As soon as Umberto and Albina left, Olivia called Albina and took her to meet some guests she had not seen before.
Watching them leave, Umberto’s eyes turned cold again, and he made some of the people who were about to approach to talk to him stop.
Umberto saw Camillo who was talking to Albina’s companions, and immediately approached and pulled him into a corner without saying a word.
-Umberto, why are you so rude? My shirt is all wrinkled.
Camillo straightened his clothes, before he could finish his words, he met Umberto’s somber gaze.
He froze for a moment and asked him cautiously:
-What’s the matter with you, who made you so angry?
He thought that Jaime had not come today, and no one from the Seco Family had approached. So it shouldn’t be the people from Familia Seco.
-Of course it’s because of your younger brother! -Umberto said angrily.
-Miguel? -Camilo felt a little confused. What happened to him?
Thinking of something, his face changed radically.
-Did he go to bother Albina again?
-It’s not that,” Umberto said, pointing in Miguel’s direction. Look for yourself.
They were in a rather secluded position, but it was the right one to get a good view of the whole scene. Camilo looked in the direction Umberto pointed and saw Miguel and the girl in the pink dress following him.
-Who is that girl? I came here with Miguel today, he didn’t bring anyone else,” Camilo said puzzled.
-Look at that woman’s face!
At that moment, Sandra happened to raise her head to talk to Miguel, completely revealing her face.
-When did this person appear? She even dares to follow Miguel. No wait, when did Miguel meet Sandra? -Camilo said with surprise.
-And you’re asking me? -Umberto gave him a cold look- -You are Miguel’s brother, why don’t you know anything about him? Sandra has bad intentions and she is Saul’s daughter, which means she is most likely Jaime’s people too. How dare you feel comfortable putting a woman like that next to Miguel?
-I really don’t know how Sandra has met Miguel, it’s my negligence….
Camilo’s eyes became very complicated when he saw that Sandra’s face was extremely similar to Albina’s, and he said with doubt:
-Umberto, do you think Miguel still loves Albina and that’s why he takes Sandra as a substitute because she looks like her?
Once these words came out, Umberto’s expression became even colder.
Earlier, when Miguel had been doused with acid to save Albina and was lying in the hospital, he said that he didn’t love her anymore, but Umberto had sensed that something was wrong with Miguel’s expression.
Besides, just now, when he saw Miguel’s eyes staring at Albina, he had a suspicion in his heart.
Now from Camilo’s words, he simply could not deny that Miguel really still loved Albina.
Seeing Umberto very angry, Camillo realized that he didn’t say anything good and hurried to say:
-It shouldn’t be like this. Miguel’s body has improved and there is no more of what happened before, so he should forget her completely. He even went out to play for a few months…. See Miguel didn’t have any physical contact with Sandra, they must be just ordinary friends.
Umberto took a deep breath and said to Camilo:
-No matter what Miguel has in mind for Sandra, anyway, today’s engagement party can’t go wrong. You are responsible for keeping an eye on him, don’t let him out of your sight.
-Okay, don’t worry. I’m also worried that Sandra doesn’t have good intentions, I will definitely keep a good eye on Miguel.
After saying that, Camilo walked towards Miguel.
Umberto let out a sigh. With Camilo watching, nothing should go terribly wrong today.
After today, when the Saul matter was resolved, he would have to deal with this matter properly with Miguel.

At this moment, Santiago was absentmindedly holding his glass of wine, his eyes kept looking in Ariana’s direction.
It had been a long time since he had seen Ariana, and when he arrived at the banquet today, he knew Ariana must also be there, so he had purposely groomed himself very well, thinking there was a chance they would be together again.
However, it had been almost half an hour since he had arrived here and he had pretended to have no intention of approaching Ariana countless times, but was ignored by her.
Santiago lowered his head at the thought of this and the corners of his mouth curved into a bitter smile.
Ariana was so cruel that she didn’t even leave him a souvenir, she even removed the flowers and plants from the balcony.
When Ariana was talking to Morena, Emily suddenly pinched her arm and winked at her.
-Ariana, that man was looking at you just now. Is he in love with you?
Ariana looked absent-mindedly and met Santiago’s eyes, but he didn’t even change his countenance and looked away.
On the contrary, Santiago’s eyes fluttered.
-“Being a rich young man with extravagant looks, I didn’t expect him to remain a bit pure,” Emily sighed.
-I forgot to tell you, he’s my ex-boyfriend,” Ariana said lightly.
When these words came out, Emily and Morena froze for a moment.
“Ariana, who has always been cold and distant, does she really have an ex-boyfriend?”
-Have you two been together before? -Emily asked.
-Yes, together for several months,” Ariana said, remembering what had happened before with a somewhat distant feeling.
It turned out that she could already talk about the relationship quite easily.
It hadn’t been that long since they had officially broken up, but in just such a short period of time she could already heal all the wounds.
Now she could look at Santiago as if she were looking at a stranger, without love or resentment. Not a single movement from him could affect her emotions.
-My personality is very cold and not suitable for a relationship,” Ariana sighed.
Emily looked at Santiago again and seeing that he was still looking at Ariana, she said softly:
-But that person still seems to like you.
-But I don’t like him anymore. As long as we don’t see each other for a long time, when a little more time has passed, he will forget about that relationship,” Ariana said.
After leaving him, it became more and more clear to her that if in a relationship she was not herself, then she was not the right one.
Like her and Santiago, in that relationship, they both forgot how they were originally.
