Episode 18

The time had come for Diana to finish getting ready to go downstairs. Antonio had arrived at the mansion for her a couple of minutes ago.

I didn't like waiting for Antonio, but I had clear instructions to take Diana to the civil registry.

The first one to come down and greet Antonio was Tania, who looked like a society lady. When she saw Antonio standing outside her mansion, the bad memories of the previous night flooded her mind.

Swallowing her pride, Tania started walking towards where Edwin's black car was waiting for Diana.

"Has Mr. Zhoa sent any gifts for us?" Mrs. Wlop asked Antonio upon arriving.

Antonio looked at the woman in front of him, unable to believe the audacity she possessed. Even before her son became Mrs. Zhoa, she was already asking for gifts on Edwin's behalf.

"I regret to inform you that Mr. Zhoa has not sent any gifts," Antonio respectfully replied.

Immediately, Tania frowned. She had hoped Edwin would have sent the documents he had retrieved from the Judge's wife.

Frustrated by not getting what she desired, Tania turned back towards the mansion, where she encountered her husband heading outside as well.

"Don't bother going; that wretch hasn't sent us anything. It seems like he won't easily give in," Tania commented in frustration.

"Do you think he suspects something?" Emiliano's voice sounded suspicious.

Upon Emiliano's question, Tania quickly looked up to ensure Diana or anyone else couldn't overhear them.

"I don't think so. If he did, and that man only had a suspicion of what we did a year ago, he would have sent us to jail for our actions. He wouldn't have agreed to marry Diana," Tania replied.

Emiliano brought his hand to his face in desperation. He was afraid that one day everything would be revealed.

Now that Diana would be under their control, if Edwin ever found out about Sara's existence and the cruel way they had treated her, he would have no mercy on them.

"Yes, Diana dares to tell Edwin that Emma drugged her that night, and with someone else's help, they put her in his bed, resulting in her pregnancy. And we've been blackmailing her with Sara all this time so that she does everything we want," Emiliano said.

As Tania listened to her husband's words, the smile on her lips gradually faded. Tania didn't want Diana to have a good life after what she had done as a child.

Why should Diana, who had killed her son and left her barren for life, end up rewarded by having her daughter by her side and enjoying a luxurious life with Edwin?

Because if Edwin ever found out what they had done to Diana, he would do everything in his power to rectify the mistake of mistaking her for Emma that night.

Moreover, Edwin would do everything possible to give Sara the life she had not been able to enjoy since her birth.

"No!"

"I will never allow Diana to be happy with her daughter! Diana killed my son, and I will never allow the murderer of my little Marcelo to be happy. I would rather kill Sara a thousand times so she feels the same pain I feel for losing my son," Tania declared.

Emiliano stepped back, distancing himself from his wife. The words that came out of Tania's mouth were terrifying. How could she say she would kill her own granddaughter?

That crossed any boundary that anyone could tolerate. Killing a one-year-old baby was unforgivable, especially when that baby had their blood, something he would never allow.

"For God's sake, Tania, have you gone mad? How can you say such madness?"

Whether you like it or not, Sara is our granddaughter. We were the ones who put Diana in that man's bed, but wanting to harm the baby is a whole different story, and I will never allow it.

After finishing speaking, Emiliano walked away to his office, leaving Tania there by herself. Tania was so furious with the words her husband had said that she couldn't help but shed a few tears of importance.

Meanwhile, in Diana's room, the girl was finishing getting ready. Diana looked somewhat different in the dress Edwin had sent her.

The dress Edwin had sent Diana was from a well-known global brand, designed solely for a very special woman.

The reason why Edwin had sent Diana something so exclusive and refined was unknown. Because he would have been incapable of buying such a unique item for the woman he hated the most.

Diana looked at herself in the mirror in front of her; the girl had never imagined that one day she would be wearing such a luxurious and exquisite garment, all to marry a stranger.

"How do I look in this dress? Don't you think it's too luxurious for me?" Diana asked Aria, who was helping her get dressed.

"You look very beautiful, this dress is something strange, but at the same time, it's beautiful. It's evident that Mr. Zhoa has good taste in choosing," replied Aria, finishing styling Diana's hair.

Diana didn't share the same opinion as Aria. True, the dress was very elegant, but it concealed something. Because even if she didn't know the story behind Edwin and Emma, it was impossible for a man who despised a woman so much to be kind enough to buy such a beautiful dress for his worst enemy.
