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

Meanwhile, in Jouleston, Diana had done something rare for a workday: stayed home. She sat in the living room, playing chess with Florence.Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sun was setting. If not for the story that had broken the day before, the scene would have felt genuinely peaceful.She pinched a black piece between her fingers and was about to set it down when the phone beside her buzzed.When she saw a message from Nina, she picked it up.[Ms. Hutton, Mr. Kingston's statement has been released. Do you want to respond?]Beneath it was a forwarded news clip.Diana tapped it open.In the video, Leon sat in a conference room in a well-cut suit. His posture was solemn and sincere, and his tone was measured to perfection."Regarding the false information circulating online, I would like to make a formal statement."My wife and I have always had a good relationship. The talk of divorce is nothing more than a rumor. At most, we have had a few minor misunderstandings, a

Panic flickered across Summer's face. Hugo gave her no time to gather her thoughts before he took another step forward. His expression revealed nothing, yet the pressure radiating from him was immense."The Wanda Greene you bribed was the one who got you those photos. And you were the one who posted them online," he said.Summer looked away, her voice unsteady. "I... I don't understand what you're talking about."Hugo's gaze settled on her face, his voice cold. "Don't understand? Then let me spell it out. First, you bribed Wanda to watch my every move. Then you had her photograph me meeting my sister."Now you've gone and tipped off the media with that story. You did all of this yourself, and now you're telling me you don't understand?""I didn't!" Summer's voice rose sharply as panic cornered her. "Those photos didn't come from me!"Hugo watched her, his gaze sharp and unwavering. "Then where did they come from?" Summer's breathing quickened. "I don't know.""Fine." Hugo look

Diana lowered her eyes slightly. Her fingertip hovered over the screen for a moment before she typed a reply.Diana: [This has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it. Get some rest.]After pressing Send, she turned her phone face down on the desk.She did not ask how the photo from the Jillson Group had gotten out, nor did she ask what Hugo intended to do about it.She sat quietly for a while longer before she rose, switched off the study light, and went to her bedroom to rest.…When Hugo received Diana's message, his fingers tightened involuntarily around his phone.She had not interrogated him, blamed him, or even asked a single additional question. Yet her trust only made the smoldering anger in his chest burn hotter.Yes. It seemed this matter truly could not be separated from Leon.But how, exactly, had Leon managed to extend his reach into the Jillson Group?Someone inside the Jillson Group had taken those photos and leaked them right under Hugo's nose.His expres
