It was only when Diana saw the familiar police uniforms around her that she realized that she was in a police station at the moment. She finally felt a little relieved. Oliver somewhat regretted patting her from the back, but she was on the phone at the time. He had only patted her lightly when she did not respond after he called her a few times.He didn’t expect her to react so exaggeratedly.“I’m sorry.” He quickly distanced himself from Diana in a very gentlemanly manner before handing her the police return statement. “Everything’s all been taken care of, and that molester has already been locked up. Please don’t be afraid.”This was the third burst of warmth Diana felt after going through the unpleasant experience of being molested. The first was this man helping her on the subway.The second was the milk tea he had bought her.The third was what he said just now: that she didn’t have to be afraid anymore. As it turned out, someone could see through her facade of strengt
Further in the restaurant, its elegance stood out even more. There were several kinds of goldfish in the pool, which was decorated with abundant rockery pearls. At a glance, everything seemed to be alive. Diana could see that all these were expensive. A meal here certainly wouldn’t be cheap.She had just spent fifteen million dollars, and she would have to raise her baby alone after the divorce. It was time for her to save money. Thinking of how much the meal here could cost, her heart ached slightly. Still, it was worth spending money to thank her savior. Diana roughly calculated the balance on her phone. She went to sit in the private room with Oliver and said boldly, “Look at the menu and order whatever you want.”…After the forty-third call indicated that Diana’s phone was turned off, Julian’s expression grew extremely dark.Noel could feel the low pressure in the room. He hurriedly whispered to Julian, reminding him, “Sir, Ms. Kayla is still talking to her mother insid
Diana sneezed several times in a row. She felt inexplicably uneasy and even went to the washroom to check if there was any spotting on her underwear.She only came out of the toilet after confirming that everything was fine. “You’ve waited a long time.”Oliver handed her some tissues. “Not at all. I’m almost done eating too.”He was always so gentle and considerate in their interactions. He never made her feel uncomfortable. Diana smiled in reply and wiped her hands dry. She took out her phone and turned it on. She was just about to tell Oliver that she was going to pay the bill, but a commotion from the yard grabbed her attention before she could turn around.For some reason, the yard was suddenly full of bodyguards!Moreover, these bodyguards also looked somewhat familiar…Diana fell into a daze, but then a familiar voice sounded. “Diana!”The man who called her name was clenching his teeth with resentment.She turned her head in shock. “Julian?”He was causing such a big
She reprimanded him for the sake of another man?How brazen of her! However, Diana couldn’t care less about that. Instead, she simply walked to the cashier, saying, “I’ll be paying the bill.”The receptionist glanced at Oliver and only started calculating the bill after seeing him nod.Julian stepped forward at this moment. “I’ll never let a woman pay the bill. Use my card.”The implication was obvious: Oliver was stingy. His actions ended up displeasing Diana. She was buying Oliver this meal to express her gratitude for him, so of course she had to foot the bill personally. “No need.” She took Julian’s card and put it back in his wallet. “I’ll pay the bill myself.”With that, the machine on the cashier showed that the payment had been made successfully. A thousand dollars. Julian glanced at Diana in disbelief when he saw the numbers. She had always been frugal and would always be distressed whenever they spent a lot of money on meals. Yet today, she actually spent a thous
After such a long time, not only did Julian not say a word of concern for Diana, but he kept misunderstanding her. The more he spoke, the worse things became.For the first time in her life, she finally knew how despicable she was in his heart. Diana’s face gradually turned cold. She went along with his words and said, “Who cares about his status? I only care about how he’s a better man than you.”“What?!” Julian clenched his teeth tightly. “You're shameless!”“I’m shameless?!” Diana didn’t give in at all. She had had enough.She had had enough of her own expectations for Julian popping up every now and then.She was tired of his hot and cold treatment toward her.She had had enough of his ridiculous favoritism.She was even more fed up with his inability to distinguish right from wrong.She looked at him stubbornly and spat, “Who the hell is that woman? Will I have the opportunity to see her again in the future since I missed this chance to meet her this time?”“Meet her?!”
Diana looked at his red eyes, then covered her mouth, and laughed. At the same time, she hid the tears in her eyes. It wasn’t until she felt some of the pent-up grievances in her heart dissipate that she continued, “Either you continue to rebuke me, calling me shameless and wicked, or you can bring out the divorce agreement I’ve already signed and we can go our separate ways.”She was determined.Her eyes no longer carried any traces of heartache.Panic flashed across Julian’s eyes. He felt as if there was suddenly a thick wall between him and Diana. The woman who used to always be within his reach was suddenly untouchable.In a moment of impulse, he grabbed her hand and blurted out, “Are you trying to provoke me so you can stay with Oliver since everything is completely exposed?”In her dreams!Julian was seething. Everything was in disarray, and he could only shout angrily.In fact, he understood that it would be best for them to divorce amicably now.This way, Kayla would be
Julian looked Diana up and down with a look of displeasure on his face. “Did you change your clothes?”“Yes, I’ve had dinner too.” Diana would not treat herself and the baby poorly.The current Diana was as stubborn as the Diana who had gone to Winnington Mansion alone to reconnect with her family three years ago. Unlike that time, she had learned to admit defeat with grace.This was because she had a baby that she wanted to protect.On the contrary, Julian was still overwhelmed by her changes. Facing a Diana he wasn’t used to, he was at a loss. She was different from before, and he couldn’t exactly pinpoint what had changed. This uncertainty made him feel unusually restless. When Diana saw that he was silent for a long time, she asked, “Where’s the divorce agreement?”Since they could no longer find any excitement and beauty in their marriage, as it had been in the beginning, she wouldn’t continue seeking such things anymore.Otherwise, she and Julian would certainly be no
If Diana asked Oliver for help, raising fifteen million within a month would be a very simple task.Before she could properly feel dismayed by the thought, Julian added on a new condition. “You can’t return fifteen million all at once. I get to decide how the repayment is done,” Julian said firmly.Since Diana was the one who used the money, she had no choice but to cooperate as best she could. “How do you want it to be repaid?”“You can only transfer six hundred dollars in each transaction. You can do this an infinite number of times as long as you repay the full amount within one month,” he replied.Diana shivered at the thought of the number of transactions she needed to make. That meant she had even less time to raise the money. Suddenly, it became an even more urgent matter.Diana couldn’t take it anymore. “Julian!” she screamed.“If you can’t do it, then there won’t be a divorce,” Julian said. It was Diana’s own choice to be with Oliver, the man Julian felt most annoyed wit
