Chapter 2239
Diana snorted with undisguised contempt.
“Come on, you’ve known me long enough to know that I want to be the center of
attention, the only one in the spotlight. If there’s something in my way, I’ll just bulldoze
right over it. And if you piss me off, you’ll end up the same way. So do yourself a favor and
toe the line.”
Their gazes clashed in the mirror.
Diana’s hand playfully slapped the man’s cheek. Rather than provoking anger, he seemed
to thrive on her touch, his excitement growing. He loved that rebel streak in Diana, that
undeniable edge.
“Alright, cut it out. Don’t hang around me like a lost puppy. Get out of my dressing room

thoughts or worries. This man had been under her thumb for years, a mere plaything to
while away the time, always trailing behind her
“Fine, at least let me rinse off and change before I leave,” he said.
The man was one of the lifeguards from earlier, the same one who didn’t want to take
responsibility. Nobody could have guessed he was in cahoots with Diana, plotting against
Ivy.
Initially hesitant when Diana approached him with the sinister plan, he had reservations
despite his love for her. However, when she looked at him with those deep, affectionate
eyes, he felt he could sacrifice everything for her, even his life.
How many years had it been since she’d looked at him with such emotion?
Diana knew he would agree, and deep down, he knew it too. It was just a matter of time.
In exchange for his help, he managed to steal a kiss from Diana.
Despite her strong dislike for Kael, she eventually allowed him to take a quick shower in
her dressing room. Letting him leave soaking wet would practically broadcast to the crew
that a lifeguard had been in her room.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished his shower and was about to leave, someone knocked on
the dressing room door.
They exchanged panicked glances.
“Who’d be knocking at your door?”
“Did someone see you come in?”
Both fired questions at each other.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKael, frowning and tense, shook his head. “I made sure no one saw me before I came in.”
Diana hurriedly ushered him back into the bathroom. Now was not the time for slip-ups.
She couldn’t let anyone find out Kael was in her room!
“Go back in. It might just be someone needing me for something” she said, pushing him
toward the bathroom, indicating for him not to just stand there.
Kael finally got the hint and tiptoed back into the bathroom, but the wet footprints he left
were unmistakable.
The persistent knocking continued. Diana couldn’t worry about that now. She took a deep
breath, mustered her composure, and opened the door with a look of irritation.
“What now? Haven’t I made it clear I needed rest? Why the disturbance?” she snapped.
Standing outside was a bespectacled crew member, someone who seemed to be
constantly at Margot’s side.
