Diana said, "Alright, I'll wait for your response."
"After I give you a response, you better stick to the agreement."
X's voice turned cold once again.
"What's the use of this gossip to me? As long as you give me the information I want, I'll pretend I never saw these files, not a single word will escape my lips."
Diana spoke with utmost conviction.
There was a moment of silence as X weighed the sincerity of her words.
After a while, there was a "click" on the other end, and the call was disconnected.
Diana muttered, "...What's wrong with him!"
After finishing the call with X, Diana stretched lazily and climbed into bed, feeling a bit tired.
It was then that she noticed that a few hours ago, Samuel had sent her a new dress design.
She opened the image and saw that it was exactly how she had envisioned it.
The back, which had originally been sealed, now revealed a small blank space the size of a fi
Quickly, Diana walked over and gently hooked her small hand onto his arm. "Let's go." His expression softened a bit as he pulled her hand, bringing her closer to him. Diana instantly breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't notice, that's a relief. As the two entered, they spotted a middle-aged man with graying temples approaching them, dressed in a tailcoat, exuding an air of an English gentleman. Diana recalled that he was the steward of the old mansion. "Sir," the man greeted John with a respectful bow. "Mr. Anderson," John responded in a composed voice, "Where is my grandfather?" "Mr. Harrison was aware of your arrival and has been waiting for you," Mr. Anderson replied with a smile on his face. As he spoke, he discreetly glanced at Diana. Having met numerous people, he was still captivated by the young woman by John's side. Her beauty was truly exceptional, which explained why John ov
Diana smirked slightly, "Well, it's me. You must be my little sister-in-law, right?" She still remembered Jenny quite well. In the previous life, they almost came to blows. The reason was that Diana went mad in the old mansion, and Jenny couldn't bear to see her cursing John so fiercely, infuriating her to the point of wanting to fight. "Who's your little sister-in-law?" Jenny glared at her fiercely, wishing she could kill her with her eyes. "Miss Matthews, you ran too fast. I almost lost you," someone called out in a coquettish voice from outside the door. Diana frowned. Strange, why did that voice sound so familiar? While she was wondering, another woman hurriedly walked over to the door, panting heavily. Due to walking too quickly, her face flushed with a tinge of red. Diana looked at the person by the door, her gaze slightly narrowed. After a brief moment of surprise, she twitched the corners of her
Diana, that despicable woman! How dare she treat her like this! Maddie was so furious that she was trembling. She clenched her teeth tightly, biting her lip until a hint of blood filled her mouth. But she still didn't dare to move. She needed to leave this place immediately. If she were to meet John now, he might actually kill her in his rage! "Oh no!" Jenny suddenly shouted, "Maddie is spitting blood!" Diana turned her head and indeed saw a trace of fresh blood at the corner of Maddie's mouth. "Someone help! Get Maddie to the hospital quickly!" Jenny cried out in a panic. Soon, Mr. Anderson arrived with two servants, hastily carrying Maddie away. Diana stroked her chin. Could it be that Maddie was so infuriated that she vomited blood? "Ms. Thompson, the boss is upstairs, maybe..." Jackson walked up to Diana and whispered. Whether Maddie was truly faint or pretending, he could sti
Tony Davis? A glimmer of excitement flickered in Maddie's eyes. He's the hottest actor right now! This is fantastic! She must seize this opportunity! If luck is on her side, she might be able to break into the entertainment industry and turn her life around in an instant! Maddie touched her face, her eyes gleaming with a hint of resentment. Once she climbs to the top, the first person she'll seek revenge on is that bitch, Diana! "Achoo!" Diana stood beside John, just stepping out the door when she sneezed. Damn it. Who's talking behind her back? "Are you catching a cold?" John turned his head and looked at her with concern. If only he hadn't let her take off her coat. "No, it's not that, John. Does Mr. Harrison have any issues with me? I feel like he's in a bad mood whenever he sees me." "No, he really likes you." "Are you sure?" "Yeah," Joh
Before the words even finished, a tall and gentle woman walked in from outside.She wore a sophisticated forest-themed suit and a pair of long boots. Her tea-colored hair flowed behind her, and her features were exceptionally beautiful.Even from a distance of over ten meters, Diana could feel the dignified elegance radiating from the woman."Hey, Charlotte!"Jenny's eyes sparkled with excitement as she put down her fork and quickly stood up, rushing towards the door.Before long, she returned, dragging Charlotte along with her.Noticing Diana's puzzled expression, Frank moved his chair closer to her and leaned in, speaking softly."You know Christopher Patel, the jeweler from Cloud City, right? Well, that's his daughter, Charlotte Patel. The Patel family has a close relationship with Mr. Max Matthews, so the Matthews family and Charlotte are acquainted.""Acquainted? In what way?" Diana asked, her tone full of meaning.
In an instant, the atmosphere at the table became even more eerie. The group of people closed their mouths that had hung open in surprise and fell into silence. Only John, as if ignoring everything, casually picked up the nearby gloves and began to peel the crab. Charlotte looked at him. "John, I remember you used to be allergic to crabs." Upon hearing this, Diana furrowed her brows. John are allergic to crab meat? She used to feed him crab meat... John remained silent and simply placed the peeled crab meat into Diana's bowl. "Eat more." At that moment, not only Charlotte but also the other members of the Matthews family couldn't hide their surprise. Is this the same cold and aloof John they knew?! The series of actions today had completely shattered their perception. Only Frank remained calm. Well, it's not that surprising. Mr. Harrison secretly patted his thigh under the
As expected, the faces of the people in the room resembled a palette of mixed emotions. Mr. Harrison couldn't have been happier when he heard those words. Working on it, huh? Just keep working hard, that's all. "Ahem, um, Diana, you're so thin. Grandpa will have the kitchen make you some good food to replenish yourself. You young girls are always thinking about losing weight. Eat to your heart's content, no problem!" Mr. Harrison said with a beaming smile. Diana, feeling guilty, lowered her head. "Grandpa, I eat quite a lot." John's gaze fell upon her. That was actually true. Jenny was stunned by John's words, unable to recover for a while. When she snapped out of it, she quickly looked at Charlotte beside her. Sure enough, although Charlotte didn't show much expression, her body tensed up like a tightened string, and her eyes were hollow, clearly struck by a significant blow. Jenny felt sorry for her. "
Jenny indeed meant no harm, but she was too naive. The concern was that she might be taken advantage of by some ill-intentioned individuals. Mr. Harrison held the chess pieces in his hands, unable to resist playing with them, his interest piqued. His gaze swept around the room, finally landing on Frank. "Frank, since you've come today, how about playing a game of chess with me?" "It's me again?" Frank groaned. He wanted to chat with his big sister! "You brat, what's wrong with playing a game of chess with me? Come over here!" Mr. Harrison exclaimed, clutching the chess pieces and happily walking towards the stairs. Reluctantly, Frank followed along. After taking a few steps, Mr. Harrison looked towards John. "John, why don't you take Diana out for a walk, and stay for dinner tonight as well?" Diana was about to decline, but Mr. Harrison quickly added, "I've specially arranged to have fresh jumbo prawns flown in from out
