Jaime’s men had each brought a knife. After all, it wasn’t hard to take on a couple, so they didn’t bring any weapons.
Now that they were facing the bodyguards, who were even stronger than them, and the weapons in their hands, they dared not move and resigned themselves to submission.
The couple took the initiative to look for ropes, tied them with knots and threw them to the ground.
Afterwards, the couple went straight to the men and kicked them and beat them severely. In particular, they beat the man who wanted to do something with his daughter’s ashes and the man in charge, both of whom were bruised and swollen in no time.
Pablo’s wife hated them so much that she scratched their faces with nail marks.
Ruben did not stop them. This was what they supported in Familia Santangel. When they had their grudges, they took their revenge.
When they calmed down, he asked the couple.
-What do you want to do with them?
The two were in a dilemma for a moment, but in the end Paul made his decision:
-Leave them in the hands of the police. They just told us who the boss is, so we’ll tell them everything we know.
Ruben sighed inwardly as he looked at the few people whose faces were frozen.
I’m afraid things are not that easy to solve.
He was sure that when these people arrived at the police station, they would definitely not tell the truth.
-It’s useless to send them to the police station, they wouldn’t tell who the boss is.
And since they had problems with Familia Seco, their testimony can’t be that convincing either.
This couple also thought about this and were silent for a moment, their faces a little downcast, but they soon calmed down:
-It’s okay, I know their boss has privileges. This time, we sent them to the police station because we came to file a case. If something happens to us, the first suspects will be your boss and Yolanda.
When he finished, the people on the floor looked up in shock, especially the man who had just led the way, saying with a surprised and somber face:
-Are you not worried about your daughter’s ashes?
Hearing him speak of this, Paul did not restrain himself and stamped his foot on his neck, crushing it with force.
The man let out a cry of pain and trembled in pain.
Other people were also subdued by Paul’s cruelty and did not dare to speak for a long time.
Pablo grimaced:
-We thought of going to take my daughter’s ashes out now. She was too ill to go anywhere in life, and she had always lived in Sogen City. Her only wish was to see the sea. Now that she has passed away, we intend to scatter her ashes in the sea, so you won’t have that opportunity to destroy her ashes.
Then he looked at his wife, as if asking her permission.
His wife, despite her red eyes, nodded and accepted his idea.
Actually, his daughter wrote a lot about the sea in her diary, saying that she wanted to see it. Now she could finally get her wish.
The men finally bowed their heads in despair.
The couple was not afraid of death, nor were they greedy. Their only weakness was their daughter’s ashes, and now even that was gone.
Even if Jaime sent more people later, it would be impossible to make them bow their heads.
Reuben handed Paul the evidence they had in their hands and, seeing his resolute face, suddenly spoke:
-If we had not arrived in time and they had taken the proofs, what would you have done?
Hearing him say that, Paul laughed:
-We didn’t just count on this proof, which is a copy. Our original plan was to wait for them to leave, then go get our daughter’s ashes first, and then report them to the police. As for their threats…
His eyes turned even colder and he continued:
-We don’t care at all. If we compromise, we would be ashamed of our daughter.
It seemed to Reuben that he was very moved by the love he felt for his daughter.
In fact, he had never experienced such intense emotions, and he looked around the little old house, which was full of traces of his daughter’s warmth.
These parents must have loved their daughter dearly to be so fearless and defiant against the powers that be, trying to get justice for their daughter.
***
Ruben helped the couple by taking the men to the police station.
These people made quite a stir at the police station. The heat of the old Carballal Family affair had not yet passed, and this time the affair was related to Yolanda.
The couple presented all the evidence and also said that these people were instructed by Jaime and Yolanda.
As expected, these people denied it when they arrived at the police station.
Afterwards, the police contacted Familia Seco, and the person they spoke to was Alfredo.
Alfredo knew that Yolanda had been with Jaime recently, but he did not stop him because, due to his foot injury, Jaime was in a bad mood.
He thought that having Yolanda’s company might make Jaime feel more comfortable.
But she didn’t expect him to do bad things for Yolanda, which went completely against his previous common sense and caution.
Of course, Alfredo did not recognize that these people were from the Seco Family. After hanging up the phone, he immediately went to look for Jaime, while instructing Familia Seco to approach the police station and keep an eye on the group of people, giving them clues to prevent them from saying anything that should not be said and would affect Jaime.
Arriving at the villa on the outskirts.
Alfredo rushed in furiously and when he reached the living room, he saw Yolanda leaning on Jaime’s arms, feeding him grapes. The two were talking and laughing, oblivious to the chaos outside.
When he rushed in full of anger, the door panel opened violently with a loud noise and Yolanda was startled, separating from Jaime.
Seeing Alfredo, Jaime also rushed to sit upright and leaned on his crutches as he tried to stand.
When Alfredo looked at his struggling appearance, the anger in his eyes finally subsided a bit and he gestured to her:
-Sit down.
Only then did his heart lighten.
He had made that gesture on purpose to gain sympathy, and it really worked.
-Grandfather, what’s wrong, you look angry.
Alfredo listened to his careful question, saying angrily:
-It’s all your fault.
Saying that, he looked at Yolanda, seeing the way she was standing behind Alfredo with her head bowed and shaking, he felt contempt:
-You’ve gone to do bad things for this woman, don’t you think we’ve had enough trouble?
Hearing this, Jaime became nervous.
“Did he know, grandfather?”
“Did he know about me putting out the news, or about sending people to bother Pablo?”
As he wondered, Alfredo gave him the solution:
-The men you sent to mess with that couple have been sent to the police.
“What?”
Jaime froze for a moment.
“How could that be, how could that couple have the ability to subdue them.”
He thought back to the live video feed of the couple whose bodies looked weak and felt a little shocked.
It was as if Alfredo had read his thoughts:
-It was the men of the Santangel Family who rushed in and not only saved that couple, but also captured your men. Now we are in big trouble! If they turn you in, I’ll have to go out of my way to help you. And more importantly, how could Familia Santangel let you go free so easily.
Alfredo sighed:
-Instead of making you well, you’re causing me trouble because of this woman!
Alfredo looked at Yolanda with unkind eyes, as if he was looking at a bitch.
This woman could not conceive, with a poor character, she was not even worth using. Besides, she wasn’t pretty.
“How could Jaime be mistaken by her for taking a risk? All the calm and caution of the past were gone.”
