Diana wouldn’t have spent Julian’s money if not for the fact that she wanted to see the woman’s face and confirm her identity. It wasn’t easy for Diana to spend fifteen million dollars that belonged to Julian. She was forced into doing so.Therefore, she attached great importance to the surveillance recording. Nina was so nervous that she was about to pass out.-At the same time, Kayla and Julian walked into a private restaurant in Richburgh. This was the top floor of the central business district in Richburgh. The entire surroundings were made of glass, and the entire city was in full view of the guests. They usually didn’t accept customers and would only cater to VIPs. Kayla couldn’t stop praising the place. “I have long heard that this place is great, but they’re very selective of their customers so I’ve never had the chance to come here.” She took a bite of the shrimp cake and said, “This is really delicious!”She looked really excited. She kept taking pictures of he
Diana subconsciously took a hasty step back as she didn’t want him to find out she was pregnant.The joy she felt when she first learnt she was pregnant and her desire to share the good news with Julian had long disappeared. Now, she only wanted to keep the child by her side, so she must keep the baby’s existence a secret. “It’s not me but Nina. Vans lied to you.”Julian’s hand hovered awkwardly in the air, but he did not lose his temper.On the contrary, he was a little relieved as if he was glad that Diana wasn’t ill. How could he still be so concerned about her when he already had another woman by his side? Diana rubbed her eyes and looked away. She always felt that she was prone to overthinking at the thought of his charming face.She shouldn’t be sentimental, or she might not be able to bring herself to leave again.She recalled the scenes she saw at Winnington Mansion, the Forget Me Not flower shop, and SK Mall today. She suddenly raised her head and said, “That banquet.
Julian touched Diana’s hands, realizing that they were hot.He instructed all the maids to leave and then personally got a pot of freshly boiled water. He soaked some towels in it.The water was scalding hot. When he placed his hands in it, he wanted to jump a few times from the sheer heat. He swirled the towels around the water, let them soak again, and then fished them out with great difficulty. After that, he squeezed the water out of them.His hands quickly turned red. Yet, he still insisted on sponging Diana over and over again. “Why aren’t you acting cold to me today? Why didn’t you cook soup for Noel and the rest?”“Hmph! You’re not going to make soup for me anymore, are you? You even spent so much money on an entire boutique yesterday. Did you think I wouldn’t know about it?”“You heartless little thing!”So noisy…To Diana, it seemed there was a fly buzzing incessantly beside her ears. She wanted to raise her hand to swat it away, but she didn’t have any strength. S
Diana’s mind went blank. She could only clutch her lower abdomen tightly as tears streamed down her eyes.It was a heartbreak that deprived her of all sanity, leaving her with only a mother’s instinct.Her baby…She was about to lose her baby!This was the baby she had been looking forward to for so long!Yet, it was about to be brutally murdered by his own father!In her desperation, Diana seemed to have been endowed with infinite strength as she lunged toward Julian.She jumped over the many doctors and pounced directly on Julian. She hated him!She hated the fact that Julian had turned a blind eye to her pleas for help when he was right beside her, and chose that woman instead of her over and over again!Were it not for that, she wouldn’t have fallen into a coma due to a simple cold. He wouldn’t have found out that she was pregnant, and she would be able to protect her baby!Diana clenched her teeth in anger. Hatred and resentment toward Julian filled her as she recall
Meanwhile, Kayla hadn’t expected Diana to be a tough nut to crack.When she received Loraine’s call, she thought she had met a crafty scammer. What a joke! Could the goods sold by a famous brand like L be recalled without reason?But when Kayla received a phone call from the manager of L Luxury Dresses, she immediately realized that the hillbilly who had spent more than ten years in the countryside wasn’t as easy to bully as she had first thought.That woman had dared to spend fifteen million dollars of Julian’s money… to buy that boutique!Kayla was enraged. That money belonged to her!How dare that hillbilly Diana touch her money?!Diana even told the workers to have the dress Kayla had bought returned immediately, on the grounds that it was of poor quality.Was this a deliberate attempt to infuriate Kayla? Or was it because Diana had sensed something was wrong and wanted to get revenge when Kayla had deliberately bought the dress one step ahead of Diana the moment she s
However, she couldn’t tell Julian’s grandmother that.If Madam Fulcher found out, Diana’s divorce from Julian wouldn’t be possible. Julian would then spend the rest of his life hating her. It would be so much better for them to separate amicably when they still had the chance.Julian frowned. There was a look of disappointment on his face as he said, “Grandma, we’ve been trying to have a child for three years. We simply can’t…”This was what he often said in front of his grandmother. Yet this time, the old lady refused to accept this excuse anymore. “I don’t care! It’s precisely because it’s been three years! You must give me a great-grandson soon! It’d be better if you give me a great-granddaughter, but she has to look like Diana and not you. I don’t like your cold face.”“Yes, a girl should be cute and adorable.” Diana thought of the baby in her belly, and a gentle expression subconsciously appeared on her face. She couldn’t stop herself from chiming in and adding to Madam Fulche
“I’m the problem?”Diana’s face flushed red instantly.“I was… I was just trying to help you out…”She didn’t want him to find out about the baby, but she didn’t expect Madam Fulcher to be so ‘helpful’!Looking at Julian’s red face, she couldn’t imagine what else she had failed to consider…“Help me out?” The man smiled impishly. His dark eyes were deep, and he leaned closer to her ear as he said with his magnetic voice, “Was it really to help me out, or are you trying to play hard to get?”Play hard to get?!Diana’s eyes widened in shock. That wasn’t what she meant at all!But Julian didn’t listen to her explanation at all and refused to put her down.After entering the room prepared by his grandmother, he kicked the door open. The redness inside almost blinded Diana. “What…” she said.Julian closed the door and carried her in his arms. He stepped on the rose petals on the ground all the way to the bed on which there was a red formed by petals. “Grandma prepared this,” he
Was it the confidence Julian gave this woman, or did she no longer regard Diana as Julian’s wife because she already knew they were going to divorce?This phone call early in the morning was like a big slap to Diana’s face. Diana also understood that Julian might be the first to refuse if she wanted to let what had happened go and reconcile with Julian.This woman…It seemed she had a tight hold on Julian’s heart.This was why she was so arrogant.Diana couldn’t wait to meet the woman and see if she was pampered endlessly by Julian just like what he used to do to Diana.Diana felt a stabbing pain in her heart when she thought of the past.She only calmed down after her palms turned pale from how tightly she had clenched her fists. Then, she said, “My husband is still sleeping. Who are you? Why are you asking my husband to accompany you to go home?”Kayla trembled with anger when she heard Diana’s assertive words.Diana was saying that Julian hadn’t woken up yet. Did that mea
