Chapter 291
Kate had become very worked up the moment Diana posed that question.
If Kate had defended Diana valiantly, even once, Kate would have remembered it for a lifetime. She would tell her
babies that their grandmother also loved her dearly.
But that was impossible.
Kate only wanted to defend one person, and that was Kayla. Diana would be the only one Kate always wanted
to belittle.
Before Diana could say anything, James shot Kate a look and said, “What’s with you? It’s not unusual to want to
know who she’s marrying. It’s completely normal!”
Before turning back to Diana, he gestured for Kate to sit down and not interrupt. With the same kind look, he said,
“Child.”
The term he used made Diana physically uncomfortable, and she resisted the urge to throw up. “You can just
call me Diana.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe kept calling James ‘you‘. How rude!
He was her father!
James was upset and breathed angrily through his nostrils like a bill, but he did his best to smoothen his expression.
“Diana, it’s hard for any family in Richburgh to compare to the Fulchers. The only one that could is the Channing
family, but we don’t have enough to offer them.”
Even though the Winningtons were well–off, they were considered to be only a second–rated wealthy family.
Compared to the prosperous Fulchers and Channings, it was not enough.
“But what we can give you isn’t that bad either.”
Diana smiled, and acted as though she was interested. “Which family is it?”
“The Pabians,” James replied and observed Diana’s expression. “You don’t have to worry. I’ve already spoken to
them, and if you’re willing to marry into their family, you don’t have to worry about money for the rest of your life.
Though they’re not as well–off as the Fulchers, they have enough to let you live a life that’s a hundred times better
than when you were a child.”
So, James was well aware of how unpleasant her childhood had been.
Diana’s eyes only grew harder as the conversation went on. There was no hint of gentleness or warmth in them;
instead, a deep sense of mockery.
“You want me to marry Luke Pabian?”
“What are you thinking?” Kate couldn’t help but interrupt again. “Regardless of how he is, Luke is still part of the
Pabian family and highly valued. If he were to marry, he wouldn’t marry someone like you, a divorceel looking to
remarry! We’re talking about Luke’s grandfather!”
Diana was speechless. Luke was a scum who had left psychological trauma in her heart and had an even worse
reputation. Julian had also crippled him personally.
And yet, Kate and James felt Diana wasn’t even worth someone like that scum?
They really…
Didn’t see her as their daughter at all, did they…?
As for Luke’s grandfather, Diana knew better. Since her kidnapping, Diana had briefly investigated the Pabian
family.
If Luke was scum, then the old man was a strict, rigid old scum. He was stubborn and shameless his entire life, and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad harmed countless women. If Luke’s father hadn’t taken charge of the Pabian family, it would have turned into a
hollow husk long ago.
In short, Luke’s grandfather was a hundred times worse than Luke.
Even in such old age, he was still restless.
She heard the old man chasing after a young university beauty some time ago. He spent a lot of money to get her,
but he didn’t expect her to be from a wealthy businessman’s family in the south. Their family taught the Pabians a
lesson through business when they found out about it, but the old man still refused to give up. He secretly
intercepted the girl and even undressed her…
Anyway, the point was that he was the scum of all scum and shameless of all shameless.
But such an old, disrespectful man was a savior for Diana’s life in Kate and James‘ eyes!
How absurd!
Right now, Diana wanted to ask why they had given birth to her in the first place if they didn’t love her.
Her cheeks burned red with anger. With how the fury simmered under her skin, she felt as though her face
was on fire.
James, however, thought that the red on her cheeks was her blushing and that they had made good progress. “If
you marry him, we’ll also acknowledge and recognize you as our eldest daughter. You’ll be able to live with the
proper identity as a lady from the Winnington family.”
Proper identity?
