Frustrated, Winry took out her phone but Diana grabbed her wrist.
"Is it this hand?" Diana squeezed Winry's left wrist like a vise.
Winry winced, and her phone fell, scattering on the ground.
"Let go!" Winry tried to pull away but couldn't.
Annoyed, she raised her right hand, aiming to slap Diana's face.
"I told you to let go!"
But the slap never landed.
Diana caught her right wrist, displaying a contemplative expression.
"Hmm... Looks like it's this hand."
With those words, Winry felt a sharp pain in her right wrist.
"Ah! What are you doing?! Let go, release me!"
Feeling an astonishing force on her wrist, Winry widened her eyes, her terrified expression contorting.
A cracking sound.
"Ah!"
As the sound of bones breaking reached her ears, Winry screamed in agony.
Her fair face turned deathly pale.
Buckling at the knees, she was nearly begging for mercy.
"Frank." Winry leaned against him, sobbing slightly, "I don't want to argue with her anymore. I'm seriously injured. Take me to the hospital, let's go." As she spoke, she reached for Frank's hand. But he evaded it. Winry paused, then stared at him with stiffness. "Frank, what do you mean?" Frank spoke in a deep voice, "Enough... Winry, seriously, enough. Stop this act. I've seen enough!" He turned away, looking at Winry beside him with an expression of disbelief, then pushed her away. "Frank..." This sudden turn of events left Winry frozen in place. Jenny was equally stunned. Wait, what? Was she dreaming? Did Frank just... choose to believe her instead of Winry?! Diana, leaning on her small cane, had a faint smile in her eyes. Hmm, this is getting interesting. "Frank, what are you... saying?" Winry forced a strained smile, "Do you actually believe Jenny's nonsense instead
"Is that your idea of kindness?! Selling a kidney for plastic surgery, changing your identity and face just to fool someone like me out of their money!" Frank roared in anger. D*mn it. He did a lot of psychological preparation in Europe, envisioned how he would calmly resolve this matter upon his return. But Winry's shamelessness shattered his defenses. To hell with being calm. Frank wasn't suited for that! Annoyed, he pulled at his collar and looked at Winry with a furrowed brow. "Lost your voice? Give me the styling studio, do whatever you want, just don't appear in front of me again. Otherwise..." He thought for a moment, struggling to find a threatening phrase. He couldn't bring himself to hit a woman. Irritated, he rubbed the green hair on his forehead. "I might be blind, but I won't be a fool twice. I'm sick of seeing you now!" This time, he was determined to cut ties with this woman and en
"Frank, make it clear. What are you implying?!" "No big deal. I just wanted to tell you that I borrowed five hundred thousand for this salon. I have two months to pay it back, and if I don't, the salon will be taken back. Also... I'll have to compensate an additional thirty percent in losses." Frank, one hand in his pocket, gave a cold smile. "I had it all figured out. The prize money from this competition and the club's income could pay off the debt. But now... you handle it yourself." "No... this can't be! The Gettys are so rich; why would you borrow fifty grand from someone else?!" Winry couldn't believe it. "Not everything is as you think. Didn't you say you really believe I can make a career on my own abilities? I listened to you, started to stand on my own, what do you think? Touched, surprised?" Frank smirked coldly. "By the way, a reminder, the repayment is due the day after tomorrow. Selling the studio is out of the question n
"Bro... I just went through a breakup, got deceived, and my heart hurts. So, I went to big sis to vent, don't get any weird ideas. I respect big sis just like I do my dad!" Frank hopped around, expressing his pure admiration and respect for Diana. Others might not know, but he understood John too well. Logical as a precision machine in other matters, but when it came to Diana, he was a complete tyrant! John remained silent, only looking at Diana. To be precise, he was looking at the water stains on her shoulder. Seemingly, Frank's tears. In an instant, his gaze intensified. Frank stood on the side, biting his finger, teeth chattering. He was done for. He just crawled out of the swamp of love, only to fall into bro's clutches in the blink of an eye. What kind of situation was this!!! Woo~ Today must be his day of cosmic misalignment! "Frank, go find Jenny first. John and I have som
A middle-aged woman selling seafood nearby smiled at the couple. "Hey, newlyweds, right?" Newlyweds? Hearing this, Diana was momentarily stunned, then she flashed a radiant smile. Extending her hand, she wrapped her arm around John's. "Yes~ Newlyweds indeed. Tonight, we're planning a candlelit dinner." She lifted her head, playfully winking at John. "Right, dear?" The term "dear" made John's heart skip a beat. A tingling sensation spread from the heart to his limbs. Indescribable contentment. "Yes," he responded. The woman beside them had her mouth wide open. "You two are a perfect match! Young lady, you're incredibly beautiful, and your husband, honestly, I've never seen such a handsome man. Hold on tight to him!" The woman continued talking endlessly. After packing the crabs they bought, the woman stated the price. John reached into his pocket and placed several bills that were
Watching the interaction unfold beneath her post, Diana felt something was off. Strange. Why did Jacob's tone of mocking defiance feel oddly familiar? It had a resemblance to that iron-rooster 'X.' But considering Jacob's usual mild and humble demeanor, Diana instantly dismissed the thought. Impossible. Just as Mitbahl settled down, Diana's chat group with her three brothers erupted. [Ben: Diana, are you at the ice-cold John's mansion?! Ahh! It's so late; why would you willingly enter the thief's den alone!] Diana: ... [Diana: Ben, John and I are engaged. This might be our future home; it's not some thief's den.] [Ben: Waaah~ I used to be happy, why do you have to say this...] Diana: ...Doesn't Ben know his precious little sister has fallen into the clutches of ice-cold John? Is he just in denial? [Andrew: John doesn't seem like someone who can cook. Unusual things must have a reason. Maybe he's
John was surprised at the strength of this petite girl. "Don't go..." Diana grabbed his shirt, her eyes shining like stars. Because of the recent kiss, her eyes were misted with a layer of vapor, emanating a scorching warmth. John unconsciously lowered his voice, "The floor is cold." "Who says so? The floor is covered in flowers, isn't it beautiful?" Diana, like a little ruffian, sprayed alcohol breath while patting his handsome face. "Of course, you're even more beautiful, boy~" With that, she pouted, pecking him. Unsatisfied, she deepened the kiss. Lying on the floor, John tried to push her away. "Behave, let's go upstairs." "No..." Twisting in his arms, the girl not only refused to leave his body but also let her fingers roam freely. Unable to resist her teasing, John's sanity finally crumbled. He reached for her slender waist, pressing her back onto the floor. "Hope you won't regret this tomorrow whe
As she began to pack up, footsteps echoed outside the office, followed by a knock on her door. "Who's there?" The office door creaked open, revealing the tall figure of Simmons, whom Liora hadn't seen for a few days. Liora's piercing gaze swept over him. "What brings you here?" "Liora, I messed up." Simmons stood at the doorway, silent for a moment, then suddenly began to apologize. His handsome face carried a hint of melancholy. Liora remained silent. After their argument at the hospital, Simmons hadn't visited for several days. Busy with work, she hadn't spared him a thought. She found his forceful interference in her affairs quite off-putting. She had thought the playboy had probably given up on her, but here he was. Liora, not one to yield to pressure, softened her expression. "Stop meddling in my affairs. Let's be ordinary friends." "Liora, I really like you. How can you expect me to t
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
