Chapter 13

Kayla followed Julian and got into the car with him. She knew Diana was standing not too far away and watching them. She also knew that Julian had gone back on his promise to her and changed the destination as soon as Diana called him. She really wanted to try that diner… However, Julian seemed frightened of Diana meeting her. It was also taking a long time for the divorce to be settled. This wasn’t in line with how Julian usually did things, so Kayla had to consider things that would benefit her more in this situation. Kayla lowered the car window and looked in the direction where Diana was standing. “Julian, is that my sister standing in front of SK Mall? It’s a good thing you changed our destination. It’d be bad if my sister saw us together.” She looked guilty and embarrassed. Julian took the initiative to reach out and wrapped his arm around her. “Don’t think too much. I just can’t eat at such a place.” Kayla leaned on his shoulder. The two of them looked like the most intimate lovers. Diana’s gaze was fixed on the Rolls-Royce limousine. She could clearly see them hugging. In the past, when she traveled with Julian, he would never hug her like that no matter how tired she was. He would simply say, “Sit down. How would this look to outsiders?” Yet, he had taken the initiative to hug someone else and even accepted the way she remained seated. Diana’s eyes were filled with disappointment. She looked away and asked Nina, “Is she really that beautiful?” Nina averted her eyes. She hid her camera behind her and mumbled, “Actually, Diana… My camera ran out of battery.” Diana glanced at Nina. “You’re a workaholic. Your camera can actually run out of battery?” “Hey, isn’t it because I went shopping with you? Of course, I won’t be thinking about work!” In truth, Nina had secretly deleted all the photos of Kayla she had captured. She held Diana’s hand and then turned off her camera. “Let’s walk around. Don’t let them affect our mood, okay? We should continue shopping.” However, Diana had other plans in mind. “Follow me back to the dress boutique we went to before. I want to look at the surveillance cameras.” Diana found everything today to be very strange. In the end, she still had to find a way to see that woman’s face clearly, The two of them went back to the L luxury shop again, and the salesgirl at the door immediately made a gesture to drive them away. “The braggarts are here again! I know many women dream of getting together with Mr. Fulcher, but this is my first time seeing people as shameless as you two!” Nina was about to lunge forward and slap the salesgirl, but Diana stopped her. She still appeared gentle and weak, with no recognizable brand on her clothes and lacking an imposing demeanor. She seemed easy to bully. However, Nina knew Diana wouldn’t give up so easily since she had already made up her mind and was here. Sure enough, Diana ignored the salesgirl and pulled Nina into L confidently. The salesgirl did not react for a while, frozen stiff. Even after she came to her senses, she didn’t dare to stop Diana. When the shop manager saw this, she quickly frowned and said arrogantly, “Sorry, but braggarts aren’t welcomed in our shop.” It seemed the fact that Diana had so-called pretended to be Mrs. Fulcher had spread throughout the shop. Diana wasn’t angry. Instead, she took out a black card and placed it in front of the manager. “Is this enough?” When the shop manager saw this, her attitude did a one-eighty. She stammered, “M-Mrs. Fulcher…” “It’s good that you understand the situation now.” Diana had no intention to embarrass or make things difficult for them, so she went on gently, “I didn’t come here this time to buy clothes, but I have three requests.” “Firstly, I want you to fire that salesgirl named Loraine Lee. Secondly, the dress with the black flowers on the white background that was sold just now has problems with its quality, so it must be returned to the shop immediately. Don’t let the customer wear it and affect the brand image.” “Thirdly, show me the shop’s surveillance records. I need to verify something.” Loraine couldn’t bear it anymore and screamed, “Who do you think you are? A braggart like you actually dares to order our manager around with just a bank card?! You must be a pathetic wench desperate to marry Mr. Fulcher!” After all, the shop manager was more knowledgeable than her. Forget the black card, she knew that the shop was in trouble today when she saw the material of Diana’s clothes up close. In the whole of Richburgh or even the whole world, only those who didn’t want to live would dare to use this black card to deceive others! However, it didn’t change the fact that Diana’s request was really too difficult. Diana understood this and spoke up again. Her words shocked everyone. “I want to buy your shop for fifteen million dollars.” The purchase of the shop went smoothly. After all, everyone had to respect Julian. What’s more, Diana also had a hidden identity that came in handy at that very moment. She had successfully bought the shop with ease. She glanced at Loraine and asked the manager, “Aren’t you going to fire her?” Loraine remained defiant. “Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re rich? This is an abuse of personal power! If you dare to fire me so casually, I’ll go out and tell the world what kind of worthless woman Mrs. Fulcher is! Mr. Fulcher can’t be blamed for his infidelity!” This was a personal affair between Julian and herself. No matter what it was, an outsider had no right to say anything about their relationship! Diana’s eyes instantly turned cold. She stepped in front of the salesgirl, and then… She slapped the salesgirl and said coldly, “I can do whatever I want, precisely because I am rich. If you can’t accept it, you should become as rich as I am so you can find a rich man like me!” Loraine was shocked by the oppressive air that seemed to radiate from Diana. She no longer dared to retort. She turned around, covered her face, and glared at Diana one last time before leaving L. “That girl has an evil look on her face.” Nina felt a little uneasy. “She’s not going to hurt you, is she?” “She needs to be able to do so first.” Diana did not take Loraine seriously and continued instructing the manager. “Don’t forget about my second request.” That dress was taken away so suddenly, so Diana did not believe that it was a coincidence. Since she couldn’t be happy, Diana did not want that woman to be happy either. At the same time, Loraine, who was fired, took off her uniform and walked out of SK Mall. She looked at the business card with the name ‘Kayla Winnington’ in her hand and smiled sinisterly. - After giving an account of everything, Diana walked to the monitor as she intended to do the third thing she wanted—find out what that woman looked like. She could not be so passive all the time. She needed to learn more about the other party so as to avoid further so-called coincidences today from happening again. Nina was about to cry from how anxious she felt. She didn’t expect that Diana would be able to handle things so efficiently. When Nina went outside SK Mall, she recorded the face of Julian’s mistress very clearly. She was extremely shocked and quickly contacted Vans Stanley. Only then did she find out that the mistress was actually Diana’s adopted sister, Kayla! Kayla was Julian’s childhood friend and had disappeared for no apparent reason three years ago. She had returned to the country recently. Therefore, Nina deduced that Diana was most likely a substitute for Kayla. Nina was able to rise into a top paparazzo from a small paparazzo and was a top-notch presence in the entertainment industry. She was smart and she knew that Diana, who was in the first trimester of her pregnancy, might not be able to stand the revelation. Diana had been looking forward to having a baby for so long. Nina didn’t want her to lose everything in the end. Nina could only squat down and mumble, “Diana… I… I probably ate too much today and my stomach hurts…” Diana wasn’t fooled. She had known Nina for so long, and she had long understood Nina’s every move. The fact that Nina was pretending to have a stomach ache at this moment was more of a confirmation of what Nina had seen when she went to take pictures just now. Nina didn’t want Diana to find out. Diana continued asking the manager to turn on the surveillance records as she wanted to see who the woman with Julian was. She wanted to know how exactly many coincidences could happen even when she was just shopping.
