Diana saw that it was Hector and instantly gave him a shy smile.
-Brother, good morning.
The excitement of wanting to approach, but not daring to do so with caution was perfectly conveyed.
-Wow, that smile broke down my defenses.
-How much abuse did it take in the Espina family to show that look.
-Diana must be desperate for that big brother to like her….. Mr. Hector sure is handsome, but he’s too cold.
-Yes, look at the look on his face. He doesn’t even show any emotion when he sees Diana mopping the floor.
-I won’t comment for now, maybe there’s something hidden there.
-Still, the Espina family is so rich that they have no shortage of maids, so there’s no need to purposely adopt a foster daughter to put her to such menial work.
There were several reasonable people in the audience.
Although there was a lot of confusion, Hector took the floor.
-If I remember correctly, you usually get up around ten o’clock, so it’s very odd that you’re up so early today.
When Hector finished speaking, he smiled.
-Since you know the shoot starts today, have you deliberately put on a show in front of the camera? I remember that this show is about letting the public know about your usual private routine and….
Diana didn’t expect Hector to speak the truth so loudly in front of the camera, and that he wasn’t afraid of the live format.
She laughed awkwardly.
-I usually get up at this time, that’s my routine. You don’t usually live at home, so of course you don’t know.
She brought up the fact that Hector didn’t usually live in the Espina family.
“Very funny.”
Hector raised his eyebrows and smiled a little.
-Is that so?
-Of course,” Diana ducked her head sheepishly and continued to scrub the floor painstakingly.
Hector stood on the stairs, looking down at her from above, and said:
-Ain’t there a maid in the house? What are you doing here?
-I am mopping the floor. The maids have left for the morning, so no one will be cleaning the place, and I thought it would be better to leave it clean because you are all going downstairs and Albina is pregnant,” said Diana as she smiled. Don’t worry, brother, I’m very handy at this job. I’ll have it cleaned up in a minute.
The emerging comments bristled instantly.
-Very skilled? Diana seems to have done it many times.
-That pregnant Albina you speak of is the real daughter of the Espina family, isn’t she?
-I suppose so. It’s ironic, the real daughter hasn’t woken up yet and the adopted daughter is already hard at work. This family is too biased, even an adopted daughter can’t be treated like this.
-Diana is still worried about that Albina right now. How kind she is.
-It’s only six o’clock, isn’t it? Pregnant women are supposed to be sleepy, so this shouldn’t be a black mark.
-Yeah, I used to sleep until noon when I was pregnant.
-Besides, what’s wrong with being partial? There is already a difference between a biological daughter and an adopted daughter. It’s obvious there would be a difference.
But no one paid any attention to this at all, and Diana deliberately hired an army to publicize the Espina family’s eccentricity in a frenzy of commentary.
In the first-floor bedroom, Umberto had risen early. He glanced at Albina, who was still asleep under the covers, then at the frantic stream of pop-ups on the screen and instructed his men to control the comments.
“Only when the counterattack comes, you’ll feel a big slap.”
At the same time, Hector sneered:
-After all your years in the Espina family, you still don’t know the maids’ schedules?
Since the elders in the Espina family were early risers, the maids basically cleaned all the areas before five o’clock. Since today was a special day because the program team arrived early in the morning, the maids finished cleaning around four o’clock.
The Espina family was kind to the maids and allowed them to sleep late after the early morning cleaning was finished. There were even two groups of maids who took turns with each other.
After explaining, Hector pointed to the floor that had been mopped by Diana, and said in an indifferent voice:
-Diana, if you clean regularly, you should know that this is a solid wood floor and should not be touched with water.
In one sentence, Diana’s charade was practically demolished.
And Diana’s fans stopped talking.
-A moment ago her fans were cursing like crazy, why aren’t they saying anything now?
-I think she’s a bitch. How pretentious.
-Does this count as a personal image collapse?
-Her image collapsed a long time ago, okay? She used to say she was a real lady, and recently it was revealed that she was just an adopted daughter.
-Oh, monster of vanity!
-You say you clean a lot, but you don’t even know that. You’re a liar.
Doria was anxious as she looked at the comments, but she didn’t understand them and she was slow typing, so she could only watch as her granddaughter was being bullied. She was so angry and anxious that she almost lost her breath.
Just as Antonio and Bianca were returning from their walk outside, they saw the two of them standing at the entrance to the staircase.
Diana had an embarrassed expression as she picked up the rag and bucket at her feet, and the two elders understood everything instantly.
Bianca frowned and said to Diana:
-Diana, what are you doing?
-Mom, she just told me she was cleaning and she said she was used to do it, is that true? -asked Hector as he crossed Diana and approached Bianca and then put his arm around her shoulders.
Bianca immediately frowned at his words and made a sad face.
-Diana, how can you say such things? When have I ever treated you badly since you walked through the door of the Espina family? There are many maids in the house, why do you need to do that? You really break my heart.
Compared to Diana’s somewhat bland face, Bianca’s was softer and gentler, and when tears came to her eyes, she was even more pitiful than her.
Not to mention the Espina family, the viewers in front of the screen were also heartbroken.
-Look at Bianca, how ungrateful Diana is.
-It is decided. From now on, Diana will be called ungrateful.
All the comments were scolding Diana, and both Hector and Antonio were busy consoling Bianca.
Bianca winked at the two men while the camera wasn’t looking. That was a rare look of mischief that almost made them laugh.
At that moment, two somewhat sleepy voices came from the second floor.
-Mom, what’s the matter? Who made you cry?
