Chapter 254

Then something bizarre happened.

The young girl started accusing Diana.

If you didn't know better, you'd think Diana had stolen her boyfriend.

But Diana acted like a caring older sister, patiently comforting her and talking about the consequences of being obsessed with love.

Everyone was shocked.

The girl went from angry at first to reflecting on herself by the end.

Just when everyone thought it would be a happy ending, Diana suddenly changed tactics, pulling out a design sketch and a business card.

"Look at this. I'm a famous jewelry designer. I just won first place in a jewelry competition. I drew this a few years ago—it's perfect for young women, but I never found the right person for it. I think it's meant for you. Are you interested?"

Honestly, as a jewelry designer, Diana was frustrated that no one appreciated her work.

The people who could afford expensive jewelry were all wealthy ladies, and as for those rich young heiresses, some of them just didn't know how to appreciate it.

The design had been sitting around for years without selling, which was really annoying.

Now that she'd finally found the right person, Diana couldn't let this chance slip away.

Diana explained the design in detail.

Now not just the girl, but everyone else was shocked too.

"Mr. Johnson, this woman you found is something else. Even at a time like this, she's still thinking about making a sale."

"With sales skills like that, it would be wrong if she didn't succeed. No wonder she built her studio to its current size in just a few years without family support, and now she's even started a factory. Amazing."

"My mom told me to find a wife like this, but I didn't take it seriously at the time. Now I see that the older generation really knows what they're talking about."

Diana wasn't just beautiful—most importantly, she was capable.

Wealthy ladies relied on their family background and connections.

But managing a company alone could be exhausting for a man. Having a woman who could help at critical moments would be ideal.

Now they were really seeing what it meant to have both beauty and ability.

So shocking.

When Diana first walked in, they thought she was just decoration. So what if she had some reputation? After all, there was Nora, a rich young lady—maybe Diana had just developed her business using Nora's status.

Now they realized how shallow they'd been.

From start to finish, Diana never treated them as important figures, just as customers she could sell to.

Facing a rival in love, Diana showed no hostility. Instead, she generously thought of the other person and helped remove the girl's obsession with love.

If nothing else, just this kindness and sales ability alone earned their respect.

Hearing their praise, Michael looked proud, acting like "my wife is just that excellent."

He picked up his wine glass and swirled it gently, the corner of his mouth turning up, "Of course. The first time we met, she amazed me."

"My wife can design jewelry and pull off schemes. Have you forgotten about the Rhiannon incident? She stays calm no matter what, and when she runs into trouble, her first thought is to solve it. She's never afraid of anything."

Since learning about Diana's story, he'd thought countless times about what would happen if this had happened to someone else.

Maybe they'd be spoiled and useless, maybe they'd become angry but helpless. But not Diana. From childhood, she pretended to be obedient at home while secretly building her abilities, then finally made a stunning debut.

Now she even had her own methods and was planning to investigate what happened back then.

Diana was like a book—the more you read, the more addicted you became, unable to stop.

You never knew what the next page would reveal.

Michael looked over appreciatively, his gaze intense.

The others started teasing.

"I envy you. But are you two sure you can get married? If not, don't blame me for making my move."

"Count me in. My mom said to find a wife like this. If the company runs into problems in the future, she can actively help. Forget about those rich young ladies—they're the ones their families gave up on. If something really goes wrong, they'll only look out for themselves."

What is a wealthy family marriage? It means sharing prosperity but not hardship.

When times are good, they'll flatter you and deepen cooperation, but if you really hit rock bottom, they'll pull out in time.

In wealthy family marriages, expecting to share hardships is absolutely impossible.

Michael narrowed his eyes, looking at them warningly, "Don't try anything. Diana is a rose with thorns. Even if you reach out, you'll just end up covered in blood. Try it if you don't believe me."

Suddenly someone spoke with interest, "Just like Beck."

Mentioning the Wright family, everyone burst out laughing.

After all, they knew Beck and Rhiannon's fate very well.

Beck now stayed at home, and besides handling company business, he was basically uninterested in everything else.

Someone who used to love eating and drinking with friends had now settled down to handle company affairs.

Rhiannon needn't even be mentioned—she was sent abroad and couldn't return for several years.

And Ronan was angry but didn't dare speak up. He'd tried to make moves secretly several times but was always stopped.

Michael looked proud, lifting his chin high, "So don't think about stealing her away. You can't."

Diana was a rose with thorns—she wouldn't be easily stolen away.

A few minutes later, Diana, who had been talking herself hoarse, finally sold the design. Looking at the transfer amount, her eyes widened.

"What's going on? Why is there so much extra money?"

The design was from several years ago, and fashion trends had changed, so Diana had only asked for a few million dollars.

She didn't expect the girl to give so much more.

The young girl proudly turned her face away and huffed, "I'm worth a lot. I don't want a design that only costs a few million dollars. I'll come to your company tomorrow to discuss the details."

With that, she turned and left.

Diana clutched her chest and threw herself into Michael's arms, "Michael, are all the people in your circle this rich?"

She thought a few million dollars was already sky-high, but she didn't expect so much more. Her heart was about to jump out.

Seeing Diana like this, Michael smiled and said, "Maybe she's thanking you."
