Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable Chapter 724
The muscles along Leon's back tightened, almost imperceptibly. His lips parted.When he spoke, his voice had gone slightly dry. "I thought you were only saying it out of anger. Haven't we been good together all these years?"By the standards of their world, they had been a model couple. His private life had always been spotless. Indulging Helen was the worst of it, and compared to the other men in their circle, that still counted for something.He had assumed their marriage would continue the way it always had.Diana's smile never reached her eyes."What do you think?" Her voice remained as level as ever, without the slightest rise or fall. Even so, it made his scalp prickle."What I did with Helen was wrong. I let her get away with too much. But from now on, I'll—""Stop."There was no anger in the interruption, only a coldness that left no room for negotiation.She held his gaze steadily. "You're an adult. Every choice you make comes with consequences. You already knew that,

A cold wind moved through the dark.Leon stood beneath a streetlamp in his precisely tailored suit, his silhouette stretched long across the pavement, carrying a faint, unintentional loneliness."Hugo, you're here too?" He acknowledged his brother with a glance before looking past him toward Diana, who stood a few steps away.His throat tightened. "Diana. I'd like to talk."Diana looked at him, her expression unreadable.She had expected this. Turning back to Hugo, she said, "Hugo, have the driver take you to the hotel. If you need anything, contact me or Ray."Some matters were easier handled through Raymond."Of course." Hugo gave a small nod, his tone calm and unhurried. "Diana, if anything comes up... you can always reach out to me too."His gaze shifted to Leon for only a moment. The look was shallow and unreadable, revealing nothing on the surface that could be named. Even so, it left Leon with a distinct and inexplicable sense of pressure.The car pulled away. The sound

The nurse's words settled over the room, followed by complete silence.Leon's face darkened and went still as he fixed the nurse with a sharp look. "Transfer to which hospital? Who arranged this?""Mr. Kingston, we only received notice to arrange Miss Parker's transfer." The nurse remained calm and composed. "As for the destination, that decision will need to come from you. At this stage, we can only assist with the paperwork."Everything in her tone made it clear that the matter wasn't open for discussion.Helen stared at Leon, lost and bewildered. "Leon, is Diana really that angry with me? Is she truly determined to leave me with nowhere to go?"Leon glanced at her. The absolute dependence in her eyes, always fixed on him, only deepened his headache.He knew Diana. This was beneath her.Without another word, he walked to the window and called his assistant. "The hospital is pushing for Helen's transfer. Find out who's behind it.""Right away."The reply came within minutes.

In the hospital, Helen lay in bed, every trace of color drained from her face. She watched Leon step in from the balcony, his expression dark after the phone call.Something stirred in her chest. She quickly arranged her face into an urgent expression and made a show of trying to sit up. "Mr. Kingston, I've already said your wife didn't push me on purpose. Please don't argue with her because of me..."She had spent enough time beside Leon to develop a decent read on Diana. A woman that proud would never lower herself to explain a misunderstanding to her husband. The harder Leon pressed, the further apart they would drift.What Helen hadn't expected was the look on his face when his eyes settled on her.His gaze sharpened. He said nothing. He simply watched her, his scrutiny open and unguarded.Helen maintained her composure for the first minute or so. Then the weight of his stare began to wear on her. Her scalp prickled, her expression tightened slightly, and discomfort edged into

On the other end of the line, Diana's voice remained cool and devoid of feeling. A life had been lost, yet she spoke as though it carried no weight at all.Leon's frustration surged at once, a sharp throb building at his temples. Even so, he kept his voice controlled. "Diana, you weren't like this before. No matter the circumstances, you shouldn't have laid hands on her."The disappointment in his tone was unmistakable. In his memory, Diana had always been cold and precise, but never cruel. She wasn't someone who would treat a human life as though it meant nothing.He hadn't even paused to explain how the miscarriage had really happened.Diana had no interest in continuing the argument.Then his last remark settled heavily between them.Not far away, Hugo let his gaze drift, seemingly careless, across the straight line of Diana's back. He caught the brief stillness that passed through her. It was enough for him to understand that she had once felt something for Leon.That didn't

Joseph understood what Albus was implying. The Kingstons needed a new heir. Anything less would likely leave Albus dissatisfied, no matter what else was offered.For years, the Kingstons had moved through Brimcrest without trouble, thanks in no small part to their close ties with the Huttons.That relationship could not be allowed to fracture. If necessary, the heir could be replaced.Joseph glanced at his younger son, who stood casually beside Diana, and let out a quiet breath.If the timing had been different, he might have considered putting Hugo forward for an arranged marriage.But an eight-year age gap was too much. Hugo wasn't the kind of man anyone could push into something against his will. And the Jillsons, with only one grandson to continue the bloodline, would never agree to him marrying a divorced woman, even if she was the Huttons' eldest daughter.All of it passed through Joseph's mind in an instant. When he finally spoke, his tone remained smooth and steady. "Of c

Seeing how open Sydney was with Agatha, Tiffany stayed silent.Agatha's eyes widened. She hurried forward to steady Sydney in her seat. "Pregnant? Since when? You're still in the first trimester, right? You have to be careful—those first three months are the most fragile."She slapped her forehead

"Alright, alright." Agatha loved hearing Sydney talk. Smiling with crinkled eyes, she agreed at once. "When you have some free time, come by my place for a visit?""Of course," Sydney answered quickly. "But it might have to wait a bit. I've been swamped with work lately."The clinic, the lab, the

Eloise narrowed her eyes, the lines at their corners deepening with calculation. "You're certain it'll work?""You really don't trust me enough." Penelope's tone brimmed with confidence.Falsifying efficacy data could destroy careers and ruin an entire corporation. Sydney's career was already as g

Before Sydney could finish her sentence, the data finally came through. She and Marcus bent over the screen together, and in each other's eyes they saw the same look—relief and exhilaration mingled in perfect balance.The drug's approval for market release was virtually guaranteed.Marcus grinned.
