Chapter 171 Fury

âIs there even one decent person in the Marsh family? Just get lost!â
Dianaâs fury reached a boiling point.
Gale, equally furious, turned on his heel and stormed toward the door.
But as he reached it, he heard the sound of Dianaâs fragile sobs behind him. His fists clenched involuntarily.
Gale glanced back and saw her cradling her designs, tears streaming down her face. Guilt gnawed at him.
He thought, âNo matter how angry I am, she is still my sister. But why canât she see reason?â
âDiana, Queenie is more talented than you. You should give her the chance,â Gale said, trying to sound authoritative.
Diana whipped around, her eyes blazing with resentment. âGale, youâre utterly shameless! What does her talent have to do with me? Who do you think you are, demanding that I step aside for her?
âIf youâre so confident in her, why donât you help her make a name for herself? You have no right to ask me to give up my dreams! Iâve severed ties with the Marsh family, and to me,

youâre just a stranger. So why should I let her have my opportunity?â

Gale faltered, scrambling for a response. âBut this whole mess. started because of you! If you hadnât called the copsâ¦â
Diana cut him off. âIf I hadnât reported them, Iâd just be waiting for them to humiliate me or worse!
âGale, how could you be so cruel? This situation didnât happen because of me. Itâs you! Why should I be the one to suffer?
âWhat gives you the right to lecture me?
âYour mother may have given birth to me, but someone else raised me. Iâve paid back every ounce of kindness I owed your family. I donât owe you anything!
âYouâre just as shameless as your father, shifting blame onto others while you sit back and enjoy a clean conscience.
âYouâre despicable. Just get out!â Dianaâs voice broke as she raged, her disheveled hair falling over her face, obscuring her
vision.
âDiana, youâ¦â Galeâs voice trailed off as he realized that he was in the wrong.
âBut youâre fine, right? What do you care?â
Diana let out a cold laugh but didnât respond.

âIâll return that line to him in a few days,â she thought bitterly, bending down to gather the scattered designs.
Gale furrowed his brow, curiosity creeping in. âDiana, you really are a designer? I thought you grew up in the countryside.â
âYeah, I did grow up in the countryside. Thatâs why you all look down on me, isnât it? I was abandoned at birth, left to fend for myself as a baby. How is that my fault? It has nothing to do with your family. So could you just leave already?â
Galeâs heart sank as he saw the calmness return to her eyes. He wanted to explain that wasnât what he meant, but the words stuck in his throat. So, he turned and walked out, feeling the weight of his actions.
Yet, the image of Diana mourning over her designs lingered in Galeâs mind, and he couldnât shake the feeling that he had gone too far.
âNo, wait! Itâs Diana whoâs being unreasonable. Iâm not in the wrong here,â he reassured himself.
After Gale left, Diana picked up the remaining sketches, many of which were beyond repair.
Wiping her eyes, she refused to let despair take hold of her. She reminded herself that time was on her side.
âOne day, I will clean up those shameless people!â
Taking a seat at her desk, she took a deep breath, grabbing a wet

wipe to dab at her eyes.

They felt better, but Diana still didnât understand why she was
so upset.
Tears continued to flow, unbidden.
