Chapter 247.
Before Quinler could finish her sentence, Diana raised her hand and slapped her too.
Quinlee held her stinging check in disbelief and said, “Diana, you’re way too arrogant! I’m just trying to help you. How could you lash out and hit someone?!”
Even the onlookers couldn’t stand it, and they started criticizing Diana’s actions.
Diana pointed arrogantly at Quinlee’s forehead and warned her, “Don’t think I’ll tolerate you just because you’re my sister- in–law’s sister. If you talk nonsense again, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
“Diana. I’m doing this for your own good. If you don’t appreciate it, then I won’t say anything else. Quinlee said. Although she was wishing she could lash out at Diana, on the surface, she didn’t dare truly confront Diana and could only hold back and step away.
Yvette blamed. “Ms. Grant, I know you’re an heiress from a wealthy family and everyone is afraid of you, but that doesn’t mean you can just hit people without a reason!”
Yvette, with a scratched arm, stood in front of Aaron, her eyes red with frustration. “Aaron, you need to judge this. It’s bad enough she’s a prideful heiress who bullies others, but how can she have no basic sympathy?
“I told her the medicine was for Mrs. Thompson, and she threw it away anyway!”
“Diana!” Ellie noticed Diana angrily heading towards Yvette and quickly grabbed her arm. “Calm down and talk it out instead of acting on impulse, she advised.
Yvette and Quinlee were clearly trying to provoke Diana. With her strong personality, Diana always faced problems directly and never held back. Moreover, she was always proud and often didn’t care to explain herself. It was understandable that she might end up at a disadvantage because of this.
Ellie could understand why Aaron kept reminding Diana not to be impulsive in difficult situations. But Ellie never expected that the bag Yvette always protected contained medicine for Joanna’s rheumatism treatment.
“Move out of the way, Ellie!” Diana pushed Ellie aside as she walked towards Yvette, her high heels clicking on the ground. “Ms. Grant, are you really daring enough to hit me in front of Aaron?!” Yvette subtly moved closer to Aaron for safety. “What if I slap you right in front of him?!” Diana raised her hand, ready to hit, but Aaron caught her wrist in mid–air. Locking eyes with Aaron’s intense gaze, Diana gritted her teeth and snapped, “Aaron, let go!”
Diana tried hard to pull her hand back, but Aaron held it even tighter. Without saying a word, and with everyone watching. he pulled Diana out of the restaurant.
Yvette watched as Aaron pulled Diana away without a word and gave Quinlee an embarrassed glance.
“Yvette, you should go check on them, Quinler cleverly suggested.
“Ms. Griffitha” Ellie stepped in when Yvette tried to follow Aaron outside, blocking her way. “Thank you for helping with my mom’s medicine. Even though it spilled, we appreciate your thoughtfulness, Ms. Griffith.”
“It’s fine. When Hyker isn’t busy anymore, I’ll have him take me to his friend’s place to get some more medicine for Mrs. Thompson Yvette said, pushing past Ellie to chase after Aaron
Seeing Ellie not letting Yvette leave, Quinler came over to help. “Ellie, Yvette is Aaron’s girlfriend after all. Why do you keep stopping her?”
Ellie ignored her. The three women were tugging at each other, and Ellie spoke with a sarcastic tone. “Aaron is talking with Diana, and someone as polite as Ms. Griffith wouldn’t disturb them, right?

Ellie took Yvette by the hand and suggested. “Let me take you to the hospital to get your arm bandaged.
* 1150
Yvette pushed Ellie away with a sour look. “It’s just a small injury, nothing to worry about. I’ll leave after I have a quick word
with Aaron
By the road outside the restaurant, Aaron let go of Diana. Under the streetlight, they looked at each other with only a step of space between them. Seeing Diana so angry, Aaron frowned, “You threw the medicine away, hit someone, and you’re still
mad?”
Diana exclaimed, “Aaron, shouldn’t you at least ask why I got mad and hit them?!”
Aaron replied. “You haven’t explained, have you?!”
F your
Diana snapped, “If I explain, will you actually tell precious little angel?!”
Aaron said, “Diana, you’re an adult now. Even if she said something unpleasant and provoked you, that’s no excuse for hitting someone! There are many ways to handle these things. Why do you always choose the most extreme one? Do you ever consider the consequences before you act!!”
“If someone ticks me off, I hit them! Why should I think about consequences?!” Diana fumed, turning her back to Aaron and taking deep breaths.
“I didn’t provoke you, yet you still want to get back at me. You’re being so unreasonable. Have you ever thought about how. others feel!!
Hearing Aaron’s questioning behind her, Diana turned around. Just as she was about to step forward, her heel got stuck in a manhole cover, twisting her ankle. Diana bent down and took off her shoe.
She picked up her high heel, barefoot, and threw it at Aaron. “Oh, we all know you’re high and mighty. Stop preaching to me! I like you; that’s why I’m bothering you. Why else would I go to this trouble and not with someone else?”
Furious, Diana threw the other high heel at Aaron. Their eyes met, and for a moment, Aaron was stunned as Diana’s shoe hit
him.
The first time at the mansion, Diana tested the waters by saying she wanted to pursue him, only to be turned down. This was the second time Diana admitted she liked him, after they had an irreversible relationship.
He bent down to pick up Diana’s high heel, took a couple of steps forward, and placed it by her feet. His voice had completely changed as he said, “Put your shoes on first.”
I won’t Diana kicked it away.
Aaron stood up helplessly, realizing that Diana was so upset that she was crying.
He tried to keep his cool as he said, “You called me in the middle of the night, saying you were in danger at a hotel. When I got there, you drugged me.
“You created an irreversible situation between us, and instead of feeling guilty, you recorded videos and took photos to blackmail me!
“Diana, you’re a girl. Even if you have no limits for yourself, can’t you think about others? Do you realize how despicable your methods are and how serious the consequences could be?!”
Their eyes locked, and Diana wiped away her tears. She shoved Aaron in frustration. Tin shameless and despicable, while you’re all noble and righteous, Why don’t you just report me then?!”
Aaron frowned. Tm not that noble, but the fact is you’re being unreasonable

Diana said. “In the end, you just blame me for scheming against you and getting in the way of your romance with that bitch!”
Aaron said. “Isn’t it true that you schemed against me?! Is it that hard for you to admit when you make a mistake?!
“Diana, right now you’re sheltered by your parents and brothers. You can do whatever you want without worries, but someday your parents will age, and your brothers can’t always be there for you.
“Once you’re away from the Grant family, out of your brothers‘ sight, your attitude will get you in trouble sooner or later!”
“You’re not my dad, so don’t lecture me?” Diana shouted, tears streaming down her face. She hated it when people preached to her.
She wanted a relationship like her brother Patrick and sister–in–law Winnie had. No matter what huge trouble Winnie got into. Patrick always cared most about whether Winnie had been wronged or if her hand hurt from punching something.
She wanted to be favored–unreasonably and absolutely. Her parents could give it to her, her seven brothers could give it to her. even her sister–in–law could give it to her, but the man she liked couldn’t.
She couldn’t take it anymore! She looked directly into Aaron’s eyes, crying louder and messier than she ever had before. She told Aaron, word by word, “I’m leaving the country now. As long as you, Aaron, don’t get married and have kids, 1, Diana, won’t come back home!”
