Three months after she is removed from Alejandro’s house management, she appears on a charity luncheon stage and makes a joke about “certain street influences” taking advantage of vulnerable philanthropists. The room laughs politely. Someone records it. By evening, the clip reaches Alejandro.
He watches it once.
Then he sends one email.
The next morning, Regina is removed from the board of the family foundation pending review of her conduct and financial decisions. Alejandro releases no public insult, no messy statement, no social media drama. Just a formal announcement about governance, respect, and ethical standards.
Regina calls you twelve times from unknown numbers.
You answer none.
Then she comes to the kitchen.
She arrives in a white SUV, wearing sunglasses and fury. Rosa sees her first through the back door and says, “The marble lady is here.”
You know immediately.
Alejandro happens to be at the table reviewing delivery numbers. He turns his chair when Regina enters.
She ignores him and looks directly at you.
“You must be very proud.”
You wipe flour from your hands.
“I’m very busy.”
Her mouth tightens. “You ruined my relationship with my brother.”
Alejandro speaks before you can.
“No. You revealed it.”
Regina turns on him.
“You were fine before she came along.”
Alejandro laughs once.
“I was medicated, isolated, and managed like an asset.”
“You needed help.”
“I needed access ramps and honest people. Not a jailer in designer shoes.”
Rosa’s eyes widen.
Maribel pretends to arrange trays while listening with her whole soul.
Regina’s face reddens.
