Daniela's face turned cold.

No matter what Mrs. Mario's intentions were, her words had put the responsibility of whether or not to dismantle the orphanage on Daniela's shoulders.

If she refused to kneel, the rumors would spread and she would be drowned in a sea of saliva.

“Get up first.”

Daniela tried to pull Mona up, but Mona didn't move, clearly afraid to confront Mrs. Mario.

Everyone else in the room remained silent.

The children outside also quieted down, seemingly sensing the confrontation in the room and the impending loss of their home, the confusion and helplessness.

Daniela sighed slightly.

She couldn't just ignore it.

“Hugo, can I borrow your phone?”

Sebastian, of course, had witnessed the situation in the office.

Seeing Daniela asking for someone's phone, he was both angry and slightly proud.

He was angry because Daniela knew to call for help. Why didn't she do it yesterday? Now that things had gone wrong, she remembered to call him?

He was proud because things had gone wrong, and Daniela still had to call him. She had pretended to be independent before, but now she knew how cruel the world was, right?

Of course, Daniela had just been frightened yesterday, and he wouldn't hold this small matter against her.

Sebastian took out his phone, waiting for Daniela to call.

After waiting for a while, he didn't hear the phone ring. Sebastian frowned and looked into the room, only to see Daniela already on the phone, explaining something.

Sebastian: ...

The smile on his face was gone, replaced by gritted teeth.

This woman, wasn't she calling Lucas?

Juan pushed up his glasses, pretending not to see anything.

Daniela was calling Andy. She didn't know how the Mario Family worked, but Andy was someone close to Fernanda, and he naturally had some influence.

Andy readily agreed without saying anything.

Daniela didn't know that after hanging up the phone, Andy went to find Fernanda.

Fernanda waved her hand: “Such a trivial matter, why do you need your old bones to get involved? Give Sebastian a call.”

The call still went to Sebastian in the end.

Sebastian hung up the phone expressionlessly, coldly saying: “In the end, I’m still the one who has to deal with it.”

She was smart, she knew to call her grandmother instead of Lucas.

Otherwise, how could Lucas, a doctor, deal with this?

Juan pushed up his glasses, still silent.

During this time, another person walked into the office.

Mona's body couldn't help but tremble violently.

Daniela returned the phone to Hugo, just as she heard Mrs. Mario, with a little guilt, greet the newcomer: "You…why did you come?”

Mr. Cole, as if seeing a lifeline, quickly went up to greet him: “Mr. Mario, it’s such a small matter, why did you come here?”

Mr. Mario ignored him, instead looking at Mrs. Mario: "How could you run here without consulting me? I told you, you can't be so reckless about adoption."

Mrs. Mario angrily retorted: “Consult? She’s already climbed into your bed, what’s there to consult about?”

“I know, you blame me for not being able to have children, and you've long wanted to replace me as Mrs. Mario.”

“But don’t forget, why can't I have children? It’s all because of you!”

Mr. Mario looked embarrassed: "What are you talking about? I treat her like a daughter. Besides, I never blamed you for not being able to have children, didn’t we agree to adopt?”

Mrs. Mario sneered back: "Heh, anyway, I don't want Mona anymore. If you want to adopt, then bring my brother’s youngest son.”

“He’s a boy, and he’s related to you, let's see how you bring him to bed!”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Mr. Mario’s face darkened, and he roared.

Mrs. Mario burst into tears: “You’re still yelling at me! Look at my clothes, I just got here and haven't even spoken yet, and I’ve already been splashed all over, and you’re still yelling at me!”

Mr. Mario frowned: “Who did it!”
