Bianca had seen Albina’s handwriting before, so she recognized it from the first moment she received the card.
But Diana’s eager appearance made her suspicious.
-It’s Albina’s handwriting, but why do you look like that?
-I’m surprised that Albina has been unaware of Adrian’s inability to swim for so long and has even asked him to meet her at the pool,” Diana explained.
Antonio, who had been watching her with a deadpan expression, listened to her provocative words, and said:
-The pool has never been opened in the days that Albina has been with the Espina family, and it is natural that she does not know it. There is only one thing that seems strange to me.
Normally Antonio left family matters in Bianca’s hands, but this was a serious matter for his children and he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Diana looked at Antonio’s cold stare and for a moment felt a pang of panic.
-Why did the whole pool fill up with water today?
That was also what Bianca found strange, and that’s why she sent for the maid who was in charge of the pool.
Diana was nervous, but tried to look calm.
-Dad, I’m not so sure about this. I haven’t been swimming either these days and I was surprised to see the pool full of water.
At that moment, the maid who managed the pool was called.
She nervously entered, saw the serious faces of Antonio and Bianca and, without waiting for them to ask her anything, she hurried to tell them what she knew.
-My lord and my lady, I remember very well that the pool was not opened since Miss Albina returned, but we have always cleaned it. Normally the pool gates are not locked and anyone can enter. No doubt someone has been there since yesterday afternoon.
When he finished, his eyes lit up.
-We can check the surveillance for the last two days, we just need to find out who snuck in during that time and we’ll know who did it.
-We’ve sent someone to look at the surveillance.
Antonio looked a little annoyed and looked at Diana. He already suspected her, but he still had no proof.
Of all the people in the family who harbored ill will towards Adrian, Diana was certainly one of them. The fact that this girl was also present at the scene of the accident made it even more suspicious.
Diana could feel the suspicious looks from Antonio and Bianca, but she ignored them and tried not to appear nervous.
The man who had gone to investigate the surveillance returned with a slightly strange expression and looked at Antonio and Bianca.
-Your Honor and Madam, all the surveillance at the pool from yesterday afternoon until today has disappeared. We found that the surveillance equipment there had been smashed.
Antonio and Bianca were startled, then looked at Diana.
“No wonder she seemed so brave, she was already prepared and all the evidence was destroyed.”
At that moment, footsteps were heard at the entrance to the staircase.
-Dad, Mom!
Adrian’s clear voice was heard.
Antonio and Bianca hurried toward the staircase.
While Antonio’s expression remained calm, Bianca could barely contain her emotions and her eyes burst red as she placed Adrian in his arms.
-My Adrian almost had an accident.
Her voice was full of fear. She choked slightly and trembled at the thought of never seeing Adrian again.
Adrian was embraced by Bianca and the aggression in her heart suddenly surfaced. She tried to hold it back so as not to cry, but she couldn’t control the tears.
Adrian let go of Bianca’s arms, and said with his eyes fixed on Diana:
-Mom, I have something to say.
The boy took a deep breath before speaking again.
-This morning, when I woke up, I picked up this card at the door of my room. It was Albina’s handwriting and I thought she had some little secret to tell me, so I happily went to the appointment after dinner. When I got to the pool, I saw that it was full of water and I thought Albina wanted to swim, so I thought about how to tell her that I couldn’t swim when suddenly someone pushed me from behind.
Her voice began to tremble.
-I was so blinded by the water that I couldn’t see exactly who it was, but I could see a person standing on the shore. It was Albina who saved me when I was about to drown, and it was Diana standing on the shore.
Adrian sounded very agitated and pointed to Diana.
-It’s you! You’re the one who pushed me into the water! You tried to kill me!
Internet users were speculating about what had just happened, and now that they heard Adrian’s story, comments erupted.
-Wow, this is murder!
-If Diana did it then she’s too vicious. He is the brother she grew up with.
-It strikes me that she would dare to do something like this when we’re still shooting.
Of course, there were some loyal fans who had been excoriating Diana.
-I don’t think it’s her, there are a lot of people watching this show. I don’t think she would dare take such a risk and commit a crime in full view of everyone.
-This boy said he didn’t see who it was that pushed him!
-Yes, how can he be so sure that Diana did it?
-Oh, is he so falsely accusing Diana just because she’s an adopted daughter?
Diana didn’t know the Internet was talking about it. She laughed inwardly and looked around the room full of images, thinking she couldn’t let this go or the whole world would say she was a murderer.
At this thought, she showed a distressed expression, as if she was about to burst into tears the next moment.
-Adrian, I know you don’t like me, but you can’t accuse me unfairly. I know you can’t swim, so how could I push you into the water? We had some minor conflicts before, but I couldn’t get you killed for that. I couldn’t do something like that after all our years of affection.
She then glanced at the card.
-Besides, Albina asked you to go to the pool. I didn’t know you’d be there beforehand, I saw you go there and followed you. Even if you want to suspect someone, you shouldn’t suspect me.
As soon as the words left his mouth, an icy voice was heard from the second floor.
-Who said I wrote this card?
