Chapter 51
Diana’s long fringe blocked off the cynical gleam in her eyes. “Don’t worry. I won’t hurt your darling, and I
won’t see her either.”
‘Once I get the money, I’ll take the baby away from this place of misery for good,‘ Diana thought.
What was the point of being humiliated time and time again?
Julian swallowed past his constricted throat as he stared at her retreating figure. He felt as if his heart
was gripped tightly by an invisible hand. Even he did not realize that his face had gone ashen, and that
his breath was shaky. “Diana! Where are you going?”
Diana didn’t respond to him, and she didn’t turn back.
She simply walked forward silently, until she was through the main entrance of the mansion.
At that moment, Julian dared not chase after her.
“Sir.” Noel noticed something wrong with Julian’s expression and tried to divert his attention. “We
received a package in Madam’s name. Do you wish to take a look?”

nothing happens to her.”
Noel nodded and caught up with him.
Julian opened the package and saw the pair of earrings.
He glanced at the sender’s name. Kate Renforth.
It seemed the lesson he taught her previously was not enough. That woman was still repeatedly getting
involved between him and Diana.
Anger flashed past the depths of Julian’s eyes. He immediately gave James a call.
“Are the Winningtons no longer interested in the West Union project?”
James was in bed with another woman, who he quickly pushed away. A mix of panic and reverence
could be heard in his voice as he sputtered, “President Fulcher, we’ve been following up closely on the
project. Did we do something wrong to upset you in any way?”
“You know very well what your family has done.” Nonetheless, Julian’s succinct reply was intimidating.
Even through the phone, it was effective in scaring James so much that he felt weak in the knees. It was
only after the call ended that he managed to calm down and breathe normally once again. He glared
hard at the woman next to him. “Has Julian been fighting with Kayla recently?”
“No,” Loraine, the woman, replied. “Kayla told me that Julian treats her very well, and was even willing to
get a divorce for her sake.”
A cheerful glint flashed past her eyes as she went on, “James, when our daughter Kayla officially
becomes. Mrs. Fulcher, will you make me your official wife too? I don’t want to stay in the kitchen and
wait on that old hag anymore…”
“Shut up!” James‘ mind was in a mess and he pushed her away, annoyed. “Think carefully. Did anyone
visit our house recently?”
“Diana?” Loraine arched her brows as she pondered. “She visited recently, and even had a meal with
Kate.”
Since when did the mother–daughter pair become so close?!

This would not do!
Feeling slightly guilty, James jumped on his feet, quickly put on his clothes, and rushed back to the
Winnington residence. He kicked Kate’s door open and yelled, “Why did you have a meal with Diana?
Aren’t you even worried about upsetting Kayla?”
Kate was rather surprised by James‘ response.
“Diana’s our daughter, too.” Just now, Kate even cruelly rushed Diana into a divorce. Kate’s fingers were
still trembling from their conversation just now. “What’s more, Kayla isn’t as petty as you think she is. So
what if I shared a meal with Diana?”
“Kayla’s not petty, but I feel sorry for her since she can’t be with Julian yet!”
Guilt surged through James’s heart as he saw the questioning look in Kate’s eyes. He lifted his hand to
wipe the sweat from his brows as he toned down a little.
“It’s not that you don’t know that things only look good on the outside for our family, and we’re all spent
on the inside. We’re no longer in the glory days of the past, and we’re solely dependent on the little bit of
money we’re earning from the project with the Fulchers. Why do you think Julian’s being so helpful to us?
Isn’t it all because of Kayla? In choosing between our two daughters, you can’t be foolish!”
