Chapter 22 Nightmare
“Dirty! Howard spat out, his voice icy.
He’d done some digging on the Getty family and found out all sorts of dirt, especially the affair between Laura and Robert.
Thinking about Robert, Howard glanced at Diana, his eyes growing even colder, making her feel uneasy.
Laura, lying on the ground, turned even paler.
“Mr. Spencer, how can you call me dirty!” Laura cried, covering her face with tears streaming down. I’m just not feeling well. Mr. Spencer, can you help me upt
Laura’s weak act made a lot of guys feel sorry for her, silently curving Howard for being so heartless.
Howard’s face stayed cold, not even giving Laura a second look. Instead, he turned back to Diana, gently holding her hand. “Are you tired?” he asked softly.
Diana blinked and then leaned into Howard’s arms with a sweet smile. “Yes,” she said tenderly.
“Then let g
go home With that, Howard wrapped his arm around Diana’s waist and walked right past Laura.
Laura watched them leave with longing eyes, feeling furious that Diana had outshone her
Her eyes turned red, and the glared venomously at Diana’s retreating figure
Suddenly, Laura scrambled up from the ground and staggered towards Howard, but the security at the door stopped her
‘Laura!” Aiden
and Emily finally pushed through the crowd and saw Laura standing there, dirty and forlorn, looking pitiful.
“Laura, where’s Mr. Spencer? Aiden asked, looking around but not seeing anyone,
“Gone,” Laura pouted, tears falling
“Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not keeping br. Spencer. And Diana, she saw me fall and still held Mr. Spencer back from helping me.” Laura’s tears flowed even more.
“That bitch again!” Emily gritted her teeth in anger.
Seeing Laura cry so sadly, Emily quickly hugged her and comforted her softly, “Laura, don’t cry. We’ll get another chance.
“Okay.” Laura leaned weakly into Emily’s arms, but a vicious glint flashed in her eyes.
Dana, you dare to ruin my plans. Next time, I’ll make sure you suffer!‘ Laura thought.
Meanwhile, Diana was so exhausted that she fell asleep as soon as she got in the car
Howard drove attentively, occasionally glancing at Diana, the neon lights of the night market casting a mesmerizing glow on her peaceful sleeping fare.
Howard’s lips curled up in a pleased smile as he watched Diana’s serene and pure sleeping fare.
When the car silently pulled into the parking lot of the Spencer Villa, Diana was still asleep.
Howard called her softly a few times but couldn’t wake her, so he had to carry her back to rest.
After settling Diana in, Howard walked out of the room to find Sophia standing in the living room, looking at him with a stem expression.
“What’s wrong with Diana? How are you taking care of her?‘ Sophia’s anger flared as soon as she saw Howard, bombarding him with questions
Grandma, you’re so biased. Howard felt helpless. Ever since he married Diana, his status in Sophia’s eyes had plummeted.
Sophia shot Howard a fierce lock, “Don’t talk nonsense. Diana saved my life, and she’s had it rough. Can’t I show her more concern?”
“Alright, alright.” Howard reluctantly helped Sophia back to her room. “Grundma, for the sake of your favorite granddaughter–in–law, shouldn’t you get some rest? If she sees you looking tired tomorrow, shell worry.”
“You’re such a smooth talker” Sophia glared at him and warned, “Don’t keep that cold face all the time. If you scare away such a good wife, you’ll regret it.”

“You’ve suffered and still plead for Howard,” Sophia said, turning to glare at Howard.
