Jaime stood still for a long time after hearing it and smiled slightly.
-I didn’t know about this, Alfredo, you’ve been defending yourself against me.
Alfredo looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly:
-Before your identity was exposed, I wanted to clear all obstacles for you. Even if your identity was exposed, I did not want you to suffer in the future. It was you who first moved with evil intentions and tried to kill me. You have gone astray, I have helped you correct it for over twenty years, but I have failed, now you will have to let the law save you.
A siren sounded outside, Alfredo blinked and said to Secretary Diaz:
-Take care of that, I’m tired, I’m going to rest first.
Clara advanced two steps and said to Alfredo:
-I have made the soup, it is clean, you can have a bowl.
Alfredo turned his back to her and made a gesture with his hand.
-You eat, I have no appetite.
After saying this, he headed towards his bedroom, his back loaded with a sigh of relief.
As Pedro watched, he grew bitter.
No matter how unbearable Jaime was, no matter how much he conspired against Alfredo, but he was also the son he raised for more than 20 years.
Alfredo must not have been able to bear to see him being taken away in a police car.
Pedro looked fiercely at Jaime and told the bodyguard to get him out of there, out of his sight, out of his mind. Turning to Clara, he said:
-Heat the soup first and bring it out when Alfredo gets hungry.
Clara nodded and returned to the kitchen.
When the bodyguards and Secretary Diaz left, Guillermo saw that the matter was settled, waved his hand and said goodbye to Pedro.
The only two people left in the entire room were Stephanie and her son.
Stephanie finally could not control her excitement and hugged her son fiercely.
-Son, we’ve finally had our happily ever after,” she said in a trembling voice.
Pedro had been uncomfortable for many years, not being an appreciated son in either the Seco Family or the Leoz Family, and now he finally made his presence felt.
When Alfredo announced ownership of the estate, no one dared belittle his son!
Pedro looked at Stephanie with reddened eyes and looked down to wipe away his tears, hugged her gently and patted her spine.
-Mom, it’s been hard for you all these years.
As a son, Peter also had to admit that his mother’s personality was not the kind of personality one would like.
She was mean, she could hold a grudge for a long time over one thing, and she was vindictive, sometimes overly selfish and determined. But she was a good mother who loved Peter with all her heart, planned for him and did a lot for her son’s freedom from bullying and for his dignity.
Although Peter didn’t care about any property, it would be nice if he could give his mother peace of mind.
***
The Foreign Affairs Department of the Seco Group acted quickly, while Jaime was being taken away in a police car, a statement was posted on the official Facebook account.
It not only explained the causes and consequences of Jaime’s impersonation, but also listed all kinds of evidence that he had conspired against Alfredo.
Once the statement was made public, there was much debate on the Internet.
Internet users had lamented that, although the life of a powerful family was rich, they had to always be on guard. Lives were difficult to secure.
For the sake of property, children, grandchildren, siblings and partners could become the killers.
Soon after, the Sogen City police also issued a message about the poisoning attempt. Although the protagonist’s name was incomplete, along with the statement from the Seco Group, netizens instantly understood that it was Jaime.
Countless netizens flocked to Grupo Seco’s Facebook account to leave comments, denouncing Jaime’s crimes.
Jaime also had his own Facebook account. He was the heir to the Seco Family and had made many public appearances. Because of his slender and friendly appearance, he had many admirers, although he was not as famous as Umberto.
His account was down, and even though they knew he wouldn’t read it, the Internet users continued to vent all their anger.
With only a few posts, the comments were varied, with netizens cursing at a very high level, without using obscene words.
Albina sat on the couch, nervous and excited, she started browsing Facebook.
When she was pregnant, her family ordered her to forbid her to play with the cell phone for a maximum of two hours a day for fear of radiation effects. Just as her parents forbade her to watch TV when she was a child so that she would study well.
Albina now spent the precious two hours going over the comments of the Internet users who scolded Jaime.
She had long felt that Jaime was a nasty, mean person who had done all sorts of bad things. But she wasn’t very good at cursing and had been holding in that bad anger for a long time.
Now that she was watching the internauts scolding Jaime, she felt very relieved and her whole body was much lighter.
-What are you looking at? -Umberto sat down next to her and pulled her into his arms, resting his head against her as he went over to look at the screen of his phone.
Albina was looking for someone to share it with, and when she saw that she had arrived just in time, she hurried to reach for her phone.
-Look, Umberto, Jaime has finally had his comeuppance. Alfredo has made his identity public, and he has also called the police, saying that he poisoned him, the police have accepted the case. Now that the evidence is conclusive, I guess it won’t be long before Jaime is sentenced to prison.
This was what Umberto had expected, and he wasn’t surprised at all, but he looked at the way Albina was excited to share the news with him.
He pretended to be excited as well.
-Wow, Jaime finally got his comeuppance.
Albina was speechless.
-Umberto, has anyone ever said that you’re a bad actor?
Umberto’s words, which didn’t even have a plain tone, were spoken by him in an excited way, the image was indescribably strange.
Umberto coughed slightly, with his fist at the corner of his lips and his ears tinged with red.
-Let’s not talk about that, Alfredo’s efficiency was much quicker than I thought, I thought he would be thinking about his old friendship and entertain himself for a few more days, but I didn’t expect it to be resolved so quickly. I have to tell Mateo this good news.
Albina’s eyes lit up.
-Yes, then he will be able to return to his own home openly and without having to hide and live the hard life he had before.
-How do you know she was living a hard life? -Umberto smoothed her hair, picked up a lock and twirled it in his long, slender fingers.
Albina sighed.
-Do you remember what happened in the elevator? If something hadn’t happened before, how could a man as tall as him shrink into a ball of fear just because he was trapped in the elevator? When he returned home, he would have Alfredo to protect him, he should heal the wounds in his heart.
She had seen with her own eyes how Alfredo coddled Jaime, so Alfredo would definitely treat Mateo very well.
-I thought this would break your heart and you would want to heal it.
Albina looked at Umberto with a puzzled expression.
-Why would I cure him? I’m not a doctor, and I’m already your wife. Why would I go to cure another man? Mateo still has Alfredo, Pedro, and his future girlfriend, it has nothing to do with me, does it?
Umberto narrowed his eyes, with a smile, his handsome face looked even better than usual, with an inexplicable pleasure.
-Yes, you’re right, it’s me who thinks too much.
Just as they were talking about Mateo, Mateo arrived.
Mateo still looked a little dazed as he came down the stairs, he was walking staggeringly and looked a little tired.
Umberto shouted out loud.
-Mateo!
-What?
Mateo’s expression was confused, as if he had suddenly woken up, and he looked at Umberto and Albina.
-What’s the matter?
-Why do you look silly? -Umberto smiled slightly, with a meaningful expression -What did you do last night? I know you’re looking forward to going back to the Seco Family, but take care of your health.
Mateo finally reacted to what he was talking about and gritted his teeth, his temples bruised.
-I was looking at the information you gave me last night. It was a lot of information!
Her voice was weak with the emphasis of effort.
Umberto spread his hands.
-Well, I misunderstood. But I have good news for you, you don’t need to read the information, Jaime has been punished by Alfredo, he is now at the police station and is probably going to be sentenced.
Mateo’s spirit trembled.
-Show me!
Albina immediately handed over the phone, her eyes fixed on Mateo’s expression.
Just now Umberto didn’t react, which disappointed her a lot, she had expected Mateo’s expression to be a bit more exciting.
