: Give Me Back My Things

After washing up, Diana dried her hair and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled happily, admiring her fair skin and slender figure. It was almost time, and she wondered if Luke's annoying photos in her room had been removed. She couldn't wait to get back to her room.

But before she could even step inside, she heard an argument.

"You're getting more and more confused as you get older. Who gave you the right to tidy up the room?!"

"She told me to..."

"Who? Who told you to do that? Diana, huh? Don't think I'm stupid. Everyone knows she's crazy about Luke. How dare you say it was her order!"

"I..."

"Taylor, just because you're old doesn't mean you can ignore the rules here. When I get back, I'll tell Auntie and Cousin. You can go back to the countryside to retire!"

That voice... it was Olivia Stewart! Olivia was the niece of Serena Stewart, Diana's stepmother. Serena had convinced their father to hire Olivia as a maid after she dropped out of high school and couldn't find a job. Their father didn't usually involve himself in such matters, so he agreed.

Olivia, who knew her status in the family, was acting like a bossy lady, doing nothing but showing off. At that time, Diana was completely unaware and even brought her along as a personal maid. Looking back, Olivia was like a spy sent by Maddie!

Diana's eyes turned cold, and she walked over. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Olivia pointing at Ms. Taylor and cursing at her. Ms. Taylor was already fifty years old and had worked for Thompson for more than thirty years. Yet, she was now being scolded by Olivia and dare not say a word. A sharp glint flashed through Diana's eyes.

"Who do you think you are? Your voice is so loud, and you don't follow the rules!" Diana stood at the door and spoke calmly to Olivia.

The people inside the room all turned their heads upon hearing Diana's voice. When they saw Diana, who was wearing a white dress, they were all stunned. Who was this beauty? Was there someone like her in Thompson? They stared blankly for a few seconds before Ms. Taylor's trembling voice brought them back to reality.

"That young lady is Diana Thompson? The one who always looks like she's been through hell? That wild and unruly Diana?" The people in the room gaped, as if they could swallow an egg. But on closer inspection, it did seem to be Miss Diana Thompson. So she could be this beautiful without any makeup on!

Olivia finally came back to her senses. She looked surprised, and then said, "It's Diana. Why are you dressed like this?"

Diana frowned, "Why are you calling me that?"

"Diana? What's wrong?" Olivia couldn't figure out what was wrong. Wasn't that what she always called her?

Diana glanced at Olivia before entering the room and taking a seat. She looked Olivia up and down, making her feel uneasy. Diana seemed different this time, like a different person, and her gaze was uncomfortable.

Olivia cleared her throat and said, "Diana, I was just helping you teach this old woman a lesson. She tore your favorite photo of Luke, and I-"

"I haven't spoken yet," Diana interrupted. "You're a servant. Who gave you permission to do that?" Olivia's expression changed instantly, and she hated being called a servant. She had almost forgotten that she was just a servant during her years under Serena and Maddie's care. But why would Diana suddenly say that?

"Diana, what's wrong? Why are you-"

"Are you deaf?" Diana narrowed her eyes, and the coldness in them made Olivia shudder.

Olivia quickly corrected herself and said, "Miss Thompson..."

Diana smirked coldly when she heard Olivia's correction. "That's right. As a servant, you should know your place and not forget it. Your expensive clothes are even more ostentatious than mine, and they're distracting. Go change them."

Olivia was stunned. She looked at the designer dress she was wearing and wondered what had gotten into Diana. She had never been scolded in this house before, and she was finding it hard to take.

"I'm supposed to change? This dress was a gift from you to me, so that's why I'm wearing it!"

"So, it was a gift from me," Diana said, propping her chin up and looking like she had just realized something.

Just as Olivia breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Diana say, "I regret it now. I want everything I gave you back. From today on, you will wear the same uniform as the other servants in the villa."

"What?!" Olivia widened her eyes and protested, "You gave them to me. Why should I give them back? I won't!"

