CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

DIANA

"Dylan , come out! We need to talk!" I barked. I saw his car outside, and I knew that he was inside.

The butler by my side tried to grab my hand, but I shoved him aside coldly. There was no way I was leaving without speaking to Dylan.

My blood was boiling, and I didn't want to think too much about why I was doing so much to help Chris.

Thinking about it would just be too painful, it was better for me to just act.

"Miss Diana, you are causing a scene here. Everyone else has already gone to bed and you...."

I turned and glared sharply at the butler by my side. He cowered his head, and I sneered.

This man, in the end, he worked for this family, and so the things he did in the past did not shock me one bit.

It wasn't his fault, and I wasn't going to waste my time hating him.

"Don't forget that I am still the mistress of this house, just because my husband died , do you think that I am no longer his wife? I am his widow, and I still have a place here! As for you.....you are just a butler....who do you think you're speaking to? "

My voice carried disdain as I said this, and I saw the man lower his head in shame, but I didn't care about his feelings

I was here to speak to Dylan, and no one was going to stop me.

"I thought you didn't want to admit that you were married to my son. Why did you change your mind? Did you come back here realising that you cannot afford the live that you were provided with when he was alive? Did you really come here thinking that I'd accept you back? I am not mu son, and I don't accept any stray cat and dog!"

Hearing that malicious voice that had haunted me for the past five years made me shiver, but I tired my best to remain strong.

I was not going to break down in front of this witch, Kate!

Raising my head, I turned to see my mother in law who had tormented me for so long coming down the stairs.

She had a cold look on his face, and I could see that she hated me just as much as she hated me when she first set her eyes on me five years ago.

Well, it was a good thing that I shared the same sentiments.

"What are you doing in my house?" She demanded to know coldly.

"Do you think I want to step a foot into this place? I am here to see Dylan. Tell him to stop hiding behind his mother and come face me," I made my own demands.

I had learned that cowering and giving in to these people was not going to stop them. They would just stomp on you even more .

Even though I was too weak to stand up to James when he was alive, it didn't mean I had to let his mother and brother continue the cycle.

"My son doesn't want to see you. After you ruined my first son, did you really think I'd let you do the same to my second son? You got your boyfriend to beat him up and yet you had the guts to show your face here? Did you really think I'd just let you go?" She asked me .

"Well, I don't want to see his disgusting face either. You can just pass my message on to him. You know damn well what Dylan tried to do to me. But then, you were a failure in raising your sons, and so I expect nothing less than you protecting the failures that you created" I mocked Kate.

"How dare you?" Kate barked at me, and her eyes were almost popping out of their sockets , but I didn't care .

I wasn't scared of her, not anymore.

"Tell Dylan that he has to sell the land to Chris. Otherwise, I will make sure that he regrets it! "I threatened..

Kate raised an eyebrow and laughed at me sarcastically when I said this.

"Chris is the name of your new boyfriend? The one that beat up my son? I have to commend you, Diana, you have only been here for a few days, and yet you already have your claws on some unsuspecting person. My son....after all the things he did for you....this is what he gets!" Kate accused me .

Anger threatened to burst out in my heart when she said this.

The only thing James did was abuse me and give me endless drama.

And now, she was trying to act like I was some shameless whore betraying her son!

Taking a deep breath, I tried not to let it affect me.

I already knew that this family was utterly shameless.

"I don't have to explain anything concerning Chris to you. Just tell your son that he had better give that land to Chris, or else, you all won't be liking the consequences.

Of course, Chris is only going to buy it at the fair market price!" I said, a smirk on my face.

"And how exactly are you going to do this? How do you plan to make my son pay?" She taunted me.

"Oh, I am sure that you don't want to find out. How would you like to lose the estate you stole from your son's wife after his death? I think....I might just contact lawyer Kurt and fight for the things that James had left to me in his will!"
