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
“Hurry! Direct everyone to the west!” “The other group, head east! We need to find this car as quickly as possible!” Cars raced off in every direction, and everyone could feel that something big was about to happen. Meanwhile, Zokhu, who had just arrived in Reddof, immediately sensed something was wrong. “What’s going on here? Why does the atmosphere feel like this?” A bad feeling crept over him. “Damn it! Why isn’t Nato answering his phone?” Zokhu tried calling repeatedly, but there was no answer. He knew something must have gone terribly wrong. “Where are they?” he asked anxiously. “We just got some information. They’re at the Loren Hotel!” replied one of his men. “Get there now!” Zokhu ordered, hoping Diana wasn’t hurt. If she was, Nato would surely be a dead man when he found out! *** Elsewhere, Dixon moved quickly. Those training at the facility had also received the news from Paulo. Gobu didn’t even have time to wipe the mud off his body, his eyes blazing with f
Dixon lifted one foot and kicked the door hard. Nato was just about to pounce on Diana when a massive explosion sounded behind him. The door flew inward and crashed loudly onto the floor. Nato spun around and roared angrily, "Who’s there?! Who dares interrupt me?!" Turning, the first thing he saw was Dixon, emanating a deadly aura. Nato narrowed his eyes. "He got here so quickly?" Dixon scanned the room and spotted Diana cowering in a corner, her face full of fear and tears, clutching a lamp handle tightly. "You really found your way here," taunted Nato, still oblivious to the danger he faced. "Right on time! It’s fascinating to see how I’ll leave here with your wife." Dixon moved, without a trace of hesitation. Like a rocket, he reached Nato in a flash. Dixon’s kick landed directly in Nato’s groin. “AHHH!!” Nato’s scream echoed throughout the room. Both his arms and legs broke, and his groin was drenched in blood. Fresh blood spilled as he rolled around on the floor,
Dixon carried Diana in his arms. "Let’s go," he said gently. Diana remained silent, resting obediently in Dixon's embrace with her eyes closed. She didn’t want to see any of what had happened. After they left, Gobu entered the room with several other men. “What are you going to do? What do you want?!” Nato shouted in fear, feeling as if his soul had left his body. "Take him away!" *** On the way home, Diana never let go of Dixon. Hiding in his arms was the safest place in the world for her. Dixon carried her all the way back. When they reached home, Dixon noticed that Diana had fallen asleep in his arms. He carefully tried to lay her down on the bed, but she startled awake, panicked. “Dixon! Dixon!” she cried out. “I’m here, just relax; I’m here,” Dixon reassured her. He held her close, letting her fall back asleep in his embrace. She was truly traumatized. Shortly after, Yoruna and William hurried into the room, their faces full of worry. But they sighed in relief
