Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 879: You say it all

The more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed to him, so Angelo decided to reject the idea.

-It's impossible! I watched her grow up as a child, so I know her very well. It is impossible that she could have done something so despicable. Cristian, I doubt that you conspired with Vittorio. Is it to cheat a poor old man like me, and not commit yourself to Magdalene?

Vittorio replied, "Grandfather, how is it possible that we conspired to lie to you? It's about our honor and reputation, how could I have told you if it wasn't the truth?

Just then Cristian gave a rather cold laugh and said to his grandfather: -I figured you wouldn't believe us, so...-As he paused, two men with a bound maid entered.

Vittorio blinked and looked very confused by what he had seen, while Angelo understood all at once by recognizing the maid, who was in charge of serving tea. What had happened was that he had not expected his nephew to be so efficient in his actions.

The maid, who was escorted by two men dressed in black, was stunned to see everyone in the room and her face immediately paled. She then began to plead with those two men, saying, "Let me go... let me go, I don't know anything." let me go, I don't know anything ...

Before she was asked about last night, her frantic reaction had already sold her. This convinced Angelo that what Cristian and Vittorio had said might be the truth: Magdalene had indeed done wrong. However, Angelo feared that such dirt would come out, because the Landi family's reputation would probably be ruined by Maddalena.

Considering his close friendship with the Landi family, he could not stand by while Maddalena and her family's reputation was ruined. So, he decided to cover up the reality, wanting her to take it outside, and exclaimed, -What is all this noise? It's giving me a headache, take her outside now!

In everyone's impression, Angelo had never been so hard on the servants; he had always treated them with respect, never with contempt. Right now, however, what he had let go in anger meant that he was panicking and doing everything he could to protect the reputation of the two families.

However, there was no way Cristian would let him get away with this, regardless of whether it was against his grandfather. He felt it was important to tell the truth, no matter what, because he was tired of taking the blame.

-Grandpa, there is no hurry here. We can listen patiently to what you say before we throw you out.

Angelo took a deep breath to calm himself and looked at Cristian. Just then, his gaze met Cristian's, and he was surprised to notice that he was so cold, he even felt that Cristian was not treating him like a grandfather.

Suddenly, what Dominic had said came back to him: do not break Cristian's heart. And that phrase echoed in Angelo's head as he could say nothing in the face of that look on Cristian's face.

He had always believed that he was doing what was best for his grandson, preventing him from following in his mother's footsteps, but... Why did it always end this way? He did not understand what was wrong with what he had done.

The maid stopped screaming innocently when she met Cristian's terrified gaze, then lowered her head without daring to make a sound.

At that moment, the silence was broken by Cristian's boisterous laughter, who then said, "Confess what you did last night, and tell us everything.

Although Cristian was turning to the servant, his gaze still lingered on Angelo, a gaze like a revealer that allowed no one to hide.

After listening to Cristian, the maid trembled with fear and collapsed on the floor because she felt no strength left in her legs. A moment later she raised her head and pleaded with Cristian through tears, "Please forgive me. I was too confused to make this mistake.

If she had known she would be caught, she would never have done it. Cristian really scared her, and one look from him was enough to defeat her. Remembering what she had done at tea for Cristian, she felt that death was already very close.

-Say more details, II Vittorio saw that she was stalling, so he stepped forward and questioned her, -What exactly did you do last night? How was the process? And who ordered you to do it? You say everything! If you get even one word wrong, you'll see!

-Enough!" cried Angelo, unable to bear it any longer. He was no fool, so the maid's words were clear enough for him to get his facts straight. It was simply because he did not accept that Magdalena was up to all this, and he was worried about the reality coming out.

-Grandfather, you are protecting Magdalena, II Cristian scoffed, saying, -And I am not your grandson?

This interrogative question hit Angelo hard, whose pupils shrank slightly as he stared wordlessly at Cristian.

-I really am your nephew," Cristian added.

Angelo replied, -Of course, where did that question come from?

-If I am, then why are you protecting others while you don't care that your grandson is suffering," Cristian continued to ask, with a deep and serious look on his face.

Seeing such a look, Angelo knew that if he continued to help Magdalena instead of forcing Cristian to reveal the truth, Cristian would surely be disappointed by his grandfather's betrayal. So he decided to relen on this, saying, "Okay, continue your questioning.

Seeing Angelo give in, Cristian was pleased but maintained his usual indifference. As Vittorio took the opportunity to intimidate the maid, shaking his fists, he continued, "Do you hear me? Say it now! If you were not a woman, I would have convinced you with my fists. Surely you don't feel like experiencing their strength, do you?

Perhaps Vittorio's threat worked, and you could see that the maid was trembling with fear and didn't take a second to confess everything,-Well, well! It was-it was Miss Magdalena who paid me to do this," After saying this, her eyes suddenly turned red and her voice trembled, probably because she was about to break down. Then he added, "Last night I was about to serve tea to Mr. Angelo and Mr. Cristian as usual, when Miss Magdalena suddenly appeared and gave me a package of medicine. She told me that she would pay me a lot of money if I would pour it into the tea for the master. With what she would give me, I could live worry-free with my whole family. Of course, I was worried about being found out, but the young lady encouraged me that this medicine was colorless and tasteless, that no one would notice. Moreover, she promised me that as soon as I accomplished that mission, she would immediately instruct someone to send me away, and by then-no one would replace me.

Who knew that Magdalena would fail and be injured without being able to give the order? In this way, the person who would be assigned to help the servant girl escape would not be able to take her away before her arrest.

-I have said it all. I really regret being an accomplice. Please forgive me. For what I have served this family for so many years.

Angelo closed his eyes to calm himself, then let out a sigh.
