Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable Chapter 824
Dinner was warm and relaxed from start to finish.Afterward, Sydney moved to arrange some fruit and tea, but Agatha stopped her. "That's enough. Just sit. Polly and the others have it handled."Sydney sighed. "I was only going to give them directions.""Even giving directions takes it out of you." Agatha gave her a mild look, then turned to Diana. "Diana, Ray, sit a while longer. I'll go check on those potted flowers in the back garden."Her intention was obvious. She wanted to give the young people some room to talk.Raymond and Diana both agreed. Before Agatha had gone far, Raymond spoke without much hesitation. "By the way, now that Leon's statement is out, have some of the partnerships picked back up?"Diana knew exactly what he was asking. "Mm. A few companies that had put things on hold reached out to him again yesterday afternoon."Entrepreneurs naturally chased profit. There was nothing more to say about it."He's probably feeling pretty pleased with himself right now,"

Julian readily agreed. "Then I'll have Charlotte send the materials over tomorrow."Diana picked up her cup and took a sip. Her expression barely changed, as if she had just closed an entirely ordinary deal.Raymond sat off to the side, his gaze shifting between the two of them. He couldn't help but laugh. "You two close a deal faster than I can order food.""That's because you fuss too much over the menu," Julian replied flatly.Raymond choked on that for a second.Just as he was about to fire back, someone knocked on the study door.Sydney's voice came through the wood. "Julian, are you two done talking yet? Grandma says dinner will be ready in ten minutes."At that, Julian stood and headed for the door. "Perfect timing. We just finished."He pulled the door open to find Sydney outside with a plate of cut fruit.She peeked into the study, saw Diana and Raymond already on their feet, and smiled as she waved them over. "Good. Then let's go downstairs and eat.""What did you m

The next morning, the sky finally cleared.Raymond arrived at Seraph Villa right on time. He had been massaging Florence's legs, but the moment he saw Diana come downstairs, he rose to his feet. "Diana, let's go. I already gave Julian a heads-up.""Mm." Diana's hair was pinned back as neatly as ever, and her entire bearing was cool and composed."Off you go, off you go." Florence knew they had business to handle. "Tell Vee to take good care of herself and call me the moment she goes into labor.""Don't worry. Even if you hadn't said anything, Diana and I would have reminded her ourselves."Raymond smiled, then followed Diana out the door.When they reached the car, Diana glanced at him. "What exactly did you tell Julian?""Just that you needed to see him about something." Raymond walked around the front of the car and opened the passenger door for her. "Don't worry. I didn't tell him what it was about. But that guy is sharp. He's probably already guessed most of it."Diana aske

Diana held the phone in silence for a long moment.On the other end, Albus received no response, and his tone turned even colder. "Diana, do you understand what I'm telling you?""I understand." Diana's voice remained perfectly even. "Since you feel the timing isn't right, I'll wait a while longer."Albus seemed not to have expected such a quick, straightforward answer. He fell silent for a beat, as though trying to gauge how much he could trust it.At last, he spoke again, his voice softer. "As long as you understand. It's not that I won't let you divorce. It's just that divorcing now benefits neither you nor the family. Once this dies down completely, do whatever you decide. I won't stand in your way.""Mm." Diana said nothing more and ended the call.She was about to set her phone on the desk when she noticed a missed call in the log.It was from Raymond.Before she could call him back, he called again."Diana, I just landed. I'm already in Norchester." Raymond's voice came

Leon did not even give Summer a chance to respond before hanging up.Summer might be impulsive, but she was also the type to bully the weak and cower before the strong. A few sharp words were enough to silence her, and she would not dare stir up any more trouble.The moment the call ended, Summer let out a breath of relief.The trick of drawing someone out by pretending to already know the truth, which she had learned from Hugo, had actually worked.She wasted no time and immediately sent him the call recording.Then the anxiety she had just managed to suppress crept back in. She had no idea whether the recording would satisfy Hugo. After all, Leon still had not directly admitted that he was behind it.But from what she had learned through her dealings with him, Leon was simply too shrewd. This was already the most she could manage.Fortunately, she did not have to wait long before a new message appeared on her screen.Hugo: [Well done.]Just two simple words, yet Summer's fin

At the same time, Leon was keeping a close eye on the public reaction after the statement went out.[I knew it. Ms. Hutton and Mr. Kingston look so well matched. There's no way they would really divorce.][Mr. Kingston actually came out and clarified things himself. You can tell how devoted he is to Ms. Hutton.][Exactly. I hope Ms. Hutton appreciates it. Don't let a high position go to your head...]Leon scrolled through the comments, the faint curve at the corner of his mouth never quite fading.A knock sounded at the door.Liam pushed it open and stepped inside. "Mr. Kingston, the statement is landing well. Public opinion online is shifting exactly the way we hoped. For the time being, it won't be easy for your wife to bring up divorce again."Also, the company that pulled out of our partnership the day before yesterday just sent back the signed contract."Leon set down his coffee cup and tapped the desk twice with his fingertip. "Any movement from the Hutton family?""Noth
