Chapter 1131
This implied that Diana lacked self-awareness, and wasn't a suitable match for Julian at all.
"Whether Julian and I are a match or Noel and Ms. Jarvis are a match, it has nothing to do with you. It's solely up to
the parties involved," Diana stated firmly.
Sue listened, and chuckled coldly. "It's truly appalling that even a mistress like you can shamelessly say so much in
front of me, the Fulchers' prospective mother-in-law. Diana Winnington, you better know your place! Cecilia will
definitely marry Mr. Fulcher and become Mrs. Fulcher!"
"Doesn't it matter who your daughter truly loves? Doesn't her happiness matter to you?"
Sue had her own convictions. "Why wouldn't it matter? A woman is happier when she marries well, far better than
marrying poorly."
"What does it mean to marry well?"
"Of course..." Sue began, but then changed her tone. "I don’t need to tell you so much. As long as you understand
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyour place! Don't become a mistress that everyone scorns!"
Diana, despite hearing all these harsh words, remained calm and composed. "Not necessarily. I won't become a
mistress, but your daughter on the other hand..."
Her voice trailed, as if she dared not continue speaking.
Sue smiled, and offered a judgment. "I knew it. A daughter that the Winningtons themselves refuse to acknowledge
can't hold her head high."
Hearing her mention the Winningtons, Diana's expression changed subtly. She cleared her throat. Then, without
hesitation, she took a mirror out of her bag and aimed it at her cheek.
She asked Sue casually, "Have you seen the marks on my face?"
"Of course I've seen them,” Sue sneered, as if mocking Diana's audacity.
Diana had been slapped, but she still had the nerve to flaunt herself in front of her. If it were Sue, she would have
hidden and avoided people altogether.
In the end, Diana simply lacked shame. If she had any sense of shame, she wouldn’t be clinging to Julian like this.
Sue felt that even sitting here with Diana tainted the Jarvis family's long-standing etiquette and reputation.
"There’s nothing more to say between us," Sue said firmly.
Conversing further with such a shameless fool would only further mar her dignity. With that, Sue attempted to get
up and leave.
However, Diana stopped her, and spoke louder than before," Now that you've seen it, can others see it too?"
Sue's eyes widened, and she looked at Diana with slight anger.
"What do you mean by that, Ms. Winnington?"
"Ms. Jarvis of the Jarvis family appears dignified and elegant, yet she resorted to violence against me, causing my
face to look like this. Say, what would others say if they
knew about this?" Diana smiled, looking quite threatening.
The marks on Diana's face were evidence.
"Some might say Ms. Jarvis was angry, while others might say she went mad," Diana continued. "Which one do you
think would attract more attention and spread faster?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSue quickly caught on. "Are you threatening me?"
Diana nodded. "Yes. And this slap mark on my face? I willingly let Cecilia strike me, and she did. If you don't believe
me, you can ask her."
Who would willingly let someone hit them?
Sue narrowed her eyes, her expression filled with confusion.
"Why would you do this?"
Sue was almost where Diana wanted her.
Diana had anticipated every question and look from Sue. She shrugged nonchalantly, and gave the reason she had
long prepared in her heart.
"Because this is the only way I can have evidence to make everyone gossip. It's the only way to make you Jarvises
cancel the engagement willingly. To put it plainly, if you disagree, I'll spread the word that Ms. Jarvis has gone mad
far and wide. Julian may be unwilling to harm Ms. Jarvis's reputation, as I'm sure you've figured it out by now, but..."
She touched her cheek where the red mark stood out brightly, her smile bordering on madness.
"I, Diana Winnington, am definitely capable and willing to do so!"
