When she heard her name, Albina was surprised.
“We ran into unpleasant people!”
She hadn’t expected them to run into Jaime when they went shopping.
Albina looked at Umberto and saw that his look became indifferent, so she calmly held his hand to reassure him.
Umberto really hated Jaime.
Ever since he was a child, Jaime had always treated him as an enemy, but he couldn’t hurt him anyway, so he continued to ignore him.
Later, Jaime and Yolanda joined forces and repeatedly turned against him and Albina, but he forgave him once for Alfredo’s sake.
However, Jaime still dared to cheat. First he arranged a fake savior and then set the engagement date the day before his own, which was too awkward.
Umberto originally wanted to give Albina a perfect engagement party, but before the party was held, his good mood was ruined by Jaime.
So now he was very upset when he saw him.
In fact, Jaime and Angelina had already seen Umberto and the others as they entered the mall.
While Umberto was handing the bags to the staff, Olivia and Albina were still shopping, attracting a lot of attention.
So shortly after entering this store, Jaime used an excuse to bring Angelina in.
Seeing Umberto’s figure at the entrance of the store, Jaime couldn’t hide the malice in his eyes and looked down at his feet.
Because of Umberto, he was left with a foot injury that would not heal for the rest of his life and he would never be able to walk like a normal person.
Now he was wearing the shoes Alfredo made for him and at first glance he looked like a normal person. But if he walked faster or too much time passed, he still limped.
Although he was almost engaged to Angelina, he didn’t show his nasty side in front of her because he was afraid she would be upset.
At the thought of that scene, a violent emotion surged in Jaime’s heart.
When he entered the tent, he said aloud:
-What a coincidence, Mr. Santangel!
Umberto gave him a sidelong glance, looked down and played with Albina’s fingers.
Jaime was stunned for a moment, and gritted his teeth. Unconsciously, he gripped Angelina’s hand tighter.
***
Angelina looked at Umberto curiously, she had been abroad before and wasn’t quite sure about the situation in Sogen City. As soon as she got back, she listened to her parents and her new best friends talk about the people and things in Sogen City.
What she had heard most was about Umberto’s business. The people around her praised him a lot, so she was a bit curious about this man.
Yesterday, the Santangel Family announced Umberto’s engagement to a woman she had never heard of, and now there was a lot of gossip about Umberto and his mysterious fiance.
She, too, was curious about the two of them.
When Jaime called him, Angelina reacted and stared at Umberto and Albina.
As far as looks went, they were indeed as rumored. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, they were very well matched.
Albina had no intention of paying attention to Jaime either, but she was sensitive to the fact that Jaime’s fiance had been watching them.
She raised her head and was stunned to meet Angelina’s gaze.
Jaime was a bad man, very bad tempered, and a hypocrite, but his fiance seemed to make a good impression.
Her gaze was pure, looking at them at the moment only out of curiosity, without any other emotion.
Albina nodded unconsciously towards her as a greeting.
She hadn’t expected Angelina to be shy after crossing gazes with her. Especially after Albina greeted her, Angelina was a little nervous and greeted her enthusiastically.
Albina smiled, the fiance Jaime was quite cute.
In the past, when she was with Umberto, the girls she was with basically only focused on Umberto. Even though they knew his fiance was by his side, they ignored her and kept looking at Umberto.
When Angelina saw the two of them, she only looked at Umberto for a while, and kept looking at Albina after she raised her head.
This feeling of being liked by a girl was a little unbelievable.
Her greetings attracted the attention of the men next to her.
Umberto leaned towards her and asked in a low voice.
-Do you think she’s nice?
Albina nodded her head and whispered.
-I think she’s nice, it’s a pity she’s with Jaime.
It was a pity that such a simple and charming girl was with Jaime. Jaime should be with Yolanda, two bad people hurting each other.
Umberto squeezed her fingers, with a meaningful look.
-Don’t worry, their wedding won’t go well.
Jaime watched as Umberto and Albina ignored him, not even giving him a glance as he greeted Angelina, and became very angry.
-Lord Santangel, how dare you deliberately ignore me, have you no respect for the Seco Family? -he said angrily.
Umberto and Albina’s conversation was interrupted and they frowned as they looked at Jaime impatiently.
-You are half right, I don’t despise the Seco Family, I only despise you. I can represent the Santangel Family, but you cannot represent the Seco Family.
When he heard this, Jaime was even angrier.
Umberto was connoting him.
Umberto was now in charge of the entire Santangel Group. Sergio had already handed the company over to him some time ago.
But Jaime was not only under Alfredo’s control, he has to compete with Pedro. Even though Alfredo preferred him, he still had to follow his orders.
Jaime gritted his teeth and sneered.
-You ignore me because you’re jealous that my engagement party is a day before yours. It’s only a day before, you don’t have to be so petty and make a fool of yourself.
-If I were really petty, do you think you could still be here talking to me? Since you are saying this in front of me now, it seems you still don’t know how to behave -Umberto answered indifferently.
Jaime’s face got worse each time and his fingers tightened violently.
But he forgot that he was holding Angelina’s hand at that moment, and Angelina screamed in pain.
-Jaime, you’re hurting me, let go of me!
Only then Jaime reacted and quickly let go of her hand.
-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that.
Angelina’s scream took away the momentum Jaime had managed to build up.
At that moment, Olivia came out of the fitting room and was about to ask her son and future daughter-in-law to take a look at the clothes she was wearing, but she saw Jaime and his fiance.
Yesterday, due to the weird action of the Dry Group, Olivia hated Jaime very much, and did not expect to meet him here.
Olivia’s anger arose instantly and she moved towards Jaime to slap him.
Not only did Jaime not react, but not even Umberto and Albina did.
There was instant silence, and everyone looked their way.
After being slapped in public, Jaime was instantly enraged and unconsciously raised his hand, trying to hit back.
Noticing the scene, Umberto quickly rushed to grab his wrist.
Albina also rushed to pull Olivia behind her and glared at Jaime.
