Book:The Blind Wife Published:2024-6-3

The security guard looked at the man who had an angry look in the room and instantly became alert.
-Who are you? Why are you hitting him?
Dante’s screams were too exaggerated. As soon as they entered, they thought Santiago had done something unforgivable and cruel, and they all took precautions.
Santiago took a very angry look at Dante and said very angrily:
-This bastard dared to mistreat my girlfriend and hurt her badly. I am a real man, of course I can’t allow it.
Dante and Gloria were shocked after hearing this and then the mother said:
-What are you saying, my son hurt your girlfriend?
Santiago snorted indifferently and looked towards the guard.
-If it were you, could you hold on?
The guard was speechless.
If someone really humiliated his girlfriend and seriously hurt her, he wouldn’t just go and give him two fists and might even beat him to death.
Even though he still didn’t have a girlfriend.
Dante stopped moaning and got up sitting on the bed hurriedly.
-When did I bully your girlfriend?
Gloria also spoke at once.
-My son is sick, these days he has always been in the hospital for treatment, how could I insult your girlfriend? Besides, we only arrived in Sogen City a few days ago.
Santiago was surprised for a while and then said:
-It is the truth, I have investigated everything well, the person who hurt my girlfriend is staying in room 609.
After finishing the words, everyone around him was stunned, including Gloria and Dante.
A few seconds later, the guard coughed slightly and said in a low voice:
-We are not in room 609, but room 606.
Hearing this, Santiago’s expression froze for a moment, then he showed an apologetic expression and said:
-Sorry, I made a mistake, I’m so sorry.
Momentarily, Gloria became furious and Dante also became very angry.
So, he suffered from two blows in vain?!
Seeing that Santiago was about to leave, Gloria stopped him at once.
-Did you hit the wrong person and leave like that?
Seeing her stop him, Santiago showed an indifferent look.
-Well, what do you want?
Gloria and Dante looked at each other, came to an agreement in an instant and said in unison:
-A compensation!
The ironic in Santiago’s gaze became more and more intense, who looked at them calmly, saying:
-It is true that it was my mistake in this case and I must pay compensation for the medical expenses. how much do you want?
Gloria was about to ask for a thousand euros, but she heard Dante shout:
-Ten thousand euros! You can’t go down a penny!
When the crowd heard this, they all pointed at them with many comments.
Just now Dante shouted severely, but at this moment he let go of his hand, so besides a small bruise on his mouth, basically no more injuries were seen.
Compensation for such a small injury was only a few hundred euros at most, but what he asked for was ten thousand euros, which was really like demanding an exorbitant price.
Dante didn’t care what the others said, because he was now seriously ill and would go to die if he couldn’t get Ariana’s kidney. He didn’t care about the argument and the most important thing for him was to get the money.
Even the guard disagreed, thinking that it would really be too exaggerated due to the fact that Dante wanted ten thousand euros for a bruise as small as the size of a fingernail.
-Don’t be like that, ten thousand euros is too much.
After hearing that, Dante rolled his eyes and said:
-You’re not the one who has been hit, of course you think ten thousand euros is a lot. But now I am seriously ill and weak, and he hit me twice, for that, he has not only caused an injury to my body, but also caused a negative impact on my psychology, in this case, shouldn’t he give me the compensation?
Gloria also echoed.
-That’s right, I see he is well dressed, the suit should cost more than ten thousand euros. Maybe he doesn’t care much about the compensation because he thinks it’s too little.
Santiago arched his eyebrows when he heard that. Since he had met them and felt a lot of hatred at the thought of them treating Ariana the same way in the past.
-In fact, ten thousand euros is not a lot for me.
Santiago said slowly, he noticed Gloria’s and Dante’s eyes getting brighter and brighter and then he spoke sharply:
-But why do I have to compensate you? Even if I burn the money to play, I don’t want to give you bastards any money.
Gloria and Dante were stunned by the sudden change.
-I was standing in the doorway of the room a little while ago, hearing with my own ears that you were conspiring against your own family, that is, against your daughter and your sister. You are eager to get her kidney, but you do not treat her as a human. You can even conspire against your own family like this, so no wonder they don’t let me go easily.
Santiago was very tall, so he looked sideways at them with an indifferent expression, and he looked a bit fierce, which made him look even more terrifying.
-We are in Sogen City, you must understand the situation and who you are talking to.
As soon as he finished the words, a sick man on a crutch shouted excitedly from the crowd behind:
-Mr. Barrios.
Santiago turned his head hesitantly and met a man who looked a little familiar, but he didn’t know him very well.
The man laughed flatteringly and said aloud:
-I felt familiar just looking at your back recently. It really is you.
He wanted to pull out his name card, however, he discovered he was wearing a hospital gown, so he just held his hands embarrassedly.
-I am Santino Obregon of the Obregon Group, I have the cooperation with the Barrios family. How is your father?
Hearing the introduction, Santiago got an impression in his mind.
-It was Mr. Obregon, nice to meet you. My father is doing well, however, what happened to you?
Santino followed his gaze to the dangling leg and said with some embarrassment.
-It’s because of a traffic accident, I need some time to recover.
The two greeted each other for a while before Santino left.
With the episode short, Gloria and Dante didn’t dare talk any more nonsense.
They understood that the man should be from a powerful family and quite wealthy, but they didn’t know that he was no ordinary rich man.
They have heard of the Obregon Group, which had many famous brands with great influence, but Santino still showed a lot of respect in front of Santiago.
His identity was probably much nobler than they imagined.
The two were so silent while Santiago saw that they lowered their heads without noticing the change in both of them and continued to say:
-I don’t want to give you ten thousand euros, better let’s settle it this way, I’m going to find a doctor to examine your injuries and to do a complete examination. This way, I will pay what I have to pay. If you don’t agree, we’ll see each other in court.
Dante and Gloria shuddered.
Why would they have to go to court with such a thing?
They simply wanted the money, yet they didn’t expect to shoot themselves in their own foot.
Dante had a lot of grumbling in his heart, but then he immediately said:
-No need. I just felt a lot of pain in my face recently and thought I was badly hurt, that’s why I asked for some more. But now I found out that my face doesn’t hurt, and they also say it’s not serious, so I realized that it was my illusion. Since it’s a misunderstanding, I won’t ask for anything more.
-Yes, for everyone there is the possibility of making a mistake. The number 609 and 606 are really similar, so we can understand that you have made a mistake. We are not such unreasonable people. You have already apologized to us, so we don’t need the compensation.
