Chapter 22 A Battle Ahead
Olivia leaned against Diana’s shoulder, enjoying the barbecue and browsing through her phone.
“It seems that someone is fanning the flames?” Olivia noticed
some paid trolls were deliberately misleading people to
provoke criticism against Diana.
Thankfully, Diana could handle it.
Being the successor trained by Leopold, she was proficient in
everything.
However, it was a shame that Diana was a hopeless romantic
and sometimes acted ridiculously.
Reflecting on how Diana accommodated Steven, Olivial
sighed.
She earnestly patted Diana on the shoulder and advised, “Diana, please get over Steven this time. If you keep buttering him up, we won’t be friends anymore.
“You are so young. You should keep your options open. There Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
are plenty of men out there.

“Think about it, is it worth giving up the entire world for
someone like Steven?”
Diana couldn’t help but nod at her opinion.
Wearing a bright smile, she replied, “I don’t want that jerk anymore. Just let Queenie have him. They’re a perfect match.”
With those words, Diana drank beer.
She took a sip of beer and then took a bite of the food, feeling very satisfied and relaxed.
The following day, Diana woke up in Olivia’s bed.
She clumsily flipped over and, fortunately, ended up rolling under the bed.
“Ouch!” Diana woke up in pain.
Olivia suddenly opened her eyes and found Diana with one leg on the bed and the rest of her body hanging off, her hair disheveled.
Her funny look amused Olivia.
She burst into laughter as she sat up quickly.
Embarrassed, Diana curled her lips and wondered what was

wrong with her.
Luckily, it was just Olivia who saw her mess.
Slowly getting up and looking at the sunlight streaming through the window, Diana felt a surge of enthusiasm and vitality.
A new day had arrived, and she was determined to give her all in the upcoming battle tonight.
In this life, she would be domineering and carefree!
After having breakfast, Diana messaged Leopold: [Grandpa, there’s a party at the Farley family tonight, and I’m planning to beat someone up. It might raise your blood pressure if you see it, so please don’t come.]
Leopold replied: [You’ve already cured my sickness, so there’s no need to worry. I want to be there to watch it.]
Diana read the message and shook her head, realizing that Leopold simply enjoyed joining in on the excitement. She shouldn’t have sent him the message in the first place.
Just as she was pondering this, Leopold sent another
message: [If you didn’t want me to attend, why did you message me? Are you trying to pique my curiosity? You did it intentionally.]

Only then did Diana realize her mistake.
Ignoring Leopold’s message, she went shopping with Olivia and treated herself to a skincare session at a beauty salon. Returning to Breeze Villa, she adorned herself with the luxurious diamond jewelry Leopold had prepared for her,
which she had never worn before.
As she looked at herself in the mirror, Diana saw a stunning reflection, reminiscent of her appearance from a few years
ago.
She felt like an angel, gentle and sweet, just like every girl
should be.
For a moment, Diana got lost in her memories. Before she was about to return to her biological parents, Leopold had said, “Sweetie, I truly care about you. I have one request, though. Don’t reveal your true identity to your parents. If anything goes wrong, come back to me anytime. You will always be my dearest granddaughter.”
Back then, Diana foolishly believed that she would be loved by her biological parents. With Leopold turned away, she firmly followed Paula back to the Marsh family.
At that time, Leopold knew the pain she would experience, but Diana was too naive to understand anything.
