Chapter 43
Diana was a little surprised. She pondered Julian’s words and entertained the act of asking Oliver if he
worked in Channing Inc. Why was he unemployed?
However, after some thought, it dawned on her that they didn’t know each other very well. In fact, this
question was far too personal. She decided not to probe further. Instead, she checked the GPS and
chose a milk tea store nearby. “Let’s meet here.”
Although this place was much more chaotic than a coffee shop, Diana had to avoid beverages like coffee
for the sake of her baby.
An hour later, Oliver finally showed up.
“Sorry I’m late.” He pulled a chair out and sat down. “It was further than I thought.”
Diana looked up. “Where did you come from?”
“Westside.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? It’s on the other side of the city. I should’ve picked somewhere in the
middle,
“Diana said.
“It’s fine.” Oliver called for the waiter. He ordered a milk tea for Diana and a cold beverage for himself.

him.
Diana felt a pang of guilt. “I’m totally at fault here. I wasn’t sure when you’d arrive, and so I didn’t even
have the drinks ready.”
“It’s alright. If you really feel sorry, you can treat me to another meal,” Oliver said light–heartedly.
Diana felt something was amiss, but she had become much less perceptive ever since she got pregnant.
She couldn’t quite put a finger on what felt wrong.
She did, however, feel comfortable around Oliver. He had never once guilt–tripped her into anything.
More importantly, he would never be unreasonable like Julian.
Besides, when some people said they would treat you to a meal, it was the equivalent of “let’s get
together when we’re free“. In other words, they probably said it out of courtesy and wouldn’t actually
follow up with actions after parting ways.
Diana also knew that she and Oliver came from completely different backgrounds. Most likely, he was
being polite thanks to his well–mannered upbringing.
“Sure.” Diana nodded and agreed. She reached out for the information Oliver brought over.
Oliver drank two glasses of cold beverages before going to the bathroom. He then returned and sat
down.
Diana noticed that the sweat on his forehead was gone. Apart from that, there were also drops of water
on his white shirt. He probably washed his face and fixed himself up quickly.
“I feel much better now,” Oliver said.
Oliver rubbed his eyes before reaching for the document in front of him. His long fingers shone brightly.
Many of the young ladies in the milk tea store were already looking their way.
However, Oliver’s gaze was fixed on the document. He then faced Diana. “Let me walk you through this
man’s criminal record.”
He probably did a lot of homework. He even memorized details that weren’t included on the document.
“If this person really does try to exact revenge on you, it’d partially be my fault,” Oliver said.
“I shouldn’t have beaten him up so badly at the subway station the other day. People like him tend to be
vengeful. I personally don’t mind it, but I’m worried for your safety,” he added.
“You didn’t do anything wrong.” Diana didn’t think Oliver would feel this much guilt. That explained why
he’d come all this way to deliver the information to her. “If you hadn’t stepped in the other day, I would’ve
been doomed. I wouldn’t ever be able to forget the feeling of being taken advantage of. I’d probably
remain resentful for the rest of my life.”

wrong,” Diana added.
She then looked down and fell deep in thought. “However, this man certainly lives not too far away from
me. Don’t worry, I’ll be extra careful.”
“Okay. He’s the youngest son in the Pabian family. You should watch out when you’re leaving or
returning to your house,” Oliver said.
Anyone who lived in that area was either rich or noble. Diana didn’t think she would be unfortunate
enough. to get into trouble with someone like him even when she was the victim.
“If it weren’t for you, he definitely wouldn’t be imprisoned. I’m sure they’d just lecture him and then let him
off the hook.” Diana looked at the pictures of victims in the folder. The gory images nearly made her
puke. These were all very serious crimes of violence, but he’d always get released after three or four
days…”
He was only imprisoned for seven days because of what he did to her. It was no surprise that Oliver felt
Luke Pabian would seek revenge after he was released from prison.
Diana felt even more grateful toward Oliver now. “This won’t do. I have to treat you to another meal.”
Otherwise, he would surely miss dinner if he returned home from this place.
