Chapter 573

“Grandma!”

Diana wanted to touch Madam Fulcher to see what was wrong, but then she realized that she didn’t even have the strength to turn her head.

“S-Sir…”

She strained to look at the chauffeur, only to see a sinister look and a sly smile on his face. Her heart beat wildly in her chest, but at this point, no amount of vigilance would help her escape her current situation.

She could only grip Madam Fulcher’s hand tightly in the last second before losing consciousness.

“We can’t pry this woman’s hand apart!’

In her dazed state, Diana could hear someone shouting loudly in her ear. There was also another trying to pry her hand away repeatedly, but she held onto Madam Fulcher without budging an inch.

She absolutely couldn’t let go!

Not only that, but she also needed to muster all her strength and effort to open her eyes as quickly as possible.

It wasn’t until two hours later that she regained some of her consciousness.

“Grandma…” The first words Diana uttered upon waking up were to call out to the older woman.

At this moment, Madam Fulcher had also woken up. Although she was still groggy, she instantly understood their situation.

“D-Diana…” She held onto Diana’s hand. “The exhibition… You invited me to the exhibition. Why did we end up here?”

Diana was surprised. “Did you receive a message saying that I invited you?”

Madam Fulcher nodded. “The message you received, was it me voluntarily offering to accompany you?”

Diana nodded. “Yes…”

It was clear someone was setting them up.

‘ I wasn’t cautious enough,” Diana apologized, “and I dragged you down with me.”

Back then, after they had gotten into the car and realized the route was strange and that there was no signal on their phones, they should’ve gotten out or just stayed at the old mansion instead…

’Don’t blame yourself,” Madam Fulcher said kindly, clearly seeing through Diana’s thoughts. “That chauffeur was a familiar face. If I’m not mistaken, he worked at the villa for over two months. It’s understandable that you didn’t have your guard up around familiar surroundings and people.”

But Diana didn’t think the same way.

“This isn’t the first time it happened. That’s how Mr. Carter had the chance to drug me. I never expected the same method would be used again!”

Was Kayla also behind this?

But Diana wasn’t pregnant now, so she posed no threat to Kayla. The only possibility that gave Kayla a reason to do this might be the photo she posted on her social media that day…

And yet, Julian doted on Kayla so much. Would a single photo be enough for her to take such a huge risk to kidnap both Diana and Madam Fulcher?

While she was thinking about this, that sinister-faced man appeared in front of them again.

“She’s awake!’ Diana heard him shout.

Diana looked up sharply and hissed, ‘Who are you talking to?!”

This sinister-faced man’s name was Hans Lemmington. He ignored Diana and continued speaking to someone on the phone, saying, “She’s awake.

Should we let her take the call?”

The person on the other end said something, and soon, the phone was put to Diana’s ear.

“Diana.”

It was Julian’s voice!

Was he here to rescue her?

Diana immediately lit up, and she exchanged an excited glance with Madam Fulcher. The two didn’t even bother speaking and simply listened to Julian as he said, “Diana, I’m going to marry Kayla. Don’t disturb us anymore in the future.”

Diana wasn’t surprised about their marriage, but getting married at this critical juncture was undeniably baffling.

‘I don’t believe it!’

As soon as she said that, Diana heard Julian let out a relieved breath.

She quickly understood. There must be something more to it than this!

Still, she didn’t have time to think about why she felt so relieved at his reaction. She seized every second she had to talk with him and yelled,” Julian! Grandma’s with me right now! We’ve been tricked and brought to some unknown place!”

“Grandma’s with you?!”

This was completely out of Julian’s expectations.
