Diego took a deep breath, pushed the bitterness away from his heart, sat back down in his original position and looked at Carlos.
-Sir, my phone was secretly tapped by Miss Micaela half a month before your accident, that’s why she was the first to know about your decision to arrest Javier and she knew about our search for Natalia all over town….
The phone, which she smashed on the spot after Paula admitted it had been bugged….
Ernesto nodded in understanding, with a sense of relief, knowing that Diego was just being used and he didn’t know it….
-No wonder, I already told you. The question of finding Natalia, it was always you who organized the deployment, she can tap your phone, naturally, the first time to know our movements, Natalia really means can….
Carlos does not deny it, he guessed it when he learned of Diego’s suspicions and so, from that moment on, he stopped taking Diego’s calls and stopped seeing him.
Without looking at Diego, he asked while giving Micaela a plate to eat.
-Did she also do the script for that time Micaela was on the variety show?
Although the tone is questioning, Carlos is unmistakably sure.
Diego nodded, with a flash of embarrassment on his face, unsure how to explain himself, especially considering there were two ladies present, and only spat out a few half-formed words.
-She seduced me…..
Carlos interrupted him immediately.
-I’m not interested in how she did it, what else did you find out?
Ernesto raises an eyebrow and gets it in seconds!
Carlos must have guessed it right away too and defended his dignity by not letting him continue talking…
The two women still know a thing or two, Alba mused, seduction?
Could it be a cesium decoy?
Diego looked at Carlos gratefully and then at Ernesto with a glint of regret in his eyes.
-The time that Mrs. Mancebo was away… in the hospital, it was also Paula who followed me and found out about Sr. Mancebo’s hospitalization and told Natalia, and it was Natalia who arranged for someone to inform Sr. Mancebo’s father….
The day after the accident, they went together to see Ernesto, and when Diego went to answer the phone, the blinking white figure he saw in the living room doorway was Paula, only, in reality, he did not see her at the time and did not suspect Paula in any way….
Ernesto was nervous, but luckily Diego was able to keep his mouth shut and not say ‘car accident’ and said loudly to distract Alba.
-Fuck, no wonder, I thought my father had arranged for someone to spy on me, but I didn’t think it was actually Natalia who did it!
Diego noticed Alba’s facial blindness and Ernesto stood up violently and questioned.
-So it was you who talked to Paula about Alba also having face blindness and then she told Natalia?
Then Jairo, who was told by Natalia, and then Miguel, who showed up later, and Fangia, who came to the hospital expressly to separate him from Alba?
Yes, he snooped around and the old man got a call from a woman before he started to meddle in her love life….
Alba and Micaela also looked at Diego with a surprised face.
Diego shook his head firmly.
-No Mr. Mancebo, I didn’t, you should know very well that I’m not one for gossip and I never mentioned them in front of her.
Diego spoke with assurance, and Carlos nodded, looking at Ernesto and saying.
-That, after talking to you, I also asked Tomas to check that the person who called your father was Ivanna.
Ivanna’s career was ruined when Micaela accused her of plagiarism in a jewelry design contest. …
Ivanna?
Ernesto was a bit perplexed.
-Why is that woman after me?
Alba, however, froze for a second before reacting with a look of realization, no wonder she was able to dig up Miguel, the Miguel who would be her own crush, not a classmate in the same department really didn’t know, and she bumped her arm against Ernesto.
-It’s me that Miss Ivanna wants to target!
Then she frowned again.
-But how did she know about my face blindness?
Micaela reacted and looked at Alba.
-It could have been that time?
Alba and Ernesto looked over.
-The time when you called me at…. before you and Ernesto went to Catyblaca Nation to see a doctor about the face blindness, and you told me you wanted to give Ernesto a baby…..
Alba looked at Ernesto with a suspicious look on her face, had she said something like that?
Ernesto smiles with joy.
Knowing that Alba had forgotten everything and did not remember, Micaela simply stopped explaining and said.
-The other day I took your call in the living room, talking about it, and then, on the way to see Uncle Maku in custody, Katarina told me that Ivanna was standing in front of the hidden door listening to the wall, but she told me that supposedly Ivanna hadn’t heard anything, and now it seems that she definitely did?
Ernesto nods.
-In that case, the times do coincide, it was when I came back from that trip abroad and my father started to give me a hard time and sent Miguel Saavedra to stir things up.
Alba growled.
-Miss Ivanna has been my arch rival since we were in school, Naija has never beaten me in a fight, so let her win for once this time, don’t let me find the opportunity or….
If you don’t get revenge, you’re not a woman!
Ernesto sighed.
-That said, if it hadn’t been for this incident, we wouldn’t have known until now that Amy, Paula, even Adriana, were all Natalia’s people. Fortunately, not everything went as she wanted.
Carlos was as clear as day that Alba’s facial blindness was known to Natalia, as Micaela had said, but Paula would tell Natalia that the reason for Ernesto’s accident was ultimately because of Diego….
Diego liked Alba and Paula must have sensed it and would have told Natalia, just out of jealousy, to use Natalia’s hand and take revenge on Alba….
The jealous heart, how terrible, see clearly, Alba and Ernesto really love each other, Diego will not have the chance to interfere, but still find the opportunity to not want to give their love rival a good time ….
Ernesto and Alba had no idea until now of Diego’s feelings for Alba, and now that it has come to such a situation, there is even less need to know, except that Diego, alone, has endured too much….
Carlos looked deeply into Diego’s eyes.
-Diego, come back when you feel you’ve had enough rest.
