An hour later.
Frank sat in the spacious and comfortable cabin, silently gripping his seatbelt, occasionally stealing glances at the three men sitting across from him, their faces cold as ice.
Ben gritted his teeth. "Where the hell did John take Diana?!"
"Just moments ago, he agreed so readily. I had a feeling something was off," Colin frowned, observing the men in the cabin. He let out a sigh deep within.
Andrew remained silent, his legs crossed as he sat in his seat.
On Frank's elegantly refined face, a faint trace of danger flickered momentarily.
They had miscalculated.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere emanating from the three individuals, Frank involuntarily shrunk his neck.
The tension was palpable...
The three men opposite them seemed like ticking time bombs.
One wrong move and they could explode any moment.
Especially the bespectacled man who appeared scholarly. Despite his refined appear
She had just entered the house when she collided with a warm embrace. Andrew embraced her tightly, reaching out to tousle her hair. "Diana, you're finally back." Diana: ... "Do you have to be so dramatic?" she asked. "I'm not worried, I'm happy," Andrew replied. "Really? Andrew, are you finally okay with me being with John?" Andrew smiled faintly. "Silly, why would you say something like that?" Diana: ??? Confused, Diana looked up at him. On Andrew's handsome and refined face, a warm smile blossomed. "Diana, the people from the official 'Hero's Challenge' contacted me. They want you to be their spokesperson for this year. How about it? Are you excited?" "Really?" Diana was somewhat surprised. She didn't expect to gain so much from just one game. "Yes, with your popularity now, you're practically a star in the esports community. They're willing to offer a spokesperson fee of $200,000," Col
"Move aside! Useless idiots!" After a brief moment of surprise, the bald man pocketed his cellphone, rolled up his sleeves, and with a grim expression on his face, charged towards Diana. Even if she had some skills, she was just a little girl. What could she do? He approached with great force, his fingers aiming straight for Diana's neck. But little did he expect that Diana wouldn't dodge. When he reached her, Diana suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, then turned her back against him. Bald man: ??? Before he could react, he saw Diana bend over and forcefully throw him away! It wasn't until he landed on the ground, his head throbbing in pain, that the bald man realized. He had been judo flipped! His 180-pound body had been thrown by this little girl! The bald man's mouth hung open in disbelief. Where did this girl come from? What kind of monster is she!? Diana walked over and lifted
As soon as Diana turned away, Maddie quickly took out her phone and messaged William. "William, Diana is back. She looks perfectly normal. What did you say to her?" William quickly replied. "She's back? That's strange... I didn't receive any messages. Wait a moment." Shortly after, another message came from William. "I don't know what's going on, I can't reach them. Those guys probably took the money and ran!" Upon seeing this message, an unnamed anger burned within Maddie. They're utterly useless! They can't even handle a simple task! Maddie was filled with anger when Chloe suddenly bumped her arm. "Maddie, look over there..." "What's going on?" Maddie lifted her head with impatience, only to see the counselor entering the classroom unexpectedly. By his side was a tall girl. She was wearing a white lace dress and carrying a canvas bag. Her attire wasn't particularly eye-catching,
John: ...What's going on again?He was about to reply with "Nothing special," but hesitated and withdrew his fingers.No, there must be something fishy...He had read online that when a girl asks this kind of question, she's not really asking for your answer, but rather... she just wants to make a fuss.With this thought, his expression immediately changed.Ridiculous.His little girl wouldn't act like this.So, John pondered for a moment and calmly replied.[John mate: Just average.][Little girl: Wow, you replied so slowly. Did you carefully read it for a long time? Are you interested in me? I knew it, men are all perverts, hmph!😠]John: ...[John mate: I'm not interested in her.]Except for his little girl, any woman in his eyes was the same.However, Diana wouldn't let it go.[Little girl: I don't believe you! You are, you are! I'm going to cause a scene!]John's exp
"By the way, Maddie, why is your last name Stewart while Diana's last name is Thompson? Yet, you're still a family?" Leah suddenly spoke, looking at her with some confusion. Maddie's expression slightly froze. She was about to speak when she saw Leah blink her eyes, revealing a look of sudden realization. "Could it be that Diana is the stepmother's child, and she got into Cloud City University because of your connections?" "No, Leah..." Maddie's face couldn't hide her expression anymore. Leah seemed oblivious, her beautiful eyes narrowing as she instantly showed a look of contempt. "So she's not really a true heiress after all. Hmph, why pretend!" Leah's words felt like a loud slap, striking Maddie's face heavily. She instinctively clenched her fingers. What nonsense is this silly girl spouting! Lily felt a bit awkward and nudged Leah's arm. "That's not true, actually Maddie is..." "Diana used to be with us too.
Martin stood up, his hair disheveled and in a state of disarray, his face filled with anger. Seeing the attitudes of the others, he was almost infuriated to the point of spitting blood. "You all are crazy!" However, these words instantly earned him even more disdainful looks. Martin's face turned pale, unable to withstand the condemning gazes of the crowd. He turned around in a state of panic and left. Watching his figure depart, Diana clicked her tongue twice. How pathetic. "Diana, please help me out. It's not much, just like we talked about last time, $60,000." Seeing everyone siding with him, Aria stood up straight with a sense of entitlement. His attitude towards asking Diana for money suddenly became self-righteous. Diana chuckled, throwing a peanut into her mouth, much to Aria's anticipation. "$60,000? Do you really think your lousy story is worth that much?" Aria's expression froze instant
John sat quietly in the back seat when suddenly he felt the little girl beside him leaning towards him. And then, a soft sensation on his face. It was her kiss! John's eyes widened in shock. Although it wasn't the first time they had such intimate contact, this time, it was initiated by her! John's eyes flickered for a moment, and he remained silent for a while. Diana, after kissing him, smacked her lips with a nostalgic expression. There was a faint fragrance on John, like tobacco, but it was refreshing and unexpectedly pleasant. "John, you smell nice. I thought only girls were supposed to smell good!" Diana couldn't help but grin, revealing a mischievous smile. Jackson, who was driving, almost couldn't hold back his expression. Gripping the steering wheel, he looked at Diana's infatuated gaze towards his boss in the rearview mirror, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Boss, who's a perfect
Diana turned her head, only to see John staring at the screen in front of him with a calm expression. It seemed like just a subconscious action. Uh, she was overthinking. Diana stuck out her tongue and obediently sat still. Soon, the movie began and the lights around them dimmed instantly. In the dark atmosphere, with couples in love seats, the two of them sat close together, causing Diana's heart to flutter. However, the movie was good, a romantic comedy, and she was captivated by the opening scene, which helped relax her mood. After watching for a few minutes, another person entered the cinema. It was not uncommon for people to arrive late while watching a movie, so it wasn't anything surprising. But after a quick glance at the newcomer, Diana looked at the figure and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. Why did he resemble Andrew?! Diana discreetly turned her head and stared intently at the f
