The bodyguard knew they were unable to exit the lab safely. He counted down to the final second, then yelled at Kate, “Get down!”Kate was stunned, but she managed to follow suit and threw herself on the floor.A huge sound exploded right behind them. The entire lab exploded in that instant.By a stroke of luck, Kate and the bodyguard weren’t hit by anything heavy, and only suffered some minor scratches. It was ultimately due to Simon’s quick thinking. In order to prevent Diana from being hurt, he decided to jump out of the window with Jim.The farther they were from the lab, the farther Diana would be from the impact of the explosion. That would also allow both of them to die without leaving any part of their bodies behind.Firstly, he didn’t want Diana seeing his corpse in a terrible state. Secondly, having seen Jim get physically close to Diana, he wanted Jim to die a terrible death!Julian heard the explosion right behind them. After passing Diana and Betty to the doctors,

The police chief somehow found that name familiar.Within moments, his eyes widened. He stuttered, “The…the richest man in the country?!”Julian nodded.Fulcher Inc. had grown tremendously over the years, and even more so during the three years in Diana’s absence. Julian’s wealth had exceeded his peak of the past during this period of accelerated growth.It could be said that the money he had right now was enough for ten lifetimes of luxurious lifestyle.The policeman looked reverentially at Julian, all the more certain that today’s incident was not straightforward at all. “Jim’s mother was at the scene,” Julian said. He didn’t want things to end just like this.Simon was dead, and Julian wanted justice to be served for his death.For some reason, everyone at the scene subconsciously waited for his orders.Julian issued his instructions, “Bring her over.”Jim’s mother was even crazier than Jim when he was alive. She brought harm upon so many people for the sake of pursuing t

Some things were best said as early as possible. Otherwise, like with Simon, Diana might end up having no chance to say what she wanted to say.Kate’s fingers trembled. She looked at Diana, and was so shocked she was unable to speak.Diana thought she was frightened, and needed Julian to call for a doctor.All of a sudden, Kate ran out of the ward.“I’ll go take a look at her,” Julian said, stopping Diana from coming down from the bed. He stood up and followed behind Kate.Outside the ward, Kate hurriedly wiped her tears away when she saw Julian walking over. “Mr. Fulcher.”She felt so guilty.Just a few moments ago, she was angry at Julian for the tension between him and Diana. She thought Julian had made Diana suffer, and neglected her emotionally.She didn’t expect herself to be the one to ill-treat Diana.The tears were getting on her nerves. They just kept coming, despite her trying her hardest to wipe them away. She had to keep on wiping them away.In no time, her sle

“Julian, we’ve been through so much, it can be written into a thick book. Do you still not understand? We must always look ahead in life. If we remain stuck in the past, it’s not fair to anyone. Simon is dead—we have no way of bringing him back to life, but we can live better and happier.“In fact…” Diana went on, biting her lip. “I will remember him my whole life. I’ll be grateful to him, and I may even love him. However, it’s not the romantic love between a man and a woman. It’s love between family members, gratitude to people who have left us but done so much for us.”Julian finally revealed what he had been hesitant to say. “There’s a letter here. Take a look at it. Even if you have a change of mind after reading it, I’ll accept whatever decision you make.”Diana was stunned. “Letter?”“Yes. Simon asked me to pass it to you.”Diana took it.The words “To Julian” were written on the envelope. However, the first line of the letter was addressed to Diana, wishing her well.Di

All his life, Simon had wanted the recognition of the Fulcher family. Yet, until his death, Julian never acknowledged him as a brother.Simon also never saw Betty acknowledge him as a blood-related uncle instead of just a close family friend.Diana decided to tell Betty everything about Simon. She felt that Betty was old enough to understand many things. She believed Betty had the right to form her own opinions and impressions about Simon.After listening, Betty remained silent for a long while. Then, she looked at Diana and asked, "Mommy, do you think Uncle Simon was a good person?" After all, he had done terrible things to Diana. He caused a rift between her and Julian, and keeping Betty and Sean away from Julian. But now, Simon had sacrificed himself to protect them. For the first time, Betty felt the complexity of human nature."Yes," Diana responded decisively. "I think he’s a good person. He just...never received love when he was younger, so he didn't know how to love."
