When Alfredo returned to the bedroom, Jaime also hobbled back to his room dragging his injured leg.
Coincidentally, there was only one wall between his room and Alfredo’s room.
This was because when he returned to the Seco family as a child, Alfredo was worried that he would be fearful, so he deliberately arranged the place, and now it turned out to be convenient for him to monitor it.
But now Jaime Seco has forgotten that, all he could think about was Alfredo’s change of attitude towards Pedro, and his displeasure when Alfredo just shook his hand.
He also finished hitting his injured leg, anxiety and unwillingness in the heart give birth to distorted emotions.
Jaime put on his headphones, just as Alfredo’s voice came from inside.
-Jaime and Guillermo are very close now, and it is very likely that they want to join forces. You should make people pay more attention to their movements, you should not let them join forces.
These words of Alfredo directly made Jaime nervous.
Indeed, he knew everything and acted calmly in front of him, but in fact he understood everything in his heart.
Secretary Diaz answered, paused for a few seconds and said:
-Mr. Alfredo, Jaime is not from the Seco family, if he stays in the Seco family and the Seco Group will be a time bomb sooner or later, I think it is better to deal with this as soon as possible. In addition, The reason for your previous illness was very strange, and it took a long time to find out who the killer was, the situation inside and outside is very serious. It’s easy to cause trouble, so it’s best to solve it one by one.
Hearing this, Jaime clenched his fingers tightly and scolded Secretary Diaz countless times in his heart, wishing he could run into the room and cut him to pieces.
At the same time, he prayed in his heart, hoping that Alfredo would not hear Secretary Diaz’s words. As long as he could be given a margin of time, he would have the ability to escape unscathed and steal a large portion of Grupo Seco’s profits.
But things didn’t always go the way you wanted them to, the headphones went silent for a few minutes and Alfredo’s deep voice rang out.
-Well, I will announce his identity to the public in a few days, Jaime cannot stay at Grupo Seco any longer. Secretary Diaz, have we heard from that boy recently? You have to hurry, try to find him in the next few days, cultivate him as soon as possible and then hand him over to Grupo Seco, my health is failing….
Jaime really couldn’t listen anymore, he was very angry, he took off his headphones and they fell on the floor. When he stepped on them, the headphones ripped apart in an instant and the prototype could not be seen from the ground.
He hated and feared in his heart, he was overwhelmed.
Alfredo wanted to reveal the truth that he was not the grandson of the Seco family!
“No! Absolutely not!”
Jaime could almost predict how many people would see his jokes if the news broke.
Umberto Santangel and Pedro Leoz with his mother, those people he despised before, would laugh at him in turn again.
This was even more terrible than the fact that he was limping.
He was crippled, but he could still hide it. Even if those people laughed at him, they only dared to talk about it behind his back, never in front of him. But if his identity was revealed, those people would have no scruples, and the Seco family would not be a mountain he could trust.
Jaime thought about it and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, his face was pale and heavy.
No, no, he couldn’t let Alfredo reveal the news. Originally, he wanted to join Guillermo to stimulate Alfredo and deliberately make him sick.
But now he could not wait for that moment, Guillermo had not yet responded, if Alfredo dared to expose it to him, he will be completely finished, and there will be no room to turn around.
Jaime’s expression gradually calmed and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
He calmed down for a moment, wiped the fragments of headphones on the floor and then opened the door.
He happened to see Secretary Diaz coming out of Alfredo’s room.
Secretary Diaz was taken by surprise when he saw Jaime, his gaze averted.
After Jaime heard those words, he saw his eyes again, which made him more determined.
He saw Alfredo’s coat in Diaz’s hand, With a kind smile on his face, he said:
-Secretary Diaz, is grandfather’s coat going to be washed?
-Eh, yes -the secretary did not expect Jaime to ask this, he was surprised for a moment and explained- Alfredo said that the clothes have been dressed for a long time, that it is a little hot and that the clothes have a peculiar smell.
Jaime scoffed in his heart, those were the new clothes he had just put on this morning, how could there be any peculiar smell? She feared Alfredo didn’t like his hand touching her.
Ruthless indeed.
Thinking of it this way, Jaime realized that after returning from the hospital, Alfredo wouldn’t let him touch him, wouldn’t even take him by the arm.
He gritted his teeth and forced a smile.
-Secretary Diaz still has something to do and I’m just free at home, so let me send the clothes to the laundry.
As he said that, he didn’t care if Secretary Diaz agreed or not, he just grabbed the clothes, turned around and walked toward the laundry.
