These words were so vicious that they could even be called vicious.
This time, not to mention the girl’s mother, the girl’s father wanted to beat her up. His fingers were clenched tightly as he looked at Yolanda, the back of his hand covered with veins, and his body trembled with anger.
The girl’s mother even fainted, leaning gently into her husband’s arms.
-You are so abominable, how can there be such a vicious person in the world, how can you say such words, how can …
The voice of the girl’s mother murmured, uttering the words with almost all her strength, and her whole body trembled.
Yolanda lifted her chin in disbelief, looking at the embracing couple, soft and desperate, brimming with sadness, and suddenly she had a feeling of pleasure.
All these days she had been offended by people, going from being the powerful daughter of the Carballal family to an ordinary person who could be bullied by anyone, and she had been repressed and stifled for too long.
When confronted by this couple, it was as if she had returned to the old days when she was above the world and could scold and browbeat others at will.
A trace of malice appeared on Yolanda’s face:
-So I advise you to be sensible, take the money and go, anyway, it’s only a daughter, you are still young and will have children in the future, so don’t turn against me, everyone will be fine. I will continue with my store, and you will have a better life with the million than before, isn’t it the best from both sides?
The body of the girl’s father tensed and looked at her with a heavy face, without saying anything for a long time.
A hint of satisfaction appeared on Yolanda’s face.
She had deliberately researched before coming here: this couple was from an ordinary family, raising such a sick daughter, and they had long since emptied their savings, there was not much savings left.
This money should be a great temptation for them, shouldn’t it?
When Yolanda finished speaking, seeing that the two did nothing, she smirked and walked away with the people around her.
Once her back was gone, the couple looked at the bank card on the floor, with a face even colder and full of disgust.
-Is 100 thousand worth my daughter’s life? -the wife’s voice was low and muffled, her expression slightly dazed- I’d rather have my daughter back than this million.
The husband patted her on the shoulder and calmed her down, his voice low:
-We don’t want money, we must let justice be done to our daughter, so she won’t die in vain.
When their daughter died and the two learned the reason, the couple immediately contacted the media. A great event with a human life was quickly publicized.
But this Yolanda had too many tricks, and there was help behind her.
Within half a day, the report was withdrawn, so Yolanda was emboldened to come and flaunt her power in front of them, forcing them to settle the case privately.
If she were willing to apologize properly, show sincerity and apologize in the public eye for her daughter, perhaps they would have forgiven her.
But this Yolanda was so arrogant, to say such inhuman words, she was so vicious that they really could not stand her anymore.
This kind of person should be taught a lesson and should never be indulged.
She still wanted to keep opening her store, with such shoddy clothes, and killing people. This was absolutely intolerable.
The husband picked up the two bank cards on the floor, his eyes cold, took his wife by the shoulders and walked slowly back.
The wife’s voice was choked with sobs as she leaned on his shoulder:
-I want to go to my daughter’s grave, she was so afraid to sleep alone, how afraid she must be in the cold and silent earth!
-Yes, I will go with you,” the husband whispered to her, and his voice was also full of suppressed sadness.
Her daughter, who had only celebrated her fourteenth birthday. She was weak, but well-behaved and sympathetic, for she knew her health was not good and never did anything dangerous that would be detrimental to her condition.
She loved to write and draw, had no friends and the only thing that kept her company was a rag doll.
She loved to make clothes for her beloved dolls and when she grew up she would be a women’s clothing designer.
The designer she most admired worked at Yoli. This girl had always wanted to buy a dress from Yoli, but the price of clothes in their store was so high that she never mentioned to her parents that she wanted to buy a garment from this store.
It was only when her mother saw her diary and heard about a price reduction on clothes at Yoli that she went to buy one as a birthday present.
When she received it, she could tell that the quality was not very good, and it took her a few tries to dry and wash it, and it hardly smelled bad.
But she only wore the dress for one day, and in just one day, her daughter, who was so obedient, wasn’t breathing at all.
If she had found out earlier that something was wrong with the fabric, if she had stayed home with her daughter instead of going to work, this would not have happened. The mother regretted it so much that she wanted to die for her daughter.
The worst was Yolanda.
How could she not feel the guilt of giving them the money and humiliating them when it was clear that the products from her store had killed people? Was a human life so worthless in her eyes?
The couple didn’t care about anything, and their eyes looked straight ahead with extraordinary determination.
With their daughter dead, they had no incentive to live. The only thing that could sustain their hope of survival was to avenge her and bring justice.
***
For Yolanda’s part, she thought she had solved the couple’s problem and returned to Jaime’s villa in a good mood.
When she entered, her smile disappeared unconsciously.
This villa was too depressing, because all the servants were bowing their heads, talking quietly, walking noiselessly with their expressionless faces, as if they were mannequins.
Obviously there were quite a few people in the villa, but there was a feeling that there were not many, and there was a bit of fear at night.
Because Jaime had told the servants earlier, Yolanda entered unhindered.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Jaime with the cane in his hand, walking very forcefully, with a very strange posture.
It was as if he was desperately trying to hide his foot injury, but it was getting even stranger.
Yolanda frowned, and a hint of annoyance appeared in her eyes, which disappeared instantly as Jaime approached.
-I’m back.
The corners of her mouth turned up in a smile with her eyes full of love, exactly the same as before when Jaime wasn’t hurt.
When Jaime saw this expression on her face, his heart felt slightly relieved, and even the violence inside him diminished a little.
He discovered that Yolanda was really to his liking. Others who cared to please him, sympathize with him and pity him because of his foot injury, caused a surge of anger in his heart.
But Yolanda did not, except for the hesitation she had first shown in the hospital earlier. And now he liked her so much that he was willing to help her solve problems when she was in a mess.
-Come here,” Jaime let go of the crutches and beckoned her over.
Yolanda obediently walked over, wrapped her arms around his waist and helped him toward the bedroom.
-Honey, thanks for helping me, if you hadn’t helped me reiterate that news, the Carballal Group wouldn’t have had the chance to cheer up, you’re really great, a hundred and ten thousand times better than that Umberto.
-Is everything settled?
Jaime felt infinitely satisfied in his heart after hearing her compliments, especially when she praised himself as better than Umberto.
When Yolanda heard this, she raised her eyebrows proudly:
-It’s already settled, I gave that couple 100 thousand, they have promised to settle it privately, then I don’t think anything will happen, after that, I will continue to open Yoli.
But it was impossible to use that previous batch of clothes, because Yolanda is really scared, and did not dare to provoke another Stephanie.
It is better to sell the batch of clothes Yoli was preparing to launch at the launch event earlier, no matter if the designs had copied others’ designs. Now it was still important to make money now. When achieve performance, he would hire better designers for Yoli to develop better.
-But… -Yolanda raised her eyes and looked at Jaime with a pursing of her lips, somewhat unsure of how to speak.
Jaime looked at her wanting to say something and spoke:
-If you want to say something, say it.
He had good senses for Yolanda now, so if he could help her, he would do it directly. He might not give her a wifely position, but it was okay to give her some extra compensation.
Yolanda only then said:
-We’ve done so much, it was so hard for Yoli to be able to keep opening, what if, I mean what if, when I open the store, Stephanie and Pedro will send someone to ruin my store again?
