To think Clifford dared attack her so openly!
Diana immediately suspected that he probably held one of Julian’s weaknesses. Otherwise, he
wouldn’t have the guts to treat her like this.
With that thought in mind, she decided not to resist.
When she was by Julian’s side, she was a petite woman who needed to be pampered and comforted.
Once he wasn’t around, she was a strong and independent woman.
Diana furrowed her brows slightly, her gaze appearing particularly sharp. She made an effort to calm
herself down.
“Sure.”
If she agreed to Clifford’s demands, Julian wouldn’t be threatened no matter what cards Clifford held.
All she had to do was wait for Julian to come back. He had promised to return before the new year, and
now, there were only two days left until New Year’s Eve.
She could endure for two more days. Julian would surely take her away from here.
As the night fell, however, Diana became less composed. When Clifford mentioned accompanying
Luke, he meant accompanying his memorial portrait…
At this moment, she was alone on the villa’s third floor. She looked out the window; the surroundings
were pitch black.
The villa, situated on the city’s outskirts, felt like an isolated island.
And she was in the center of this island.
The terror in her heart grew stronger.
Luke’s memorial portrait was placed right in the middle of the table, and it felt like he was staring
straight at her.
Even if Diana was bold, she dared not neglect it. She feared Clifford would devise a sinister scheme to
deal with her once and for all.
Before Julian could reach her, she had to ensure her own safety.
That was the only method she could come up with, so that Julian wouldn’t be threatened ever again.
Diana gritted her teeth and tried to distract herself by thinking about other things, and not pay so much
attention to Luke’s eerie memorial portrait.
By doing so, she instantly understood Julian’s intentions when he arranged for Kayla to be locked up in
the mortuary.
Diana was only facing a memorial portrait, but she was already so frightened. She couldn’t imagine
what it felt to be Kayla back then, faced with a room full of corpses!
Julian…was truly sinister.
Thinking about him, the goosebumps on her body finally settled down and she relaxed a bit. She
reminded herself of Simon’s words; he said they wouldn’t harm her. She had to believe in that.
Otherwise, tonight…
Since she had to stay with this treacherous-looking memorial portrait the whole time, who knows if her
heart might stop suddenly at any moment!
She couldn’t overthink and frighten herself to that point.
As long as Julian came back…
As long as he returned, everything would be fine.
Diana reassured herself repeatedly. It was just spending a night with a memorial portrait to appease
Clifford’s anger!
She could do it!
Finally, tired of crouching in the corner, she crossed her legs and assumed a meditative posture. She
lifted her head and looked at the sky outside the window.
Diana tried to keep her spirits up. Madam Fulcher used to say that the deceased would become stars
and guard their loved ones from where they were in the heavens.
So, she had three guardian stars.
One was Madam Fulcher, and the other two were her babies.
With this thought in mind, the night didn’t seem so difficult to endure.
But in the late hours of the night, when the moon and stars were scarce, the light in the room suddenly
went out without warning.
At the same time, the memorial portrait on the table seemed to shake. Diana was terrified to move
even an inch.
She finally felt fear stab her heart.
Clifford was such a ruthless man. Did he really want Diana to accompany his deceased son’s portrait,
and nothing else?
Diana wanted to reach for her phone and call Julian, but then she remembered that Simon had taken
her phone away after she couldn’t get through to Oliver.
Her hands were empty as she retracted them, and her heart felt even emptier.
She was now like a timid bird, where even the slightest noise made her nerves jump.
And in this quiet and eerie atmosphere…
The door opened with a sinister creak…and a tall figure of a man stood outside.
Worse, he was now approaching Diana!
