Chapter 295: All my property belongs to Mrs. Rouco
During Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal’s stay in the hospital, there were always interruptions from misinformed people.
Two days ago it was Irene Guillén, and today it is Arella Rouco again.
Fresco Rouco had visited before, but only for the purpose of visiting Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal, and the words did not bring up half of the kidnapping case.
Adán Rouco understood that Fresco Rouco intended to leave him to his own devices and that Fresco Rouco did not want to interfere in the matter.
After all, Shoshana Duque and Arella Rouco were wrong, and Uncle Nii had always been a very reasonable and unprotective man.
This is very different from Roberto Rouco.
Adán Rouco sometimes feels that his father and his second uncle are not blood brothers, because their personalities are very different.
Fresco Rouco is a very reasonable and upright man, while Roberto Rouco is outwardly stern, but protective to the extreme.
For example, last year, when Paulita had just started kindergarten, the little boy was so fast that he tickled one of the children in the nursery. Rouco had underestimated Roberto Rouco’s ability to protect his defects.
Paulita gave someone a spanking, the kindergarten teacher gave her a couple of lectures, the little girl was delicate as a golden pea and it was normal for her to cry a couple of times, but what did Roberto Rouco do when he went to the kindergarten, he hugged his granddaughter and told the teacher off without asking questions.
There are times when Roberto Rouco does not ask about right and wrong, only about who the other person is, and if the old man wants to protect his defects, no one can stop him.
Since then, the kindergarten teachers speak to Paulita in the softest of whispers.
Later, Adán Rouco took Paulita to the teacher’s house to apologize, but the image of the Rouco family as defenders of unreason had already taken its toll on many of the kindergarten teachers.
That’s why Paulita changed schools, from institutional kindergarten to what became the foreign language kindergarten.
In contrast, Fresco Rouco, Shoshana Duque, who took out Arella Rouco, has been in jail for a few days now, but Uncle Two hasn’t said a word to her and doesn’t seem to intend to say anything soft.
As soon as Arella Rouco entered the room, her eyes turned red and she fell to her knees in front of Adán Rouco with a pouf.
“Brother, please, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault …. I’m your sister, are you really so heartless?”
Adán Rouco looked at her with a clear and cold face and said, “You shouldn’t have begged me, even if you had asked for it”.
Arella Rouco’s heart stuttered and sank.
Is Adán Rouco asking you to beg Estrella Berrocal?
But who was she to beg Estrella Berrocal, if it hadn’t been for her, I wouldn’t have to be so humble now, let alone live in such fear.
Arella Rouco does not move, but Adán Rouco does not move either.
Arella Rouco looked at Adán Rouco: “Brother, are you determined to make me beg you?
“No, I don’t want you to beg him, you’ve always owed him an apology, haven’t you?”
An apology?
And who is she to apologize to Estrella Berrocal!
Arella Rouco’s tear-stained eyes were red and it was evident that she had not slept well, if at all, in the last few days.
Arella Rouco bit her lip, almost breaking the pale.
He swallowed saliva and mentally composed himself for who knows how long before slowly turning around and kneeling before Estrella Berrocal.
“I’m sorry.”
Estrella Berrocal did not know how to respond to that “I’m sorry”, but deep down she did not want to forgive Arella Rouco at all.
Even that child, though not Arella Rouco, may not stay.
But Arella Rouco was the fuse, and was a word of apology enough to forgive her sins?
Estrella Berrocal did not speak indifferently, but it was Adán Rouco who did.
“It’s an understatement to say you’re sorry.”
Arella Rouco closed her eyes, “And what exactly do you want from me?”.
Adán Rouco said: “If you do something wrong, you should be punished accordingly. arella, this time, you have gone too far.
Arella Rouco scoffed, “Am I going too far?”.
He stood up suddenly, as if he had reached the limit of his mental humiliation, and, not wanting to lower himself any further to their level, he stared at Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal and said, “Aren’t you exaggerating? You are all turning towards her”.
Arella Rouco pointed viciously at Estrella Berrocal: “If it weren’t for her, how could I have been so angry in front of you! She has nothing to do with my father, why would I share half of the family fortune in her name!”
Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal were stunned.
Estrella Berrocal frowned: “How is it possible that Uncle Dos gave me half of the family fortune in his name, I didn’t know that”.
“Hey, don’t pretend you don’t know! I heard with my own ears that my father told his lawyer that he was going to make a will to give you half of the inheritance! Wasn’t it for that half of the family fortune that you insisted on bringing him soup while he was in the hospital? Estrella Berrocal, you are the best at playing dumb!”.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Estrella Berrocal is puzzled.
I really didn’t know that Fresco Rouco was going to give him half of the property.
Adam Rouco said with a furrowed brow, “Do you think Estrella would care about half of my uncle’s fortune? She’s Mrs. Rouco, she owns everything in my name, she has a lot of money and she doesn’t care about her half?”
Arella Rouco’s eyes startled and her feet took a false step backwards, as if in disbelief.
“How is it possible…”
Even if Estrella Berrocal were Mrs. Rouco, how could Adán Rouco be willing to give all his assets to Estrella Berrocal?
Not even Estrella Berrocal expected Adán Rouco to say something like that.
After all, she had never married him or thought about his property or anything else.
After Arella Rouco left in grief, Adán Rouco raised his hand and called Estrella Berrocal.
Estrella Berrocal lifted the sheets and ran to Adán Rouco’s bed.
It must be said that Adán Rouco’s comforter is much warmer than yours.
“Adam, you are so warm.”
It was especially warm and soothing to be in his arms.
Estrella Berrocal, comfortable as a kitten, narrowed her watery eyes, then looked at him seriously and asked, “Are we really going to stand by and do nothing when the second aunt is at the police station for Arella Rouco?”
“There is still no hard evidence against anyone, the most the police department will do is check with the second aunt, I have asked Santino Yepes to ask, and he will be out on bail this afternoon.”
“From the looks of Arella Rouco, it seems she doesn’t know.”
Otherwise, Arella Rouco would certainly not have come to ask for them.
Adán Rouco said, “If I had to set her free, I certainly had to make her suffer a little more.”
Estrella Berrocal knew that blood was thicker than water, that Arella Rouco was, after all, Adán Rouco’s only sister, and that even if he had done something heinous, Adán Rouco could not completely ignore the Rouco family and disown his six relatives.
This is not typical of Adán Rouco, and it would be a scandal for the Rouco family and the Rouco Group if Arella Rouco were to go to jail.
“I just really don’t understand why the second uncle would want to give me half of the property in his name. And, how could the second uncle suddenly make a will when he’s in such good health?”
Adán Rouco’s eyes deepened a little: “I’ll ask my second uncle”.
However, Estrella Berrocal is interested in something else.
“Is it true that you just said in front of Arella Rouco that all your possessions are mine?”
Or was it a deliberate attempt to speak in front of Arella Rouco?
Women, who do not seek money, care greatly for a man’s heart. Sometimes, in a household, a man’s willingness to give all his money to his wife is also a sign of loyalty and devotion.
