But in the end Angelo did not stop Cristian.
So Cristian quickly disappeared from his sight. Angelo was very angry, his chest was rising and falling, it looked as if his illness was about to attack. Dominic reached out his hand and patted his master on the back, suggesting:
-Don't be angry, sir, why are you looking for trouble?
-Domenico, do you think Cristian is in a period of rebellion? He rebelled like this because of a woman, what is the charm of this woman called Serena that made him like this?
Domenico was a little afraid to tell him the truth, but he asked anyway: -Do you want to know what I think?
-Tell me.
-In my opinion, Mr. Cristian is an adult and has his own opinion about things. Cristian rebelled against you, and not because he was in full rebellion, but because you stopped him from doing what he wanted to do.
Angelo heard these words and did not know what to say.
-The most important thing is that you did not educate him when he was a child, which greatly diminished his respect for you. And it is true that you made a mistake in this matter.
-What do you mean?
-Angelo looked at Domenico angrily: -How dare you say I have done wrong, Domenico, do you think that because you are my trusted employee you speak to me with such impunity?
Domenico shook his head: -I'm just telling the truth.
But it was good to see that Angelo had no intention of holding Domenico responsible for his mistake: -This time you will get off the hook. I'm going to check on Magdalena, I want to know exactly why she made this mistake.

Bedroom.
Magdalena was lying on the bed, her eyes still red and swollen. They hurt now because she had cried so much earlier.
She waited for Angelo and the doctor to leave before wiping away her tears and closing her eyes to rest. Her mind went back to the scene where she had ordered the maid to drug Cristian.
And Cristian had seen it all. If Cristian cared about the scandal, he wouldn't tell anyone. But what if he didn't care at all? At the thought, Magdalene's eyes widened nervously, her expression a little frightened.
But she soon recomposed herself, because even though Cristian had revealed the incident, he had no proof that Magdalene had drugged her.
The maid had taken money from Magdalena, and Magdalena had already had it taken away, so as long as Magdalena didn't admit it, she could shrug it off.
Until they had key evidence, mere suspicion could not inflict substantial punishment.
With this in mind, Magdalene closed her eyes peacefully and fell asleep.
But she did not sleep long before she heard a knock at the door. At first Magdalene thought she heard wrong, but then the knocking became clearer and Magdalene awoke from sleep and immediately asked, -Who is it?
The knocking ceased and Magdalena heard Angelo's voice.
-Maddalena, it's me, Grandpa Angelo.
-Come in, Grandpa," Magdalena hastened to say.
When the door opened, Angelo entered on his crutches, and it seemed to Magdalena that Angelo was in a different mood than when he had left.
What was going on?
