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
"Have you considered what I told you about the endorsement for Hero's Challenge game?" "I haven't really thought about it... Why are you so concerned about this?" She had been busy with university matters and hadn't given it much thought. Frank scratched his head irritably, "How can I not be concerned about it?" "I heard some inside information. If you don't agree, the officials are planning to replace you with another celebrity named Natalie Campbell. I've seen her, she's so artificial. I don't want her to ruin my youth!" As an experienced gamer, it felt like having your beloved game being taken away and raised by someone unreliable. Diana pondered for a moment. She was familiar with this Natalie Campbell, a terrible actress who had no notable works except for marketing herself all the time. "Are the officials blind? Why did they choose her?" Frank raised a finger mysteriously, "Natalie has influential backers
At another table, Frank sat staring at Liam in his smart suit, his brow slightly furrowed."Hey, been causing trouble lately?"Liam rolled his eyes, displeased. "No.""What's with the haircut then? Going for the military look?""My mom made me." Liam sipped his champagne. "She thought my old hairstyle looked too thug-like for Uncle John's wedding, so she took matters into her own hands.""No worries, I think this look suits you."Beside him, Rose tilted her head, looking at him with adoration."You know what? I think any look suits you, I just really like you.""Cough~"Liam choked a bit.He cleared his throat, "Don't say such things in front of everyone.""Sure, sorry~" Rose nodded obediently.Frank thought to himself, Damn. Even my bro's nephew is showing off in front of me? Can't let this slide!He turned to Jenny with a mischievous grin."Jenny, do you think my hairstyle looks good
Upon arriving, she put her hands on her hips, adopting an accusatory posture."Look at this, I left for just a moment, and you're already being targeted by women. How can I ever feel safe letting you go out?"John's deep gaze slightly lowered. "And you?"Diana looked down at the Red Rose in her hand, feeling a bit guilty."Uh..." She reached out and presented the rose to John: "It's for you."John remained silent.Instead, the little baby in his arms stretched out a hand, grabbed the Red Rose, and then happily held it in her arms.Diana chuckled, pinching the little baby's soft cheek."Oh, our Tiger likes flowers~"The little baby stretched out her short arms toward Kevin, earnestly offering him the flower.The little baby handed the flower to him!Diana was astonished."My goodness, Tiger, you can't even speak and you're already trying to win over little boys?!"Truly her daughter!Kev
Kevin pulled on his turtle shell bag strap, seriously said: "I really have to go now, remember, my name is Kevin Nelson."Saying that, he turned his head and was ready to leave."Wait a moment."Kevin stopped in his tracks, turned his head, looked at him with a complex gaze.What...Did his brother remember something, or was he reluctant to part with him?Yosef picked up a Red Rose beside him."This, take it."Kevin was somewhat surprised: "Give it to me? But I'm a man, why would you give me a rose?""It's not for you."Yosef handed the flower to him, glanced at the distant girl, and said: "It's for her."Kevin: "...I just told you, my sister has a husband and a child, are you still not giving up?"Kevin thought: Oh, no! My brother may falls again in the same place after losing his memory!"What are you talking about." Yosef interrupted his thoughts: "I didn't think about pursuing her."