"You won't?" Diana tilted her head and pointed to the two servants standing nearby. "You two, take her clothes off!"

The servants looked at each other in disbelief. Had they heard Diana right?! Wasn't Olivia always treated like a sister by their mistress?

"Did you not hear what Miss Thompson said?" Ms. Taylor barked, finally snapping everyone back to reality. They moved forward and pinned Olivia to the ground.

Olivia struggled like a shrew, screaming, "How dare you! If you lay a finger on me, I'll tell my aunt! When she comes back, none of you will be able to run away!"

The servants hesitated at her words.After all, Serena was the mistress of this house, and Diana had always been on good terms with Olivia and Maddie. Maybe it was just a momentary outburst. If they got in trouble later, no one would defend them, and it would be their fault as the servants. With Olivia's vindictive personality, she would definitely seek revenge against them.

Diana noticed their concerns and tapped her fingers on the table beside her. "If anything happens, I'll take the blame. Just take her clothes off," she said coldly, injecting some courage into them. "If she keeps yelling, then slap her!"

Upon hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief and eagerly started to take off Olivia's clothes. Olivia had always bullied them, so now they felt that justice was being served, and they showed no mercy in their actions. Some even took the opportunity to pinch her.

Olivia held onto her clothes tightly like a madwoman. "Stop it! How dare you! Who dares to take my clothes! Get away..." But outnumbered, she was soon stripped naked.

At first, Olivia cursed and swore, but then she began to cry and plead like a beggar. "Diana, what are you doing! Aren't we good sisters? Please, make them stop!"

Diana remained unmoved, allowing Olivia to be stripped down to her underwear. Seeing Olivia sitting on the ground, disheveled and looking like she had just been robbed, Diana felt great satisfaction and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Look at you sitting on the ground like that. Don't you want to get up and give me back the things I gave you before?"

Although Olivia felt humiliated and angry, she had just experienced Diana's power, and now she didn't dare say a word. A look of resentment flashed in her eyes as she slowly got up and left Diana's room. She was determined to tell her aunt when she returned!

Diana was in a great mood. She took a deep breath. This was just the beginning.

Serena Stewart and Maddie Stewart, the debts of their past lives, she would recover them one by one!

Suddenly, the sound of a car parking downstairs could be heard.

Diana's eyes lit up. "Dad's back!" She quickly picked up her skirt and hurried downstairs.

Meanwhile, Ben, who was waiting on the first floor, stood up nervously. The scene he had been most worried about had finally happened. According to his father's temper, if Diana didn't admit her mistake this time, she might really be slapped...

With a series of footsteps, James Thompson was the first to enter the living room. He was wearing a dark gray suit and had a stern expression on his face. At the moment, his complexion wasn't very good, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. Standing beside James was an elegant and luxurious woman, dripping with jewels and pearls, his stepmother, Serena.

Ben looked at James and whispered, "Dad."

"Where's Diana?" James hadn't spoken yet, but a young man rushed out from behind him. He looked a bit like Ben, but his features were even colder, and he exuded an air of coldness and nobility that belied his age. He was Diana's third oldest brother, Colin Thompson.

Ben said, "She's upstairs, just out of the hospital..."

"I heard she was in a car accident. Why didn't anyone tell me in advance? Is she okay?" Colin's tone was full of anxiety.

"Colin, don't worry. Since Diana has been discharged from the hospital, she must be fine," a graceful figure, Maddie, appeared behind Serena and spoke to Colin. She wore a white dress, looking gentle and charming.

Colin frowned and ignored her.

"How can you be so sure that I'm okay, but look like you don't care at all about me?" A voice, neither too loud nor too small, came from the corner of the stairs.

They turned their heads and saw a slender and graceful girl standing there. She also wore a white dress, her black hair casually tied up, revealing a slender and smooth neck. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her features were delicate, like a beautiful painting. Everyone was surprised.

Ben was the first to exclaim, "Diana?!"

