3. Crazy Woman 

"What's going on?" muttered Orella when she saw the commotion after she entered the party room.

She approached the direction of the commotion because she heard the voice of someone she recognized. Orella stopped her steps once she had a clear view.

Orella saw the woman in the yellow dress slap the woman in the white dress so hard. She was fed up with what was happening in front of her. Without thinking, she took a few steps forward and slapped the woman in yellow back twice as hard as the woman in white.

"Orella, you!" screeched the woman in the yellow dress in an irritated tone.

Without responding, Orella slapped the woman in the yellow dress again. She didn't care at all about everyone watching her.

"I told you not to, Olivia Vedetta! So that you don't have to show your weakness to this pair of rotten humans!" Orella said in a cold tone to the woman in the white dress in front of her.

"You crazy woman! What did you come here for? Do you want to ruin Mr. Ludovic's party?" interrupted the woman in the yellow dress in an annoyed tone while holding her right and left cheeks that were burning after being slapped by Orella.

Orella overheard some people starting to talk about her. She vaguely heard some people start talking about the incident that killed Juan, and they all indirectly accused her of being the killer of her brother.

She grinned and took one step forward until she was facing the woman in the yellow dress. She looked at her with cold but sharp eyes as if she was about to devour the one in front of her.

"Anna, aren't you afraid of a crazy woman like me?" asked Orella in a cold tone.

"I'm not afraid of you at all! You shouldn't be at the party tonight either. You should have stayed inside your house to regret your foolish actions of getting Juan killed and making your father ...."

"My father? What's wrong with my father?" asked Orella as Anna didn't continue her sentence.

"Orella, come with me!" a woman who had just entered the room. She immediately pulled Orella's hand to come with her.

Orella hadn't had time to work out her frustration with Anna for stirring up trouble with her best friend's sister. She brushed off the woman's hand once she was outside the party room.

"Silvia, what's wrong with you? Don't you want me to solve your sister's problem?" asked Orella in an annoyed tone.

"My sister can handle it. Now all you have to do is save your father!" replied Silvia.

"What? What happened to my father?"

"Come with me! Before it's too late."

Orella followed Silvia. She was getting worried about her father, and then Anna had just said something about her father. Many questions arose in her mind, and it made her worry even more about her father. Her steps stopped when she saw Silvia stop right in front of a large room with a tightly closed door.

"Dad," Orella called after she heard her father's angry voice.

Without thinking, Orella walked into the room. Everyone in the room was focused on her, but Orella did not feel afraid and continued to approach her father.

"Why are you here?" the father asked his daughter.

"What do they want? To make you furious?" Orella asked her father back while staring at the two older men in front of her.

"Wait for me outside! I'll finish it quickly and we'll go back home," the father replied.

Orella shook her head and said, "I won't leave you! From now on I will be your shield."

There was a sound of applause from the side. Orella immediately looked at the person. An older man approached her with a smile.

"Ilario Maldini, your daughter is very attractive," said the old man.

Orell was a little surprised when her father changed his position so that her father was now her shield. However, she could still clearly see the older man's face.

"Leave my daughter alone, Mr. Ludovic!" Ilario said in a stern tone.

'Ludovic... is he the head of the Ludovic family, which is famous for its cruelty?' Orella asked in her heart as she looked at the older man.

Although she had often heard about his cruelty, she had never met the older man. She had been trying to avoid anything related to her father's underworld. She is more focused on the business with her brother, which she has always hidden.

Mr. Ludovic chuckled when he heard Ilario speak firmly. However, Orella felt an oppressive aura from the older man. She was surprised when the older man immediately pulled out a firearm and fired the bullets inside.

The bullet whizzed towards her but just missed her. She was transfixed for a moment by the experience.

"I don't like intruders at my events tonight," said Mr. Ludovic as he signaled his guards to bring the corpse of the man he had just finished off.

"Honey, are you okay?" Ilario asked his daughter.

"I'm fine," Orella replied after managing to shake off her shock.

Orella looked back at the older man in front of her. The older man took two steps forward so that he was in front of her. She flinched and showed that she was not afraid of the older man. In other words, she wanted to show that she deserved to be called the daughter of the Maldini family.

"Ilario, I want your daughter," said Mr. Ludovic, to the surprise of everyone in the room.
