Please behave My Lord

Chapter 217: Why do you care about this?

Lionel was even more puzzled. He hadn't expected Diana to say this.

Based on what she had just said, it seemed that she and Mariana had the same purpose, they both wanted to free Hugo Rios. But immediately afterwards, Diana again blamed Hugo and even insinuated that he and Mariana had an ambiguous relationship.

The atmosphere in the office was cold again.

Leopoldo narrowed his eyes, but his somber gaze provoked a tense fear in those present.

However, Diana didn't mind. After all, Leopoldo would never look at her coldly.

-But, Leo, since Mariana wants you not to make things difficult for Hugo, why don't you agree with her? She's the victim of this affair. Now she doesn't even care. Why do you care about this?

At her words, Leopoldo clenched his pen, as if he were holding something back.

"Yes, he didn't care anymore. So why do I care?"

Looking at Lionel who stood in front of him, Leopold said in a low voice: -In that case, do as she says.

At those words, Diana smirked, but quickly hid her emotions.

Lionel nodded and left.

At that time, only Leopoldo and Diana remained in the office.

-Leo, let's go to the movies to relax.

Leopoldo looked at Diana and finally agreed.

After watching the film, Leopoldo sent Diana home before leaving.

Watching the black Maybach fade away and melt into the darkness, Diana returned to her room.

He pulled out his cell phone and quickly called Elisa.

-Remember what you promised me.

After that, he hung up the phone.

Leopoldo headed back to Grupo Durán. Just as he reached the president's office, he saw the assistant standing in the doorway. His face turned somber. -Enter.

He took the lead and walked in, sitting behind his desk. He looked angry and cold.

At that time, the office was very quiet, even a bit subdued.

Finally, Lionel pursed his lips and continued to slowly report the results of his research during this period of time.

-Mr. Durán, earlier you asked me to investigate Hugo Ríos, but I did not expect that the more I investigated, the more I would discover that things were not simple. Hugo is intimately related to Elisa, but Elisa and Diana also have an unusual relationship.

Leopoldo looked coldly at the audacious assistant, laughed mockingly and said: "So you took it upon yourself to stage this play?

Lionel knew that Leopoldo was already angry and did his best to remain calm, but he was still very uneasy. He didn't know how to go on.

-It is my fault that I did not discuss this matter with you beforehand. But please trust my loyalty. I just want to check this matter quickly and prove Miss Solis' innocence.

When he found out about the relationship between Diana and Elisa, he felt uncomfortable, but he also knew that Diana was very important to Leopoldo. So he did not tell Leopoldo, but chose to hide it from him.

At first, he had good intentions. However, when he saw that Diana was coming to Leopoldo's office today, he suddenly remembered what the detective had informed him earlier. So he immediately conceived a scene and went back to inform Leopoldo of what Mariana had asked him to convey on her behalf.

In fact, when Leopold looked at him coldly, Lionel was worried and scared. Fortunately, the end result was good. Leopoldo chose to believe him and went ahead with his performance.

-After the detective told me that Elisa and Miss Solis had met today in silence, I thought that Miss Solis would come to you today to talk about the matter related to Hugo Rios. And, indeed, I only provoked the subject.

His words caused Leopoldo to frown.

"It is true. Today, Diana's behavior is abnormal. She is too urgent."

-Also, after I learned that Elisa and Ms. Solis had met, I had someone tap Elisa's phone. After you left, the two talked on the phone. Miss Solis told Elisa not to forget what she had promised.

Lionel had spoken these words after long reflection, uninfluenced by any personal emotion, but simply stating the facts.

He had not blamed Diana for these matters before, so he had only sent someone to keep an eye on Elisa.

And because the two were overly cautious, the places they chose to meet were out of the way, and their detective could not overhear their conversations, which is why Lionel finally chose such a complicated method.

Now all the facts showed that Diana was not innocent. Lionel knew it, but he was in no position to question her.

Leopoldo rubbed his forehead in annoyance. He was a little discouraged and felt as if something had changed, but he had no way of knowing.

When he reacted, the situation was already such.

-I am aware of this matter. Your work is done.

Hearing his words, Lionel frowned in surprise, but then understood what he meant. He asked: "Mr. Durán, what are you going to do?

Leopoldo's face became somber as he looked coldly at the assistant. He said: -What happens next is out of your hands. Beware of your status. Such a thing I will only allow to happen this once. If you commit i again in the future....

He did not finish speaking, but Lionel already understood what Leopoldo meant. He lowered his head, nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. Then I'll go first.

He paused, but received no response. Lionel calmly raised his head and looked at the man behind the desk.

The office was dimly lit and he could not see Leopold's expression, but he still felt afraid. Lionel hurriedly lowered his head and left quietly.

When the office door closed again, silence was like air, enveloping Leopoldo.
