Chapter 293
The comment James made thoroughly infuriated Diana.
“You knew? About all of it?”
Diana never imagined that her father knew about all the suffering she endured as a child. But here he was,
basically telling her he knew but had never done anything to make up for it or cherish her!
James shifted uncomfortably.
He hadn’t meant to blurt all those things out.
When he abandoned Diana, he had indeed kept tabs on her for a little while. Later, he saw that the child was
particularly vicious and could survive by fighting dogs for food, so he stopped caring. He hadn’t expected to
let her know about this.
Unpleasant memories from the past started floating into Diana’s mind, including the cold treatment and disdain she
had received while she was living with the Winningtons.
Kate’s defense of Kayla and James’s favoritism were all thorns that continued to stab right into her heart. Now, her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtheart was as cold as an ice sculpture that had gone through multiple winters.
Her eyes also grew colder, to the point it was indifferent and somewhat inhumane.
The chill radiating from her eyes caused James to tremble slightly.
“You disrespectful child!” James couldn’t help but shout.
It seemed he could dispel some of the fear in his heart when he reprimanded Diana.
Finally, they weren’t pretending to be caring parents anymore. Diana smiled lazily when James shed his mask and
showed his true self.
This was the way things should be.
It was only normal for the Winningtons to show their cold, disgusting side to her. It was natural to the point that any
expectations left toward them in her heart shattered instantly.
But that was fine.
She would make up twice as much for the love she didn’t receive from her family to the babies in her belly.
“Well, then. This disrespectful child of yours will no longer stay here in your way,” Diana said as she stood.
She gave off a dignified, regal air as she turned to leave. She walked like she was floating on clouds, calm and with
a touch of majestic that was hard to find in anyone.
Kate was secretly surprised when she saw how Diana carried herself, and was even more convinced that marrying
Julian had been a good thing since it turned a country girl who fought with dogs for food into the regal–looking
woman before her.
Diana didn’t cower before James, either.
When Diana noticed Kate’s attention on her and the fact that the latter was sizing her up, she focused on Kate. It
brought an indescribable sense of pressure on Kate, who couldn’t help but lower her head.
The Fulcher family….
Was great!
Kate vowed: she must get Kayla to marry into that family!
So, Kate spoke again, “Diana, your father was anxious just now. Whether or not you were being
disrespectful, you’re still our daughter. Just like Kayla, you’re both good children.”
She even played the emotional card and added, “Come and sit with us, okay? Listen to the benefits of marrying into
the Pabians. If you’re willing to divorce as soon as possible, we can also handle the marriage quickly. You don’t have
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto worry about your life after that.”
Kate made her words sound like they were filled with love and sincerity, but every word coming out of her mouth
only made Diana sicker.
“There’s no need for your concern,” Diana said, her stomach churning and her desire to throw up intensified.
Looking at her biological mother, the person she had been looking forward to so much to meeting back then, Diana
could only feel irony.
“I have my own ways to keep myself clothed and fed.”
“What ways could you possibly have?!” Kate exclaimed. She couldn’t help but get worked up every Diana rejected
their advances.
time
For some reason, Kate found it impossible to speak to Diana calmly, no matter how much she tried. She would
always end up shouting or screaming.
At this moment, her urge to slap Diana was more intense than usual. It felt like her heart would only feel better if
she did so.
“Everything you have now was given to you by the Fulchers! After you divorce, you’ll have nothing! How would you
feed and clothe yourself?!”
For outsiders who didn’t have any context of the situation, Kate’s words made it sound like she was truly concerned
about her daughter’s welfare after the divorce.
