Chapter 257: This time, I’m afraid I can’t understand it.
“I thought you were just poor, but I didn’t think you had so many bad pasts”.
Tajo’s face was as cold as a layer of frost, and he glared angrily.
Allyce picked up the pile of papers he had left on the coffee table and leafed through them one by one.
By the time he finished, his hands had clenched involuntarily and his bones were slightly white.
What Tagus had brought him was nothing more than the things that worried him.
Those of the high school year in which Senona had falsely accused her of having an abortion, and the murder of Linda who had been linked to her, and the throwing of a bottle of mineral water at a journalist during a press conference …
In fact, in all the incidents, she was the victim and the innocent one.
And it all became clear in the end.
But now, Tajo turned it all around and turned it into a weapon to hurt her.
Tajo narrowed his sharp eyes, his gaze like a knife, and shot straight at Allyce, “There’s nothing more to say, is there?”.
Allyce dropped the paper she had balled up in her hand.
He listened in silence as Tajo spoke.
It wasn’t until Tajo had finished that he raised his head and looked at Tajo with a clear gaze: “Is that why old Mr. Betances is here today?”
“Miss Delahoz, as Severo’s grandfather, it is necessary for me to take responsibility for his future, and even more, to take him off the wrong path, which I hope you understand.
Tajo spoke with a straight face, even his tone was the same as when he had first met Allyce.
But, at this moment, Allyce was nowhere near as sympathetic and helpless with him as she had been when they first met.
“Old Mr. Betances, I’m sorry, this time, I’m afraid I can’t understand you.”
A coldness flooded the depths of Allyce’s eyes. For the past few days, she had chosen to avoid Tajo and was trying hard to keep her temper under control.
Now, however, he could not hold his tongue.
“Little girl from a small family, fortunately the person you met was me, otherwise …”
Tajo’s expression turned a little grim as he growled coldly and did not continue with the words that followed.
A faint smile tugged at Allyce’s lips.
“What you said is what I wanted to say too, it’s a good thing old Mr. Betances is treating me like this today, if it was anyone else, I probably wouldn’t be so calm and would still be talking to you.”
Hearing Allyce’s words, Tajo’s face changed, he did not expect Allyce to speak to him in such an “arrogant” way.
Allyce didn’t mind his face and continued, “Old Mr. Betances, if you can find out about these things, you must know how they happened, and you know better than anyone that I am the victim in these incidents, and you, Old Mr. Betances, now you throw these things out and say they are my bad past. …”
“What difference does it make between you and those who have planted evidence against me? So there’s really no way for me to understand why someone who knows the truth chooses to pretend not to see it, and besides, can you guarantee that in a noble family like Solares, none of this has happened?”
How many so-called noble families have all kinds of fights over name and profit?
How much dirt is in them is known to all, but only by memory.
Nine out of ten girls he had met during his years abroad had told him about the Solares, a real noble family.
And as the only foreign heir in successive generations, Count Castañeda was an object of admiration.
“You …”
Tajo’s face was blue as he pointed at Allyce, “you” for half a day, but no words came out in full.
Allyce’s face was calm as she poured Tajo a fresh glass of water.
“How dare you talk to me like that! I’m Severo’s grandfather! I’m the only family he has and he won’t really be with you as long as I don’t give him the go-ahead!”
Tajo shouted this almost hysterically.
He felt that this must be the most embarrassing moment of his life.
His mother was from the East, his father was a deputy in a foreign country, then he married into the Solares family and became the heir, knighted by the Queen, and lived a life of great honour for decades.
Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would be speechless in front of a young woman 40 or 50 years younger than him.
He was speechless because he knew that what Allyce had said was true.
He was behaving like an aggressor.
It was ungentlemanly and extremely embarrassing.
But it was imperative that he brought Severo back into the Solares family. That Severo should be the next heir.
The heir to the prestigious Solares family must have a wife with an excellent surname.
When a man has selfish desires, his roots are exposed.
Even Tagus, who had been a gentleman all his life, was no different.
“It is because you are Severo’s grandfather that I want to talk to you even more. Allyce’s face was calm, but her heart couldn’t stop sinking.
The only member of the family.
Tajo wouldn’t really be with her until she nodded?
“Hmph! No sense of humour!”
Tajo’s chest was rising and falling uncontrollably, clearly still angry.
Allyce didn’t dare say more, afraid of making Tajo sick with anger.
I was angry with him, but he was an old man and Severo’s grandfather, so I had to be careful with his health.
Izar hurried to smooth out Tajo’s breathing, whispered a few more words, looked at Allyce with a puzzled expression and left with Tajo.
Only when everyone had left did Allyce collapse on the sofa as if drained of energy.
She felt a slight pain in her belly, which she squeezed lightly, not caring that it was only a month of irregularity and that a small pain in her belly was nothing.
She was so tired from the confrontation with Tajo that she collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep within moments.
…
Izar helped Tajo out just as Ula crossed the room again.
He was a rich man, but he had come to this flat.
Wait, it’s not Izar?
“Hello! Excuse me, are you Izar?” A big star!
Izar sniffed, looked surprised and smiled slightly at Ula: “I didn’t expect to meet someone who knew me here”.
“Ah, can I have your autograph? Sign here. Ula quickly pulled out a small notebook and let him sign there.
Izar shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, my grandfather is not feeling well, I have to send him home first, give me a business card and I’ll have my assistant call you when he is signed another time”.
“All right!” Ula hastily pulled out her own business card, her eyes all smiles.
Izar was different, so kind and attentive.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Suddenly he remembered that they had just come off the street? Something to do with this Allyce?
