Chapter 54: Find this woman
Leopold's mind was still thinking about the image he had just seen, and he felt fear in his heart. When
he raised his head again, his eyes were already very cold and severe, he was calm, like the calm that
precedes the storm, revealing signs that made people fear.
People were surprised by this scene.
The crowd in the bar surrounded Leopoldo and Mariana, whispering something.
The bar, which had just been noisy, was already very quiet. The crowd waited with bated breath for
what was about to happen, but no one dared to approach.
Leopold looked at the Lionel behind him, then looked at the man and commanded cruelly:
-Give him a lesson.
Hearing that command, Lionel began to beat the man fiercely.
Mariana was already out of Leopoldo's arms and standing to the side. Staring at the man on the
ground, Mariana was indifferent as Leopoldo at this moment.
However, no one knew that at this moment Mariana was clenching her fists, causing pain. She averted
her gaze and looked at Leopoldo, who was beside her. Mariana now had complicated feelings, but she
was grateful to Leopoldo.
If it weren't for him, he didn't dare to think what would have happened next.
When the two men stopped, the man on the ground was already in agony, lying on the ground
moaning, his body covered with bruises.
At that moment the bar owner arrived, but was stopped by Lionel, who gave him a business card.
When he saw the name Leopoldo Durán, his legs trembled slightly and he was about to say something
when he was rudely interrupted by Lionel,
-My boss is just here for a drink, please don't make a scene. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
After saying this, he took a check out of his pocket and handed it to the bar owner.
The boss looked at the numbers on the check, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but swallow as he
reached out and carefully took the check.
-Do as you wish.
After saying that, he left, not caring about what had just happened.
Lionel approached Leopoldo and said in a respectful voice:
-Sir, the matter is resolved, do you want to go back now?
Right after saying this, Mariana said anxiously:
-I'm looking for a woman wearing a short black skirt, she had long black curly hair. She is wearing a
make-up, she is very important!
He said as he tugged on Leopoldo's sleeve.
Leopoldo looked at his sleeve pulled by Mariana and had complicated feelings.
Finally, he looked at Lionel and ordered:
-Find this woman.
Without even asking Mariana the cause.
Lionel bowed his head and answered yes, then had his inferiors block the door and lined up the women
inside to meet the woman.
Mariana remained silent next to Leopoldo, the stillness between the two made her feel a little
uncomfortable. Biting the corner of her mouth, Mariana looked at Leopoldo and took the initiative to
ask:
-Why are you here?
Leopoldo responded indifferently.
-After a pause, he continued, "Did you come to look for the woman?
His tone had a sense of oppression.
Mariana nodded her head and responded with sincerity:
-I was walking down the road and I looked at the neon lights here and they looked familiar, so I came
here.
Leopoldo looked at the men and women in the bar. His eyes were full of coldness. There were many
bad people here.
-Mr. Durán, why are you here?
Leopoldo looked at Mariana and said nothing.
At that moment, Lionel approached and listened to Mariana's question. He looked at Leopoldo and
sighed lightly in his heart. He then turned to Mariana, with a smile on his face, and said:
-Madam, Mr. Durán asked me to investigate the person behind Diario de Mariana in private. I received
the news today, but I did not expect to find you here.
After a pause, he added:
-It seems that Mr. and Mrs. think alike.
Mariana did not expect it to be for this reason. She looked at Leopoldo, even in the atmosphere of
darkness, one could appreciate the noble and cold aura. His heart was pounding as if he was
expressing his affection.
-I can do these things myself, after all, I am the culprit.
She lowered her head, her snow-white, thin neck exposed. She felt depressed.
Leopoldo noticed her sadness and his heart trembled slightly. After all, everything that had happened
was because of her. It seemed that no one who was related to her was going to be lucky. At that
moment, he found it hard to smile.
-Mrs. Ortiz, how can this be your business? Your business is Mr. Durán's business. A few days ago, Mr.
Durán even ordered me to prevent the disclosure on Facebook of this matter.
Hearing this, Mariana looked at the man in front of her in surprise, feeling incredulous.
-Didn't he...?
She didn't finish saying the words.
"Yes, Xavier also didn't say that the business of withdrawing the hot search was done by him, did he?"
