Sandra lay on the floor breathing heavily, while the Santangels remained frozen in place and the doctor was too stunned to enter the room.
Umberto didn’t care about them. The only thing on his mind was what his mother had just said, that Miguel had left with a woman in his arms.
If Sandra was here, carrying Albina’s dress, then the woman Miguel had carried? Was Albina!
Umberto’s eyes turned red and he immediately called Ruben on the phone.
Ruben had been helping to prepare for today’s party. Just after he got home, he received a call from his boss and made a puzzled face.
“Now that the party is over, Mr. Santangel should be enjoying his time with his wife, why would he call me?”
Ruben sensed the situation was going badly. As soon as he got the call, he heard Umberto’s panicked voice.
-Ruben, Miguel has taken advantage of the chaos to take Albina. Find his trail immediately, make sure you find him as soon as possible! If you find any trace, ensure Albina’s safety.
After saying this, he hung up the phone directly.
Ruben stayed in the position to answer the phone and reacted two seconds later.
“Miguel has taken the bride at the engagement party!”
“How can he be so bold?”
Ruben immediately grabbed his clothes and ran out.
“This is an important matter, and if it’s not done right, I’m afraid things will go very wrong.”
He could never forget the frantic look on Umberto’s face the year Albina disappeared. He couldn’t let it all happen again.
After ending the call, Umberto called Camillo the next second.
Camillo received the call on the road and when he heard what it said, he slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road.
-What did you say? Miguel has taken Albina?! How is that possible? He couldn’t have been so bold. When he left, didn’t he go out the main entrance? Weren’t your parents at the door? The whole thing is ridiculous!
Camillo’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Umberto looked at Olivia.
Olivia hastened to answer him.
-I was at the door with your father. Miguel held his companion and said she was drunk. Because of the dress she was wearing and the fact that her hair covered her face and half of her face, we didn’t see her face clearly.
Sandra’s makeup and hair resembled Albina’s, and their clothes had been interchanged. They could not be so impolite as to approach Miguel and peel back the hair of the woman in his arms to get a closer look at her face.
The Santangels were anxious, aggrieved and blaming themselves for the fact that Michael had taken Albina in front of them.
They were too useless.
They both pressed their lips together tightly.
Umberto let out a sigh. He couldn’t blame his parents; it was all due to their negligence. He thought that when the party was over, there couldn’t be any accidents, and that was why he had left Albina alone at the banquet.
At that moment he thought that Albina was going to say goodbye to her friends and wanted to give her some space.
As a result of this oversight, something so ridiculous happened.
Umberto glared angrily at Sandra, who was on the floor trembling.
Sandra seemed to sense his gaze and trembled even more.
Olivia’s voice was so loud that Camilo heard it through the microphone and fell silent. He had to admit that Miguel had really taken and replaced the bride at the Santangel Family engagement party.
“Now things have gotten complicated!”
Camilo’s throat was dry and he was slow to speak.
-I’m sorry for Miguel’s mistake…..
-That’s enough! -Umberto’s voice contained a touch of irritation- -Of course this matter is Miguel’s fault, but we were all negligent. Now he is no longer a child and must take the consequences of what he did for himself.
Saying this, he took a deep breath.
-Camilo, I have always tolerated your brother, but if something happens to Albina this time, I will definitely not let him go. do you understand me?
Camilo knew he was wrong and didn’t dare to reply.
-Don’t worry, I will definitely find Miguel and make him apologize to the Santangel Family.
Camilo never expected Miguel to be so bold.
Camilo immediately informed his family what had happened. They were also very surprised and immediately went together to look for Miguel.
After arranging everything, Umberto turned his head and said to the Santangels, who were full of shame:
-Mom, Dad, don’t tell Grandpa about this. I’m worried he won’t be able to handle it at his age.
The Santangels were quick to nod.
-Don’t worry.
Only after these matters were settled did Umberto fix his eyes on Sandra again.
-Sandra, tell me honestly, where did Miguel go? Where did he take Albina?
His tone was extremely cold, and Sandra could not help but be afraid.
-I… I don’t know!
Sandra’s voice was hoarse. She had just been strangled by Umberto and her voice had not yet recovered.
Umberto’s look became even more terrifying. Sandra’s face was pale and she shook her head desperately.
-I really don’t know. Miguel has the secret of my work and he used it to threaten me that I must help him today, or else he will go to the school to expose me and expel me. I had no choice.
In fact, I was just being used. All I had to do was help Miguel with these matters and he never mentioned his plans to her.
Umberto looked at the woman with similar makeup to Albina’s and in her dress, and felt like kicking her for the disgust he felt.
Olivia rushed over, grabbed Sandra’s hair and slapped her twice in anger.
-Do you think that by being threatened you can do such hurtful things? This is Albina’s engagement party, do you know how much effort they’ve put in to be together? How can you do something like that?
Olivia felt bad every time she remembered Albina today, so full of anticipation that she even secretly shed tears.
Albina had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and the Santangel Family had also been preparing to give her a perfect engagement party. But it was all ruined by Miguel and Sandra.
Daniel looked at his wife’s upset and tearful appearance and took her in his arms.
-Don’t worry about Albina’s safety. Miguel won’t hurt her. That can be guaranteed.
This was clear to both Umberto and Olivia, because Miguel might even risk himself to rescue Albina.
Despite this, they were still uneasy.
Miguel was so madly in love with Albina that they did not know what he was going to do.
This was something no one could predict.
-I am also going to look for Albina in the places where Miguel might be.
Umberto was about to leave when he suddenly looked at Sandra on the floor and frowned.
-Watch her.
Olivia nodded and directly asked the maids to take her away.
Sandra was so weak that she was almost dragged away. When she was almost out of the room, she suddenly struggled desperately and her eyes burned as she looked up at Umberto.
-Mr. Santangel, I want to ask you something.
He spoke in a hoarse voice as he clutched desperately at the door frame.
-The lights weren’t on in the room a moment ago, the shape of my body was the same as Albina’s, and I was even wearing her dress. How could you instantly recognize that I wasn’t Albina!!!!
It was a question I had always wanted to ask. It was impossible for a normal person to recognize her in an instant under those conditions.
But Umberto avoided her.
Her original plan to take advantage of the chaos and make love to him had failed.
Umberto looked at her indifferently and replied:
-All of Albina’s toiletries, and even the cosmetics, are unique in the world. I myself had them specially mixed with her favorite scent. And you…
He thought of the image of the woman who rushed into his arms in the dark earlier, and became disgusted.
-You just smell of disgusting grease!
Then he said to his mother:
-Mom, have everything in the room changed! Including the door she knocked on!
With that said, she left.
