Chapter 770

Diana couldn’t be more heartbroken than she was right now.

She couldn’t care less about being considerate for Simon as she yelled with all her might on the phone, “Julian Fulcher! What right do you have to be magnanimous on my daughter’s behalf and conclude that Doreen didn’t do it on purpose?!”

Noel put Diana on loudspeaker, and her voice rang in Julian’s ears without any warning.

He had felt remorse over giving Doreen Betty’s favorite toy and causing a conflict between both children.

He also felt remorse over not watching over Doreen and giving her the opportunity to hurt Betty.

However, had never raised children and he was inexperienced.

Ironically, Diana’s yell washed away all remorse he felt.

“You’re the one who left her all alone in this villa,” Julian replied coldly.

In other words, he meant that Diana deserved what happened to Betty.

Diana was so furious, her face flushed red.

Yet, the guilt she felt overpowered the anger in her.

‘You’re right.” Her tone suddenly softened. “Tell Betty that I’ll go and bring her back right away.”

She would never make the same mistake ever again.

She had no reason to believe Julian would treat Betty well, that Simon’s brother of the same father but different mother would treat Betty as family and take care of her. Yet she believed so, and that was the most ridiculous thing she had ever done.

This man was wicked through and through!

Violence was carved on his bones!

By the time Diana rushed to the villa in huff, Kiki had already left with Doreen.

Betty’s heart-wrenching cries resounded in the huge villa.

Diana clenched her fists. She wished she could slap herself, as if doing so would lessen the guilt she felt toward her daughter.

But she remained calm and rational.

Being so emotional would only negatively affect children.

She had to admit her mistake, and apologize to Betty for leaving her here all by herself.

She also had to coax Betty and make the girl happy once more. Before that, she had to compose herself first.

As such, by the time she entered the living room, the anxiety etched on her face had given away to calmness and composure.

However, her feigned composure cracked upon the sight of her daughter.

There was a huge gash on Betty’s little face.

The blood wasn’t even properly cleaned off, and it provided a stark contrast against Betty’s fair skin.

Betty’s tears were the final straw that broke the camel’s back. Diana said with a trembling voice, “Where’s Doreen?”

Where was the girl who hurt her daughter?!

“She left.” Julian heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Diana finally arrive.

It was too difficult taking care of children.

Especially crying children.

He had broken into a cold sweat in just a short period of time.

Diana paid no attention to Julian’s current state, as her mind was completely occupied by Betty. Doreen had hurt Betty so badly, yet her mother did not wait for her to come before apologizing to Betty and left just like that.

And now, she couldn’t possibly bug Julian to bring them back.

She could only keep that girl’s name in mind.

Richburgh wasn’t that big, so there would surely be a chance for them to meet again.

Diana wasn’t anxious to seek revenge immediately.

She took a deep breath, and hugged Betty tight. She patted her daughter’s back and said, “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Mommy’s here.”

Betty’s throat was hoarse from all the crying.

Diana contemplated crying along with Betty to ease the ache in her heart.

Then she looked furiously at Julian and snarled, “It’s been tough on you, Brother.”
