Derila was stunned and rushed over to stop it.
But the girl was so quick and desperate that she slashed herself directly in the artery.
Derila quickly clasped the girl's hand and snatched the blade, then tore off her own
skirt to bandage her.
"Let go of me, let go of me." The girl struggled desperately, causing the blade to cut
Derila's hand, but she couldn't care less and took control of the girl hard enough to
treat her wound.
"Marianne!" At that moment, the anxious call of the President's wife came from outside,
"Quickly, quickly, open the door!"
Soon, someone opened the door of the bathroom.
The crowd was all stunned to see the scene before them.
The President's wife rushed in with a shriek, instructing her men to hold her daughter
down, and then asked Derila in a panic about her injuries.
At this time, shouldn't the president's wife be more concerned about her daughter? Why
did she seem to care more about her?
"Let go of me, let go of me, mommy." The girl was still struggling desperately, and at
that moment, an angry voice came, "What's going on? Get her out of here now."
It was the president. His reaction was more of anger and not much of affection for his
daughter.
This was followed by a concerned question to Derila, "Miss Riri, are you all right?"
Derila shook her head, her eyes full of confusion.
Just then, a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind, and she subconsciously
turned back to see Daemon's gentle face, "Is everything alright?"
"I……"
"Daemon, Daemon……"
Before Derila could speak, the girl broke away from the maid and excitedly
pounced over, touching Daemon's face with her blood-covered hand, "Daemon."
"Quickly pull her back." With a shout from the president, several bodyguards pulled the
girl in and then quickly took her away, the girl was still trying to shout something, her
mouth was already covered.
Everything was quiet.
Derila stared at the girl in a daze, her eyes full of dismay.
"I'm sorry, Miss Riri, for frightening you." Instead of trying to calm her daughter, the
president's wife scrambled to reassure Derila, "I've called the doctor to come over
and treat your wound right away, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Madam." Derila came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "There is no
need to call a doctor to come over, I can handle it myself, you'd better go and see Miss
Marianne."
"Go on." The president snapped.
The president's wife bowed her head to Daemon and Derila, and insisted before
she hurriedly left with the others.
"Keep an eye on the people." The president chided, his face full of anger.
But when The president turned around, he apologised with a gentle face, "I'm sorry,
Daemon, for causing you and Miss Riri to be frightened."
"Small matter." Daemon put his arm around Derila and said with concern, "Why is
Marianne's illness getting worse? It's better to find a professional doctor to take a good look
at it."
"Yes, it was fine a few days ago, but in the past two days it's…alas……" the president
sighed deeply, looking very worried, "A good party, and it's turned into this."
"It's all our own people, we can understand." Daemon said soothingly, "We'll go back
first, you should hurry to see Marianne and take good care of her."
"Her mother is with her, it's fine." The president sighed, "I'll see you out!"
As he left, Derila realised that no one from the three big families, including Penny,
had come, probably to avoid seeing Marianne's madness and embarrassing the President
and his wife, so they had all stayed over in the recreation room.
It was only when the President and Daemon passed by the recreation room that the
party greeted them, as if nothing had happened, and were still discussing the poker
game they had just played.
And Penny was also unusually calm, as if everything that had just happened had nothing
to do with her.
Derila felt terrible from the bottom of her heart, this kind of high society people, live
so cold-blooded hypocritical are they.
