That was the last scene Aria could remember in her first life,

Aria looked to lorenzo who is trembling

Tremble tremble~~

'I think i scared him to much...'

The tension in the air seemed to ease, as Aria no longer looked ruthless and fierce. Instead, she was weak and pathetic as before, her expression seeming to be nothing more than an illusion.

"What...? Did I see wrong?" Lorenzo asked himself, wondering if his fear had been a delusion all along.

But then he shook himself loose from his confusion and thought better of it.

That was just a momentary trick by the cunning Aria,

he decided. But perhaps there was a faint inkling of an idea in the back of his mind...

"Why would I be scared of that filthy trash?"

Lorenzo staring at Aria with contempt and disgust in his eyes.

He let anger fill his veins, as he clench his fist and spoke with fury.

"This...you dirty piece of trash..."

He was enraged, his expression harsh and ruthless.

He raised his fist slightly, ready to hit Aria, not caring about whether he was hurting her or not.

Aria flinched as she saw Lorenzo raise his fist at her.

People turned to look at the scene, their expressions filled with shock and horror.

"Yes, it's my mistake...Brother didn't do it..."

Aria's words drew mixed reactions from the people, as she took a submissive position on her knees.

"I'm sorry...Brother...I'm sorry..."

Aria begged for his forgiveness, her dead eyes cast down at the floor, unable to raise her gaze to look at him.

She dropped her head repeatedly to the carpet.

Like a lowly slave.

'"Let everyone be shocked!"

Lorenzo stood tall, his ego and pride fueled by the fear and awe that the people felt towards him. His face was filled with an arrogant smile as he looked down on Aria.

Diego then interceded, stepping in front of Lorenzo.

"Stop!"

He shouted at Lorenzo, his words firm and direct.

"Aria must've been quite shocked from the fire," Diego continued.

"Vera. Take good care of Aria for a while," he said.

The he suddenly spoke sternly to Lorenzo to make himself look like a fair father.

"Lorenzo. You're on probation!"

The fatherly air about Diego was gone now, as he spoke sternly to Lorenzo, who looked ashamed and embarrassed.

"Probation? He is only ten years old. It is too harsh!" Vera protested, unable to accept such a harsh punishment for her son.

"Shut it!" Diego barked back at her, not taking any of her excuses.

"If you had taken good care of the children in the first place, this wouldn't have happened!"

"H-how could you do that to me...?"

"Move Aria's residence to the fifth floor."

The room instantly fell silent, as Diego's words carried much more impact than expected.
