-Grandfather! -Jaime shouted in a trembling voice, his fingers dipping into his pocket and tapping the screen of his phone.
Alfredo noticed his movement and smiled coldly.
-Jaime, you don’t need to waste time, your people are already under control and it’s impossible to save you.
Jaime was stunned and looked incredulously at Alfredo.
-Do you think I’ve been idle all this time I’ve been pretending to be sick in the hospital? -Alfredo took a step closer to look at him, “You were probably too confident in yourself, thinking everything was fine after you poisoned me, that you didn’t even look behind you.
Alfredo and Secretary Diaz knew from the beginning that Jaime had his own people trained in secret, and during his stay in the hospital, they paralyzed Jaime while they kept those people under control one by one.
And Jaime didn’t realize any of this.
Jaime finally realized that he had been defeated. Alfredo was really cunning that he had discovered all his plans very early, and had played his game to dismantle all his forces in secret.
Jaime lowered his head and smiled slightly.
-So, grandfather, it’s been a long time since you’ve had any worries, that’s why you’ve been treating me badly these last two days. Since I’m no longer a deterrent for you, you don’t have to hide your dislike for me, do you?
Alfredo raised his eyebrows and did not speak. Secretary Diaz answered for him.
-Alfredo was only provoking you to reveal your objective as soon as possible, I thought it would take a few days, but I didn’t expect you to act today. You are so impatient to kill Alfredo.
Jaime raised his head when he heard this and said with a grimace:
-That’s because you want to announce my identity to everyone, I have no other choice.
He paused and suddenly looked at Alfredo.
-You knew I had installed a microphone in your sleeve, that’s why you deliberately told me.
Alfredo blinked.
-You haven’t even approached me in the last two days for fear of exposing yourself, and suddenly you’re willing to take me by the arm, so you must have a purpose.
Secretary Diaz also smiled.
-We also knew about your previous eavesdropping at the edge of the hospital bed.
Jaime’s mood could only be described as shock and horror.
Alfredo was really too astute, and now he didn’t even know when he began to suspect him.
Perhaps he had been thinking of a response since the day he learned he was an imposter.
Then, adjusting his plans according to his actions, Jaime took every step he was tempted to take and ended up on the road to his own death.
Jaime stood motionless. After a long moment, he laughed, with a bit of madness.
-Haha, it’s like that. You are so cunning. I admit I can’t defeat you. Even if I am ruthless, all my methods, along with the direction of my thinking are influenced by you, so I am destined to be unable to fight you.
When he finished, he laughed for a long time, as if he had gone mad.
Both Stephanie and Pedro did not speak, whatever they said at that moment was inappropriate.
After a long while, Jaime suddenly spoke and looked at Alfredo.
-I have lost, you can kick me out of Grupo Seco and send me to jail, I have nothing to say.
Alfredo looked at him and suddenly spoke.
-Jaime, I know you resent me in your heart. Resent me for choosing to abandon you when I knew who you were.
Jaime pursed his lips and didn’t answer, but his expression said it all.
Alfredo turned his head to Secretary Diaz.
-Take that out.
Secretary Diaz froze for a moment and nodded.
-Good.
Jaime and the others in the room looked at them, not understanding what Alfredo was talking about.
Secretary Diaz soon returned with a file.
Alfredo handed the document to Jaime.
-This is the property distribution document I had my lawyer draw up when I found out you were not my own grandson.
Jaime was stunned for a moment and took it.
As he looked at it, Alfredo sighed softly.
-I really couldn’t accept the truth when I learned it, but you were a child raised for over twenty years, from a very young age. Although you are not in a position to inherit the Dry Group, I have left you enough assets to make the rest of your life carefree. If you want to do business, I will ask the Seco Group to make it easy for you and I will help you in any way I can.
When Alfredo said this, he suddenly changed the subject.
-But I never expected that you would poison me and make so many moves in secret. It was you who destroyed all that was left of my love.
Jaime looked at the document in his hand and was stunned for a long time.
That day he overheard the conversation between Alfredo and Secretary Diaz, but he did not hear the whole conversation. The only thing he could think was that Alfredo was going to abandon him completely, so he risked poisoning him as soon as possible.
But…
After Jaime’s shock, his face remained indifferent.
In fact, even if he had heard Alfredo’s decision that day, he would not have been willing. The reason he risked impersonating an identity to go to the Seco Family was clear, he wanted to get his hands on the Seco Family’s properties.
With such a fortune before him, even if Alfredo gave him enough money for the rest of his life, he would not be grateful, he would just think it was a handout and still resent Alfredo.
His appetite had been whetted to the point that such a small amount of money would not satisfy him.
As soon as Alfredo caught a glimpse of his expression, he knew what Jaime was thinking.
This man was incorrigible!
He turned to Secretary Diaz and said:
-Call the police and say that Jaime tried to assassinate me.
Secretary Diaz nodded respectfully, picked up his cell phone and started calling the police.
Then Alfredo looked at Pedro.
-Pedro, announce the news that Jaime is not a descendant of the Seco Family, attach the paternity test, remove him from all positions in the Seco Group, you will take over the project work he is responsible for, and I will reorganize it when Mateo returns.
-Good! -Pedro responded and began to contact the company’s outreach department.
Jaime listened to Alfredo’s various instructions, especially when he heard Mateo, he raised his head abruptly.
-Who is Mateo?
Stephanie was also stunned, then looked at Alfredo.
Who was Mateo that Alfredo called so affectionately? She had a bad feeling in her heart.
Indeed, Alfredo answered quickly.
-Yes, Mateo is my grandson. I have already found him.
Jaime was startled.
-Hadn’t he disappeared? How could you find him?
Jaime had also sent someone to look for him, but he appeared for a moment, then disappeared in Sogen City. He thought he had run away again, but he never expected that Alfredo could find him.
Alfredo looked at him indifferently.
-I’m sorry it didn’t turn out as you expected, I found him a few days ago. Even if he’s going astray, his character is much stronger than yours, he’s a good boy. Tomorrow, after settling things at the company, I will officially take him back to the Seco Family and declare his identity.
Jaime’s hands and feet were a little cold.
He really had been found!
It was unbelievable that he had returned after so many years. Evidently, he had given that child away with his own hands when he was little and had thought he had died outside, never to return.
Now that he thought about it, he wasn’t too young when he sent that child away. Not as sharp as he was, but not a dumb kid either.
Maybe Luis had told the boy the truth before he died, too, and for various reasons, he hadn’t been back for the last twenty years.
Jaime clenched his fists, he was completely lost. The Seco Family was reunited and the company did not suffer. Only his plan had failed and he was about to be expelled from the Seco Family. He was broke and had nothing.
He was a little confused and a little resigned, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Stephanie was also stunned.
Alfredo’s implacability towards Jaime cheered her up, but she felt panic when she heard that the boy named Mateo had returned.
This man was the true descendant of the Seco Family and had been living outside for over twenty years, so Alfredo must have been very distressed for him. Once he returned, what would happen to Pedro, would he be abandoned again?
