of this woman, Yolanda.
The more Jaime thought about it, the angrier he became, and when he could no longer contain himself, he slapped Yolanda again, saying angrily:
-You still have the nerve to beg me, do you know that Pedro and I are incompatible with each other, how dare you ask me to beg him? You are insulting me.
Yolanda covered her face in shame and backed away in fright.
Speaking of Pedro, she suddenly remembered that Pedro was the one competing with Jaime for the inheritance of Grupo Seco, and her mother certainly didn’t deal well with Jaime.
In fact, this time she had begged the wrong person.
Yolanda opened her mouth, her voice muffled, but she did not know what to say.
When she had just gotten off the phone with her mother, it was obvious that she wanted to remind her of something, but she was in a hurry and hung up the phone instead, rushing over here.
-Sorry, I forgot about that, sorry.
Yolanda hurried to apologize, if it was in the past, if Jaime dared to hit her, she would definitely fight Jaime and fight hard against him.
But now she didn’t dare, Jaime had the Seco family behind her, and it had nothing to do with her. In the future if she was really desperate, she still had to lean on Jaime.
Hearing her apology, Jaime’s face was still ugly, and his gaze was unkind as he looked at her:
-I know you’ve lost a lot, but what you don’t know is that because of you, I’ve lost a lot too.
Jaime slowly recounted what the mother and son Pedro had done, and Yolanda’s eyes grew wider and wider as she listened, filled with disgust.
She regretted having made shoddy clothes to save costs, and now Jaime was angry with her.
Yolanda almost sat on her knees in front of Jaime, holding her knees carefully, apologizing to herself over and over again:
-I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong, it was all my fault, I don’t dare, I won’t dare again.
As she said this, tears streamed down her face.
She had not suffered this kind of grievance since she was a child. And she worried every day that someone would take revenge on her and something would happen to Yoli, and she was under so much pressure, but in the end her store was shattered.
She had no way to get help and they threatened her not to reopen the store, so she suffered more in her heart.
When Jaime saw her crying like that, he got even angrier, but he also understood that this Yolanda thing was actually an excuse for the mother and Pedro, and even without this thing, they would find a way to start with other things.
As much as the Elder wanted it, he wasn’t mean to his own daughter either. Rather than let his feelings of guilt towards the mother and Peter grow, it would be better to let that mother and child calm down for now.
Jaime sighed and looked up at the sky.
The reason the old man loved him so much was also because of the guilt he felt towards his eldest son.
-All right, get up.
Only after a long moment did Jaime speak, and Yolanda choked back a sob as she got up from the ground and stood in front of him, her eyes red.
-I can’t help you with this matter, if I ask for you, Mrs. Leoz would probably hinder you more.
Although Yolanda already knew how things were going to turn out, hearing him say it in person made her desperate.
Could it be that there was no more room to change this matter?
Without looking at her, Jaime pulled out his phone to consult something on the internet, frowning as he handed it to Yolanda.
-Yoli is hopeless now, no matter what you do, you can’t save the situation, take a look at this yourself.
Yolanda did not know what to do. And when she found saw the message, her eyes were surprised and her face turned white.
Yoli is finished!
***
In Macos’ office, Albina and Macos picked up their own phones with a straight face.
The first thing you have to do is to have a good idea of what you are doing.
Only after a long while, Albina sighed heavily:
-As much as I wanted Yoli to shut down and Yolanda to be punished as she deserved, I didn’t expect something like this to happen.
On the phone screen there was a news item.
A little girl had died of a severe allergy caused by wearing Yoli clothes, missing the best moment to save her life.
Yolanda’s Yoli was now hopeless, and she might have to pay for it.
The story also mentions that the girl herself was weak and had asthma, which was usually taken care of with medication, but Yoli’s clothing was indeed the main cause of the girl’s death.
Even if Yolanda had been able to defend herself, she would have had to pay the price for it.
Macos also took his eyes off the phone and looked at Albina:
-We don’t have to do anything at all after that, Yolanda can’t fight for this, and even if she doesn’t go to jail, she will lose all her money.
As far as he knew, Yolanda didn’t have much assets, and after paying for that, she didn’t have money to take up Yoli’s initiative anymore. And if she did have it, with this crime that made the person die, no one dared to buy her clothes.
Albina nodded and also closed the website.
Macos looked at Albina’s face and suddenly thought of something and asked:
-Today there was trouble in all of Yoli’s stores, did Umberto do it, if not, how could he be so casual?
Last night she had vaguely heard Umberto say that he wanted to make more fuss at Yoli’s.
Today’s incident had most likely been his doing.
-Whether it was Umberto’s doing or not, Yolanda no longer has any hope of restoring her company, so you can quietly prepare for work with Claire, and in leisure time, you can open a studio, if you need me, I can do you a favor at any time.
Macos said enthusiastically, and his face had a boyish handsomeness. He was particularly boyish.
Albina was inexplicably in a better mood, smiling and nodding,
-Well, then I won’t be polite to you, after opening a studio, I absolutely need your support.
It didn’t matter how old Macos was. The scale of the company was not particularly large, but he had started his own business with his own efforts.
Once the matter of Yolanda was settled, Albina suddenly remembered someone and looked inquisitively at Macos with gossip.
-By the way, has that Lila been communicating with you lately, I haven’t heard any news of her going somewhere to work…?
As soon as those words came out, Macos’ face shadowed and the smile on his face withdrew, he gritted his teeth, and his voice sounded like it was squeezed between his teeth with much annoyance.
-That woman, she’s a lunatic!