Diana smiled slightly. "Ben, why are you making such a fuss?" Then she turned her head to James and Colin, who were equally shocked, suppressed her excitement, and said softly, "Dad, Colin. It's been a long time."

There was silence for a long time. Then Colin spoke first, "Diana, why are you suddenly dressed like this? I almost didn't recognize you..."

"Do I look good?" Diana smiled brightly, very charming.

"It looks good. Our Diana is the most beautiful!" Ben quickly added.

"Ahem~" James coughed twice, suppressing his surprise. He looked at Diana with a deep gaze and said, "That's more like it. Finally, you know how to dress properly!"

He had planned to scold Diana, but when he saw his little daughter suddenly change into a well-behaved appearance, half of his anger disappeared. Maddie next to him covered up her shock and lowered her head, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. A simple dress was worn so stunningly by Diana. She was surprised. What happened to Diana? Why did she suddenly dress normally?

Serena showed a gentle smile and said, "Diana looks so beautiful in this dress, like a little fairy. If the Matthews family saw you like this, they would forgive you."

Diana admired Serena. In just a few words, she perfectly demonstrated what it means to smile with a knife hidden inside.

Indeed, when the Matthews family was mentioned, James' face immediately turned ugly. He angrily said, "Diana, come to me!"

Seeing this, Ben and Colin immediately stood in front of her. Ben whispered, "Dad, Diana just came out of the hospital, and her body hasn't fully recovered yet. Don't be too harsh on her."

Colin also said, "Diana is still young. If you have any grievances, don't take it out on her. Don't blame her."

Hearing this, James snorted coldly. "I haven't done anything to her yet, but all of you can't wait to protect her. You three brothers have been spoiling her every day, and now she's out of control! I will make her understand her mistakes today!"

: James Thompson's Rage

Diana descended the stairs and pushed past Ben and Colin, who were standing in front of her, to reach James. "Dad, I need to talk to you," she said.

James looked at her with electric eyes. She was his little daughter, whom he had cherished since she was a child. But she was getting more and more unruly. If she didn't understand her mistake today, he would have to teach her a lesson. However, Diana surprised him. She walked up to him, spoke softly, and said, "Dad, it's all my fault. I'm sorry."

James widened his eyes in disbelief. She didn't argue and even apologized? This unexpected development made him swallow his anger. "Do you really understand your mistake?" he asked.

"Yes, I will personally apologize to the Matthews family," Diana replied. She looked up at James, who had a somewhat weathered face, and couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of her past sins. "Dad, don't worry. I won't make you angry again."

Her eyes turned red, and James, who had been rigid, immediately softened. Diana was his precious baby since childhood, how could he bear to let her be wronged?

"Hmph, at least you understand and know you are wrong!" James's tone was still hard, but his expression was much softer.

Maddie stood aside, looking at the scene of fatherly love and daughterly devotion, feeling extremely jealous. She had been fighting for so many years, but James didn't even let her call him "Dad." Yet, when Diana made a big mistake, a few tears and apologies were enough for James to forgive her. It was unfair!

Maddie walked over and hugged Diana's shoulder. "Diana, stop crying. I feel sorry for you," she said.

As Diana basked in the long-lost love from her father, she suddenly felt repulsed when Maddie approached her. What a performance Maddie was putting on! She silently mocked herself for being deceived in her past life by Maddie and Serena, which had worsened her relationship with her family.

"Mr. Thompson, Diana is young and makes mistakes. Although John's leg might be permanently injured, as long as Diana sincerely apologizes, I believe the Matthews family will forgive her," Maddie said softly.

As soon as John's leg was mentioned, James's face fell. Diana sneered inwardly. These two women were really good at provoking people. In her past life, she had fallen into this trap, and her relationship with her family had deteriorated while she had begun to trust Maddie and Serena more. However, after being reborn, she had become much smarter.

"I will definitely apologize," Diana said, moving her body to avoid Maddie's hand. "And as for the engagement, I will keep my promise."

"What?!" Maddie was even more surprised than James. "Diana, apologizing is one thing, but the engagement is not a joke. You have to think it through!"

