Chapter 501

“You already know the answer to that. Why bother asking?”

That sentence easily summed up all the bitterness in Diana’s heart.

“At first, I planned to die with Kayla today. That’s why I bought the knife. I even slashed her face. I only needed to exert a little more force, and I could’ve cut a major artery on her neck…”

Diana said it without any hint of remorse or regret. Rather, her only regret was that she had never done such a brutal thing before, and that she had been too slow to plunge the knife into Kayla’s neck.

“Diana…” Nina was choked up, and her heart ached fiercely. “You should’ve contacted me as soon as possible.”

Diana shouldn’t have had to be alone in such a situation.

“I can handle myself,” Diana said as she pulled Nina away from the doorway. “Even if you were with me, I wouldn’t have asked you to do anything. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

In fact, if Nina had been there, Diana would be in a tougher situation and even more restricted. She was afraid Kayla and Julian would retaliate against Nina and hurt her friend.

But if Diana faced them alone, she was ready to take responsibility for whatever that would follow.

“But…” Nina could understand Diana’s worries. “I want to do something too. H They had promised they would raise the babies together after they were born. Even though the babies were no longer around, their deep friendship remained unchanged.

No matter how formidable Julian was in Richburgh, Nina had no plans of backing down.

She gripped Diana’s hand tightly and said, “Let’s go downstairs together.”

Thinking she hadn’t managed to convince Nina to reign in her anger, Diana took a few steps back into the room. “I’m not going.”

“No! We have to explain things clearly to Julian,” Nina insisted. “When you were pregnant before, he was kind to you. He was even looking forward to the birth of the babies. Have you forgotten that?”

Perhaps he had valued the children as well, but there might have been some misunderstanding.

Perhaps that’s why he was favoring Kayla so much these days.

Besides, Nina recalled how Diana had spoken about Julian’s actions during her pregnancy. Diana had been really happy back then.

As her friend, Nina wanted Diana to be happy.

Seeing the unconvinced look on Diana’s face, Nina continued to persuade her. “He said he liked you, and that he was also looking forward to the birth of the babies, right? Have you forgotten about that?”

“No, I haven’t.”

It was precisely because she hadn’t forgotten this, that the excruciating pain haunting her now made her feel like dying every day.

Diana took a deep breath, and tried not to immerse herself in the memories of the bygone past.

“But when something happened to the babies in my belly, he made his choice.”

Julian hadn’t held Kayla responsible for drugging her.

That gave Kayla the confidence to dig up the grave.

Nina didn’t quite believe it. “He’s a father. I doubt he can be so calm and favor Kayla after hearing she dug up his children’s grave!”

Despite everything, Nina insisted on taking Diana downstairs to get an explanation from Julian.

“It’s really not necessary,” Diana said.

To Julian, the babies were in the past.

And Diana was even more so in the past.

During her pregnancy, she had always said that they only needed to face the future and stop looking back to the past.

Now, Julian had achieved that.

He had gained himself a new fiancee, and was about to create a new family.

As for Diana… She had become the one who stayed in the past.

The more she thought about it, the more helpless she felt.

“They should be getting married soon, after all.”

Nina’s eyes widened in shock, looking as though they would pop out of their sockets at any time.

“What?!”

Julian had only just divorced Diana, and now, he was going to marry Kayla?!

“Where did you hear this from?” Nina demanded.

“Today, downstairs. Julian himself admitted with his own mouth that Kayla was his fiancee.”
