"Hmm, what are you doing here? Are you up to something again?" Frank sat opposite Diana, arms crossed and looking at her warily. "Mind your own f@#$ing business!" "Bro, look at her! Which young lady from Cloud City would be as rude and foul-mouthed as her? You mustn't mess around with her!" Frank seized the opportunity to advise John. John glanced at him impatiently. "She's right. You really are meddling too much." Frank clutched his chest and looked pained. "My esports players are having a gathering here. I heard you were here, so I left them to come over. And yet, you reject me!" "Then go back to them," John said coldly, his demeanor resembling that of a heartless man who had abandoned his girlfriend. "Dude, I misjudged you!" Frank felt like his heart was punched. Whenever it came to Diana, he lost all his principles. After all, she was the one who almost crippled him. Frank wanted to rush forward and strangle John's neck, to make him realize and choose the right path of stayin
Diana felt the uneasy atmosphere around her and instinctively lifted her head, only to meet John's cold gaze. He was staring at her intensely, with that familiar gloom in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow everything up. Did he get angry? Strange, could it be that he sensed her inappropriate thoughts about him?! Diana instinctively shrunk her neck and unconsciously moved away from him. Seeing her reaction, the man's expression became even more unpleasant. Suddenly, he reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder. Then he went on to touch the spot where her tattoo was attached to the back of her neck. His rough fingers caressed her porcelain skin, with a hidden anger. Diana suddenly felt a hint of fear, like a prey bitten by a fierce beast on the neck. "Diana, are you afraid of me?" John's voice was low, with a sense of oppression. Diana remained silent. At this moment, the feeling of being controlled by him rushed back to her body and mind. She widened her eyes, stiffened her bo
That familiar tone... Ronin?! Diana realized she had just given him her phone number. She didn't expect a response so quickly! She immediately replied to his message. [Diana: Long time no see!] [Ronin: It's been a few years, and you've become so beautiful. 😍Tsk tsk, I want to kidnap you even more now.] Diana was shocked. This scumbag dared to hack her phone and invade her privacy?! Diana quickly intercepted his intrusion. [Ronin: Oh, it looks like I taught you well, not bad.] [Diana: Stop talking nonsense and help me out.] [Ronin: Okay, but you have to help me win some games first.] [Diana: Okay, I'm online.] Their relationship was so good because of Diana's godlike talent in gaming. Diana was a genius esports player, with many esports clubs trying to recruit her when she was only ten or so years old, but she wasn't interested and refused. She was always the first player in the first district and no one could match her
After a hearty meal, Diana was stuffed to the point of feeling dizzy. She couldn't bear to disappoint her brothers' doting. She rubbed her belly and leisurely walked upstairs. As soon as she reached the top, Maddie approached her with an expectant look on her face. Diana felt a bit puzzled, but with her current state, she didn't have the energy to deal with her. Diana opened her room's door and walked in, but to her surprise, Maddie followed her. As soon as they entered, Maddie quickly closed the door, giving off an air of secrecy. "Diana, what did Luke say?" Maddie asked. Diana was filled with question marks. Luke? Why mention that idiot? Seeing Diana remain silent, Maddie quickly grabbed her hand. "Diana, why aren't you speaking? Did you see Luke today? Did he say something that made you sad?" Maddie pressed. Only then did Diana understand the situation. So Maddie thought she went to see Luke today?!?! Diana almost lost control of her facial expression. She lay down on the bed, tr
Soon, two luxurious figures appeared at the entrance. It was Serena and Maddie. Maddie wore an elegant pink dress and smiled gracefully. As soon as she entered, she felt a sharp gaze directed towards her. She quickly lifted her head and saw the handsome man on the main seat. John?! He had never looked at her like this before... Maddie felt her chest rapidly beating. She lowered her gaze, a hint of shyness flashing across her face, and gracefully walked in under the curious gaze of the crowd. "Why is it just the two of you? Where are the other members of the Thompson family?" Jackson couldn't help but ask. The guests around them also looked puzzled. "Well..." Maddie looked a little embarrassed. She raised her head, wanting to speak but feeling shy, and glanced at John not far away. She softly said, "When we were about to leave today, Diana suddenly didn't feel well and stayed in her room. No matter what we said, she wouldn't come out..." She sighed and continued, "So Mr. Thompson let
"Open it and see!" Diana held the box in front of John, looking at him eagerly. John's eyes narrowed slightly, and under her intense gaze, he reached out his well-proportioned hand and opened the box. Seeing what was inside, his eyes widened in shock, and his heart started pounding in his chest. It was an exquisitely carved blue rose that looked incredibly lifelike. Under the flower, a young man and woman were standing back to back, with their hands lightly clasped together. The facial features and expressions of the figures were so realistic that it was clearly him! And the girl... was Diana! The entire carving was so realistic, with dewdrops rolling down the petals, and even the details of the clothing were intricately and vividly portrayed. Not just John, but everyone present was stunned. Especially James, who had a trace of shocked light in his eyes as he saw the scene of Diana carving when she was a child. In the blink of an eye, she had grown up so much... "This, this was carv
Maddie supported Diana as they slowly made their way towards the guest room. Diana felt like a limp ragdoll, all her weight resting on Maddie and making her pant for breath. This little girl was so damn heavy! But it didn't matter. Once they got her next to Luke, everything would fall into place. Maddie propped up Diana and eagerly headed towards the guest room. Suddenly, she felt a dizzying sensation, as if she was drunk. This couldn't be right... her tolerance for alcohol wasn't this low! Maddie grew increasingly puzzled. As they approached the guest room, she stumbled and had to grab onto the nearby hallway. "Maddie, are you alright? You don't look so good," Diana said calmly, her eyes revealing a hint of suspicion. From Maddie's behavior, she probably knew that Maddie had slipped something into her drink earlier. That was low even for her. She would let Maddie reap what she had sown. "I'm fine," Maddie furrowed her brow and bit her lip. Suddenly, she real
Serena rushed into the room and grabbed the pitcher of water from the table, pouring it over Maddie, who was half-awake on the bed. "Maddie, wake up!"The icy water startled Maddie, and her mind gradually cleared. "Mom?" she said, holding her head, which was throbbing with pain. She looked at Serena and then at James, who was standing by the door with a black face. Suddenly, she regained her senses."Ahh!" she cried out, quickly adjusting her dress, which had been disheveled. Her face turned bright red. How could this be happening? Wasn't it supposed to be Diana who had hooked up with Luke? And now... it turned out that she had fallen into her own trap? Maddie's mind went blank."Maddie! Don't you know you have a low tolerance for alcohol? You drank so much and lost consciousness. The result... the result..." Serena suddenly shouted, then hugged Maddie, looking sorrowful.Maddie immediately realized what had happened. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she
