“So you had just called Albina!”
Gloria was full of shock, Albina’s husband’s family was powerful, she couldn’t provoke her. But now she had no other way out, at her age, there was no way to have other children, only Ariana could raise her.
After thinking it over and over, Gloria boldly looked at Albina and the several black-clad bodyguards behind her and said:
-This is a matter for our family, we don’t need outsiders interfering, it’s better to mind your own business.
The bodyguards cut off the crowd of onlookers, preventing them from taking pictures and videos. Albina walked to Ariana’s side and saw that Gloria was still holding Ariana’s leg, she immediately frowned.
-Let go of your hand, or I don’t mind using another method. You must not want to see such a bloody scene.
Gloria was surprised by his harsh tone and unconsciously let go of his leg.
But on second thought, Ariana couldn’t run away now anyway, so she let her go.
-Miss Espina, I repeat, it’s our business, no need for outsiders to have an opinion. You are not qualified even if you are Ariana’s best friend.
Albina gave her an amused look and took Ariana’s hand in hers.
-I’m not only Ariana’s friend, I’m also her family. There is something I didn’t tell you, the person who sponsored Ariana’s schooling back then was my father, my parents have already recognized her as their goddaughter, do you think we are related?
At these words, Gloria was confused.
-Why didn’t I know this? I am her real mother, why didn’t she tell me about something so important? I didn’t accept that.
Albina scoffed.
-How could you know? If you hadn’t snatched Ariana’s license plate, how could she have ended up in that pitiful state? Your heart was only full of your son at the time. I really didn’t think that after so many years, you still dared to ask Ariana to support you.
She finished speaking and then thought for a while.
-Even with a mother like you, Ariana is not an ungrateful person. In addition to the money she gave you in previous years, she gave you a huge sum of money a few days ago, enough for a normal person to live on for decades. She has been quite kind, so don’t go overboard with your demands and don’t try to bully her all the time.
Ariana looked at Albina standing in front of her, defending her. Her eyes were slightly red, she was very moved.
-Albina…
-Don’t be afraid,” Albina turned her head and pinched her cheek. I knew you weren’t ruthless enough. Even if you did him a favor, he wouldn’t even remember how good you are. Don’t worry, I’m here today and I won’t let him bother you.
As she finished, she turned her head to look at Gloria, and her eyes instantly became indifferent.
-Go back to where you came from, and don’t bother Ariana. If you are desperate in the future, she will not abandon you and will pay you alimony according to the state. But if you dare to harass her, I will definitely hurt you.
When she said the last sentence, she deliberately lowered her voice so that only she and Gloria could hear her.
Gloria’s face was full of horror.
-Do you want to kill me?
Albina smiled.
-That depends on whether you know what you must do.
-It’s against the law, you can’t…..
Gloria’s lips trembled with fear, Albina’s smile was sweet, but in her eyes, she felt like a demon.
-I’m not going to break the law, but I don’t know what my husband would do for revenge if he knows I’m being harassed.
Albina stroked her nails and said slowly.
-He loves me very much, and he has many methods of revenge, do you want to try them? The kind of methods that don’t break the law, but make you live a life worse than death.
Ariana also shuddered with fear at hearing this.
She felt that Albina had spent too much time with Umberto and had become ruthless.
Gloria’s face was pale and she looked at Albina in disbelief, then at Ariana who was protected by her, and hesitated greatly.
She didn’t dare offend the Santangel Family, but she wasn’t willing to let Ariana go like that either. After weighing the pros and cons, she took a deep breath.
-Give me another sum of money if you won’t support me.
Albina was angered by his shamelessness.
-Are you trying to push your daughter to death? Ariana has given up school, are you still not self-sufficient with all the money from the sale of paintings these days?
-It’s very little, and it’s not hard to wiggle your fingers,” Gloria rebutted.
-Do you really think it’s that easy to make money? To paint you need inspiration, how much can a painting be worth without putting in effort and emotion? Do you know how long Ariana sat in front of her easel without eating or drinking just to paint a picture? You are so cruel.
When Albina finished speaking, Gloria’s expression didn’t change, and she even became a little impatient.
-I don’t care what happens to her, she doesn’t support me now, and I can’t fight you. As soon as you’ve given me enough money, I’ll leave and never bother her.
It was so impish, so different from the pathetic way she had just said that her daughter didn’t support her, that even the onlookers who had just spoken for her fell silent.
If Gloria had looked like this a moment ago, no one would have sympathized with her. She was too disgusting.
Albina’s eyes sank.
-Do you think I’m arguing with you?
Ariana tugged on her arm.
-Don’t get angry, you’re still pregnant and it’s not good for the baby.
Albina touched her belly, and the child inside her wiggled viciously as if shocked by Gloria’s shamelessness.
-Be good, I’ll give you a good meal after I teach this bad woman.
After saying this, the baby stopped moving.
-What a thoughtful and good baby.
Then Albina stared at Gloria.
-Am I showing you too much respect? I didn’t hit you because you gave birth to Ariana, do you really think I’m that nice?
-Ma’am,” the bodyguard next to her immediately approached. Do you want us to teach her a lesson?
The other bodyguards evacuated the crowd around them.
-What do you want to do?
Albina smiled.
-Of course I want to do whatever you want.
-Lady, do you want us to break his legs or his hands? That’s an area we specialize in,” one of the bodyguards pulled a stick out of his back.
Albina saw this scene and was silent for a moment.
The people she was carrying were bodyguards, why were they acting like thieves now? It was a bit odd.
