Once a Doormat, Now Untouchable Chapter 735
Hugo watched Diana walk through the gate before turning back to the car. He didn't drive straight to the estate. Instead, he leaned back in the driver's seat and sent Diana a message.Hugo: [Hey, remember to eat the cake.]Her reply came almost immediately.Diana: [Eating it now. Are you home yet?]Hugo: [Not yet. Still on the road.]Diana: [Drive safe.]Hugo stared at those two words for a long moment before starting the car with a smile.…The lights were on throughout the old Kingston estate.Marvin looked up when Hugo walked in and set aside the newspaper he had been reading. "Did you sort out your brother's business?"Before Leon left, Marvin had asked Hugo to keep an eye on the situation and prevent the two families from falling out."It's done." Hugo sat down on the sofa. "They'll get the papers in 30 days."Marvin let out a heavy sigh, equal parts disappointment and frustration. "Your brother is hopeless. He let a marriage that good slip right through his fingers."

Penelope and Megan received their verdicts on the same day.Penelope was sentenced to a total of five years for aiding drug trafficking and kidnapping. Megan received a seven-year sentence, and the court ordered the confiscation of all her personal assets.By the time the news reached Brimcrest, Diana was already on her way to the courthouse.A fine rain drifted from the gray sky. Nina sat in the passenger seat and repeated the details from the news report.Diana hummed in acknowledgment. "Speak with both the detention center and the prison. Make sure they don't bother Vee again.""Understood."Nina quickly sent a message, and the car soon rolled to a stop outside the courthouse.Leon was waiting near the entrance. The moment he saw Diana step out of the car, he hurried over. "Diana."Diana nodded and walked inside. She took a seat across from the clerk.Sliding the divorce agreement across the table, she said, "Sign it."Leon spoke quietly. "Helen already left. She went to N

Ever since learning that Penelope wasn't the real daughter, Sydney had not had a proper opportunity to ask about Vee. Now that the topic had come up naturally, she decided to follow it."She should be found soon," Diana said quietly.The words were right on the tip of her tongue.'You are Vee.' But Diana swallowed them back.Sydney nodded earnestly. "She will be. I'm sure of it."At those words, Florence's eyes softened and grew moist without warning. She excused herself from the table.After lunch, Sydney had just stepped outside when Diana called after her, "Sydney. Do you ever think about it? Whether your birth parents might still be out there looking for you?"Sydney turned, puzzled. "Diana, where is that coming from?"She had thought about it once, in an earlier chapter of her life. She had hoped she might find them someday. Now, that feeling had quietly faded. As long as she wasn't the child of someone who had caused harm, she no longer allowed herself to want much more t

Sydney settled into a lounge chair in the back courtyard while Yoyo sprawled at her feet, its tail swaying in a slow, occasional rhythm.The winter sun had not yet set. A light breeze drifted through the courtyard, carrying a faint chill that somehow made everything feel more relaxed and at ease."Out in the wind again?"The familiar voice came from behind her, and a thin cashmere blanket settled over her shoulders.Sydney looked up, met Julian's dark eyes, and smiled. "How are you home so early?"After finishing at the clinic, she had been tired enough to come straight home instead of stopping by the research center. More than anyone, she knew that both her health and the baby's had to come first."I came back early to keep you company." Julian sat beside her and rested a hand naturally over the curve of her belly. "Behaving today?"The question was meant for both of them.Sydney laughed and laid her hand over his. "Very well behaved. Oh, I need to start going back to Seraph V

That single sentence didn't just enrage Marvin. It left Joseph, his wife Melissa Bell, and Leon's stepmother, Clara, staring at him in disbelief."What did you just say?" Marvin's voice was thick with incredulity.His eyes remained fixed on Leon as though he were looking at someone who had lost his mind. "Do you have any idea who the Huttons are? Do you have any idea what kind of man Diana's grandfather is? Have you completely lost your head?"In the eyes of the outside world, the Kingstons carried considerable weight. By Brimcrest's standards, they ranked among the best. But compared to the Huttons, they were nowhere close.If Diana hadn't chosen Leon, he would have faced a far steeper battle to claim the inheritance in the first place.And now he was saying this. If even one member of the household staff overheard and let it slip, the Kingstons would make an enemy of the Huttons overnight.After all those years of support, this was how you repaid them. Who would ever stand with

At the very least, Caleb remained the Hamptons' only son and sole heir. Leon's situation was different. The divorce would cost him more than his marriage. It would cost him his grip on the Kingston Group.Sydney didn't know the details, but she agreed completely.A woman like Diana was worldly, clear-eyed, and backed by an exceptional family. Whoever married her was the one marrying up, at least in Sydney's eyes.Sydney spoke with absolute certainty. "Exactly. But Diana will never regret it."She hadn't known Diana for long, but she was still sure of it. Diana wasn't the kind of woman who looked back.At Brimcrest City…Leon returned only to be consumed by company business first thing the next morning. By the time he finally surfaced, it was already afternoon.He checked his watch, picked up his cashmere coat, and headed for the door. He nearly collided with Liam, who was coming the other way.Leon frowned. "Something urgent?""Yes..." Liam hesitated, holding a two-copy docume

As soon as they left work, Marcus finally asked about what had happened at noon. "How did you know they'd crack? What if they hadn't? Were you really going to quit?"Sydney tilted her head back and stretched her sore shoulders. "Who said I was bluffing?""That camera was real?" Marcus' surprise th

Once Caleb calmed down, he knew he could not push Sydney too far. But leaving her here alone didn't sit right either. It would only give others an opening—like Marcus, who had just dropped her off.The moment Sydney heard he planned to move in downstairs, her whole body tensed with discomfort. But

After handing it to her, Julian slipped one hand into his pocket, his expression calm and untroubled, no different from usual.Sydney hesitated, but since she already held the wallet, she figured she might as well satisfy her curiosity.When she opened it and found it completely empty—cleaner than

Sydney understood. A couple of years ago, Marcus had mentioned that his sister and brother-in-law were having marital problems. They had probably stayed together this long for the sake of the child.After dinner, they took Billy home before heading to the research institute.As soon as they entere
