Chapter 422: Knowing the Truth
-Rafael is young after all, and there may be places where he offended Señor Durán. But I am
pregnant... -Sofia said, her hand stroking her belly, showing a mother's weakness.
As a mother, Mariana could not fail to empathize.
The fetus could not be without a father.
-I know, I will do everything I can to help you in this matter," Mariana understood the meaning and said
she would help Sofia. Whatever happened, one could never joke with human lives.
Even if Sofia did not ask for it, Mariana would help her.
People could not be treated lightly.
-Really?
Sofia's eyes were still slightly puzzled at Mariana's relief. There was so much gratitude written in her
eyes. It hadn't occurred to her that this woman was so reasonable.
In the office.
-Bang bang.
-Come in," Leopoldo said without raising his head, then lifted his wrist to glance at his watch and
realized that closing time was slowly approaching. Without even thinking about it, he started to pick up
his desk.
The person who entered the office was his confidant.
-Mr. Durán.
The confidant stood in front of him, coldly observing Leopoldo's every move. Maybe it was because he
had spent so much time with Leopoldo, the man's personality was very similar to Leopoldo's.
Leopoldo looked at the other man and nodded.
-Sofia has gone to see the Señora," the confidant spoke up to report.
As soon as these words fell, Leopoldo's dark eyes grew cold. That person had gone to look for
Mariana, it seemed that he had still underestimated Sofia. At first, he had asked his brother to come,
and then turned to his wife.
This woman was, in fact, astute.
-Understood -Leopold put on his jacket, his face immutable.
The confidant stayed in place, cautiously watching the other man's every move. He needed to listen to
what Leopoldo said and then make his next move. Earlier, Leopoldo had given the task of finishing off
Rafael tonight.
But not explicitly, of course.
Grabbing the watch from his desk, Leopoldo put it on as he spoke ruthlessly.
-The plan remains the same.
After giving the order, he coldly left the office, his expression cold and austere.
Give Rafael the opportunity to harm him next?
Leopoldo would not give it, any more than Rafael would give him a chance. If he dared to mess with
Leopoldo, he should have expected to end up like this from the beginning. Rafael was to blame for
everything he was doing now.
-Why hasn't he come back yet?
Mariana was sitting on the sofa, glancing toward the door every now and then, but Leopoldo wasn't half
visible.
It was almost an hour before the end of the day. Yesterday, Leopoldo had told her that he would
definitely come back for dinner after work. Not only to keep her company, but also the baby she was
carrying.
In Leopoldo's eyes, this child was especially important.
The nanny was in the kitchen preparing the last dish with a happy face. She was in a good mood since
she knew that the lady was pregnant. Especially Leopoldo, whose attitude had changed one hundred
and eighty degrees.
It was estimated that the only person who could change Leopoldo was Mariana.
-The address was sent to you, and I delivered it there a moment ago -the driver called and told the
person on the other end of the line, with determination in his eyes. He was sure it was the place.
What followed was a tone of disbelief that filled the driver's voice.
-It can't be.
The nanny, seeing this, also rushed forward, ready to spy something.
-Not so much, a little lesson will suffice, why take someone's life? I see that Mrs. Borges is not a very
bad person.
The words that came out of the driver's mouth had revealed the content of the call.
"To kill Mrs. Borges? That's terrible."
The nanny recoiled unconsciously, feeling horrified by what she had heard.
All the people in the house were Leopoldo's people, and it seemed that was Leopoldo's intention as
well. The nanny was apprehensive, hesitating whether to tell Mariana or not.
Just now, she had heard Mariana say that she wanted to help Sofia.
But now, not everything was the same. After today, would Sofia cease to exist in this world? The nanny
thought about it for half a day, but she didn't dare to think about it anymore.
There were things in which she, a subordinate, should not interfere.
She looked at the soup on the table and prepared to take it to the dining room. It was getting closer and
closer to the time of Leopold's return. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
-Madame, Monsieur should be back soon, would you like some soup first?
The nanny went to the dining room with the soup, looked at Mariana, who was sitting on the sofa, and
asked with concern.
Mariana was a good person.
-Okay.
Mariana was about to refuse, but thinking of the little life she was carrying in her belly, she answered
gently. It was not too much to take advantage of the fact that Leopoldo had not returned for some soup
to fill her stomach.
The nanny served the soup and walked in Mariana's direction.
At the same time, the driver also happened to approach and walked towards Mariana as if he had
something to say. Before she could move forward, the driver's cell phone rang.
-Ah...
The nanny was startled to hear a phone call and spilled the soup on her plate.
-What's going on? -Mariana saw what the nanny looked like and felt something was wrong.
How come the nanny spilled the soup when she was standing next to her and about to give it to her to
drink? The phone was not human, why was the nanny showing such a frightened expression?
Seeing this, the driver rushed to help clean up the situation.
-I don't need you to do it, I'll do it myself!
The nanny's behavior revealed great resistance to the other person coming to help.
But such a move made Mariana even more confused.
-What did you do to her? -Mariana looked at the driver and questioned the other party directly. Under
her own nose, she still dared to bully someone.
The driver scrutinized the nanny, his eyes full of innocence.
-I didn't do anything.
The nanny squatted on the floor to clean up the broken bowls, unable to hold her tongue.
-Ma'am, I have something to tell you....
Leopoldo took a short nap in the car, ready to face Mariana in his best condition once he got home. At
the special moment, he had to be in a better mood than Mariana.
He had to be with her during this time of pregnancy and be happy.
He was about to get out of the car when he saw the housekeeper and the nanny waiting at the door.
Leopoldo knew something might have happened to Mariana. He opened the window and his
expression was cold.
-What's wrong? -Leopoldo looked coldly at the butler.
The butler's mouth had better say something he would like to hear. Otherwise, with one word, he could
tell these people to get lost immediately. If something happened to Mariana, it would not be possible to
just "get lost."
-Young master, the lady has just left -the housekeeper looked at Leopoldo and told him patiently.
Her departure could not be hidden from Leopoldo.
-Where did she go? -Leopoldo looked the other way and asked indifferently.
"Didn't I tell Mariana to wait for me? How is it that this woman was so disobedient and left when I said I
would return?"