James looked at her in confusion. "Are you serious?"

"Of course! I'm very serious!" Diana nodded firmly. "Dad, I've decided. I'm going to marry John Matthews!"

Maddie saw this and her heart sank. John, that towering man, had caught her attention from the very first moment she saw him. That noble man was too good for anyone but her. Especially not Diana, who was foolish.

Maddie grabbed her hand, looking worried. "Diana, what are you talking about? Weren't you afraid of John? Didn't you say you'd rather die than be with him? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Did you really say that?" James was stunned.

"That was just a moment of anger. Why did you take it seriously?" Diana pulled her hand away and looked confused. "Maddie, why do I feel like you don't want me to marry John?"

As Diana spoke, James's gaze shifted to Maddie. She realized that she had lost her composure.

"I didn't mean it that way. I just want you to be happy. After all, you've always liked Luke..." Maddie trailed off, putting her hand over her mouth, looking guilty. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Although she looked remorseful on her face, there was a hint of a cold smile in her heart. She knew that James hated the name Luke. Diana had done many absurd things for Luke, causing a rift between them.

As expected, James's face changed instantly. He sternly said, "Luke? Haven't you caused enough trouble for that useless guy?"

Diana looked at Maddie, her forehead scrunched up in anger. How dare she set her up like this! She turned her gaze and put on a pitiful expression. "Dad, don't be angry. Although Maddie encouraged me to pursue Luke, since he has been ignoring me, I've thought it through, and I don't like him anymore."

Ben couldn't hold back his anger. He rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Maddie, I knew it! You're the one who encouraged Diana to pursue Luke!"

Maddie was stunned. Diana never used to throw her under the bus, even when things went wrong. Why was she blaming her now?

"I didn't expect Luke to be so ungrateful!" Maddie cried out in panic.

Serena quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, Diana likes Luke. How can feelings be controlled? Just because Maddie wants Diana to like someone, does that mean she will?"

Maddie was crying, "Yes, Mr. Thompson. I just want Diana to be happy."

Diana, with her big eyes wide open, spoke earnestly, "Yes, Maddie is genuinely trying to help me. She wants me to catch up with Luke, so she taught me how to be a rock girl, dress uniquely, and gave me a lot of advice. Dad, don't misunderstand her!"

Upon hearing this, the three Thompson brothers couldn't help but twitch their eyes. It turns out that Diana's outrageous outfit was actually Maddie's suggestion!

Maddie was in a state of panic. Was Diana really standing up for her or trying to trick her?

"Mr. Thompson, please let me explain, I..."

"That's enough!" James impatiently interrupted her. He turned to Maddie, with a hint of disapproval in his eyes. "You are always so close with Diana, and her ridiculous behavior is partly your fault! You will be grounded for three days, and your allowance for the next three months will be withheld."

Maddie grimaced and felt extremely dissatisfied, but she knew better than to argue. In the Thompson household, she and Serena were still considered outsiders.

"Yes, Mr. Thompson," she muttered under her breath.

Diana smirked at Maddie's misery. Although the punishment was light, it didn't matter. This was just the beginning. Seeing James' anger, Serena had originally planned to speak up for Maddie, but now she wisely kept quiet.

Just then, someone rushed out from the side and grabbed her arm, bursting into tears. "Auntie, you have to help me!" Serena was startled and looked closer. It was her niece, Olivia. What was she doing here？

"Why are you crying? If someone didn't know any better, they would think something terrible had happened to the Thompson family!" James was already annoyed and his temper flared up even more when Olivia rushed over. Olivia was taken aback by his outburst and immediately stopped crying.

"What's going on? Speak properly, why are you crying?"Serena pushed Olivia away, sounding a bit annoyed.

Upon hearing this, Olivia sniffled and said, "Auntie, today Diana... she made someone, made someone..."

"What did she do?"

"She... publicly stripped off my clothes."

