Albina looked at Angelina on the stage, head bowed coyly, and felt increasingly sorry for her.
“How could such a simple girl marry that guy?”
“How could the Pomar family marry their daughter to him if he didn’t pretend to be a husband in love?”
Umberto also looked at Jaime on stage with dark eyes and sneered.
Jaime has been putting on a show since he returned to the family, living with a false face for so many years that even he didn’t know his real face. Just by watching the way he acted in his fight with Pedro, you could tell that in his mind, he already thought of himself completely as the young master of the Seco family.
-Why isn’t he coming yet? -Albina looked anxiously toward the door, her fingers gripping Umberto’s large hand.
It seemed that Jaime was almost finished, and as long as Angelina said a few more words, the betrothal ceremony would be completed in the presence of everyone.
At that moment, Albina suddenly saw Santiago sneak through the door and make an OK gesture in the direction of the two of them.
Albina froze for a moment and heard Umberto’s voice above her head.
-He’s here.
As soon as his words fell, a middle-aged woman rushed through the doorway.
-Jaime, you say you love the woman in front of you. And my daughter? Why did you abandon her?
Albina’s eyes lit up and her fingers tightened around Umberto with a look of excitement.
Yolanda’s mother did arrive and made a very powerful entrance, just as Jaime was making his declaration of love.
This voice caught the attention of the guests present and everyone moved their eyes from the stage to Yolanda’s mother.
In the past, before the Carballal family was destroyed, the woman used to participate in parties, and most of those present knew her.
After the accident of the Carballal family, she had not appeared in front of people again, and now she was appearing after a long time, which was really very surprising.
The clothes she was wearing were of an unknown brand, very simple, without any jewelry that she used to have, and she was very emaciated. Having not undergone regular maintenance for a long time, she looked as old as a normal middle-aged woman.
At this moment she was glaring angrily at Jaime, shouting as she angrily stormed towards the stage.
-Jaime, you bastard, my daughter gave you everything and handed you a lot of Carballal family resources. But not only did you not protect her, you didn’t protect the Carballal family either, and you left her in jail. While she suffers, you get engaged to another woman. How can you be so cruel? Now that my daughter is not here, I, as a mother, must do her justice. Jaime, you have to give me an answer!
Although the woman was in a frantic state, her words were very clear, and she very logically revealed Jaime’s relationship with her daughter.
Many of the guests had heard about Jaime and Yolanda’s affair, and had only commented on it privately because Yolanda’s mother had not shown up, but now she had not only shown up, but had pointed it out in public.
How would the Seco family react and how would the Pomar family react when they found out?
With this in mind, everyone turned their attention to the stage.
Jaime held the microphone and looked at Yolanda’s mother with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
Alfredo was even trembling with rage, he pointed at the woman and said angrily:
-Where did this crazy woman who talks nonsense here come from? Expel her.
However, no one entered. The bodyguards in the hall and at the entrance had disappeared.
-Alfredo, I didn’t see any guards when I entered and no one stopped me. This engagement ceremony was so rushed, I’m afraid you didn’t have time to properly train your bodyguards,” the woman said smugly as she looked at Alfredo.
These words made the old man stagger for a moment, with an extremely pale face.
In fact, to compete with the Santangel family, Jaime had deliberately announced the engagement a day before the Santangel family. And for the sake of the circumstances of the bride and groom’s families, there were many things that needed to be prepared, and they had made proper arrangements in all other respects, but they had neglected security.
It gave this woman the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
While the scene was stalled, a sudden “click” sounded.
Everyone followed the sound and met the dumbfounded eyes of the press team.
The sound of the “click” was like a signal, and the press team woke up to a sudden flurry of images.
Who knew there would be an accident at the engagement site? That was going to shock the public.
What kind of headline should I write?
No matter what the headline was, the fact was that Jaime had an affair and her ex-mother-in-law was causing a ruckus at the engagement party.
Jaime had always been gracious and modest in public, and the rumors about him had been mostly positive, so this news was very encouraging to everyone.
Most importantly, the public heat from the Carballal Group incident had not yet died down.
Yolanda was also engaged to Umberto and tomorrow was also Umberto’s engagement day.
Wow, what a complicated relationship. But it was the complicated and twisted stories that the netizens loved.
The reporters went over this in their minds and all winked at their cameras to shoot harder.
Alfredo and the others also remembered all this and rushed to call people to stop those reporters.
At that moment, the Seco family’s group of bodyguards finally rushed back, they were out of breath and their foreheads were covered with sweat as they said to the man:
-Sir, just now we have fallen for the diversionary tactic and have been lured elsewhere…..
Before he could finish his words, the old man interrupted them directly and pointed to the journalists standing next to him.
-What are they still standing there for? Stop them and erase all the videos they just captured.
The bodyguards stepped forward and the reporters were surrounded. Seeing the Seco family’s anger, the reporters did not dare to anger them in public and could only hand over their various pieces of equipment.
Alfredo finally breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze sank with infinite majesty as he swept the various media outlets sternly.
-My friends in the media, I don’t want any news to come out about today’s incident and I expect you all to help me.
All the equipment had been turned in, so the reporters could not broadcast the news even if they wanted to. They looked at the old man and listened to what he had to say, but dared not speak even if they felt anger.
The guests, seeing the man’s strong side at this moment, did not speak either, and the room fell silent.
-Umberto, did you forget that there was a live broadcast? -Albina approached Umberto and whispered.
-Where does Alfredo know anything about the live broadcast? But seeing Jaime, I guess he has already reacted -Umberto squeezed her hair and curved his lips in a smile.
Hearing these words, Albina looked towards the stage and saw Jaime, who was hurrying down towards the stage anxiously.
The person conducting the live broadcast was arranged by Jaime, probably before the wedding banquet, and he feared any eventuality, so he did not use the press and media, but the people of the Seco family.
-That scene from a moment ago, was it broadcast live? -He hurried to approach the man and asked him with a somber face.
-Just when that woman burst in, I sensed something was wrong and turned off the live broadcast, but because she burst in so abruptly, it may not have been so timely and only a few words escaped.
That person was unconsciously shuddering at being looked at by the somber eyes of his own master.
And even if it had not come to light, the sudden shutdown in the middle of his live broadcast would surely cause a lot of speculation.
This time, no matter how the Seco family tried to cover it up, there was no way to hide what happened today.
