Chapter 252: A Wicked Woman
Chapter 252: A wicked woman
Mariana was still in a state of joy when she heard this question.
Leopold looked at the woman with an icy expression, but it was beginning to be subtly different.
There was still something strange about this Mariana to him, as if something had crossed her boundaries.
-If you are so happy, all the more reason to take care of your health.
At those words, he turned his head and looked at the man with some bewilderment.
"Are you worried about me?"
Their gazes intertwined, and for a moment, only the figure of the other remained in their black pupils, as if they were the only people in the world.
At that moment, there was a sudden argument outside the door, as if Nuria was saying something fierce.
Mariana couldn't help but frown, and seeing Leopoldo in front of her, she turned her head and hurriedly got out of bed to check on him.
The next moment, a hand stopped her, and Mariana looked up in surprise to see Leopoldo, who was scowling at her.
-I'll go take a look.
And with that, he turned and walked out.
Outside the room stood a disguised Diana, followed by Lidia with a basket of fruit.
When she saw Leopoldo leave Mariana's room, Diana's look changed a little and even her smile became unnatural.
-What is it? -Leopoldo asked coldly.
Nuria snorted and pushed Ana away before she began to speak angrily.
Nuria looked at Diana and Lidia and spoke in a deep voice.
-Miss Diana wants to break into Mariana's room, we have already told her that Mariana needs more rest, but they insist on entering.
Hearing these words, Diana hurried over to Leopoldo and grabbed his arm affectionately.
-Leo, it's not like that, I just thought I should come to see Mariana, whether it's for work or a private friendship, I should come to see her and...
At that moment, Diana ducked her head with a slightly guilty expression.
When no one answered her, Lidia cried out anxiously.
-Diana, say something, what if he misunderstands you? You didn't do it intentionally.
At this, Diana seemed on the verge of tears. She raised her pale face, looked at Leopoldo, bit her lip, and spoke softly.
-Leo, when I was on stage, the design of my dress was wrong, so Mariana needed to come to make changes, I wanted to take off my dress to facilitate her work, but Mariana said I could also change it without taking it off. Then I thought that, if Mariana did it, it would go very well and highlight her talent more, but I did not expect that....
Ana looked at the hypocritical Diana and just felt that she was vile to the core.
She could not resist and pushed Nuria's hand pulling her straight away, took a step forward and spoke in a hateful voice to Diana.
-What didn't you expect? That you would kick Marina's chest so hard? Or didn't you expect her to be so fragile that she would faint after a single kick? What a cruel woman!
Anne's sudden words made Diana shudder with fear, she had been at Leopold's side and naturally conveyed those subtle emotions to the man with precision.
Diana said nothing for a moment, just ducked her head and sobbed a little aggressively.
Lidia knew then that it was her turn to say something, and she stepped forward to look at Ana, frowning as she spoke.
-Miss Lopez, how can you say that? You are Miss Ortiz's friend, and Diana is also a friend of hers. I didn't mean to do it at the time, it was only because Miss Ortiz accidentally stabbed her with a needle and reflexively stretched out her foot. Who would have thought she would actually kick her?
Reaching out and interrupting Lidia's words, Diana looked at Nuria and Ana, then looked at Leopoldo and spoke guiltily.
-Leo, it's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, Mariana would be fine. Although I unconsciously made a defensive move because I was stabbed by a needle at that moment... I hurt Mariana...
Then Diana buried herself crying into Leopoldo's chest, full of regret and guilt.
To one side, Ana and Nuria looked at each other, both saw contempt in the other's eyes. They had not expected Diana to say such words.
-How is it possible? Not while, I saw it with my own eyes. I was there with the other designers and models, and I also saw with my own eyes that you kicked Mariana really hard on stage!
Chest heaving with anger, Anne watched Diana's hypocritical look and felt disgusted that she could lie so matter-of-factly.
Hearing this, Lidia shuddered a little, not knowing for a moment how to respond.
Diana, however, reacted quickly and raised her head, and by now, Leopoldo could see the tears on her cheeks.
-Miss Lopez, since there were so many people on the stage, they must have seen it too, who can prove it? You only saw it and you incriminated me like this.....
The man's front flap was tightly gripped by Diana, who trembled slightly and counted her complaints.
Ana looked at Diana with great anger, but could not refute her.
Even if those people had seen it, what would have happened? They would have preferred to offend Mariana than Diana!
Ana felt nothing but helplessness, and her whole body lost strength in an instant.