James felt a headache coming on when he heard that Diana was causing trouble again. He didn't even need to think before getting angry and saying, "Diana! Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't cause trouble for even one day? You just came back and you're already up to no good again?"

He knew that Diana's attitude just now was so unusual because she had done something wrong again.

"Dad, please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding in the middle!" Ben quickly interjected.

"Enough! I don't know why you're always protecting her no matter what!" James snapped.

Diana was a bit frightened to learn that her father had such a poor impression of her. It seemed that over the years, other than focusing on herself, Serena and Maddie had also brainwashed her father.

"Colin, move aside. I'm going to teach her a lesson today!" James shouted at Colin.

Colin's gaze flickered but he did not move. He said in a deep voice, "Dad, if you must slap someone, then slap me instead. I'll take the punishment for Diana."

"Have you all gone against me?! Do you all think I won't lay a hand on you?!" James glared at his sons, who were standing in front of Diana, and was so angry that his hands were shaking.

Upon seeing the situation, Maddie grabbed Diana's hand and asked insincerely, "Diana, look, Ben and Colin are going to be punished because of you. Say something!" Diana's gaze flickered slightly.

In the past, upon hearing Maddie say something like this, she would have been so angry that she would have argued with her father and made things even more tense between them. But now, she was very clear-headed.

She took a step forward and faced James' angry gaze, saying calmly, "Dad, I can explain this..."

"What is there to explain? Did you or did you not do this?!" James interrupted.

"I did, but..."

"Oh my god, Diana, how could you do something like this? Olivia is a girl, and you've made it difficult for her to live with this in the future!" Diana was cut off mid-sentence by Serena, who suddenly spoke up. Her exaggerated expression and incredulous look were so convincing that she deserved an Oscar.

"You all get out of here! Today, I'm going to teach her a lesson!" James pushed Ben and Colin aside, walked up to Diana, gritted his teeth, and was about to slap her when he saw Diana take a step back.

"How dare you hide from me?!"

"Dad, you haven't even asked me about it. That's not fair!" Diana protested.

"You look like a troublemaker! What else is there to ask?" James replied, his anger rising.

Diana gazed at him, a tinge of sadness on her face. "Dad, you weren't like this before. When Mom was still alive, you would always listen to me and not resort to violence like you just did..."

James's emotions stirred as she mentioned his deceased wife. He paused in his steps and slowly retracted his hand. He sat back down on his chair and spoke in a low voice, "Then explain it to me."

Upon hearing this, Olivia, who was kneeling on the ground, became uneasy. Her gaze flickered and she felt that something was amiss. Wasn't she always irrational and prone to throwing tantrums?

: Love from Brothers

"I didn't mean to strip her clothes off, I just took back what was already mine," Diana glanced at Olivia and said calmly. "But she refused to give it back, so I had to take matters into my own hands."

James looked at Olivia. "So, Diana gave you the clothes?"

"The clothes... yes, they were given to me by Diana. But once you give something away, you can't just take it back," Olivia replied before Diana could speak.

"I haven't said anything yet, and you're already arguing for yourself. When did a servant in the Thompson household have the right to ride on my head?" Diana's words made Olivia's face change. She used the word "servant "!

"I am the daughter of the Thompson family, and she is a servant. When I gave her something, it was my kindness. If I take it back, what's wrong with that? Besides, Olivia took many clothes without my permission. It was already gracious of me not to teach her a lesson, and yet she still wants to bite me!" Diana spoke up and everyone fell silent.

Watching Diana and Olivia play together every day, everyone had almost forgotten that Olivia was just a servant.

"Diana, you can't publicly strip her clothes off like that. It's really inappropriate. You are a member of Thompson family and if this gets out, it will reflect poorly on our family," Serena said gently but with disapproval in her tone.

Diana tilted her head, "But if she just gave me back my clothes, I wouldn't have had to resort to that. She's just a servant and she's dressed more extravagantly than me. She's also pointing fingers in the Thompson household. What would people think of our family if this got out?"

