Jaime felt embarrassed by Alfredo’s reprimand.
Actually, he felt that his move was irrational, but the way Yolanda was looking at that moment made it impossible for him to refuse.
Jaime had not expected Familia Santangel to intervene, to protect that couple. He had thought they were a couple at the mercy of others.
He was so irritated that a surge of anger surged in his head.
“Why was it Umberto again, why can’t I be better than him, then or now?”
In the past, he was at least a healthy and normal person, but now, he was crippled and even less capable than Umberto.
Jaime’s fingers clenched tightly, showing a few grimaces.
Alfredo frowned and looked at him, so he quickly pulled himself together and said:
-Grandfather, don’t worry, that group of people won’t turn me in.
The people he had trained might not be as capable as those of Familia Santangel, but the loyalty was absolute.
Alfredo’s face was slightly relieved at her words, but he still looked at Yolanda:
-Even if they don’t turn you in, and you can get away with it, Miss Carballal won’t be able to escape.
Yolanda also understood this matter as she looked at Jaime nervously.
Seeing this look, Alfredo also looked at him:
-You cannot save her. This couple has no intention of letting her go.
Obviously, Jaime knew this too. Then he sighed as he looked at Yolanda:
-This affair is a foregone conclusion, we have already done everything possible.
Yolanda already understood what he meant. Her legs weakened and she sat down on the floor.
Looking at her like that, and then at Jaime’s guilty sigh, Alfredo finally said:
-I will help you get your sentence reduced, so you can spend less time in jail.
Yolanda was very scared. But this was the best possible outcome.
She could only thank Alfredo in a trembling voice, secretly unconvinced.
“With your influence in Sogen City, as long as Alfredo does more, you can keep me out of jail.”
Yolanda hated him very much in her heart, but she dared not show it on the surface.
The police opened a case based on the evidence provided by Pablo. It didn’t take long to find out everything.
It was impossible for Yolanda to destroy all the clothes, but there were many toxic substances in other clothes, which might not be so problematic for normal people, but could cause severe allergies to allergy sufferers.
Paul’s daughter was weak and sickly, as well as suffering from severe allergies. It was the various coincidences that led to her death.
Yolanda was guilty of it, but as the incident was rather accidental, and caused no major problems, in the end, under Alfredo’s operation, she was sentenced to two years in prison.
Yolanda did not resist, but continued to cry, full of fear.
Later, Jaime went to visit her in prison.
Her long hair was cut short and her face was pale. When she saw Jaime, she frantically rushed at him, begging him to get her out of there, crying very disconsolately.
-The people inside were bullying me. I can’t eat or sleep well, I’m afraid every day and I’ll probably die in jail in two years.
Her voice was miserable and hoarse. When Jaime saw her like this, he felt very uncomfortable. In his heart, although he liked Yolanda, his own interests were more important.
He told her quietly:
-I will let you suffer less. When you get out of jail in two years, I will be back in charge of Grupo Seco by then, and I will treat you well.
Hearing this, Yolanda finally stopped crying, and a delighted smile appeared on her face.
She was so scared that she didn’t even realize that Jaime didn’t promise her any position.
Jaime left the detention center with a somber face, holding his cane, and his mind was filled with Yolanda’s frightened and clinging eyes as she was taken away by the prison guards. His state of mind was quite complicated.
Although he didn’t want to admit it, he was indeed a slightly more ruthless person than others.
Alfredo had been very kind to him for so many years, always protecting and raising him, but he no longer felt anything for him.
In fact, the only one he cared a little about was Yolanda.
As Jaime walked out the door, he saw a couple standing in front of him.
It was Umberto and Albina.
Umberto was wearing a black suit that gave him an attractive appearance. He was tall, standing like a green pine tree. But his eyes were extremely indifferent, as if he didn’t care about anything.
Albina wore a white designer shirt and a smoky purple bodice. She was a very sophisticated and gentle dresser, with a beautiful face and white skin.
Two extremely handsome and beautiful people, standing side by side, made the gloom in front of the guardhouse a little less glaring.
Especially in the case of Jaime, who was on crutches and appeared to be in bad shape. He was a handsome man who used to look quite handsome pretending to be gentle, but now looked a bit more subdued.
Standing in front of the two, she felt very inferior.
-Mr. Seco, what a coincidence.
Umberto greeted him nonchalantly, while holding Albina’s waist.
This contemptuous look made Jaime’s anger flare up. He clenched his teeth tightly and was slow to rein himself in:
-Mr. Santangel, why are you here? -Jaime let out a cold laugh. I don’t remember you having any relatives held here.
Umberto smiled at his words:
-Yes, Familia Santangel has never done anything illegal or criminal, so of course we don’t have any relatives locked up here. Unlike you… no, it was your lover. Both father and daughter are criminals.
Jaime’s face grimaced fiercely for a moment.
-Did I say it wrong? Are you here to see Yolanda or your useless ones?
Umberto’s words were full of mockery.
Although Jaime’s men had not confessed to him, they had been sentenced to prison for coercing that couple.
This time, Jaime got nothing either.
-Umberto, don’t get cocky! -Jaime finally couldn’t take it anymore and said angrily, “Why do you have to interfere in everything, just to go against me!
-Am I against you? -Umberto raised an eyebrow. You are thinking too much. I never go against the defeated. Jaime, how many times have you lost against me?
He looked at the anger building up on Jaime’s face and continued nonchalantly:
-Familia Santangel announced from the beginning that we would take down Grupo Carballal. Since Yolanda offended Albina and did many bad things, she was to blame. It was you who took the liberty to intervene and you had to do bad things for her. Of course I’m going to fix both of you.
