“It wasn’t his idea. He didn’t want this. I called you without telling him…”
“You don’t have to cover for him!” Diana’s voice trembled with emotion, clearly on edge. “I

know exactly what’s going, did he trick me into coming here to play mediator and beg my sister–in–law, no, my sister to forgive him?
“Hah! With his behavior, forget my sister, even I wouldn’t forgive him!”
Diana was truly furious, more so than she had ever been before. Her beloved brother had used such a deceitful tactic to drag her into this mess as a go–between.
If it had been for any other reason, she might have let it slide. But of all things, it was for a situation she simply couldn’t accept.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Turning to Suzy, she exclaimed, “Sis, the world isn’t short on men, and good ones aren’t that rare either. Don’t ever forgive him. Never!!
Dylan was speechless.
Was this really his own sister?
He’d expected her to be upset, but he hadn’t imagined she’d be this furious!
The whole point of bringing her here was to have her help smooth things over. Instead, not only was she not helping, but she was actively making things worse.
Even Elliot was caught off guard by Diana’s reaction. He had thought she would be Dylan’s secret weapon, his ace in the hole. Who knew she’d turn out to be anything but?
Watching her, Elliot couldn’t help but think, “She’s got a surprisingly strong sense of morality.”
He glanced at Diana again, his curiosity piqued. A woman with such strong principles was undeniably beautiful.
But, of course, she still couldn’t compare to Suzy
In Elliot’s eyes, Suzy was the most beautiful woman in the world, incomparable to anyone else.
Looking at Dylan’s dark, thunderous expression, Elliot felt a rush of satisfaction. As if to rub salt in the wound, he walked over and called out to Suzy, “Mentor, it’s close to our boarding
time.
“If you’ve got something to take care of, stay behind. I’ll go on my own. It’s no big deal–I’ve handled things on my own for the past three years. I can manage now too.”
“No way!” Suzy immediately shut down the idea
Now that they were here, there was no way she’d let Elliot go on his own. Turning to Diana,

she said, “Diana, I have something urgent to take care of. If you’re not in a hurry to leave, stay here for a few days, and when I get back, we’ll go out for some great food together.”
The moment Diana heard Suzy was leaving, she didn’t even hesitate. “I’ll go with you!”
Elliot quickly stepped in. “No!”
Diana turned to him, giving him a sharp look for the first time. “Why not? And who are you, anyway? Since when do you get to interrupt when I’m talking to my sister?”
Elliot was speechless.
Whatever goodwill he’d felt toward Diana earlier evaporated in an instant. “If your ears are working, you should’ve heard me just now calling her my mentor.”
“Mentor?” Diana turned to Suzy. “He’s your student?”
Suzy nodded. “That’s right. Let me introduce him–this is Elliot Hayes.‘

Diana gave Elliot a once–over, her gaze sharp and assessing. The possessiveness in his whenever he looked at Suzy was glaringly obvious to her. So, was this some kind of forbidden romance brewing here?
Suppressing her thoughts, Diana curved her lips into a faint smile. “Since you’re the junior here, you should understand the basic courtesy of not interrupting when your elders are speaking.”
“Elder?” Elliot let out a dry laugh, clearly irritated. “And how exactly are you my elder?”
Diana smirked and threw his own words back at him. “If your ears are working, you should’ve heard me call her my sister just now. So, do you think that makes me your elder or not?”
Both Elliot and Dylan were speechless.
Well, maybe this little sister wasn’t entirely useless after all!
