-I feel a little ashamed,” Saul said with a face full of sadness. There’s nothing more I can do. Over the years, I failed in business and got into a lot of debt, so I came to Sogen City a few months ago and wanted to borrow money from my former partners, but I couldn’t get the money,” he sighed. When a person is in good times, these people are good to him, but when he is in bad times, no one helps him. Only when I heard someone talking about the search for the benefactor of the Santangel Family, I suddenly remembered what happened more than ten years ago.
His face turned red, as if he was saying something he shouldn’t have.
-I originally didn’t want to tell this story, but I had no choice.
There were truths and lies in what he was saying. He failed in business before and then was taken to Sogen City by Jaime. It was easy for Umberto to check it out.
But when Jaime contacted him, he did it secretly, so Umberto couldn’t find out.
Umberto’s face was expressionless after hearing this, so Saul didn’t know whether to believe it or not.
-What were you wearing that day? -Umberto asked suddenly.
Saul froze for a moment, then hurried to answer.
-As much as my clothes today, it was a gray suit.
Umberto froze. He was unconscious at the time, but he had been slightly awake for a few seconds, and because of the smoke and fire, he only vaguely saw a grayish-white color.
The memory only lasted a few seconds.
Before, he only thought the gray and white thing was smoke, but when Saul said it, that must have been the color of the clothes worn by the person who saved his life at the time.
-Mr. Santangel, I have said everything you have asked me, can you prove that I am the person who saved your life back then? -Saul asked with some impatience.
-Don’t rush yet, there was a staff member at the scene who was a witness, so he has yet to prove it -Umberto said calmly.
Saul’s fingers were clenched thinking that finally the most crucial part had arrived.
Mr. Seco had also told him that the Santangel Family had found a witness, a waiter at the hotel. But Mr. Seco also said that the waiter had only looked at him from afar and had not seen the man’s face.
On the contrary, Mr. Seco witnessed more things at that moment.
Even Mr. Seco thought he could pass off a fake as real, so he should be able to fool that witness as well.
-Ruben, have someone serve him some tea and snacks,” Umberto ordered and then said to Saul. It will take a while for that witness to arrive, so rest first. I still have things to attend to, I’ll see you later.
Saul nodded before Umberto left the meeting room.
Just as he left, the smile on his face disappeared.
When he saw Umberto leave, Ruben hurried to follow him and said:
-Mr. Santangel, am I right. This man can answer all answers that we have never made known to the public, and no one has ever been able to answer correctly before.
-It’s not that person!
Umberto sounded very sure.
Ruben froze, his face full of confusion.
“You’ve answered all the questions, so why is Mr. Santangel so convinced that it wasn’t?”
-Lord Santangel, how are you sure that he is not the one who saved your life?
-He answered too perfectly, as if he had recited the correct answer beforehand,” Umberto explained.
When Ruben heard Umberto’s explanation, his face filled with complications.
-Are you so sure he’s lying because he answered too perfectly? It seems a bit hasty, you always have to present evidence to disprove it.
-There is another reason.
-What is it?
-My intuition.
Ruben was speechless.
Umberto looked at his mute face, ignored him and continued walking towards his office.
That was more than ten years ago, but Saul remembered it too well, even the color of the suit. It sounded too fake.
More importantly, this person didn’t give him a very good feeling.
At first glance, he had a good temperament, with a face that gave the impression of being very straight, but when he relaxed, his eyes showed arrogance.
Ruben finally reacted from his daze and followed Umberto into the office.
-“I’ve already had someone investigate him and his whereabouts must not be false,” Ruben said as he handed over some information to Umberto. This is basic information about Saul.
Umberto took it, and when he saw that his daughter was Sandra, he snorted and directly left the information on his desk.
-This person is definitely a fake.
First it was Sandra, then Saul, the coincidence was too strange.
If Saul had come first, maybe she would have believed it.
During this period of time, his life was extremely boring, so Sandra didn’t stand a chance. The rich kid invited him in advance to her birthday party, and after he accepted, the news spread.
That person probably saw that he had a chance and couldn’t wait to let Sandra appear in front of him. But he never expected Albina to come back earlier, and it also turned out that Macos took her to that party.
So he exposed Sandra’s presence in advance.
Ruben was not clear what had happened at that party, but seeing that Umberto was so sure. It seemed that that person was not really the one who had saved him at that moment.
The witness did not take long to arrive at the Santangel Group.
Umberto took him into the living room and pointed directly to Saul.
-Was he the one who saved my life at that moment?
The witness looked carefully at Saul with a tense expression.
Saul felt a little nervous. Although Mr. Seco kept saying he looked like him, he wasn’t sure. After all, he knew it wasn’t the same person.
After a long while, the witness returned to Umberto’s side and said hesitantly:
-Mr. Santangel, at that time I only vaguely saw the person who saved you. The shape and size of this person’s body may match, and his face seems to be somewhat similar. But so much time has passed that I can’t be sure.
Umberto was about to let him think again when suddenly the person who had investigated Saul earlier returned and said to Umberto:
-Mr. Santangel, I heard that Saul was in Sogen City that day and he also appeared near that hotel that day.
When he finished speaking, the room fell into silence. Saul was overjoyed, and let out a fierce sigh of relief.
Umberto was deep in thought.
“Is this man really my savior?”
“Is it really a coincidence that he and Sandra are together?”
He couldn’t believe it.
At that moment, a commotion suddenly sounded outside the meeting room. Several reporters suddenly burst in, holding cameras directly and beginning live interviews with various people.
