Hector agreed with Umberto.
Sofia did not say a word and watched the people around her with shining eyes.
Albina finally noticed her, as the girl’s gaze was really hard to ignore. She smiled at Sofia and held out her hand.
-Nice to meet you, I’m Albina.
-Nice to meet you,” Sofia hurried to take Albina’s hand as she smiled sweetly. What a coincidence that we are both so beautiful.
Albina froze for a moment and couldn’t hold back a laugh.
“What an interesting girl.”
After introducing herself, Sofia approached Albina and turned twice at her side.
-“Indeed, when I was looking at you from afar, I thought that you and Mr. Antonio looked very much alike, also your two brothers. When you are together, it is even more obvious.
When he said this, the people next to him nodded in agreement.
The three of them didn’t look that much alike from afar, but now that Albina, Hector and Adrian were together, it was apparent that their features seemed to be sculpted from the same mold. Only Albina’s were more feminine and the brothers were more masculine.
-I think Diana is the ugliest in your family, she hasn’t inherited anything from your parents. That face is disgusting and fake at first sight.
Sofia did not hide her dislike for Diana and spoke to Albina with slight misgivings.
Albina knew that that should be a suspicion of Diana’s identity.
In fact, Bianca spoke to her last night that she would not announce Diana’s adoptive identity and apologized to her. Albina didn’t care about that and wasn’t angry. She didn’t want to give Bianca any trouble, so even if Sofia tried her best, Albina wouldn’t take the bait.
But just then, Adrian took the floor.
-Diana is not my parents’ biological daughter, she is the daughter my parents adopted when she was four years old.
The boy’s voice was very clear in the room.
Not only did the guests who heard it freeze, but also Albina and the others.
Hector did not expect his younger brother to suddenly say this and was stunned, but at the same time, he was delighted.
“This kid is serious is amazing, he even announced it in the middle of the banquet. There really is no better way to say it than through Adrian’s mouth. After all, kids don’t keep secrets.”
After Adrian delivered the shocking news, he looked at Hector with innocent eyes.
-Brother, why are you all looking at me like that? Shouldn’t I have told you this?
This question confirmed the truth about Diana’s identity as an adopted daughter.
Antonio and Bianca, who had been trying to avoid the subject, no longer had any way to deny it.
The scene was instantly awkward.
Diana had changed into a new dress and delicate makeup, and after coming downstairs, she found everyone looking at her with really strange eyes and expressions. They even averted their eyes when she looked at them.
Diana had always been very sensitive to other people’s emotions and she was nervous to see that.
She hesitated and turned to her friends, wanting to falsely apologize for what had just happened and ask what had happened in the meantime. As a result, the group of friends dispersed as soon as she approached. They didn’t give her the slightest chance to talk and even her closest friend turned away from her.
The panic in Diana’s heart increased and she pointed at Sofia.
The two of them were rivals, but Sofia was dumb and not good at keeping secrets.
Diana deliberately approached Sofia with an arrogant expression and said:
-Didn’t you just dislike my dress? Look at this one, it’s handmade and custom-made. It’s the latest model that even you couldn’t buy.
Sofia took the bait and looked at Diana with sarcasm.
-Yes, well, congratulations. But an adopted daughter can only accentuate her presence with something like this. Diana, do you really think you are the true daughter of the Espina family? -She said and pointed to Albina, who was standing next to Hector, “The real Miss Espina is back and she’s even married into the Santangel family, so it’s time for you to come out.
Diana felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar upon hearing this.
“What happened, why was my identity as an adopted daughter revealed, didn’t Mom and Dad say they wouldn’t reveal this, why, no, no, no!”
Diana immediately dismissed the suspicion. It couldn’t be Antonio and Bianca, it was impossible for them to go back on their words.
Then, she set her eyes on Hector and Albina.
“It has to be one of the two of them. They didn’t want to see me right, so they deliberately revealed to everyone my status as an adopted daughter while I was away!”
Thinking about this, Diana’s face contorted horribly.
Sophia breathed as if frightened.
-I knew you used to pretend, but now you look horrible like an old hag.
These words made Diana calm down.
“Now is not the time to get angry. There’s probably a good portion of the guests who expect me to make a fool of myself.”
With this in mind, Diana forced a smile and glanced sideways at Sofia before turning to Antonio and Bianca.
She was deliberately affectionate, took Bianca by the hand and greeted her elders with a “mama.”
Bianca knew what she wanted to do and hesitated, but did not reject her.
Despite the mean things this girl had done in private over the past few days, Bianca couldn’t bear to be too hard on the girl she had raised for over twenty years.
She knew Diana should be nervous and scared now about her exposed identity.
Thanks to Diana’s actions and Bianca’s attitude, the situation took a small turn.
Javier’s mother contemplated the scene and said to Javier next to her:
-Look closely, that fiance of yours is not a good person.