With his back to Secretary Diaz, Jaime touched his sleeve and felt the button-shaped microphone, and smiled.
It looked like Alfredo didn’t find this, it was great, so he could tear it apart along with the clothes.
Jaime put the microphone in his clothes with a negative attitude, but Alfredo didn’t find it, which avoided the problem.
He couldn’t wait any longer, who knew if Alfredo would reveal his identity tomorrow on a whim, so tonight at the latest, he had to do it.
It so happened that after dinner, Alfredo obeyed the doctor’s order to drink the medicine, and the cook who was in charge of making the medicine had no defense against him.
Jaime threw the clothes into the laundry basket with a touch of ferocity in his eyes.
The waiting time was extremely long, even though Jaime had already made up his mind, when he actually made it, he was still a little uncomfortable.
This was different from the last time he administered the medicine. The medicine he took last time was to let the internal organs slowly deteriorate, it wouldn’t happen overnight, it would take time to build up. But this time he had to be precise, and kill Alfredo directly.
Jaime stayed in his room for a long time and did not come out until he felt it was almost time.
Looking into Alfredo’s room, the door was closed, so he should still be resting.
He turned down the hallway and went in the direction of the kitchen. On the way, he didn’t see Secretary Diaz, he didn’t know if Alfredo had sent him again or not.
But from the news he heard today, Alfredo had surely asked Diaz to find his grandson, who should not now be in the Seco family.
Everything was ready, except for this last item.
As Jaime thought about it, he was still a little excited, and before entering the kitchen, he could smell the food.
The meals are basically ready and were being kept warm.
Although the Seco family had a big business, they didn’t pay much attention to food and drink, Alfredo advocated even more frugality, and there was only one cook.
She was usually responsible for cooking the meals for Alfredo and Jaime, and the task was not too heavy.
The cook was young, her name was Clara, she was twenty-five years old this year, and she was the daughter of the former cook of the Seco family. She passed the nutritionist certificate, her mother recommended her to come to the Seco family, and she was responsible for Alfredo’s diet.
Alfredo trusted her a lot. When he was at home, he only ate the food she cooked and did not eat the rest, he was too cautious.
However, Jaime lifted the corner of his mouth, showing a smile.
Clara was his admirer.
She accidentally discovered this secret, never thought of attacking the old man before, and did not take it seriously. Besides, she didn’t have much interest in the cook.
He was a person who put interests first, and his wife should be someone who could bring him benefits. Jaime is not obsessed with beauty, but if he can achieve his goal, he doesn’t mind taking advantage of himself.
Although he was not as handsome as Umberto, he is considered kind and delicate, along with so many years of elite education, he had enough capital to attract the ladies.
At the age of twenty-five, Clara had been staying in the Seco family kitchen since she left society, so what perspective could she have?
Jaime had a relationship with Clara when Alfredo was in the hospital, just to wait for this, but he didn’t expect it to come in handy so soon.
-Clara, are you cooking?
As Clara was concentrating on cooking the soup, suddenly, a pair of large hands wrapped around her waist from behind.
She startled, like a frightened bunny, looking a little pitiful.
-Mr. Jaime, don’t be like that. Mr. Alfredo is already in the house, they can’t find us.
Jaime put his arms around her waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, felt her body was a little stiff and smiled.
-Don’t be afraid, I just got here, there’s no one in the living room. The surveillance in the kitchen broke down a few days ago and he hasn’t had time to fix it yet, don’t worry.
Clara lowered her head and the blush on her face spread to her earlobe, she looked extremely shy.
-What are you doing? -Jaime deliberately lowered his voice, with a hint of ambiguity.
-This is the pork rib and yam soup, drinking more soup is good for Alfredo’s health. Recently he has a bad appetite, this is his favorite soup and he should use more for dinner,” Clara whispered.
Jaime raised his eyebrows and nodded calmly.
-You’ve worked hard for Grandpa’s health. Come on, turn around and let me kiss you.
Without any explanation, he pulled Clara’s arm straight out, turned her around, stepped forward to support her body and pressed her whole body against the stove.
-No, Mr. Jaime, I’m still cooking the soup -Clara closed her eyes and pushed his chest with her hand.
-It’s okay, it takes a long time to cook the soup, and now you don’t need to look at the soup all the time.
Although he was talking to Clara, his eyes were fixed on the pot.
As he hugged Clara, his arm reached behind her, grabbed a handful of white powder and sprinkled it all over the pot.
