Chapter 300: How cruel!
Clara hid in the kitchen doorway and looked out. Her eyes lit up when her vision came in contact with
Diana's face. A look she had never had with Mariana.
She could see that Diana was very eager to please the old lady and, relying on the fact that she had
been a nanny in this house for several years, she rose to the occasion.
He turned and put the chicken soup in a bowl and took it out, feigning surprise as he approached them.
-Miss Diana, are you already here?
Diana despised her, but since Grandma was there, she smiled.
-Hello, Aunt Clara! It smells so good! You're a great cook!
With a sweet heart, Clara put the soup on the table and suggested to the old woman:
-It's noon and lunch is ready, why don't you let Miss Diana eat with you?
Grandma frowned softly and said nothing, nodding calmly.
Diana sat up immediately, and put on an affectionate pout.
-Grandma, thank you. I'll make sure you change your mind about me.
The old woman didn't like to beat around the bush and didn't want to talk, so she just sat there and
ignored her.
Clara took the opportunity to say:
-Miss Diana, you are very sweet, beautiful and from a good family. You are a perfect child.
Diana covered her mouth and laughed.
-No, Aunt Clara, there are many people better than me.
-At last you're a little right," the old woman spoke lightly. Mari has a good temperament, she's pretty,
she knows how to design and she does a good job, isn't she better than you?
At these words, there was silence and no one said anything.
When Clara saw Diana's face, she hurried to speak.
-But Mari is not as good as Miss Diana because of her background.
The old woman looked at her sternly for the first time.
-What's birth got to do with it? You haven't even earned it by your own efforts. Who knows who will be From NôvelDrama.Org.
the true phoenix in the future?
The implication was clear: she was inferior to Mariana.
Diana's fingernails dug into her flesh and her chest ached with rage, but her face showed an
expression of resignation as she slowly rose to her feet.
-Grandma is right. Since you won't see me, I'll go first.
-I didn't say you weren't welcome, don't misunderstand too much.
Without looking at her, the old woman took a sip of her soup.
Diana stammered, unable to say anything more, and with her face burning, she turned to stride away.
-I will accompany Miss Diana," said Clara hurriedly.
He hurried after her, waving and shouting:
-Dia... Miss Diana!
Diana was annoyed by his shouting and stopped to look at her coldly.
-What are you doing following me?!
Clara's body shuddered, she clenched her hands and said:
-Don't take the old woman's words to heart.
-How do you expect me not to take it to heart? -Diana's eyes were fierce, "You flattered Mariana and
said I was inferior to her, even that she was going to be a phoenix. You are always bullying and
insulting me at will.
-No, it's not... -Clara took a step and then retracted, "You're good, I really believe it.
-So what if you think about it, who are you? Many people think I'm good, which one are you?
Clara's eyes widened with a pang of pain in her heart.
If I could, I would want to be by her side properly, to protect her from harm, and to see how the teasing
of others didn't make her feel sad inside.
-Miss Diana...
-I don't want to talk to you anymore!
Diana turned and walked away, but Clara unconsciously tugged on her wrist.
-Don't touch me!
In anger, Diana threw her with such force that she took a few steps backward and almost fell.
Mariana, who had arrived in her car, saw the scene and ran in front of Diana, questioning her in a cold
voice:
-Are you bullying my mother?
Diana snorted disdainfully as she wrapped her arms around her chest.
-So what if I did? What can you do to me?
Remembering her grandmother's words congratulating Mariana as if she was the best thing in the
world, and her implied sarcasm that she was nothing compared to her, she was filled with rage and
wanted to scratch her.
Mariana did not mind being hurt, but she would not stand for her family to be touched.
Mariana raised her hand.
Diana thought he was going to slap her and took the lead, grabbing her arm and pushing her.
-Go ahead! I'm not afraid of you!
The two got into a physical altercation and only Clara's effort to come to separate them stopped the
fight.
Diana, tired and angry, left in disgust.
Clara chased after her, asking if she was hurt.
-Don't bother talking to me or following me! -Diana shouted in annoyance.
Clara froze when Mariana came closer and whispered to her:
-Mom...
-Don't call me mom! -Clara turned her head and glared at her, her eyes a little red. "Why are you
fighting with Miss Diana? What if you hurt her? Do you know how honorable she is?
People always say that people are born equal, that there is no nobility or inferiority, but Mariana looked
at her mother, elevating others and showing no concern for her own daughter.
Mariana was very sad.
"Why did my mother have that attitude every time she saw Diana, why?"
"I was his own daughter!"
-Don't call me mom!
Clara was so angry that she spoke without realizing it, but only when she finished speaking did she
come back to reality and change her words.
-What are you doing here?
"What do I do? I was worried that you were sick, I saw how Diana harassed you and you almost fought
with her. Everything I did was for you, but you don't see it."
"You even say things like Diana is a noble person and I shouldn't fight with her."
Mariana looked up with a slight smile on her face.
-I came to see grandma.
She was not related to her grandmother and she was not related to Leopoldo, but her grandmother
didn't even think twice about it and treated her as if she were her own granddaughter.
Clara was very cruel compared to grandma.
Mariana grew up with no attention paid to her, no prizes for winning contests and no new clothes for
New Year's Eve. Maybe the reason she still expects something from Clara and worries about her all the
time even though she treats her so badly, is because she knows they are blood relatives.
When she entered the house, Grandma immediately smiled when she saw her arrival and personally
got up to welcome her.
-Mari, you are here.
It was ironic how different his attitude was with Diana.
Clara's face was complicated, but she said nothing and headed to the kitchen to get the food.
Mariana gave him a sidelong glance and sat down with the grandmother.
-Yes, I came to see you.
The two were talking when there was the sound of a car outside and Leopoldo entered.
Leopoldo usually arranges his lunch at the office, but today, for some reason he came back early.
When he saw Mariana, his eyes twinkled and he came over to sit next to her.
The old lady loved to see them up close.
