"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
"Diana flipped through the menu with excitement, pointing at various dishes. 'I want this, this, and this...'" After making their selections, John closed the menu and handed it to the nearby waiter. Jenny furrowed her brows. Charlotte was also present, so why didn't John ask her what she wanted to eat? But in front of John's icy expression, the words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down. At that moment, John's phone rang. As he looked at the flashing name on the screen, a shadow passed through his eyes. "I'll step outside for a moment." John picked up his phone, ruffled Diana's hair with his hand, and then walked out. As soon as he left, the oppressive coldness in the private room instantly dissipated. Jenny glanced at Diana and couldn't help muttering under her breath, "Ordering so much, are you a pig..." Her voice wasn't loud, but it was just enough for Diana to hear. Diana
Each person harboring their own thoughts, they finished the dinner. As they left, one by one, they walked out of the private room. Just as they were about to go downstairs, the door of the adjacent room suddenly swung open. A man, seemingly a bit tipsy, floated out of the room. Diana was taken aback when she saw his face. Luke?! What was he doing here? His physical condition seemed fine; had he been discharged from the hospital? Upon seeing Diana, Luke appeared visibly surprised. He paused for a moment, a hint of guilt flickering in his eyes, especially when he caught a glimpse of the man in a black shirt standing next to Diana. Instantly, his expression changed. Diana instinctively lifted her head and looked at the man beside her with an icy demeanor. Of all the unfortunate timings, Luke had run into John when John was in a bad mood. John wouldn't get jealous again, did he? "Diana, do you know this man? He's been staring at you!" Jenny furrowed her brows and suddenly spoke
At this moment, John also noticed that the little girl, Diana, had a pale complexion. He lowered his gaze and spoke, "You..." "Hmph, I don't want to talk to you right now. Don't speak to me!" John: ??? He hadn't said anything yet... Liam, who was sitting across from them, had a bewildered expression on his face. Oh no! Is Diana going crazy?! Doesn't she realize that Uncle John is seething with anger, and instead of calming him down, she's provoking him even more? I can't tell if she's foolish or just incredibly stubborn! Damn it, I shouldn't have gotten in the car! And in John's eyes, an even darker shadow appeared instantly. Why is it like this? Just a moment ago, everything was fine... He thought for a while but couldn't figure it out. He raised his eyes, his deep gaze exuding an inherent coldness, and looked at Liam, who had a complicated expression on his face.