Kevin let himself be led by Yosef's hand, and they both sat on the swing in front of the flower shop.Once seated, the little kid beside Yosef didn't make a sound.He wore a bowl cut hairstyle, carried a big turtle shell backpack, and lowered his head, lost in thought.Yosef occasionally glanced over at him.After a while, he couldn't remind silence any more."You..."Hearing his voice, Kevin immediately turned his head, his eyes sparkling as he looked at him.Full of anticipation.Yosef slowly opened his mouth: "This outfit... who bought it for you?""My brother, what about it?""To be honest, your brother's taste isn't great." Looking at the little one's green onesie, Yosef slightly frowned, "Ugly."Kevin: ……This outfit was something Kevin had insisted on buying for his fifth birthday.He also bought a larger size for Yosef, as matching brother outfits.Although Yosef never wore it,
Hearing this, Kevin covered his mouth: "You mean... my brother's mind is damaged?"Godber corrected: "This is called mental issues.""Isn't that the same thing?"Godber: ...It seems so.Diana frowned. "Yosef lost his memory? With so many enemies, your situation should be unfavorable now, right?"Godber: "Mr. Nelson had already anticipated this. Before completely losing his memory, he divided the remaining power of the Nelson family into three parts, assigning them to the other three members of the Nelson family to keep each other in check, while he decided to retire due to health reasons."Kirin nodded. "So, currently, apart from us and Patrick, no one else in the Nelson family knows Mr. Nelson has lost his memory, thinking he's stepping down due to health reasons."Kevin asked: "Then where is my brother now?"Kirin glanced at Diana and John beside him, hesitating whether to speak.But then he heard John calmly say: "Gri
John's voice had a lazy, sexy edge."Sleep a bit more.""...Okay."Diana turned over, adjusting to a comfortable position, leaning into his embrace.Just as she was about to drift off, she felt the hand on her waist start to move along her curves.Wherever it touched, it ignited sparks.Diana's eyes flew open, and she turned her head.Behind her, John still had his eyes closed, his expression as calm as if he were asleep.But the hand under the covers was very much awake.This beast.Diana turned around and bit his Adam's apple.John frowned slightly, then opened his eyes.His deep gaze locked onto the girl in his arms.As if capturing prey, with a wild possessiveness.Diana knew that look well.It was the same look he gave her last night.She squinted. "Again?"His response was another wave of kisses....Diana became an overnight sensation without an
Reeves turned back and glared at Morse.Wanting to say something to retort against this guy.But he found... There was nothing to say...He looked at the cold and noble man beside Diana and felt an extremely complex mix of emotions.From the moment this man appeared, he knew he had lost.Lost utterly.John slightly lifted his eyes and swept them over Reeves holding roses.Facing the man's icy and profound gaze, Reeves felt somewhat nervous.Just as he thought John would question him, he saw John casually withdraw his gaze and look at the girl beside him."Do you like it?"Reeves: ... This man actually completely ignored me!Being ignored hurt Reeves' pride even more than being questioned!It meant that this man simply didn't regard Reeves as a threat!Unable to help himself, Reeves said."Are you Miss Thompson's fiancé?"Hearing this, Morse behind him covered his eyes with his ha
Hearing this, Frank approached her and whispered, "Big sis, think it through. This guy doesn't seem too smart; having him around might lower our overall standard.""Don't worry, if you can work well in the studio, so can he."Frank: ???Reeves beamed with joy: "Then, Miss Thompson, please accept my flowers first. When I join the Blue Rose Studio, we can get to know each other better.""I welcome you to Blue Rose as a designer, but I can't accept your flowers or feelings.""Why?""Because I already have someone I love."Reeves: ......He opened his mouth slightly, then his expression fell."Who is it?"Reeves scanned the group behind Diana one by one.A bunch of top-notch handsome guys and beautiful girls almost blinded him.This...Each one was very likely!Reeves had a complex expression on his face: "May I ask impertinently, the person you like, is it a man or a woman?"Diana:
Faced with the relentless questions from the reporters, Diana remained calm.She nodded."The name Blue Rose does hold a special meaning for me. As for Reeves, I'm not familiar with him; I have nothing to say.""Miss Thompson, you're so young and accomplished; how about your love life? Do you have a boyfriend?"Hearing this, Ben immediately stepped forward."This is Diana's privacy; we refuse to answer!"The reporters were taken aback for a moment.Everyone stared at Ben wearing a hat; suddenly, excitement surged: "Isn’t this Big Star Fly? Why did he suddenly appear here?"Someone seemed to realize something."Could it be that Fly and Thompson are a couple?!""You're talking nonsense! Diana is my biological sister; stop spouting rubbish here! And this is my girlfriend!"Saying that, Ben pulled Liora over and tightly grasped her hand."This is my girlfriend; Diana is my sister, got it?!"Hearin
