Chapter 259

Chapter 259

Michael, who had left but then returned, had just cracked the door open when he heard these words. His forehead veins bulged with anger.

What was wrong with Diana?

The moment he left, she started talking nonsense.

Yes, just nonsense.

Diana was being forced.

Worried about losing clients, so she was just spouting nonsense.

That's all it was.

How could Diana not love him?

She clearly loved him to death, even willing to endure family punishment and get hurt for him.

She loved him, she must love him.

Michael shot a warning look at the others, "Don't tell anyone I was here."

With that, he turned and left.

Diana in the office knew nothing about this. After calming Vesper down, the two began discussing their collaboration.

Meanwhile, Veda returned home to find her whole family there.

Layla, who hadn't slept all night, had heavy dark circles under her swollen eyes.

Seeing her daughter return, Layla ran over and hugged her, "You scared me to death. Thank goodness you're back, thank goodness you're back."

The weight on her heart finally lifted.

More than anything, she felt relieved.

Veda couldn't stop crying, "What do I do? That bitch actually dared to harm me. I was sleeping at home, but that bitch got me. I just drank a glass of juice and then lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was at Diana's house. It was her, she sold me out."

By the end, she was sobbing uncontrollably.

Layla was stunned.

Chase was the first to react, looking extremely agitated, "Veda, what are you saying? Who harmed you?"

"It's all that bitch. She must hate us for handing her over to Mr. Nelson, so she came after me. Look at these marks on my body."

Veda kept pouring out her grievances, not noticing the expressions on Layla and Chase's faces.

Mother and son exchanged glances and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, they immediately adjusted their emotions.

Chase looked devastated, punching the wall, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer for nothing. I'll definitely deal with that bitch. Just wait, I'll get revenge for you."

"My poor daughter, that bitch is so cruel. No matter what, you're still sisters. How could she harm you like this?"

Mother and son worked in perfect harmony, crying their eyes out.

After crying for a while, Veda got straight to the point, "Mom, I'm going to report this to the police. I'm going to sue that bitch. She dared to hand me over to someone, so she needs to pay the price."

Thinking about what might have happened, Veda sobbed uncontrollably, hatred churning in her eyes.

But Layla's heart trembled.

Chase snapped back to reality and stopped her coldly, "No, you can't call the police. Are you crazy? If you report this now and the Sherman family finds out, you two will never have a chance to be together."

"Right, right, exactly. Think about it, if the Sherman family finds out, what will you do in the future?"

Mother and son persuaded her together, as if they were thinking entirely of Veda.

Veda thought for a moment, "Not calling the police is fine, but we can use this to threaten her for benefits. No matter what, I want shares in the studio, and I want company shares too."

Layla and Chase on the side felt their hearts racing.

"That's right. That bitch dared to harm you, so she needs to pay. Besides, now that you have Michael backing you up, you can ask for anything."

"Veda, you've suffered this time. I'll help you get justice too. You must be tired. Go back to your room and sleep first. We can discuss everything slowly."

They finally coaxed Veda back to her room.

Layla and Chase went into the study.

Of course, Finn was also dragged in. Learning that Veda had misunderstood, Finn didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She was too stupid.

How could she think Diana had harmed her?

He looked darkly at the mother and son before him, "What are you two trying to do? Truth can't be faked, and lies can't become truth. I advise you to tell the truth. After all, Veda didn't suffer any major harm. At least it won't reach an irreversible point."

Layla shook her head crying, "No, I know my daughter best. Veda seems carefree on the surface, but she's actually very petty. If she finds out about this, she'll hold a grudge and get revenge."

Chase nodded in agreement, "I think so too. We absolutely can't tell her. If we do, we're done for."

The three gathered together, thinking of ways to handle it, even planning to create fake share transfer documents to give Veda psychological balance.

But they didn't know that someone was eavesdropping outside the door.

And this person was none other than Veda.

She had noticed Layla and Chase's unnatural expressions in the living room and became suspicious, so she came to eavesdrop when no one was paying attention.

When she heard the voices coming from inside, she trembled with anger, grinding her teeth in hatred.

Although she knew her status in this family wasn't high, she never imagined she would be someone who could be casually abandoned.

So Diana had saved her.

The ones who sold her out were her own mother and brother.

She couldn't accept this result.

Veda didn't know how she walked back to her room. She went into the bathroom and kept washing her body with warm water. Looking at the mottled marks on her body, she felt even more hatred.

She had just checked online—she hadn't been violated, and these marks were pinched onto her.

So what if she didn't suffer a loss? It still happened.

They were so disappointing. How could they do this?

Veda trembled with anger, but suddenly thinking of something, a sinister smile curved her lips.

"Want to harm me? Then let's all go to hell together."

At the hospital.

After finishing her work, Diana came to the hospital to visit Orla.

Seeing Diana arrive, Orla was clearly very pleased, but thinking of something, her eyes dimmed.

Diana slowly approached, "Grandma, what really happened back then? Even now, you still don't want to say?"

Now that the Scott family had fallen apart, finding out the truth and getting evidence was only a matter of time.

What she hoped for more was that Orla would tell the truth.

Tears slid down Orla's face, "Child, it's been so many years. Do you really have to investigate? I know the family has done many things to wrong you over the years, but I'll make it up to you. I plan to give you all my assets. Isn't that enough?"

"That's your real father, your real brother and sister. Blood is thicker than water."

By the end, the sorrow in her tone was heartbreaking to hear.

But Diana's heart grew colder, "So I should give up investigating the truth for the sake of these family members who don't care about me at all?"
