Chapter 229

“Diana, come in quickly,” Ellie called from the doorway as she saw Yvette greeting everyone to enter the living room. Yvette went to the kitchen to find Aaron while Ellie was pulling Diana into the house.

“Ellie!” Diana exclaimed as she noticed the dazzling diamond ring on Ellie’s left hand. “Did Alex propose to you?!”

“Diana, don’t be so surprised, Ellie said as she saw everyone gathering around and staring at the diamond ring on her hand She nodded shyly.

Lacey took Ellie’s hand and looked at the diamond ring carefully, unable to help but exclaim. “Wow, such a big pink diamond on this ring. Could it be Nancy’s dowry?”

Ellie knew that the diamond ring on her hand was very valuable, but as an outsider, she couldn’t tell the material.

Lacey said, “Everyone in the circle knows that Nancy has a priceless pink diamond as her dowry back then. The cutting technique is obviously at the master level. Could it be that Alex really used Nancy’s priceless diamond to set this ring?”

Diana gave Ellie a proud look and said, “So what if it is? No matter how expensive the diamond is. Ellie is worthy of it!”

“That’s right. Lacey nodded vigorously and pulled Ellie and Diana to the sofa to chat.

Quinler’s eyes quietly followed the diamond ring on Ellie’s left hand, desperately trying to control the crazy jealousy in her heart.

In the beginning, when Alex mistook Quinlee for his savior and thought that it was because of saving him that she couldn’t have children and insisted on fulfilling his promise to be responsible for her, he also proposed to her.

But the engagement ring Alex gave Quinlee was less worth than the diamond ring that Ellie is wearing now.

Sitting on the sola opposite Ellie, Quinlee didn’t forget to echo everyone and hypocritically exaggerated how beautiful. Ellie’s diamond ring was,

Quinler had seen Joanna getting off the elevator in the supermarket and used a box of building blocks to trick a child into knocking Joanna down and falling off the elevator, hurting her back. Quinlee successfully made Ellie return to the Thompson residence.

If Quinlee had acted a little later, it was estimated that Ellie and Alex would have had a child in Yorksure.

Then Quinlee thought of the fact–Ellie was injected with poison to save Alex, and her reproductive system was completely damaged. Ellie could never have children in her life. Thinking that Alex and Ellie would never have a child of their own in their lives, Quinlee felt a little relieved.

“Try the juice I just squeezed Yvette came over with several glasses of juice.

“You guys chat. I’ll go prepare lunch.” Aaron put two plates of fruits on the coffee table.

Quinler’s eyes alternated between Diana and Aaron and said with a smile. “Yvette, you’re really lucky. Mr. Thompson not only has a good job but also is so good at taking care of the family and can even cook. I really envy you for finding such a good boyfriend.”

As soon as Quinlee spoke, the atmosphere in the living room changed instantly. Everyone present knew that Diana liked Aaron except Yvette.

Lacey and Ellie, and even Aaron’s eyes couldn’t help but look at Diana. Diana had a cold face and stared at Quinlee without moving.

Noticing the situation, Yvette quickly picked up a glass of juice and handed it to Diana. “Ms. Grant, try the juice I squeezed.”

Diana frowned and said, “I don’t want to drink it.”

Yvette held the juice glass and looked at everyone awkwardly.

Seeing this. Quinlee quickly spoke up to help Yvette. “Diana, don’t be like this. Yvette just wants to treat us well. If you don’t want to drink, just take a sip.”

“Ms. Grant, I don’t know your taste either. You can take a sip first. If it’s not good, I’ll squeeze you another glass.” Yvette handed the juice glass in her hand to Diana again.

“I said I don’t want to drink!” Diana gave Yvette a warning look. “Take it away!”

Yvette was on the verge of walking away when Quinlee piped up once more, “Diana, what’s up? Did Yvette do something to tick you off?”

Seeing this, Yvette shoved the juice forward for the third time. “Ms. Grant, I’m super straightforward and don’t have any hidden agendas. If I’ve rubbed you the wrong way somehow, just let me know. I won’t get all bent out of shape.”

“Are you seriously still at it?!” Diana snarled as she pushed Yvette away rudely.

With Yvette’s exclamation, the juice in her hand spilled out and splashed on her body. Immediately afterwards, the glass fell to the floor with a sharp cracking sound.

Yvette retreated to Aaron with a grievance and kept apologizing. “I’m sorry, Aaron. I’m so clumsy at doing such a small thing.”

