Chapter 1129

Diana still needed to go meet Mrs. Jarvis—Sue Chimmery.

Julian, of course, was wholly unwilling.

"No way."

Earlier, Diana had wanted to see Cecilia alone. When she came out, she ended up looking like this. Julian couldn't

bear the thought of Diana meeting Sue.

"Relax," Diana reassured him, aware of his concerns. She urged Julian in the direction of the parked car. "I won't

hurt myself again. I'm not so foolish as to indulge in self-torture."

In reality, she just wanted to make amends for her guilt while negotiating with Cecilia. Her goal had been achieved.

Continuing to harm herself would only make the children notice, and she couldn't do that to them.

"Give me some time with Sue," Diana persuaded Julian once more. "I don't want to see you at Cecilia's beck and call

anymore."

She tugged at a corner of his clothes, and continued, "Let's resolve everything that needs to be resolved today,

alright?"

Julian's face remained tense. He still didn't want to relent. At this point, he no longer believed Diana's words.

But then, she hugged him. "Julian, trust me this once, okay?"

She nestled against his chest, listening to the rhythmic beating of his strong heart. She continued softly, "If you

don't let me deal with what I’ve caused in the first place, I’ll carry this burden forever."

Her words showed that she still blamed herself.

Julian understood Diana. He finally gave in, and said, "You're perfect, except that you're too stubborn."

She chuckled.

Julian continued, "But with me around, you could have entrusted everything to me."

Yet, she insisted on taking the blame upon herself.

Hearing him say this, Diana knew Julian had relented. He was afraid that if he didn't agree, she would hurt herself

again.

"Thank you," she tiptoed, and gently kissed him on the cheek. Then she turned to leave, intending to find Sue.

Just as Diana turned around, Julian suddenly pulled her back. With his long limbs, his reach was far. Although he was

still sitting in the car, she was almost pulled onto his lap.

He locked his deep, mesmerizing eyes onto her bright ones, and growled, "If you come out with new injuries, I won't

spare the Jarvises!"

It wasn't like he couldn't see that the injuries on her face weren't self-inflicted. However, they were something Diana

had willingly endured.

He understood that, and it kept him from making Cecilia pay. If he had done anything, Diana would have felt even

more guilty.

At the same time, he couldn't bear to see Diana hurt again.

Fortunately, she agreed.

Diana nodded gently. "Don't worry, I’ll make sure to settle everything without any harm."

The palm print on her face would also become her weapon in this negotiation.

When Sue saw Diana, she froze for a moment. "The injuries on your face..."

"Ms. Jarvis did it," Diana replied.

Sue's expression changed slightly, and there seemed to be some disbelief in her eyes. In an instant, however, she

returned to her usual self—though her tone was laced with politeness.

"Ms. Winnington, please have a seat."

Diana hadn't guessed wrong. The Jarvis family valued their reputation very highly. They were quite different from

the Winningtons.

The Winningtons were driven by profit, lacked a humane touch, and were capable of doing heinous things like

abandoning their own daughter in an amusement park. Diana's biological mother, Kate, also turned a blind eye to

everything.

The Jarvises were different. They couldn't bear it, even if their own daughter had harmed someone else. They were

a family that placed great importance on etiquette.

Diana had sensed this from the very first time she saw Sue and the rest of the Jarvises pick up Cecilia from her

studio.

With a good start to the negotiation, Diana smiled and got straight to the point.

"I came here today to request the Jarvis family to dissolve the engagement between Ms. Jarvis and Julian."
