Umberto and Albina looked at each other, they were a bit puzzled.
What exactly did the Seco Family do to make Olivia so angry?
Although Sergio and Daniel didn’t show it in an obvious way, their eyes were also full of annoyance and anger, and their faces were red with rage.
-What’s wrong? What did the Seco Family do?
What could be worse than giving away a fake savior, and they weren’t even that angry last night when they found out about this.
Sergio raised his head, holding back his anger.
-After the Santangel Group announced your engagement to Albina, the Seco Family also announced Jaime’s engagement to Angelina Pomar.
Albina was stunned for a while, but seeing Sergio getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, she hurried to calm him down.
-It’s all right, it doesn’t conflict with us anyway. Don’t get angry or you’ll damage your body.
Olivia angrily pounded the table and explained to Albina.
-If they had simply announced their engagement, we wouldn’t have bothered. After all, as powerful as we are, we can’t stop someone from getting engaged, but they announced the date a day before we did, do you think we can’t get angry at that?
When they didn’t announce the news of the engagement, neither did they. As soon as they announced this news, the Seco Family immediately announced the news of the engagement, and even moved it up a day, wasn’t this a deliberate action?
Albina immediately retracted her words of comfort, this strange action really made them uncomfortable.
-Alfredo’s desire to win is too strong, he has lost to me for so many years and always wants to beat me. I didn’t expect him to do anything in these matters, it’s so irritating.
Sergio complained, resenting Alfredo, and looked at Umberto.
-Why don’t we announce at his engagement party that Jaime is not his grandson to see if he can still be happy?
Although he said this, Umberto knew it was impossible for Sergio to have embarrassed Alfredo so much on that occasion.
But Sergio really was furious.
Umberto thought about it and said:
-Grandfather, I think this matter doesn’t have much to do with Alfredo. Even if he has a bad relationship with you, he couldn’t have deliberately chosen this moment, so I think it’s very likely that Jaime made the request.
Everyone knew that, ever since Jaime injured his leg, Alfredo had been extremely affectionate with him. He used to be strict with him, but now his standards had been greatly lowered and he was trying to give him a bright future in every way possible.
As long as Jaime begged him, even if he had a lot of worries about angering the Santangel Family, he would still agree to do it.
When Sergio thought about it, the anger dissipated a lot, but when he thought about Jaime, he was still a little angry.
-Jaime is so bad, no wonder I’m not his grandson. Alfredo’s son was excellent back then, how could he have such a malicious son?
Umberto could not understand Jaime’s confrontation with him since Alfredo introduced him to the public as the heir of the Seco Family.
He didn’t know if he had offended Jaime, but the two of them detested each other.
Jaime hated him even more than before, and it was no wonder he wanted to do everything he could to embarrass him.
An indifferent smile appeared on Umberto’s face as he looked at the elders of the Santangel Family who still didn’t have very good expressions and spoke.
-Don’t worry, Jaime’s engagement party won’t go off so easily.
When Olivia heard this, she looked at Umberto curiously.
-What’s your plan, are you trying to sabotage her engagement party? What can I do to help?
Albina looked at Olivia’s appearance, and covered her mouth to smile.
Olivia was really spiteful and now Jaime had become her main enemy.
Umberto looked at them and said:
-You will know when the time comes.
Although Olivia was very curious, Umberto had no intention of saying anything, so he didn’t ask any more. Anyway, there were not many days left.
Towards the end of the evening, as usual, Sergio went for a walk after dinner.
Umberto and Albina accompanied him.
Since Albina had made a name for herself at Paris Fashion Week, Sergio had been showing off to his neighbors every day during that time.
So everyone was very curious about Albina, and when they saw the three of them walking around, they greeted them.
But after greeting them, they did not leave immediately, but kept looking at Albina.
At first, Albina didn’t think anything of it, they had often seen her anyway, but their gaze was so strange and enthusiastic, it made Albina feel a little embarrassed.
But Sergio was still talking to the old man next to her, and hadn’t noticed her embarrassment.
It was Umberto who finally stepped in to ease the awkwardness.
Albina breathed a sigh of relief and went to whisper to Umberto when suddenly she saw a familiar figure looking in her direction not far away.
When she saw the face clearly, she was stunned for a while and tugged Umberto’s shirt, whispering.
-Umberto, look, it’s Alfredo, he’s watching us from over there.
Umberto followed her line of sight and saw Alfredo standing under a large tree.
He was alone, looking lonely. His face was full of seriousness and stubbornness, looking at Sergio in the crowd.
But he did not come closer after a long time.
In the past, even when he fought with Sergio, he was never afraid to approach.
Umberto narrowed his eyes and raised his head to stroke Albina’s long hair.
-He probably felt guilty.
This move by the Seco Family was a provocation to the Santangel Family. Although they quarreled, they had known each other for many years.
After doing such a thing for Jaime and hurting Sergio’s dignity, he feared Alfredo would also feel ashamed.
Perhaps his gaze was too intense and Alfredo seemed to sense something, so he turned his gaze to meet theirs.
He stood stunned for a while and then turned shakily, leaning on his crutches, and hurried away.
A man evidently so majestic and imposing, at this moment he looked like a very pitiful old man.
-Jaime holds the position of heir, but he is so indifferent to Alfredo -Albina felt a little sorry for Alfredo.
She was not prejudiced against Alfredo, but she disliked Jaime, a man who had done all sorts of bad things and who had taken the place of the grandson of the Seco Family by some vicious means.
Moreover, he often clashed with Umberto, but he never used decent business methods, but some despicable ones.
Albina became angry at the thought of this, and Umberto hastened to console her.
-Don’t be angry, we have Jaime’s weakness. If he goes on like this, he will soon disappoint his grandfather and then there will be no one to help him. I have already asked someone to find out the whereabouts of the true heir of the Seco Family, and I hope to have results soon.
When Alfredo was disappointed with Jaime and the true heir was found, Jaime would have failed completely.
Without the support of the Seco Family, he could not succeed.
Albina thought for a moment, patted his arm and sighed.
-You’re not only looking for your savior, but also the whereabouts of the heir of the Seco Family, it’s too difficult.
The problem was that there were no clues, the world was too big, they didn’t know how to find them, and they feared it would take a lot of work to find them.
-Tomorrow is Sunday, do you have any plans? -Umberto asked as he took her hand.
Unexpectedly, Albina was instantly excited.
-Aunt said she wanted to come with me to see my future studio.
Umberto was stunned for a moment.
-Yesterday I talked it over with the aunt and I’ve decided on the general details. At first I wanted to rent a workshop, but she told me that our family had many buildings and she helped me choose an apartment as my studio. I’ve been to see it and the location is great, it’s just too big and I wasn’t planning to do it on such a large scale – Albina explained.
Umberto smiled when he heard her say “our family”.
It seemed that Albina already considered herself a member of the Santangel Family, which was very nice.
-Let’s check it out tomorrow and change it if it doesn’t fit.
He thought about it, and suddenly looked at Albina with a seductive gaze, his voice was low and magnetic.
-Actually, the Santangel Group building also has unused offices, so you can choose one to use as a studio.
The more he talked, the more feasible it seemed to him.
-The Santangel Group’s location is great, the surrounding traffic is convenient, the environment is good. Most importantly, we’ll be able to commute to work together.
