When Clara heard this, she raised her head to look at him and suddenly smiled.
-Sir, don’t you understand yet?
Jaime was stunned for a moment, suddenly realizing something he hadn’t just noticed.
The Clara in front of him was not at all the same girl who blushed and looked shy when she spoke in front of Jaime. There was no fluctuation in her eyes, and she even seemed a little indifferent. Looking at him, there was no friendliness in her eyes either.
Suddenly, he became a little nervous.
-You…
Clara smiled coldly behind Alfredo and said disdainfully:
-Sir, how could I betray Alfredo for you? By the way, I forgot to tell you, there is a miniature monitor installed in front of the kitchen stove. I just need to look at the surveillance to know if you have drugged him or not.
Jaime’s whole body was tense and his face was pale.
He looked at Alfredo, then at Guillermo, who suddenly came here to eat, and Pedro and his mother, then he was violently frightened.
If he was feeling well, he should have been set up.
Jaime stared at Alfredo and found that his eyes were indifferent with a look of insight, and finally confirmed.
-Grandpa, are you setting me up to expose myself on purpose?
He didn’t pretend now, he asked thus gritting his teeth.
-Clara couldn’t have betrayed you, so when I deliberately approached her earlier, were all her reactions an act? Was she under your control? And the hospitalization? Was your illness also an act? You really are thoughtful.
Alfredo opened his eyes and gave her an expressionless look.
-Don’t call me grandfather, I don’t have a grandson as ruthless as you.
These words completely broke the relationship between them, Jaime pursed his lips without speaking, his eyes reddened as he looked at Alfredo.
The room was silent, only Stephanie didn’t know what happened, looking at this and that.
-What happened? What are you talking about?
Pedro smiled coldly and grabbed Stephanie’s arm to explain.
-Mom, this Jaime is not Uncle’s son, he is the adopted son who deliberately took his name and entered our family in place of my real cousin, enjoying our family’s resources and also wanting to take over the Dry Group. He is very ambitious.
Stephanie was surprised and looked at Jaime with a face of disbelief.
-Are you an imposter?
Her voice trembled with astonishment and excitement.
The person she had secretly fought and hated for so many years was an imposter. She hated him so much when she thought of that impostor stealing all of Alfredo’s love, stealing his son’s position and pocketing what should have been his.
Then it occurred to him that if Jaime was an imposter, would his son be able to take over Grupo Seco again?
No wonder Alfredo had been so nice to Pedro lately, did he intend to do the same?
Stephanie thought many things for a moment, and even the joy in her heart was greater than her anger.
Jaime also heard Pedro’s words and glared at Alfredo.
-Well, Pedro knows too, you even told Pedro about it, so I’m the only one who is kept in the dark, being fooled by you guys.
Seeing his sarcasm against Alfredo, Secretary Diaz stepped forward and scolded.
-Jaime, don’t play innocent. You have kept it from us for over twenty years and you have enjoyed Alfredo’s love and care for over twenty years for nothing, so who are you to complain about him?
After saying that, he smiled coldly.
-That day, weren’t you peeping at the door? You knew we knew your true identity, you deliberately pretended not to know, you bought herbs for Alfredo and poisoned his medicine. If Alfredo had not recognized your poisonous plan, he could have fallen into the trap long ago!
Secretary Diaz said and pulled out a drug ID.
-This is the ID of the poisonous drug you served, which we discovered accelerates kidney failure. From the first bowl you brought, we went to have it identified, and until the day before Alfredo deliberately faked his illness and was hospitalized, the medicine you sent contained this poison. Jaime, you are really sinister, you dare to kill the grandfather who has raised you for so many years, you are more ruthless than anything, you are a demon!
Pedro knew that Alfredo was pretending to be sick and he also suspected that Jaime was drugging him, but he did not know the details. When he heard what Secretary Diaz said and read the identification of the drug, he was shocked.
Then, unable to control his emotions, he lunged at him, grabbed Jaime’s neck and punched him fiercely in the face.
-Beast! You dare to poison Alfredo?
And each time the ration was bigger, if Alfredo had drunk it, he would have been more than unconscious and his internal organs would have failed, he could have died for real.
Pedro’s punch was so strong that it made Jaime stagger and he almost fell to the ground.
The corners of his lips were bruised and he was even bleeding, looking miserable.
Jaime steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corners of his lips and smiled coldly.
-Is it my fault? I was preparing for an outing. I don’t know where he got the information that he knew who I was and immediately went after his own grandson and had to give up on me. If it were you, would you be willing?
Jaime looked at Pedro.
-Back then, when I returned to the Seco Family. When I went back to the Seco Family and they sent you back to the Leoz Family, were you willing? Don’t you think I was justified in doing what I did?
-You! -Pedro stared at him, trembling with rage- -Yes, I was angry and jealous, but I never tried to get him to kill you, nor did I try to get him to kill Alfredo.
-That’s because you’re young and wouldn’t dare. And you’ve only been bred for eight years, not that Alfredo has affirmed you as heir,” said Jaime, looking at Alfredo, in an indifferent voice. But I am different, I have been raised by Alfredo for more than twenty years, I have long ago decided in my heart that I can take over the Seco Group, and Alfredo has also assured me many times that I am the heir of the Seco Family, but suddenly he wants his own grandson and wants to give me up, how can I be willing? Alfredo, you have wronged me, so you can’t blame me!
When Jaime said this, he gritted his teeth and looked like he deserved it.
Alfredo frowned, he didn’t think Jaime was so paranoid and shameless, it was really bad.
Secretary Diaz was so angry that he really wanted to punch him.
-Jaime, what nonsense are you talking about? The reason Alfredo recognized you as heir to the Seco Family was because you had deceived him, supplanting the identity of the real lord of our family. These guarantees were given to the real son of the Seco Family, not to an impostor!
Jaime thought for a while and then began to argue.
-It is true that I have supplanted my identity, but it is your fault that a family as big as yours has not even checked. Since you have recognized me, then you have to be responsible.
Secretary Diaz was so angry that he could not say anything, he did not expect Jaime, of normally kind appearance, to say such things.
When everyone was angry, Guillermo, who had said nothing, suddenly spoke up with a smile on his face.
-Jaime, have you forgotten that this is the Seco Family? This is not the impotent family you know, who can only admit this loss even if you bully them.
Alfredo raised his head and clapped his hands twice, suddenly many men in black came through the door and surrounded Jaime.
Jaime took two steps back, looking nervous.
-Grandfather, what are you doing?
-You talk too much nonsense! -Alfredo spoke indifferently, “I don’t remember teaching you to look like a scoundrel, so I can see that you carry this kind of inferiority in your bones.
Saying this, he no longer regarded Jaime as a son of his upbringing. He had let him down completely.
More than twenty years of emotion had disappeared from the moment he had tried to poison him.
