Martha was instantly alarmed:
-You, what do you mean?
Without wasting any time, Carlos took out his phone and opened one of the recording files.
The strange and somewhat familiar voice came from inside, and it was clearly a conversation between Marta and the employee of the car repair shop who had been paid more than ten years ago, and Marta explained that she would do something to the brakes so that the family of three would die….
The more Marta and Sergio listened, the paler their faces became and the more their hearts beat violently….
Micaela also listened to this recording for the first time and her eyes filled with tears.
It was them, the ones who killed her mother and father….
Marta stood up excitedly and argued shrewdly:
-No, no, this is false, it is something you have faked, Micaela, what are you trying to do? Adriana has left Brillantella and I’ve left that house, what more do you want, do you really have no conscience to drive us, who have raised you for more than ten years, to extinction?
Carlos growled:
-This repairman personally handed me the recording, and if you insist on sneaking away, I don’t mind going to the police station and having them face each other on the spot to restore the situation.
Marta swallowed hard, feeling cold in her hands and feet, unable to say a word, and Sergio was also full of remorse….
Carlos reached up to wipe the tears from Micaela’s face, his deep voice had a great capacity to reassure.
-Ask anything you want to ask, huh?
Micaela adjusted her mood and looked at Marta, whose face was pale.
-You, why did you do this to my family?
Marta’s lips trembled, not knowing what to say.
Carlos looked at Marta, his sharp eyes made Marta not dare to look directly at him.
-At this hour, instead of being in your Grupo Elvira, but at home watching TV, is Grupo Elvira finishing?
Marta’s face flushed as something suddenly occurred to her and she looked at Carlos with horror.
-Was it you…?
Sergio tugged anxiously at Marta, “how she spoke!”
Reluctantly, Carlos smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.
-I don’t want to get my hands dirty yet.
Sergio spoke hurriedly:
-Yes, yes, yes, yes, Mr. Aguayo you are right, it is all because of our mismanagement, that my company is where it is today, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Aguayo in any way.
Carlos didn’t really do anything to Grupo Elvira, because he didn’t have to do anything, Grupo Elvira was already in danger.
-I have a million ways to get you killed, don’t put up a useless fight.
Carlos spoke in a low voice, but it gave them chills….
-I, I, Micaela….
Marta made a puff and knelt at Micaela’s feet….
The door was pushed from the outside and Adriana entered, seeing her mother kneeling by Micaela who was sitting on the sofa, she immediately ran angrily and tried to lift her mother, looking at Micaela with eyes that were about to burst.
-Micaela, what are you trying to do? Who are you to make my mother kneel before you?
Marta separated from Adriana’s hand and did not get up, tears came in her eyes.
-Micaela, I beg you, you can kill me, but don’t hurt my daughter, she’s innocent, she was still young, she didn’t know anything. I got carried away, your family had no relatives, I only wanted your father’s property, I thought no one would look for you if you died, so I had a bad thought, I’m sorry, I was wrong. Micaela, you’re doing great now, just let me go…..
Adriana gasped….
Micaela’s mind went blank and she muttered:
-It’s really about the money, we are a family of three with no relatives, so we treat you as if you were family and you do this…. My father was extremely generous to you, when did you ask him for money and he didn’t give it to you? But you wanted to kill us for money?
Carlos took her in his arms, his deep eyes looked at Marta.
“A moment ago he said he would kill you, and now he’s asking us that we’re going to let you go?”
Carlos growled coldly and spoke at a leisurely pace:
-A plea should be more sincere, I want to hear it, but I haven’t heard anything yet!
Gritting his teeth, Sergio suddenly stood up and shouted to Marta:
-I tell you, Micaela, that shameless woman who seduced your father, who coveted his money, who admired his abilities, who scorned your parents’ kindness in taking him in, who schemed against your father and got into his bed! But your father refused to do it anyway, then she got so angry that she killed him out of love and hate!
Adriana was shocked.
“The car accident was deliberately arranged by my own mother, she had even seduced Micaela’s father? Is my mother such a shameless person?”
Micaela blinked hard to push the tears away and looked at Sergio, asking him:
-And you?
“Marta did all this on her own, and had nothing to do with him?”
Sergio paused and said slowly:
-I, felt ashamed and guilty for confronting your father, I said nothing, until she arranged for someone to tamper with the car that day when it was too late, you all had already left, I immediately called your father, I wanted him to pay attention to me, but, the accident had already happened….
Sergio’s conscience went back to that afternoon when Micaela’s father answered the phone and said in a weak voice:
-My Micaela, you must help me to raise him and help me to keep that secret…..
The horrible images flashed through Micaela’s mind, the overturned car, the sparks, the scorching heat, her mother’s face covered in blood, her father trapped there, unable to move, and her mother pushing her little boy out the window with all her strength, and her mother’s weak voice.
-Micaela, you must live well…..
Micaela’s body was shaking and tears the size of beans were falling….
“So, mom and dad were in this mess because of money and Marta’s selfishness towards my father?”
Carlos looked at Micaela with heartache and tightened his arms, but kept looking at Sergio.
-Mr. Sergio, if your heart did not want anything to happen to them, why didn’t you call the police afterwards?
Sergio looked back at Carlos, his eyes were clear and sharp, his own attempts to deceive him would definitely be seen, but he had promised Micaela’s father, he could never tell!
-I… couldn’t do it to expose her, after all she was my wife and Adriana’s mother, so I kept quiet about what he did there, he hated Micaela and was determined to send her away. I took care of Micaela in secret until after two years, I took Micaela back….
Carlos stood up suddenly, with anger in his eyes.
-If you don’t get to the point, the three of you will go to jail right away!
