When Jaime was at work, Secretary Diaz hurriedly carried the bag of files to Alfredo’s study.
The old man had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw him, he asked him directly:
-Did the result come out?
The secretary said nothing and handed him the investigation report directly.
Seeing his expression, Alfredo became desperate. When he took the bag, his hands trembled slightly.
After reading the analysis report, he was silent, leaning on the back of the chair.
The secretary was very worried and called him carefully:
-Sir, are you all right?
-Haha,” Alfredo smiled softly, but then the laughter grew louder and crazier until he burst into tears.
His face was full of wrinkles. He was a thin little old man, whose temples were white. His waist, which had always been straight, also drooped and his mind already sank.
His eyes filled with tears.
The secretary was a little sad when he saw him.
After a long time, Alfredo slowly calmed down. He wiped his tears and spoke in a hoarse voice:
-This is the child I raised myself. How fierce he is!
Pedro quickly consoled him:
-Sir, don’t be sad. Jaime is just an outsider. You don’t have to see him as your grandson. He came here at the age of eight, that’s why his personality could not be totally changed by education. This is his nature.
-But he wants him to die,” Alfredo said, trembling with his sad expression.
Even if he found out what Jaime had done before, he still left him a part of his property so he could survive.
But Jaime wanted him to die.
How could he do that?
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, his secretary hurried and his brain worked quickly. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.
-Sir, don’t be sad. You still have a grandson who looks a lot like your son, and even has the same movements. I think he is also a kind person and will take pity on you if we find him.
After so many years serving in this family, the secretary already knew Alfredo’s taste very well and knew how to comfort him. Hearing his words, Alfredo felt much better.
-You are right, Luis’ son must be as excellent as he is. As for Jaime, he is an ungrateful dog.
After saying that, Alfredo looked coldly at the secretary.
-Since he has thought of killing me, I will do whatever he wants.
Alfredo gestured for him to come closer and whispered something to him.
The secretary’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
-All right, I’ll fix it now.
The old man finally decided to teach Jaime a lesson. The secretary was happier than before.
The person he hated the most was Jaime, so he couldn’t wait to see his bad luck.
In the following days, as Jaime said, he had dinner with the old man every night and delivered medicine to him. The chef also brought him herbs a few times.
Alfredo and his secretary secretly changed the potion so no one would know and then he drank it in front of them.
Jaime was also a suspicious person. But when he saw with his own eyes that Alfredo took the herbs and noticed that his face was getting whiter and whiter, he relaxed a little.
On that day, when he drank medicine, Alfredo couldn’t help coughing covering his chest, and his breathing was a little heavy.
Jaime stood behind him and lightly tapped his back.
After his coughing stopped, he sighed deeply.
-Grandson, my body has been getting worse and worse recently. I had a physical two days ago. The doctor said my liver function has deteriorated, and I’m afraid I won’t live long.
Concerned, Jaime replied:
-Don’t say that. You are in good health. I can’t wait for you to see me get married and have children.
Alfredo rubbed the rim of the bowl without saying anything.
When Jaime thought he would not speak, Alfredo replied:
-I don’t have much time anyway. This medicine is too bitter. I don’t want to take it anymore.
Jaime looked surprised and frowned.
-Don’t say words like that, didn’t the doctor say that these medicines are also good for your health? You can recover quickly with the herbs.
Alfredo’s eyes darkened. He wanted to give Jaime one last chance, but he didn’t accept it.
-You’re right. I have to get better soon.
Alfredo drank the medicine in his hand and ate a piece of sugar to relieve the bitterness in his mouth.
Seeing Alfredo relax, Jaime swallowed saliva.
-I’ve been idle for a long time, but I don’t want to go on like this in the company. Can you…?
He didn’t dare express what he wanted.
Alfredo raised his head and looked at him.
-I wanted you to rest well.
Jaime was grateful, but he scoffed in his heart.
He did not believe it.
-But since you asked for it yourself, I’ll leave one of the projects to you. Pedro already has a lot of work and is too stressed.
Although he gave him only one project, it was also a step to victory. Jaime was not displeased and quickly nodded.
-Great! I won’t let you down.
He was too excited, but he didn’t notice Alfredo’s eyes darkening.
When Jaime returned to the company, Pedro’s assistant handed him the project materials mentioned by Alfredo.
To keep his promise, he locked himself in the company and worked hard. When he was about to finish the preparation, suddenly there was bad news.
Alfredo became ill. They said he fainted in the studio and when his secretary found him, he was already unconscious, so she called an ambulance to take him to the hospital, and he was still in the emergency room.
Jaime roared in concern over the phone. After hanging up, a cold smile appeared on his fierce face.
Finally, the drug worked. It was possible that no one could save him this time.
If he could not wake up, Jaime would be the sole heir, which was also accepted by Alfredo at the banquet.
Jaime stood up excitedly, disarranged his clothes and was about to run out of the office.
He had to show concern for his grandfather in front of all the employees.
But before he got out of the office door, someone rushed in. Without saying a word, he punched Jaime in the face.
-Pedro, are you crazy?
The person who came in was Pedro. His eyes were red and full of tears, but his expression was very angry, which made his temples burst into tears.
-Jaime, did you do it?
She asked him directly without Jaime explaining.
Knowing what he was saying, Jaime was afraid, but he quickly calmed down and looked confused.
-What are you talking about?
Then he quickly stood up and said angrily:
-I don’t care what you ask, you suddenly ran into my office and hit me. what is the meaning of this?
Peter clenched his fingers, fierce blue veins appeared on his hands. He was too angry.
-Don’t lie to me. Why did Mr. Alfredo get sick all of a sudden? Doesn’t it have something to do with you?
Jaime was oblivious to this and said angrily.
-Pedro, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking? How can I have anything to do with his illness?
Pedro stared at him.
-His health was fine. How could he suddenly faint? I don’t understand.
Jaime wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by Pedro.
-You had complained about Mr. Alfredo saying that he valued your brother more. Then he got sick and was hospitalized. Why is there such a coincidence? Do you swear this has nothing to do with you?
