Now that Diana was here, she could do nothing about it. All she could do was hope that Julian would
return to Richburgh as quickly as possible.
Just the thought of him being so far away dimmed her heart. Even her eyes lost their brilliance.
Simon sensed it. He found the long silence uncomfortable, and muttered, “Don’t worry. No one will hurt
you.”
Diana shot him an unexpected look, which annoyed him.” What are you looking at?! If you keep
looking, I’ll tear off your ears!”
His sudden aggressiveness took Diana aback. She truly couldn’t understand the twisted thought
process of this little freak. Still, it seemed he had no intention of hurting her. With that in mind, she
followed him inside.
After the incident with Luke, the Pabian family moved away. They were undoubtedly too afraid to linger
under Julian’s watchful eye, so they took the initiative to move to the outskirts, far away from the city
center of Richburgh.
The area was more spacious, precisely because it was remote.
However, the Pabian family residence was rather small. The European-style villa only had three floors,
with three rooms on each floor. It seemed not many people lived here.
After Diana entered, she realized it wasn’t that there were a few people living there-rather, Clifford was
the villa’s only residence!
To think he moved out from the city center all by himself.
“Where are the rest of the Pabians?”
Simon deliberately asked, “Are you referring to Luke?” He shrugged casually. “He’s dead.”
Of course Diana knew he was dead! And it was all because he lusted after her and got dealt with
personally by Clifford.
The revelation made her all the more anxious.
Didn’t that mean…that Clifford was equivalent to a murderer?
Was she now a guest in the lair of a murderer? And this murderer had a grudge against her, too…
The more she thought about it, the worse she felt. She silently repeated Julian’s name in her mind a
hundred times, and her face finally regained some composure.
But because she had repeated it so many times in her mind, she slipped up and said it out loud.
“Julian.”
Simon was startled to hear her calling Julian’s name.
Coldness spread through him, and he hissed through his teeth, “Do you miss him that much? Is he all
you think about? If
Was there something wrong with her thinking about her husband?
Though he wasn’t currently her husband due to their divorce, who else would she think about if not
him?
“Oliver’s genuine feelings for you were all in vain!”
Oh, so Simon was defending his brother Oliver and found the situation unfair to the latter.
Diana looked at Simon, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart. “There was nothing between me
and Oliver. We’ve never crossed any boundaries, and we’ve never had mutual admiration. He’s the
kind of person who can let go of things. He wouldn’t care if his feelings were reciprocated, and he
wouldn’t feel like he wasted anything.”
Whether she liked Oliver or not was one thing.
Whether she approved of him as a person was another.
“Oliver’s a kind and gentle man. Other people are the ones petty toward him and hold grudges, but he
wouldn’t worry about them.”
When she said these words, she fully acknowledged Oliver. Apart from love, she approved of
everything about him.
After listening, Simon glanced subtly into the living room, where the man himself stood behind in
silence.
Upon hearing Diana’s words, Oliver kept retreating, as if he had seen something terrifying. He muttered
softly, “I’m not as good as you say…”
He wasn’t the man Diana said he was.
In fact…
He was much more despicable than she could imagine.
Ultimately, he didn’t take another step forward. Instead, he turned around and walked through the back
door, leaving the villa.
Diana didn’t notice, but Simon saw it clearly. He smiled meaningfully and texted Kenneth Channing—
the current Channing patriarch-about what had just happened.
“Diana…?” Kenneth repeated her name silently after reading the text. The smile on his face gradually
faded, and he tensed.
At the same time, Diana sneezed.
She wondered, was Julian thinking about her?
