Through the driver’s attitude, Diana sensed something was out of the norm. She tried to probe.
“We haven’t made plans on where to go, and we don’t know when we’re heading out or which hotel we’ll be staying
in…”
“That’s alright,” the driver said. “I’ll just wait right downstairs at your hotel. Anytime you need a car, just tell me. If
you don’t, I’ll just wait downstairs.”
He was definitely not allowing Diana out of his sight.
The alarm bells in Diana’s heart rang even louder, but she knew she couldn’t say no to him. She could only go into
the hotel and get some rest first before playing it by ear.
Jim didn’t expect Diana to not follow the driver back home. Thankfully, his subordinate was quick-witted enough to
not leave Diana alone outside.
He wouldn’t feel at ease leaving a pregnant lady all by herself.
Thinking about it, he told the driver to book a room right next to Diana’s hotel room. “After I’m done with this
experiment, I’ll head over. Make sure she stays safe when I’m not around. If you need help, seek my approval
anytime.”

Jim could sense something wrong in his voice. “You have something to say?”
He paused for a moment and said with rarely-seen patience, “Tell me.”
The driver said, “Professor, Ms. Winnington has a family. She’s pregnant, too…”
“If she wasn’t pregnant, I wouldn’t have invited her to Jacroaof.” Jim could sense that the driver was trying to dig
information from him, and his tone chilled. “I’ll find someone to replace you.”
In other words, the driver just lost the chance to drive Diana around. He had also just lost his job in the Hughes
household.
The driver wanted to contest Jim’s decision, but suppressed his anger at the thought of how ruthless Jim could get.
He could only get out of the car angrily and walk away all alone.
Meanwhile, Diana and Betty rested in their hotel room for an entire afternoon.
By the time they had their fill and walked out of the hotel, the streets were already lit up.
This hotel was located in a busy area of the city center. The moment they exited the elevator, they could sense the
bustling crowd around them.
They were right in the middle of the holiday season.
Diana held Betty’s hand, and walked to the end of the street. They paused for a moment when they saw the car
sent over by the Hughes family, but realized that there was no one in the car.
Diana heaved an inward sigh of relief. Perhaps she was being too tense.
The driver said that he would be at her beck and call anytime, but he couldn’t even wait for a short time.
How could he possibly be monitoring her, when there was an empty car parked there?
It must be the s she had been reading that filled her mind with conspiracy theories.
Diana was no longer anxious about not being able to contact Julian. She could very well bring Betty around the
place for a leisurely stroll.
She would go according to her original plan and visit the Hughes household before leaving Jacroaof.
She would also…
Seize the chance to ask about Nina in person.
After Diana had made up her mind, she picked Jim a gift while she was shopping. It was a simple document folder.
Jim was frequently engaged in experiments, so he would surely have a use for this. Giving him this didn’t seem too
elaborate or overly-flattering. It was a thoughtful gift, too.
When she visited the Hughes household and saw Jim, it would be easy to talk about Nina and the heartless thing

Betty saw Diana decide on a gift, and waited for her to make payment.
There were many people lining up to buy things, and they needed to join the line.
Betty stood at a side and waited. While doing that, she took a photo of Diana and sent it to Julian. She had been
sending Julian messages since they boarded the plane in the morning.
“Daddy, Mommy and I are boarding the plane.”
“Daddy, I’m rubbing Mommy’s shoulders.”
“Daddy, I’m massaging Mommy’s back.”
“Daddy, are you resting well? I kind of miss you. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of Mommy!”
The moment Julian clicked open his messaging app, he saw the strings of texts Betty sent him. He didn’t respond to
any of her messages.
Betty wondered what Daddy was doing. She was really beginning to miss him.
She hurriedly took a picture of Diana carrying some bags and lining up to make payment.
“Mommy’s buying a present for you! Reply to my messages the moment you see them!”
