Chapter 411 Scheming

Kat stormed towards Emma, her anger evident as she lashed out in jealousy and frustration. "You have seen Leonardo propose and confess his love for Sofia, Mom. Now, what will you do? What are you going to say about it? If you didn't stop me that day, I would have created problems in Sofia's life, and Leonardo would have been proposing to me," Kat fumed out of jealousy.

Emma gritted her teeth, watching her daughter mumbling with stupidity. Sometimes, she doubted if Kat was truly her daughter, given her lack of patience. "Shut up, Kat. I am also not happy with that news. I am already angry. Don't put oil in it. Or else you have to deal with my anger," Emma retorted, glaring at her daughter. Then, her attention shifted to Diana, who was observing the couple with envious eyes.

This sight pleased Emma, and her mood brightened up. She saw an opportunity to exploit Diana's emotions and fulfill her scheme to drive Sofia and Leonardo apart. Emma believed Sofia didn't deserve the happiness and the Ricci estates she had inherited and was determined to make Carlo realize that as well.

With a cunning plan in mind, Emma introduced herself to Diana, stretching her hand toward her.

"Hello, my dear. Let me introduce myself. I am Emma Ricci, stepmother of Sofia Ricci," she said.

Diana took her hand and nodded, acknowledging, "Yes, I know you, Mrs. Ricci. I am Diana."

Emma nodded, recognizing Diana as the famous supermodel and Leonardo's ex-girlfriend. She saw an opportunity to provoke Diana's emotions further.

"Have you met Leonardo? He looked so happy with Sofia," Emma said with an intent to incite jealousy.

Diana rolled her eyes, scowling at Emma's remark.

"I haven't even gone to them to congratulate them because I don't have that big heart to give my love to other women. If I hadn't made a mistake in the past, he would be mine," she replied with a sigh, revealing her lingering feelings for Leonardo.

"It's never too late, my dear. You can still have Leonardo. You just need to go according to my plan, and he will be yours again. This time he will be yours forever," Emma smirked and winked, trying to intrigue Diana.

Diana frowned, feeling unsure about Emma's intentions.

"Why the hell do you want to help me, and why should I trust you?" she questioned, skeptical of Emma's sudden offer.

"Because I can also see Leonardo is not happy but pretending to be happy with Sofia. His true happiness is with you," Emma stated with conviction, trying to win Diana's trust.

Seeking a secluded corner, she picked up the phone and greeted the caller with a simple, "Hello!" After a brief conversation, Emma's demeanor changed, and determination flickered in her eyes.