Serena was taken aback by Diana's retort, but quickly regained her composure and said, "Diana has a point. Olivia, if Diana asks for her clothes back, just give them to her. Don't make a big deal out of it."

Diana rolled her eyes at Serena's words. What did Sereba mean by not making a big deal out of it? If that was the case, then Diana was going to make a big deal out of it!

Diana let out a sigh and then looked at James with a pitiful expression. "Dad, you only agreed to let Olivia come to the Thompsons' as a servant because Ms. Stewart said that her niece was hardworking and reliable. But it seems like that's not the case at all... If Ms. Stewart thinks that I'm competing with Olivia and that she's being mistreated as a servant at the Thompsons', then it's better if we just send her back home."

Colin chimed in, "That's right. The Thompsons don't need this one servant. If it's unpleasant, there's no need to force it."

Ben nodded in agreement, "I agree too."

Olivia panicked at the sudden turn of events. She didn't want to go back to that godforsaken place. Even if she had to clean toilets here, it was still better than being back home. "No, no, no, I'm not going back..." Olivia shook her head repeatedly and then grabbed onto Serena. "Auntie, I don't want to go back! I want to stay here!"

Serena was filled with anger. This foolish girl, why is she so stupid? Even more so than Diana!

Serena had a smile on her face as she spoke, "Dear, Olivia is still young and sometimes lacks discretion, but it's not serious enough to kick her out, is it?"

James remained quiet, his gaze falling on Diana. "Diana, this is between you two. How do you want to handle it?"

He wasn't confused; Olivia had clearly forgotten her place as a servant, and while it was understandable to discipline her, it wasn't necessary. Since she had clashed with Diana, it was up to Diana to handle her.

Diana smiled wryly with her hands behind her back as she looked at Olivia on the ground. Olivia was taken aback and quickly knelt before her, panicking, "Diana, I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted without thinking. Please don't kick me out. I really know I was wrong! I'm sorry..."

Diana frowned, "See, you still lack respect. How should you address me?"

"Miss... Miss Thompson."

"That's better!" Diana smiled and then showed a magnanimous expression, "Since you have admitted your mistake, I am not an unreasonable person. From now on, you will be under Ms. Taylor's management. Learn the rules well and if there's a next time..."

Diana stopped speaking, but her gloomy gaze made Olivia unable to meet her eyes.

"Yes, yes, I'll be sure to listen carefully!" Olivia nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, you can go now. Change into your black servant uniform and do your job properly." Upon hearing this, not only Olivia but also Serena's expression changed.

The Thompson household's servants were divided into three levels. Mr. Cooper and Ms. Taylor, who had served for many years, had custom-made uniforms. The servants in charge of the villa wore dark blue uniforms. The black uniform was for the lowest-ranking servants who were usually responsible for the kitchen and toilets outside the main house. Diana meant that Olivia was now the lowest-ranking servant in the Thompson family!

Although Diana had dealt with Olivia, Serena felt as though she had been slapped in the face. Her fingers that had been placed in her sleeve gradually tightened, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes. She had been the mistress of the Thompson family for four years, but James had always been indifferent to her. And now, Diana's words seemed more useful for managing the affairs of the Thompson household than her own!

However... Serena's gaze fell on Diana's face, and a great sense of confusion swept over her. Ever since returning from the hospital, Diana seemed like a completely different person. She used to be the one who listened to Serena and Maddie the most.

After dealing with the matter, James spoke to Diana privately about the Matthews family situation. Once he was sure that she wasn't acting on impulse and truly wanted to marry John Matthews, he finally felt at ease. As Diana left, she was immediately stopped by Ben.

Ben and Colin were waiting anxiously for her outside the door. "Diana, are you okay? Did Dad scold you?" Ben asked worriedly. Colin furrowed his brow and added, "Don't be afraid of the Matthews family situation. We'll face it together with you."

Feeling both helpless and touched by her two brothers' concern, Diana reached out and took hold of their arms, one on each side. "Dad didn't scold me, don't worry. I'll resolve the Matthews family matter. I'm not a child anymore!" she reassured them.

