"What do you mean?"
Diego's tone was very cold, icier than a glacier.
Miranda's heart was beating fast.
She didn't know what went wrong. Diego had never spoken to her in such a cold tone. And she felt that something was terribly wrong.
"I..." Miranda wanted to say something but stopped herself on second thought.
"How dare you!" Diego roared in anger, "You dare to take advantage of my name and reputation to do things for your own benefit. Do you think the world revolves around you?"
She felt a chill down her spine.
Miranda's heart was in a state of panic, and she felt the muscles on her face twitch. With a gaze full of disbelief, she looked at Diego, whose eyes were filled with sarcasm and mockery.
He had never been this angry with her. The glare in his eyes was fierce and callous, which clearly showed how Diego enraged was.
"I was wrong!"
Miranda quickly fell to her knees.
Her face was drained of color, and it was deathly pale.
Frantically, she knelt on the ground and begged pitifully, "Sir, I was wrong. I know what I did was wrong. Please don't be angry. It was all my fault, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ruined your image. I shouldn't have used your name to get my daughter out of trouble. I was wrong. I know I was wrong."
Diego had a grim expression on his face as he pursed his lips. His eyes were filled with anger.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman who was kneeling on the ground. Then, he recalled her arrogant voice from the recording previously.
If it weren't for that recording, Diego would've assumed that Miranda was both a good wife and a good mother.
However, who knew that she was such a sinister and cunning woman.
"I see that you refuse to give up until you've met your doom. If I hadn't asked, you wouldn't have told me the truth, would you?"
Miranda shook her head in response while her heart trembled in fear.
She begged for mercy and spoke tearfully about how difficult it was for her.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. It was all my fault. I really shouldn't have done that," Miranda apologized in a hurry, hoping that Diego would understand.
Diego sneered, "It was your fault? How funny. I don't think you even know what mistake you've made."
Miranda pursed her lips into a straight line with disdain in her eyes. However, as her head was lowered, Diego did not see her expression.
She remained silent as she knelt before him.
Diego snorted and continued, "If you did realize your mistake, you should've confessed when we met my boss and Heinz at the cafe earlier today."
"Maybe if you had been honest, I would've thought that you were wise enough and I would've forgiven you. But I've seen through your acts now. I can't believe you were even bold enough to follow Heinz around as he went to place our orders."
"What did you say to Heinz? It's ridiculous that you went out to negotiate with him! You're really something else!"
When her thoughts had been seen through, Miranda instantly flared up and retorted, "Heinz is not a good person. He told me that he wouldn't tell you about this during dinner, but he still told you nonetheless. He is not a man. He doesn't keep to his words at all! Who does he think he is?"