Aaron looked at Yvette’s embarrassed appearance and then shifted his gaze to Ellie. “Ellie, take Ms. Griffith to change her clothes.

“Oh. Diana, how could you be so careless.” Quinlee saw that Ellie was about to take Yvette out of the living room and quickly got up. “Yvette is being kind and friendly to us. Diana, you should apologize to Yvette.”

“Why should I?” Diana’s temper rose, and she stood up suddenly from the sofa..

Lacey got up and pushed Quinlee. “Quinlee, what’s wrong with you? Are you turning your elbow out?” asked Lacey. “Ms. Mosley, you misunderstood me.” Quinlee was pushed by Lacey and looked at Aaron and Yvette with a good temper. Quinlee quietly looked at Diana and then continued, “Diana, don’t be willful. This is the Thompson residence, not the Grant Manor. I know your family spoils you without boundaries, but I am a person who stands by reason, not by people. “Obviously, it was you who knocked over Yvette’s juice glass. Apologizing is just to give Mr. Thompson some face.”

“No need, Aaron finally responded to Quinlee. His gaze fell on Diana’s arm splashed with juice and then walked forward and pushed the coffee table aside. “Be careful of the glass on the floor so as not to step on it. Go wash your hands first.”

As soon as Aaron finished speaking, Diana stepped forward, grabbed the collar of Aaron’s shirt, pulled him in front of her, and wiped all the juice on her arm onto Aaron’s shirt. She gave Yvette a defiant look and then picked up her bag and left. Yvette looked at the large juice stain on Aaron’s chest caused by Diana and was so angry that her face turned red.

“Ms. Griffith, I’ll take you to wash and change your clothes” Ellie quietly looked at Quinlee and then pulled Yvette to the

bathroom.

Quinlee was the younger sister of Diana’s sister–in–law. In theory. Quinlee should stand by Diana’s side in everything. But just now, Quinlee clearly sided with Yvette.

The Grant family spoiled Diana. Diana’s sister–in–law spoiled her even more. But with Quinlee, it seemed that everything had changed.

Yvette asked, “Ellie, is Aaron close to Ms. Grant?”

* 13%

Ellie stood at the bathroom door and listened to Yvette’s obvious probing voice. She hesitated and didn’t speak immediately. As a woman, she could understand Yvette’s concerns.

But up to now, Aaron only called Yvette “Ms. Griffith” and the number of times they met could be counted on one’s fingers. It was obvious that Aaron hadn’t developed a relationship with Yvette to the point of being boyfriend and girlfriend.

“Ms. Grant has a bold personality. We’re all used to it,” Ellie casually said and handed the clothes in her hand to Yvette.

Wh they came out of the bathroom, Diana had left first. Quinlee and Lacey were still there, and Aaron was in the kitchen. Watching Yvette go to the kitchen, Ellie came to the living room.

Lacey was angry with Quinlee because Diana had left. I made an appointment with Diana to come and visit Mrs. Thompson. What are you doing here? Don’t you have legs? Can’t you come by yourself? Why do you have to come with us?

Quinlee explained with some embarrassment, Tm sorry, Ms. Mosley. I thought we were all friends and it would be livelier if we came together.”

“Don’t make it sound so nice. You now depend on the Grant family. You don’t side with Diana and turn your elbow out everywhere. Are you really Winnie’s younger sister?!” Lacey glared at Quinlee angrily and pulled Ellie to sit beside her.

Ellie quietly looked at Quinlee, and Quinlee subconsciously lowered her head and clenched her hands tightly at her sides.

Back then, if it hadn’t been for Lacey, who went to the Warren Manor and sued to Alex’s parents, saying that Quinlee bullied Ellie overseas, it was estimated that Quinlee and Alex would have got married long ago, and she wouldn’t have been driven out of the Warren family by Nancy.

Now, Lacey started to question Quinlee’s identity. “What are you talking about, Ms. Mosley? Of course, I’m Winnie’s real sister. Could it be a fake?” Quinlee was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but on her face, she still looked innocent.

“I came here all cheery, but turns out I’ve put a damper on things for everyone. Since Ms. Mosley doesn’t wanna see me, I’ll just skedaddle, Quinlee said, feeling bummed.

Quinlee got up to leave, and Ellie politely rose to see her off.

“She’s such a drama queen, just ignore her, Lacey said, yanking Ellie back to plop down on the sofa.

Brushing off Lacey’s harsh words behind her, Quinlee slipped out of the living room quietly. Just you wait, you little Troublemaker Quinlee thought, gnashing her teeth in fury.