"In our eyes, you will always be a child," Colin affectionately touched her nose.

"Hmph, you're only one year older than me, and that's just because you're my brother," Diana retorted. Colin rarely spoke so much. In her memories, it had been a long time since they had spoken so happily.

"By the way, I want to go buy some clothes tomorrow. I'll go ask Dad for some pocket money."

Tomorrow, she was planning to meet John and wanted to dress up nicely. Although Olivia had returned her clothes, she didn't want to wear anything that Olivia had worn before. She planned to donate them to a charity instead.

Diana was about to go and find her dad, but Ben grabbed her arm. "Dad is still angry, don't go looking for him," he said.

"But the money..." Diana frowned.

As a student, she had no source of income. She used to receive a substantial allowance every month, but James had started limiting her expenses due to her increasingly reckless behavior. Now she was completely broke.

Ben was a trainee at a film company, and Colin was also a student, so they didn't have much money either.

"Hey, girl, look what I've got!" Ben reached into his pocket and pulled out a shiny card, waving it in front of her.

"A gold card?! Ben, how did you get this!" Diana was shocked and delighted.

"Andrew gave it to me before he left today and said if you need money, just use this card," Diana explained to her two older brothers.

"Oh right, how could she forget. Andrew has his own company and he's quite wealthy," she thought to herself.

"If it's not enough, Ben and I have saved up some allowance money that we can give you," Colin added.

"It's enough, more than enough!" Diana exclaimed as she held the gold card in her hand and hugged her two brothers tightly.

She couldn't help but think about how much of a jerk she was in her past life, rejecting her loving family and accepting evil people as her own. Colin also suffered a terrible fate in his previous life because of her. He had to give up his dreams and marry a rich girl he didn't even like just to fulfill his promise to Serena.

Diana felt a deep sense of regret for ruining their lives.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly saw the person she least wanted to see.

Maddie stood in the hallway, wearing a light pink dress and looking elegant. The dress was a gift from Andrew to Diana on her birthday, but she had later given it to Maddie. When she saw Diana, a look of concern crossed Maddie's face. "Diana, are you okay? I'm worried you might have a conflict with Mr. Thompson."

She walked over, intending to take Diana's hand, but noticed that she was holding onto Ben and Colin with both hands. Maddie withdrew her own hand.

Ignoring Maddie's hesitation, Diana said, "I'm fine. My dad forgave me."

"Really? That's great!" Maddie put on a happy face before adding, "Diana, I need to talk to you about something. Can we talk in private?"

Ben didn't look pleased at the prospect of Diana being alone with Maddie. He worried she might come up with something bad again.

Diana had finally returned to her normal self, and Ben didn't want her to revert back to her rebellious and unruly ways. "You can say anything you want to say here," he said.

Maddie hesitated, "Ben, there are some things that are better left unsaid in front of everyone else, especially between girls." Ben was slightly annoyed by her words, but he held back his frustration, considering Diana's affectionate behavior towards Maddie.

Maddie waved towards Diana, "Come over here, Diana." In the past, every time Maddie beckoned, Diana would come running over like an excited puppy. This time, however, Diana pouted and looked at Ben and Colin, "I finally get to spend time with my brothers, and I have so much to catch up with you guys about!"

Maddie's actions froze as she heard Diana's words. She had sensed that something was off with Diana during the day, and now her suspicions had grown even stronger.

However, the next moment, Diana let go of Ben and Colin and said, "But Maddie is also important. I'll go find her first!"

"Okay, then we'll go back to our room and rest early," Colin nodded towards Ben and pulled him along.

Maddie happily took Diana's hand and felt relieved. It seemed that she was overthinking things. As she looked at the faint smile on Maddie's lips, Diana turned her head and a cold glare flashed in her eyes. In her past life, Maddie played both sides and made a fool out of her. This life, Diana will make her taste what it feels like to be manipulated!
