That box was simple and elegant, even the outside was covered in white feathers, giving it a noble feel.
Diana entered the room and stood in front of the box.
On the box was written “Angel Studio”, so she guessed it to have been designed by a master.
She thought there must be clothes inside.
Diana reached out and opened the box to find a dress that looked like it was made of silver silk. Sunlight streamed in through the window and reflected off the dress, causing it to look beautiful with its fine silver sheen.
That wasn’t all, the bird embroidery that snaked from the chest to the waist was beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, it had large and small jade stones adorning the tail feathers.
Diana unconsciously held her breath.
Even in all her years in the Espina family, she had never seen such a beautiful dress.
The jade stones alone that adorned the dress were worth a fortune.
The value of this garment was incalculable.
-I can’t believe they put so many jades in one dress,” Diana murmured, reaching out almost obsessively.
It would be heartbreaking to lose just one.
She gingerly touched the jade, and smiled unconsciously.
This dress was of a more youthful style, and there were only two women in the house, her and Bianca, so this dress must have been made for Bianca.
Thinking that her days of flattery had worked, Diana was secretly delighted and carefully picked up the garment and compared it to her body.
The sizing had to be right, but the waist was designed to be loose. She liked it to be fitted to show off her slim waist.
But the dress was pretty enough and expensive enough that she could accept this imperfection.
Diana was thinking beautifully when suddenly there was an angry shout from the doorway.
-What are you doing?!
This roar startled Diana, her fingers reflexively loosened and the dress fell into the box.
It was Hector standing in the doorway.
But his appearance was completely different from usual. Hector had always been indifferent to Diana, and even when he scolded her last time, he wasn’t as scary as he was now.
He was very angry and seemed to have flames in his eyes, which were especially frightening.
-I don’t…
Diana was about to explain when she saw Hector pounce on her, pushing her away with one hand.
He inspected the dress with some panic and care, and was relieved to find that it was undamaged, and carefully placed it in the box.
Diana held the dresser behind her, still stunned.
If she hadn’t reacted quickly a moment ago, she would have hit the dresser.
At that moment, although Diana was frightened in front of Hector, she couldn’t help but let out a hint of excitement.
-Brother, what are you doing? Do you know you almost got me hurt?
Hector carefully held the box in his arms and looked at her with indifference.
-Who let you move this dress? Do you know the rules? Is this dress yours?
Diana was stunned for a moment and raised her chin defiantly.
-This is Mom’s room, and the style of dress is for young girls. There are only two of us women in the house, so of course Mom had this dress made for me.
She said with a straight face, but Hector’s eyes became even more indifferent and he scoffed.
-Diana, you take yourself too seriously, have you forgotten that you are an adopted daughter? This dress is my sister’s, not yours. Have you been in the Espina family so long that you’ve forgotten who you are?
Hector knew his words were a bit sharp, but Diana now considered herself completely the second mistress of the Espina family, she didn’t even seem to remember that the Espina family had a biological daughter.
Besides, he knew that Diana had been presenting herself as Mrs. Espina family on the outside, using the disguise for her own benefit and enjoying the compliments of others.
Over time, she forgot what her parents told her when they adopted her.
She didn’t put herself in her place and tried to covet Albina’s things.
It was unforgivable!
In the past, Hector might have put up with her behavior, but now that Albina was coming back, he had to solve the hidden problems for her in advance.
Diana was already stunned by Hector’s words.
She was very frightened and her face was pale, this time not because of Hector’s dislike for her, but because of her sister.
Diana knew that Hector had been looking for the real daughter of the Espina family, and that this dress was the one he himself had admitted to having given to her sister.
In the past, Hector had ordered custom-made dresses, but now that he had it made for her, did that mean they had found her?
As she guessed, Hector gave her an indifferent look and suddenly smiled.
It was clearly an incomparably handsome face, but Diana could see a hint of mischief.
-You guessed it, I’ve found my sister and she’ll be home in a couple of days, so get ready.
Hector turned to leave after speaking, not bothering to look at her terrified expression.
If she had been more peaceful and hadn’t coveted things that didn’t belong to her, Hector wouldn’t have been so hard on her.
However, Diana was anything but quiet and kept making little moves in private. Apart from Antonio, Bianca and him, who could see her thoughts and movements, the family servants, including her younger brother, Adrian, were subliminally influenced by her and did not know that there was a real lady in the Espina family.
Diana was really scared to the point of panic.
She never thought that Hector could really find her sister.
Where should he go when Albina returned?
Antonio and Bianca were nice to her now, but as soon as their daughter returned, there would be no place for her.
Although when they adopted her, they made it clear that she could not exist beyond their own daughter.
But she had been in the Espina family for so many years that she had long since gotten used to being the only daughter in the family.
As soon as Diana thought about everything she had now becoming someone else’s, with everyone surrounding the real second mistress and she was alone on the side, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
The most important thing was that she was now so prosperous on the outside and had everything thanks to the Espina family.
If others knew she was an adopted daughter, would she ever have everything she had now again?
Diana instantly became nervous and rushed out of the room, she wanted to ask questions and wanted to be prepared beforehand.
But she didn’t know what she should do, should she stop Albina from coming home?
Diana suddenly had an idea, as long as she could disappoint Albina, it would be impossible for her to stay in the Espina family!
