1/4
Steven looked at Diana, who seemed surprised, and said in a cold voice, "Diana, are you shocked? Who were you
expecting to see standing here? Alexander?"
Diana saw the displeasure on his face and nodded. "Yes, |
was kind of hoping it would be him. He's gentle, kind, and considerate. Of course, I'd prefer it if he were the one
standing here."

words."

"Diana, don't you realize that Alexander is in the middle of a power struggle within the Powell family? If he gets
caught up in rumors, things will only get tougher for him."

much thought.

For sreason, he found her to be especially endearing in this

"Diana," he murmured, tilting his head slightly, his eyes fixed on her face as he gently called her name.

felt like iron Chapter 594 Negotiating Cooperation bars, holding her tightly in place.

Tears began to roll down her cheeks.

need to torment her.
