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
“Get out! You don’t deserve to be the CEO Diana’s husband, and you definitely shouldn’t be sitting with me,” Nato sneered. “A homeless man leeching off his wife’s family, how amusing!” Nato laughed disdainfully. “HAHA! Leave now. Don’t disturb my dinner with CEO Diana.” “You’ve gone too far!” Diana snapped before Dixon could speak. Dixon had always protected her, so there was no way Diana would stand by while her husband was humiliated like this. “Apologize?” Nato was momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter. “CEO Diana, stop pretending. He’s just a shield; there’s no need to take him seriously. He’s not worthy of you.” “Besides, I’m a better match for you. CEO Diana, if you become my woman, I can boost the project’s profits by 5%. Trust me, it’s a small matter easily handled.” Nato's face was full of confidence. “I said, apologize to Dixon!” Diana glared at Nato. “You claim he’s not good enough for me, but the person who’s unworthy is you!” “I won’t let you insul
Everyone waited to see where Paulo had come from and whether he had support from the north. Until they were certain of his background, anyone who acted rashly would surely die! Zokhu's heart suddenly pounded. He looked up anxiously, remembering that Nato had gone to Reddof to discuss some investment projects on behalf of Cita Group. "I have an urgent matter. I'll treat you next time!" Zokhu hurriedly stood up and tried to call Nato, but his call went unanswered. "Prepare the car; we need to head to Reddof immediately!" *** At Hamilton Office Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door. Diana panicked, leaping from Dixon’s embrace like a startled rabbit and quickly straightening her clothes, though a blush still lingered on her cheeks. "Come in!" Diana tried to appear calm, sitting back at her desk with a serious expression. It was Diana's female secretary, Arum, who entered. "CEO Diana, am I interrupting?" Arum glanced at Dixon, who was lounging on the sofa, sipping tea
