The next morning, Dixon drove Diana to the office to take care of some urgent matters. Afterward, he went to the mall to buy a gift and returned to pick her up. They then headed to her grandfather’s house in the Sandiego Park neighborhood. "Dixon, if they ask you a lot of questions, just give short answers. And if they say anything bad about you, please don’t get angry," Diana said awkwardly. "I know how they are." "Don’t worry, I know how to handle it," Dixon replied with a small smile. At the Malemoo family house in Sandiego Park, the atmosphere was lively. Lanterns and ribbons decorated every corner, making it feel like a grand celebration. "Why are there only three decorations?!" shouted Sophia, Diana’s eldest aunt. "Each family should bring at least two beautiful decorations. If you can’t afford to buy one, at least rent it!" "Jaden, where are the decorations from your family? Hurry up and put them up!" she barked. The kitchen was getting noisier. "Why are we shor
Before Mr. Malemoo could say anything, the sound of a car horn echoed, and a vehicle pulled into the yard. Sophia glanced at it briefly and stepped forward with a wide smile on her face. "Diana, move your car to the side. My son is going to park here. Your cheap car can park somewhere else. Don't take this spot!" Sophia said. Jaden and the others looked stunned. They had no idea where Sophia got the nerve to call the BMW in front of them a cheap car. Diana didn’t move. She frowned, feeling a little uneasy. Her aunt's tone was too much. After all, parking should follow a first-come, first-served rule. "Why are you still daydreaming?" Sophia noticed Diana’s hesitation and grew visibly displeased. She turned toward Dixon. "The keys are in your hand, so move the car." The car behind had stopped, hesitating to park next to the BMW out of fear of scratching it. The driver eventually got out, turned off the engine, and inspected the BMW from front to back, whistling. "Whose g
Diana clenched her fists, and her face began to flush with anger. She could no longer hold back her emotions. "Since your eyesight is so sharp, why don't you take a look at the purchase receipt and tell me if any street vendor sells something like this?" Sophia was stunned for a moment, then pulled out the receipt from the gift bag and checked the price. Her eyes widened. "$70,000?!" she exclaimed in shock. "How is that even possible?!" Sophia’s outburst was enough to shock everyone in the room. Tania couldn’t believe it. Her family had felt proud bringing a $5,000 massage chair, thinking it would impress others. But now, they couldn’t say a word. Just Diana’s bracelet alone cost $70,000! Jaden, who initially wanted to confirm whether Sophia had misread the amount, fell silent, knowing Sophia wouldn’t make a mistake about money. "What did you say it was?" asked Mr. Malemoo. "$70,000, Daddy," Jaden replied. "Yoruna really showed her devotion by giving something that exp
"Not much," Dixon replied calmly. Sophia exchanged glances with Christen, both looking puzzled. What was really going on? They knew Yoruna’s family situation well. Diana was the only one working, while Yoruna had to care for William since he’d been paralyzed. They’d lived very frugally for years, so it made no sense for them to suddenly have that much money. Tania hurried to the kitchen and returned with plates, and soon, the table was filled with eight or nine dishes. Jaden’s wife, Naya, removed her apron and wiped the sweat from her forehead. “Everything’s ready! Please, everyone, enjoy the meal.” Her face lit up when she saw Diana. “Diana, I’m sorry I was busy in the kitchen and couldn’t greet you earlier. This is your husband, right?” "Hello, Auntie," Dixon greeted her warmly. “Oh, hello!” she responded happily. Sophia sneered at how polite Jaden’s wife was to Dixon and Diana, thinking to herself, “My sister-in-law sure knows how to treat people with money.” “Daddy
"The heir of Hamilton Group?" Sophia froze for a few seconds as if she had been hit by a cannonball. Then she started shouting again, "That's impossible! That worthless William could never inherit the assets of the Hamilton family!" "The old Hamilton Group has collapsed. Now there's a new Hamilton Group, with my father-in-law as the chairman, and Diana as the CEO," Dixon calmly continued. Sophia's face turned red with anger. She refused to believe any of this. Yoruna living a better life than hers? That couldn't be true! "I actually didn’t want Diana to come here and eat with people like you,” Dixon said with an ungracious attitude. "Grandpa, Diana and I have some business to attend to, so we won’t be dining with you today." Given the awkward atmosphere, Dixon knew that Diana also didn’t want to stay. He held Diana's hand and turned to leave. "Diana!" Jaden chased after them. "Don't be angry!" Diana shook her head, saying nothing. "If she wants to leave, let her! It's no
Diana didn’t say anything the entire way home. After a long silence, she finally looked at Dixon. "Am I foolish?" "How could my wife be foolish?" "You always say I'm kind-hearted, but being too kind is just as bad as being foolish, right?" Diana gave a bitter smile. "My eldest aunt has always looked down on my family. I don’t like her, but I can’t force myself to hate her just because she's my aunt." "But there are people in this world who don’t deserve my kindness, right?" Diana asked again. "You didn’t say anything today so I could realize this on my own, didn’t you?" Diana looked at Dixon, her tone serious. Dixon chuckled. "I just said my dear wife isn’t foolish; in fact, you're very smart." After Dixon’s response, Diana fell silent. She looked out the window, taking a deep breath after a moment. "Dixon, I realize I’m starting to like you." She didn’t look at Dixon, but her words made his heart skip a beat. *** "I didn't expect the Hamilton Group to actually chang
"Diana!" Tarry shouted like a vengeful ghost. "Is this the type of person your company hires? Just wait and see!" She stormed out in a fury, her high heels clacking loudly. "Call in the cleaning staff and spray some air freshener in here. Why does it smell like rotting stench?" Dixon mocked Tarry. Tarry had just stepped one foot into the elevator when she heard the insult, and her rage flared up even more! Diana nearly burst out laughing at Tarry's furious expression. Her secretary and other staff members couldn't hold back either and laughed out loud. "Dixon, your eyesight is incredible! You can even spot her plastic surgeries!" Diana tried to stifle her laughter as she made her way to her office. "How did you know she had plastic surgery?" Diana turned to Dixon after a moment. "It's too obvious. The doctor who did it was probably a quack," Dixon replied with a straight face. Dixon's observational skills were incredibly sharp; he could even detect when someone was weari
At the hotel... Nato stood by the large glass window. "Yes, Boss. I think it would be better if I handle this project myself. Tarry seems to have some personal issues that might affect her judgment," Nato said on the phone. "Don’t worry, Boss, I’ll take care of this." After ending the call, Nato turned to look at the photo and information on Diana that he had collected on the table. He had asked someone to investigate everything before arriving at the hotel. "Diana. She’s beautiful. A girl who looks so pure," Nato licked his lips. "A woman like this must be very pleasing." "A woman with beauty like hers choosing to marry a useless man? Maybe she just wanted to use someone insignificant as a shield. Quite a clever idea." "Modify the proposal for the Hamilton Group now and adjust it to my requirements," Nato immediately sent instructions to his secretary. "Diana, no woman who catches my interest can escape me!" *In the next room* Tarry lay in a bathtub full of bubbles. He
