“What happened?” Carol asked.
Carol’s question made Brian stop in his tracks. He hesitated for a second, “I have something important to take care of right now. I’ll see you later.”
Brian walked quickly away to try and catch up with Kyle.
Carol was saddened by Brian’s behavior, but she was glad she’d come. Of course, her presence there was not a coincidence.
Antonette had finally accepted that she couldn’t be with Brian. So, not wanting Diana to succeed where she’d failed, Antonette called Carol to tell her what was going on.
Though Carol hated Antonette for her snobbery, she did what Antonette asked in the call and went to the college to find Brian.
What was so good about Diana? Carol was irritated. She didn’t understand why Kyle and Brian treated Diana in such a special way.
Brian was one of the most outstanding men in this city. Kyle was also a lovely guy and an elite in the William family. How could these two exceptional men fall in love with that girl?
What’s worse, Diana was a liar. Carol had thought Diana was a girl with self-respect. But she had taken Carol’s check and then gone back on her word; she was still meeting with Kyle and Brian! What a bitch!
Carol regretted that she hadn’t ordered her bodyguard to beat Diana that day so as to teach her a lesson.
Ken cleared his throat, “Aren’t you leaving, Miss Jefferson?”
Although he spoke quite naturally, his words still hurt Carol. She stared at Ken and walked away, her delicate purse held tightly over her shoulder.
Ken sighed. At least it wasn’t a mess now, he thought. If Carol had stayed, things would have gotten really complicated.
But Carol didn’t intend to give up. Carol sat in her Bentley and called Antonette. “Call Diana to see where she is now. If she tells you, ask her to come outside and then tell me the address.” Carol ended the call abruptly.
Antonette was stunned. And when she realized Carol was looking to cause trouble for Diana, her surprise turned to joy.
Antonette texted Diana to ask her for dinner, and when she received a reply from Diana to say she was in a McDonalds, Antonette was able to ascertain exactly where she was quickly.
After discovering Diana’s whereabouts, Antonette swiftly informed Carol.
Carol raised her head and looked at the McDonalds across the road. But Brian and Kyle were still there… how to get back at Diana?
She soon came up with a plan. And if all went well, there wouldn’t even be any confrontation! Carol had planned it out in her mind. Diana was still hiding in the McDonalds, but Carol guessed she would soon venture out to see what was going on.
If she asked Ken to take her home, he would have to refuse and stay loyally by Brian’s side. Then she could cause a scene and get Ken and Brian to take her home. All the while, Diana would be watching Brian look after her, and Diana would be left behind again. She had a quick word with her driver to explain what was going on, then stepped out of her Bentley.
As Carol expected, Diana didn’t stay in the bathroom of the McDonalds. She walked out to check the situation, her head covered with a wide hat. Seeing Carol, Diana was sad and angry. After what happened in the café, Diana now realized what kind of person she was dealing with. Diana watched attentively as Carol approached Ken.
Brian was still arguing with Kyle, so Ken maintained a close distance, ready to intervene if needed. When he saw Carol coming towards him, he felt nervous. He never thought Carol would show up again; why was she disobeying Brian like that?
“My driver doesn’t feel well, so he can’t drive now. Could you drive me home?” Carol smiled innocently at Ken.
After a while, Ken said in a low voice, “Miss Jefferson, I can’t leave now. How about I find a driver for you?”
“You want to send me off with just any old driver? Who do you think I am?”Carol raised her voice.
Ken realized he had made a mistake with his suggestion, but it was too late now.
Carol didn’t like Ken; she could tell he was on Diana’s side. So she didn’t mind if he got in a bit of trouble.
Brian heard Carol’s angry tone and came over to them.
“What did Ken do?”
Carol bit her lip and murmured, “My driver doesn’t feel well, so I asked Ken to drive me home. But he said he would just find me some other driver.”
Brian knew he had to agree with Carol, although she was a spoiled girl. Clearing his throat, Brian looked at him and said, “You were really wrong there, Ken.”
Ken saw a look on Brian’s face, so he apologized to Carol at once.
Brian looked regretfully at Carol and said as nicely as he could, “You know what? I’ll take you back home today.”
Carol didn’t expect Brian to offer voluntarily, it was a great surprise.”Really? I was just thinking of inviting you to my house.”
Brian smiled politely and waved at Ken before getting into Carol’s Bentley.
Just as Carol had planned, Diana was still hiding in McDonald’s and saw what was happening. She felt overwhelmingly sad. Brian William was a liar! He acted like a man that was deeply in love with her when really he was just a playboy! Disgusting!
Seeing the Bentley drive away, Diana felt awful. She stayed there for a few moments to regain her composure and then walked out of McDonald’s to where Kyle had been waiting.
“Are you alright, Diana?” Kyle looked at Diana’s pale face and red eyes. He gave her his handkerchief.
Diana thanked him and wiped her eyes.
“Kyle, let’s go back and finish the experiment.”
Seeing Diana’s reaction, Kyle was also unhappy and couldn’t help putting his arm around Diana’s shoulders.
