The moment Fernanda's funeral ended, Daniela's water broke.
Megan exclaimed, "I told her she was pregnant and shouldn't be at this event. She wouldn't listen, look what happened! It's disrespectful!"
"I wonder if the old lady will be able to rest in peace."
This remark was truly outrageous.
Emilia couldn't bear it anymore and retorted, "You're just standing there with your mouth running!"
"From Grandma's hospitalization to the funeral, Daniela has handled everything meticulously."
"You finally show up and start picking at her. How shameless!"
Daniela just wanted to pay her last respects to Fernanda. Why all the unnecessary words?
Sebastian was away, and she was standing in for him.
Besides, with her unborn grandchild, how could she not stand? How was it disrespectful? How could the old lady not rest in peace?
Megan was astonished that a young girl dared to talk back to her. Her face turned sour.
"She's pregnant, it's bad luck! I was only looking out for her!"
"She insisted on being here, now this whole mess has happened, who wants to see it?"
"Picking at her? If I wanted to pick at her, I'd have kicked her out!"
Megan pointed at the water on the floor. "Do you know how significant this is? This could affect the Romero Family's fortune!"
Emilia couldn't help but laugh at her.
What century are we in? Still clinging to these superstitions?
She realized this wasn't superstition, but an attempt to find fault with Daniela!
Daniela's stomach was cramping with pain.
She gritted her teeth, grabbed Emilia, and gestured for her to stop.
Bernard also persuaded, "Just keep quiet."
This was Fernanda's funeral, after all.
Besides, the priority now was to get Daniela to the hospital.
Emilia glared at Megan with hatred and helped Daniela into the car.
The car sped away, leaving everyone standing there dumbfounded.
Looking at the crowd, Megan forced a smile. "I... I was just a little too anxious."
"I was worried about her and the baby, and I also worried that the old lady wouldn't be able to rest peacefully because of this..."
"Who knew that girl had such a fiery temper."
Mr. Rodriguez snorted heavily, "The girl's temper is a bit strong, but she's right."
"With Sebastian missing and the old lady passing away, Daniela has been handling everything at home and the company."
"Her contributions and filial piety are evident. You can't just pick at her with your little bit of seniority."
The old lady couldn't rest peacefully because you all drove her to it!
Megan's face turned white.
Mr. Rodriguez had always kept his distance from them, always polite during their occasional encounters.
But this time, he was essentially slapping her face.
However...
Mr. Rodriguez was not someone she could afford to provoke.
Harold was equally bewildered.
She had planned to stir up trouble at the funeral and drive Daniela out of the Romero Family.
But once they got there, not only Harold, but also those from the Romero Group family, didn't dare utter a word.
What was going on?
Were they all afraid of a pregnant Daniela?
She couldn't understand!
But Harold didn't offer any explanation, he just grunted and left.
How could he explain?
Ivan, that bastard, was also inexplicably protective of Daniela.
If he dared to say anything to Daniela, Ivan would expose his secrets.
Who was Ivan?
The CEO of Jones Group!
His tactics and strategy were no less impressive than Sebastian's!
Harold dared not defy him!
He could only submit!
...
Daniela didn't bother with the aftermath of the funeral.
She was lying in a hospital bed, silently enduring wave after wave of labor pain.
