Damn it, the fire that had just subsided had come back up.
Unfortunately, Diana turned over, wrapped herself up and absentmindedly said to him, "Goodnight, I'm going to sleep!"
John: ......
A trace of helpless smile played at the corners of his lips.
"Goodnight."
...
The Next Day.
Diana slept soundly through the night, feeling completely satisfied.
After getting ready and freshening up, breakfast was already prepared.
Faced with a table full of delicious food, her stomach growled right on cue.
"Diana, come down and have breakfast."
Mr. Harrison waved at her, his eyes filled with a smile.
Diana immediately ran over and sat properly at the table.
It was her first time having a meal at the Matthews' ancestral home, but surprisingly, it didn't feel as awkward as she had imagined.
She had initially planned to be conscious of her appearance, but halfway through the meal, she cou
"Alright." John replied indifferently. After the little girl on the other end of the line hung up, he placed his phone down. At the same time, Ethan walked out from inside. "Boss, it's done." "That means we won't see him again." John extended his slender fingers and lightly tapped the marble tabletop, then a mocking curve formed at the corner of his mouth. "Notify Max Matthews to make sure he hides his illegitimate son next time, so he won't come to bother me again." ... On Saturday, at an astronomical observatory in America. Colin had just reached the entrance when he suddenly heard a clear and vibrant voice. "Colin!" He turned around and saw a familiar face. Leah was dressed in a light blue suit, wearing a pair of white boots. Her slightly curled long hair flowed behind her, making her stand out in the crowd. "Leah... Leah Phillips?" A hint of surprise flashed in Colin's eyes. "What a coincidence to meet you here!" Leah walked over, a smile of delight on her face, fol
"Oh? With so many opportunities to interact with Colin, it seems you haven't managed to win him over!" Leah sarcastically replied, "Seems like you're just a good buddy in his eyes." "You..." Audrey Morgan seethed with anger. This promiscuous girl! Her tongue is so venomous! Leah noticed Audrey's infuriated complexion and felt a bit relieved. Holding her canvas bag, she tossed her long hair and walked away gracefully. But deep down, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable. Not because of Audrey. But because of Colin. His nonchalant attitude towards another man asking for her contact information indicated that he simply wasn't interested in her. Leah became increasingly annoyed the more she thought about it. At this moment, the astronomy museum started to fill with more people. Next to her were a middle-aged couple who seemed to be husband and wife. The man, slightly overweight, had a
"Oh, I see..." Diana didn't dwell on it too much. She blinked her eyes and looked at Andrew. She asked, "By the way, is Colin at home?" Since there was no news from Leah, she felt something was off. So, she decided to gather some information from her own Colin. "Colin is in his room." "After coming back from that exhibition yesterday, is Colin doing okay?" "He's doing fine," Andrew said with a smile. "Just a fractured bone." "What?!" Diana thought she misheard. "If he was fine, how did he fracture a bone?!" Could it be that bastard Leah couldn't handle rejection and harmed Colin?! "I heard Colin accidentally fell. Don't worry, there's no life-threatening danger," Andrew remained calm. "Diana, how about accompanying me for an afternoon tea?" Diana: ...What the hell? Forget the afternoon tea! Don't you worry about Colin? "Well... I'll go check on Colin." Diana turned her head and ran upstairs.
"Damn it all! Why are there nails at the entrance?! My precious new car!!!" Frank let out a heart-wrenching cry. Diana furrowed her brows and glanced subtly at Andrew, who stood nearby. Andrew nervously adjusted his glasses. Uh... He forgot to remove the nails. ... Thirty minutes later. Diana sat in Andrew's car, stuffing a piece of cream bread into her mouth. "Andrew, did you see how heartbroken Frank looked just now? Are you okay with that?" "It was all an accident." Andrew calmly uttered those four words. Why did that sentence sound so familiar? Diana was speechless for a moment. "I've already arranged everything with the official team of the 'Hero's Challenge' game. This weekend, you'll go to the capital to start preparing for the shoot. I'll find someone to accompany you." Diana nodded. She always trusted Andrew when it came to handling things. "By the way, I
Once they reached a tree, Liam punched the trunk and turned to glare at Caleb."What the hell! Why didn't you remind me?"A few more steps, and his reputation would have been ruined!"Well, bro, I wanted to remind you, but as soon as I opened my mouth, you told me to shut up."Liam:..."And now you're trying to make excuses, huh?!"Liam delivered another blow to Caleb.Not far away, Scarlett watched Liam being tormented by Caleb, her expression growing darker by the moment.Lily stood beside her and whispered, "It's been a whole day, and Liam doesn't seem to know what spell Diana has put on him. He's been trailing behind her all day, Miss Patel. Do you think he's... attracted to Diana?"Lily deliberately expressed a hint of surprise in her tone.Scarlett's face changed. "That's impossible! Liam wouldn't be so blind to be interested in someone like her!""This Diana, relying on her mediocre looks, has been p
However, after waiting for a moment, Ms. Jones remained silent. Scarlett became even more puzzled. At that moment, Dean Phillips waved his hand at her and said, "Miss Patel, there's nothing for you here. You can go back to the classroom." Scarlett was stunned for a few seconds, thinking she might have misheard. "It's... it's not about me anymore?" But Ms. Jones hadn't even spoken yet! "Oh, speaking of which, there is one more thing," Dean Phillips suddenly recalled. Observing the situation, a glimmer of anticipation appeared in Scarlett's eyes. Dean Phillips opened a drawer and took out a certificate. "For the last competition, there's an additional award certificate. You can have it." Scarlett:... What she wanted wasn't some worthless certificate! "Ms. Jones, is there something important that brought you here this time?" Scarlett couldn't bear it any longer and asked directly. "W
Following that hand, the guy met the gaze of Diana, her face exquisitely terrifying in his eyes. His legs went weak, and with a "plop," he fell to his knees, begging for mercy, "I didn't do anything! It was Ryan who wanted to find you, I was just passing on a message..." "Why are you so nervous? Since you were passing a message, perfect timing. Call Ryan right now and tell him to come to the alley behind the university!" "Now?" "Any objections?" "None..." The guy cautiously took out his phone and dialed Ryan's number, then activated the speakerphone. "Ryan..." From the other end of the call came an immediate string of curses. "Why the hell haven't you guys arrived yet? Two grown men can't handle a woman?!" "Ryan, we just ran into the dean... and brought Diana to the alley behind the university. Hurry up and come." "Run that far?" Ryan's cursing voice came through. "Got it, let her lie flat there!"
Caleb, standing nearby, walked over and handed Diana a bag, resembling a lackey.It was Diana's backpack."I've taken care of your things. It's already after school hours. Let me walk you home," Liam handed her the backpack, feeling somewhat awkward as he spoke.This innocent act, reminiscent of a pure-hearted young boy, seemed entirely out of place for his campus bully persona."Thanks, but it's not necessary. My driver should be waiting for me at the gate," Diana replied, stepping out of the alley, ready to return to the university. Suddenly, they saw a black BMW swiftly pull up in front of them.In the perplexed gaze of the two, the car window slowly rolled down, revealing Frank's handsome face.Upon seeing Diana, he appeared excited."Big sis, you made it really hard for me to find you!"Frank took off his sunglasses and, upon noticing Liam next to Diana, displayed a hint of surprise. "Hey, Liam, you're here too? Judging by
