When she got home in the evening, Allyce talked to Severo about Itzal.
“Where did you send Izar?”
“Back where he came from.” Severo looked at her and dropped this somewhat cryptic-sounding comment.
Allyce followed him and continued to press: “Did you have her sent back to Europe?
“Yes.”
Grandfather had come up with many ways to torment Izar, so he had to send her back for a good “treat”.
At the mention of Allyce, he also thought it was time to call Grandpa and ask how he was doing.
With this in mind, Severo looked at Allyce and, sensibly thinking of something, asked without moving his lips, “Why are you talking about her all of a sudden?”
“I was just asking, it doesn’t matter, she’s a public figure, she hasn’t been seen for a long time, it’s inevitable that someone will ask about her.” Allyce explained lightly.
Severo looked at Allyce carefully, and only when he saw that there was nothing wrong with her expressions did he let his heart drop.
…
The next day, when Allyce arrived at work and turned on her computer, a news page appeared.
“Izar, a popular international film star, has announced his retirement”.
Allyce clicked on the news item, not knowing what she was thinking.
Yesterday I had asked Severo about it, and today the news of Itzal’s withdrawal had come out.
It was too much of a coincidence.
On the other side of the world, in the LK Group.
It turns out that Severo also saw the news.
Unlike Allyce, he didn’t even read it and turned it off.
It was news he had asked to be sent.
Izar had said in public that he and Allyce were good friends, and if Izar disappeared into thin air, the media would look for Allyce.
It would be better to publish a message and let the media speculate.
Allyce took a look at the comments and discovered that there were already tens of thousands of comments below, proving that Izar was indeed very popular.
Most of the comments were lamentations, some saying it was too sudden to accept, others that there was something hidden.
Allyce raised her eyebrows and scoffed.
It is not a good idea to disclose it.
He did not care about Izar’s reputation, but he did not want to open his wounds for the public to see.
He quickly closed the website and went back to thinking about the Delahoz group.
…
Allyce sorted and summarised what Leira had given her, looked for something else on her own, put it all together and decided to go to Eric.
These things were enough to turn Eric around for the rest of his life.
But how could it be enough to keep Eric alone for the rest of his life?
In the evening, he met Eric in a restaurant near the Delahoz group of companies.
Eric looked up and saw it was Allyce, and his face changed: “What are you doing here?
“Something good to discuss with you, of course.” Allyce smiled and took a seat across from him.
“What’s this about?” Eric looked at Allyce suspiciously.
He raised his arm, which was still in plaster, and his whole body assumed a cautious posture.
With his broken arm for Severo still fresh in his mind, and with Allyce having returned to the Delahoz family to say those words not long ago, he had a hunch that Allyce was not looking for him in a good way.
But then Allyce said: “Of course it’s good, it’s good for you”.
“I have nothing to say and nothing to talk to you about.” Eric didn’t want to hear what she had to say at all.
He got up and was about to leave, but Allyce said, “Uncle, don’t rush, it’s not too late to see things before you go.”
As Allyce spoke, she slowly and methodically pulled a folder out of her bag, a very thick stack.
Eric’s heart squeezed, what was that?
“Take a look, man.
The last two words were directed with Allyce adding emphasis to her tone, the smile on her face looking a little creepy.
Eric looked at Allyce’s smile and was puzzled.
He was very scared of Allyce.
But seeing Allyce’s smile, he couldn’t help but wonder what she was going to show him.
He sat back down, still eyeing Allyce warily, and reached out to touch the document.
He opened it to read the first page and didn’t think anything yet, and by the time he opened it to the second and third pages, he slammed it shut.
With that, his face changed drastically as he looked at Allyce: “Where did you get all this from?
“Now, what you should be worried about, it seems, is not where they came from, but what to do with them. Allyce smiled and looked at Eric.
It was only when Allyce reached this point that Eric came to his senses and asked aloud, “What do you want to do? Do you want to send me to jail?”
“Why would I do that? We’re both Delahoz anyway, how could I do that to you? You’re my uncle.
The smile on Allyce’s face remained the same, but her heart was cold to the bone.
What about his father, also a member of the Delahoz family, Eric’s own brother, Casimiro’s own son.
But what did they do to his father?
Ha!
None of these people deserved his compassion or his soft heart.
Eric looked at Allyce half-heartedly, still not quite believing what she was saying, but relieved at heart.
“You’d better think so, we’re all sorry about big brother …, but that can’t be helped.” Eric finished, and gave a mock sigh.
Allyce’s smile did not reach her eyes, and she put that document back, her voice was not hurried, “My request is simple, as long as you transfer all the shares of the Delahoz group in your hands, as well as the shares of Senona and Lavina to me, I will not hand them over.”
Eric’s gaze became embarrassed and he shouted: “What do you mean!
“If you think about it, come to me with the shares in exchange for this.” Allyce took the document and held it up to Eric.
I forgot to tell you that I have more than that, there are many more, if you want to see them, I can have them photocopied for you to admire, just by transferring your shares to me, you can exchange them for all the evidence against you. ”
The smile on Allyce’s face deepened.
Eric’s face turned blue with anger at her words, and his breath caught in his throat as he exclaimed, “Don’t dream! Wanting me to transfer my actions to you, it’s not possible!”
“I don’t want you for nothing, I can afford it.” Only the price or whatever, it wouldn’t be up to Eric, she definitely wouldn’t give him the market price.
Eric sniffed, a hint of joy surfaced under his eyes, and his words were coy: “What money you have!”