“Quinlee,” Yvette called out, rushing after Quinlee right then.

Noticing Yvette looked down in the dumps, Quinlee casually asked, “Yvette, what’s up? Why do you look so down?”

Yvette smiled awkwardly, holding Quinlee’s hand, “Ms. Janssen, could you take me to the Grant Manor? I pissed off Ms Grant and Aaron’s really ticked. I wanna apologize face–to–face.”

“No biggie, of course, Quinlee replied.

A few minutes later, the two hopped into the car. Quinlee fired up the engine and slowly drove away from the Thompson residence. “Yvette, there’s something I’m kinda on the fence about saying.” Quinlee said in a chit–chatty tone as they talked

“I don’t have many buds here, so I’m really stoked to know you, Ms. Janssen. If you got something to say, spill it. Yvette said, sounding glum.

“Before you came into the picture, Diana and Aaron were all over each other for ages. Everyone in our clique knew about it. Did Aaron ever bring this up to you?”

Caught off–guard by Quinlee’s sudden question, Yvette was left shocked. It took her a while to snap out of it, and she quickly said. “Aaron didn’t breathe a word to me, but I can tell by the way they look at each other. I haven’t hung out with Aaron for long, but can see he’s really doting and lenient towards Ms. Grant.”

Quinlee said, “Diana’s got a top–notch family background, a killer body, a gorgeous face, and she dresses been flirting with Aaron for ages, and who knows how far things have really gone between them.

superh

hot. She’s

Quinlee continued, “But then again, if Aaron agreed to go on a blind date, it means things between them are probably kaput. Yvette, this is your shot. It’s great to hang out with friends, but you gotta grab the chance with a great guy when it comes

around”

All the way to the Grant Manor, Quinlee kept hammering ideas into Yvette’s head. By the time they arrived, Yvette was totally in a state of disarray.

“Yvette, I’ve got some things on my plate. Diana’s right in that building over there. You head on over by yourself, I won’t be going with you.” Quinlee said, and hollered for a servant to show Yvette the way to find Diana.

Spotting the anger that Yvette could barely hold back, Quinlee couldn’t help but smirk triumphantly. Quinlee was dermined to turn Ellie’s life, and the lives of everyone around Ellie, into utter chaos, with not a single moment of peace.

“Miss, Ms. Griffith is here,” the servant announced, leading Yvette into the living room where Diana happened to be.

The instant Diana laid eyes on Yvette, her face turned as black as thunder. “Who the devil let her in?”

I’m terribly sorry, miss. It was Ms. Quinlee Janssen who told me to bring Ms. Griffith here,” the servant stammered. cowering backward in fear.

Yvette casually cast a glance around the living room, and a fleeting glint of jealousy flashed through her eyes. No wonder Diana was so high–handed and full of herself. Just one look at the opulent decor was enough to blow anyone’s mind.

“Ms. Grant, don’t give her a hard time. I literally begged Ms. Janssen to bring me here. Yvette took a step forward and offered an apology. “Even though Aaron told me it wasn’t my fault, I still feel super bad for not treating you right.”

Diana, in her slippers, towered over Yvette in high–heels. Looking down at Yvette with a look of pure disgust, Diana said,

Yvette, there’s no one else here. Cut the act in front of me.

Diana said, “The first time I saw you in that bar, your male friends were up to no good, and the second you kicked my phone away, I knew you were a piece of work!”

Caught red–handed by Diana, Yvette dropped the charade. She gracefully tidied her long hair and met Diana’s eyes squarely. She said. “Even though I have no clue what you are blabbering about, since you opened her mouth, I’ve got a few things to say to you too.”

Diana let out a sneer.

Yvette said, “I know you’ve got a thing for my boyfriend, and I know you’re way better–off than me in every aspect. But I still hope you can keep your dignity and not be the home–wrecker who tries to break up our relationship!”

Diana crossed her arms over her chest and warned icily, “Calling me a home–wrecker, who the hell do you think you are?!”

Yvette retorted. “You’re lusting after my boyfriend, so you’re the home–wrecker!”

“Yvette, picking a fight with me won’t do you any favors!” Diana picked her ear, and with a look of revulsion, she turned

around

Hearing Diana’s words, Yvette’s face kept changing expressions. When she spoke again, there was a clear hint of panic in her voice. “What the hell do you mean?!”

Diana turned around and said. Just what you think it means, duh.”

Yvette declared, “Aaron and I are about to get engaged. Be smart and stay away from him. No matter how pushy you get, he won’t give you the time of day!”
