Chapter 159: First Time
Mariana smiled coldly, as the hand holding the magazine could not help but tighten gradually, hatred swirling in her heart.
"He deserves disgrace! That person should be made to pay for the wrongs he has done, not just lose the things he has earned for the wrongs he has done!"
Mariana couldn't help but remember what Leopoldo had said in her ear that day, "Now that I think about it, he seems to want me to regain the hope of living. I don't know how his research is going."
In the office of the president of Grupo Durán.
Lionel stood behind Leopold, pretending to be calm, but his heart was beating like a drum.
"This time, the things I investigated are not ordinary, and it may even be said to surprise people."
Leopold was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes were so deep and cold.
-Silencing external opinion.
The cold, hard words fell hard on the attendant's ears, and made his body shudder.
-Mr. Durán, then about...
Before the assistant could finish, he was interrupted by a cold voice.
-You don't have to think about other things, you just have to do this.
The air pressure in the office dropped sharply instantly.
-Yes.
After saying this, Lionel looked at the documents on the table and turned to leave.
After a long while, Leopoldo who had been standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window moved, walked to the back of the desk and sat down, picked up the information that had already been opened on the desk.
At the end of the party, the woman who had toasted Mariana earlier left very late, and at that moment she was standing next to Diana.
This was the truth that made the attendee break out in a cold sweat.
Gathering the information in his hand, Leopoldo got out and drove away.
Right now, Diana was sitting on the couch at home, her fingers constantly gliding over the phone screen, watching the entertainment news that came out earlier today, her eyes fierce.
At this moment, the nanny of the family approached and handed over a cup of coffee, which she wanted to gently place in front of Diana, but unexpectedly Diana suddenly straightened up with an excited expression and bumped the cup into the nanny's hand.
In an instant, all the coffee spilled out and landed on Diana's hands and body, the hot liquid sticking to her body, making her feel very uncomfortable.
-What are you doing?
Raising her eyes, she looked coldly at the nanny before her, and Diana's eyes filled with a fierce fury.
Nanny's body trembled, her hand shook, and the porcelain bowl in her hand fell to the plush carpet, resounding with a heavy, dull sound.
-I'm sorry, miss, I'm very sorry.
Crouching down, the nanny couldn't help but apologize, her face full of panic, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead from nerves, but not bothering to wipe it off.
-If you can't do it, get out fast! The Solis family money is not so easy to earn.
With that, he was about to dismiss the nanny in front of him, but a soft voice reached his ears, like a breeze brushing past.
-Diana, the nanny has at least worked in the house most of her life, it is better to forgive her.
They saw a lovely woman slowly coming down the stairs, wearing a light-colored housecoat, her hair hanging softly behind her, somewhat pulled back, her face dignified and elegant, yet her eyes were full of vicissitudes, as if she were eighty years old.
Hearing this, Diana, who had been sitting on the couch, got up and came to the woman's side, holding her gently, frowning and grumbling:
-Mom, you're too good, that's why all the maids in the house are so unruly, they can't even get this little thing right!
Stroking her daughter's hand somewhat helplessly, Diana's mother's eyes lifted slightly with a slightly distant look, as if she were looking somewhere far away unseen.
-Diana, when your father was alive, he often told me to be compassionate, when you were born, if it were not for...
Eyes shining, Diana's face glowed a dark color very quickly, she looked at her mother, and spoke softly:
-Okay, Mom, let's not talk about the past. This time, I forgive her, I let her serve you well, as long as mom uses her well.
The old Solis family mansion was the only place where Diana's mother lived, and she only came back from time to time.
The nanny received a nod from Diana's mother and left after tidying up the porcelain bowls on the floor.
Before leaving, she looked at the young woman standing next to the lady, felt uncomfortable and still couldn't help but sigh.
"The character of this young lady does not resemble the lady, nor does it resemble the deceased gentleman."
The two sat on the couch, and Diana picked up an orange and put it in her hand, carefully plucking and removing the white meridians before putting it in her mother's mouth.
She opened her mouth to eat the orange her daughter was giving her, and Diana's mother felt only sweetness, reaching out to gently caress Diana's cheek affectionately.
-Diana, why did you think of staying again today?
Her heart fluttered, but the smile on Diana's face did not change:
-Isn't it because I miss mom? Don't you want me to come back to stay with you?
Saying that, Diana tugged on her mother's arm and looked at her smugly.
-How can this be? I am very happy.
At this point, the housekeeper approached and stood a short distance away from the two, speaking in a low voice:
-Madam, Miss, Mr. Durán is here.
Hearing these words, Diana's eyes sparkled and she smiled contentedly, but in the blink of an eye, a slight uneasiness spread in her heart.
"Since my return to the country, I have only asked Leopoldo to see my mother, but this is the first time he has come to the Solia family home after my return."
Some bad thoughts popped into his mind.
Diana's smile faded as she remembered the child lost in Mariana's womb.
Seeing that Diana said nothing for a long time, her mother, who was a bit puzzled, said:
-Diana, what's wrong with you? Is it because you're so happy that you're dumb?
Since her husband had left suddenly, Diana's mother only cared about Diana, so naturally she wanted her daughter to be as happy as possible, and would not meddle too much in what she liked.
He could also see that Leopoldo was a good boy.
After coming to her senses, Diana released her mother and stood up, straightening her skirt before speaking:
-Mom, I'm going to take a look.
-Okay.
