Albina slept late and woke up slowly.
She felt that she was weak and lay in bed lazily.
She only got out of bed when Umberto called her to remind her to have lunch. While she went to wash up, she made a video call with him.
Now she didn’t care about her image in front of Umberto. With her hair down and her eyes half-curled, she brushed her teeth and washed her face sleepily.
Umberto was originally in a very bad mood about the Saul affair, but once he saw Albina’s charming appearance, he instantly flashed a smile and his eyes were full of tenderness and affection.
Ruben settled Saul and was about to inform Umberto, until he saw her happy face as she looked at her phone.
Ruben greeted him cautiously.
-Mr. Santangel?
Umberto heard him and resumed his previous indifference when he raised his head.
Only when Ruben saw him like this did he let out a sigh of relief. Surprisingly, he felt that his indifference put him at ease.
-Mr. Santangel, everything is settled. I’ve had people keep an eye on Saul, following him wherever he goes, and something has been implanted in his phone so that whenever someone contacts him, we’ll be the first to know.
Umberto nodded.
-Well done.
Although he didn’t know who had instructed Saul or what his purpose was in posing as his savior, it was always more reassuring to keep an eye on him.
The two were talking when the sound of running water rang from Umberto’s phone, along with the sound of washing his face, and then Albina’s voice came out.
-Umberto, who is Saul?
Only then did Ruben realize that Mr. Santangel was on a call with Albina.
“No wonder he was smiling so softly just now.”
Ruben immediately stepped back, making room for the two of them.
Umberto explained the day’s events to Albina.
-The woman we met earlier at the club was his daughter, so I suspect her identity, but I can’t find any evidence at the moment.
Albina listened and reflected:
-The hotel surveillance from back then has burned out, and you can only see some of the nearby stores. There is very little surveillance from more than ten years ago that can be preserved, but the figure of Saul appeared in the surveillance….
The more he talked, the more he thought it was too much of a coincidence. An idea suddenly occurred to him and he said to Umberto:
-Could it be that someone also obtained those surveillance videos earlier and deliberately found a person similar to him to pose as your rescuer?
Umberto stood up from his chair and his eyes sparkled as he looked at Albina with pride.
-How clever! Indeed, that is possible. I’ll have someone check it out immediately, I guess we’ll have news soon.
He had never been able to understand it before, but after Albina pointed it out, it suddenly all made sense.
After handing over the matter, Umberto watched her sitting in front of the dressing table, concentrating on taking care of her skin. She looked very pretty and lovely.
As she smeared the products on her skin, she raised her eyebrows with proud eyes.
-Of course! My parents say I’ve been smart since I was a little girl.
Umberto looked at her and thought she looked especially pretty.
She wasn’t modest at all.
-Don’t cook later, I’ve ordered take-out for you.
Albina paused in her movements, looked at the screen and laughed.
-Umberto, I used to cook a lot, but I haven’t since I’ve been with you. I’m afraid when the time comes, I won’t be able to without you.
-Then don’t leave me. Stay by my side forever,” Umberto said. Your parents wouldn’t even let you cook when they were alive. I will treat you well.
Albina listened to him and was moved to the point that tears almost slipped out. To hide it, she said deliberately:
-How boring it will be to be alone with you in this life. In my next life, I will have to meet you later and get to know other men.
-No way!
Umberto gritted his teeth and stared at her, but his eyes were very soft and not threatening at all.
Albina was not afraid of him and smiled.
As the two laughed and joked, Albina’s food arrived and the man sent by Umberto returned.
As Albina ate, she heard Umberto talking to his man.
-Who else, besides us, transferred the previous surveillance?
The man ran very fast and gasped:
-It was the men of Grupo Seco!
Now the matter was clear.
It was Jaime who did it! Pedro held no grudge against them, and although Alfredo was somewhat displeased with Umberto, he wasn’t despicable enough to do it, so it could only be Jaime.
Albina swallowed the rice in her mouth and cursed.
-He’s a scoundrel!
First, he sent someone to seduce Umberto while she was away, and then he even got her father together to pose as Umberto’s savior.
This was a despicable tactic.
After Umberto let the people leave, he heard Albina’s exasperated voice and said calmly:
-Don’t get angry. Jaime has always liked to antagonize me.
“He hurt us before and ended up taking a very big loss. But he dares to attack us again. This man really doesn’t want to live.”
Umberto was thoughtful.
-I guess he must know that it was me who booby-trapped his car, that’s why he hates me so much.
Jaime had attacked him repeatedly, and although he had been taught a lesson, according to his character, he could take it for a while and would definitely want revenge later.
This time, the reason he was so eager to do something was probably because he hated him so much.
-You set him up in the car, but if he had left town honestly, the car wouldn’t have been a problem.
Albina favored Umberto, muttering.
Umberto smiled and looked at her with soft eyes.
-But he doesn’t believe it. He’s always liked to speculate about others with great malice and he’s vindictive.
“If Albina hadn’t heard about Saul and raised that question, it might have taken her a long time to discover that it was Jaime who was behind the trick.”
Umberto thought, frowning.
Albina was eating slowly, and when she observed him thinking about something with a serious face, she asked him:
-What is the difficulty you have encountered, why are you frowning like this?
Hearing her question, Umberto said what was on his mind:
-Although we know it was Jaime’s doing, we have no evidence to prove it. These are just our guesses.
He had not caught Jaime in contact with Saul, he had only checked the surveillance. If Jaime wanted to slip away, there could be countless reasons.
As long as they strongly denied it, there was nothing they could do with these two even if they knew the truth.
The evidence Saul provided also indicated everywhere that he was the most compatible of those who had come to the Santangel Group so far.
-Well, we’d better find out the real savior quickly,” Albina sighed, “As long as that savior shows up with proof, we’ll be able to unmask Saul.
As for Jaime, they had a card strong enough to bring about his destruction.
When Umberto heard what Albina said, he shook his head and sighed.
-It’s been more than ten years, if that man was going to show up he would have done it long ago. Either he doesn’t know we’re looking for him, or maybe he’s already had an accident.
Albina nodded and suddenly thought of something.
-Umberto, what do you think Jaime’s real purpose is!
