Godber: "The lot of you are talking nonsense. The juicer is still in the lounge. Keep denying, and you'll regret it!"
The room fell into a stunned silence.
The atmosphere on the set suddenly grew tense. Several staffers, already uneasy, found it hard to keep up their façade as Godber shifted his stance.
Their tunes changed swiftly.
"No need to pry anymore. Sorry, we weren't truthful earlier..."
"Director Flores, this mess with Scarlett has nothing to do with Diana. We didn't know why she did it!"
"It was actually Scarlett and Amaryllis trying to frame Diana, but they got caught in their own trap."
"We're not involved in this... Director Flores, we lied under Amaryllis's threat..."
They swiftly switched sides.
The situation took an unexpected turn.
Amaryllis's face turned pale.
These jerks dared to turn on her?!
"Director Flores, the truth is..."
"Enough!" The director cast a disgu
Diana grabbed his hand. "If you don't believe me, feel my heartbeat pounding." Saying that, she pressed his hand against her chest. John's palm touched the softness. As if electrified, he swiftly withdrew. The icy handsome face finally reacted. "Don't tease." "Oh, suddenly feeling shy? Don't worry, Ethan is used to it. Let's ignore him. I haven't even brought out the big guns yet. John, here's a longing kiss for you..." Diana held onto John with both hands, about to lean in. Right at that moment, she noticed a head popping out of the passenger seat. Staring at her in utter shock. A handsome face with a tuft of green hair. Diana froze. "Green-hair... Frank?!" Her body stiffened slightly. "When did you get in?!" "...I've been in the car the whole time." No way. Is he that unnoticeable? Frank: You've hurt my feelings, big sis! Frank stared with wide ey
"Ms. Thompson, your face is a masterpiece! A perfect canvas!" Samuel exclaimed, admiring her radiant complexion. "Why did you even think of changing yourself into that?" Diana retorted, "Didn't you just say my previous look was unique? Now suddenly it's because you found it ugly?" Samuel stuttered, realizing he'd slipped up. "Ms. Thompson, I didn't mean—" "No need to explain, it's really ugly. Only Frank can pretend my previous makeup was beautiful," Diana interrupted bluntly, shaking her head. Then she added, "Speaking of which, your studio's interior decor, letting Frank handle that? Quite unconventional, isn't it?" Samuel looked sheepish. "Mr. Getty's taste is indeed unique. When I returned and saw it, I was taken aback." Diana rolled her eyes. "Unique doesn't cover it; it's downright strange!" "But this studio is specifically appointed for me as the fashion director. I spend most of my time in Paris," Samuel explain
Even though John always wore monochrome suits, each subtle alteration somehow made a distinct impression, but without fail, he looked breathtaking. John glanced at his wristwatch and then at Ethan beside him. "Ethan, get the car ready." "Sure thing." Ethan promptly headed out. When John's gaze shifted to Diana, it softened. He extended his hand. "Come." Diana flashed a faint smile and placed her hand in his palm. Together, they walked towards the door. Frank trailed behind. "Bro, you haven't given feedback yet. How's my new venture? You gotta come support my studio often, man." John's expression remained cold. "For the last time." "What?" "This is my final visit to a place like this." John glanced at him before getting into the Bentley. Frank was utterly perplexed. Last time? But bro, this was the first time here! Is he saying... never again?! Oh, man!
Diana sensed something amiss. But she instantly guessed John's thoughts. Seeing so many people praising her beauty, the stubborn man was... getting jealous again. Diana rolled her eyes internally. Praise was unacceptable. Non-praise was unacceptable too. Big shot, you're being a tad unreasonable! Seeing the discomfort of those around, Diana spoke up, "John, I'm feeling a bit tired. Can I go sit nearby and rest for a while, alright?" "Sure." John immediately released her hand. Diana quickly distanced herself from this scene of drama and settled near the self-serve dessert section. Just as she sat down, a figure darted towards her. Frank leaned against her, "Big sis, you gotta help me out!" "What are you doing? Don't interrupt me while I'm eating." Diana pushed him away with a swat of her hand. Frank began, "I told Winry before about wanting to surprise her. Original
Jenny hesitated. Then a hint of confusion flashed across her face... This woman... was her request that simple? Anyway, it's just a word. It wouldn't cost her much. Thinking this, Jenny opened her mouth, "Big... big sis..." Diana almost burst out laughing. What in the world? She thought Jenny would put up more of a fight. She didn't expect her to give in so easily? "Actually, there's a quick way to get out of this unrequited love turmoil," Diana slowly stated. "Find someone else to like." "Three-legged toads are rare, but men with two legs are everywhere. Why hang yourself up on that green-haired pheasant?" Jenny was exasperated, "Is this your solution?! What kind of useless advice is this?!" "Well, I was just suggesting. If you don't want to hear, that's fine." Diana was indifferent. Jenny was infuriated by her attitude. This woman was playing her! Definit
"Ms. Poly, truly a student of Palmer's... Yet, since then, Ms. Poly, there hasn't been any outstanding work. I'm quite looking forward to your final piece at this couture design awards." Diana's voice sounded graceful but struck at the core with each word. Those dark eyes locked onto her, seemingly piercing through all barriers to reach her darkest corners. Could it be... Did this little schemer know the truth from back then?! Poly felt an inexplicable tightening in her chest. Her steps wavered slightly. "Professor Poly?" Charlotte sensed something amiss and instinctively turned to look at her. Poly steadied herself, attempting to regain composure. No, it couldn't be! Back then, she was just a kid, how could she know all this?! Poly's face hardened, feeling agitated. "Hmph, talking to an immature little girl like you is a waste of breath!" With that, she turned abruptly an
"Okay, I agree. I might not have the power to make her disappear, but making her uncomfortable? That I can do..." Winry smiled coyly, a hint of coldness glinting in her eyes. It worked perfectly for her—she wasn't fond of Diana either. Inside the banquet hall, Diana wandered aimlessly, immediately engaged in conversations as John's recent attitude toward her made everyone keen on getting closer. With a forced, professional smile, Diana adeptly played the refined lady among them. Winry, spotting her, narrowed her eyes and strolled slowly towards Diana, adopting a look of timid innocence. "Diana..." Winry feigned a fearful, innocent demeanor, approaching Diana from behind. Diana turned, "Ms. White? What is it?" "Well, your skirt... is something stuck on the hem there?" Winry softly pointed out. Diana instinctively glanced down at her skirt. Just as she bent down, Winry's gaze shifted, causing her t
"Charlotte, how could you support this woman... and falsely accuse me? I clearly saw you outside in the garden, talking to her..." "Enough." Charlotte interrupted, visibly displeased. "Jenny, I know you like Frank, but your jealousy towards Ms. White is your own problem. I don't want to get involved in your mess." That statement was a bombshell. The most shocked was Frank himself. He stood there, eyes wide, looking like he'd seen a ghost. After a moment, he finally regained his senses. "What the...?" Frank blurted out a curse, then looked at Jenny in disbelief. "Jenny, what she said isn't true, right?" Jenny bit her lip. She never expected Charlotte to spill this secret. She felt a bit lost for words. When she raised her head and met Frank's incredulous gaze, Jenny bit her lip. Then she made a decision. "Yes, I like you. But Frank, I'm not jealous of Winry, she's really..." "Wow, you actu
