"Understood?"
Noel nodded. "I got it, sir."
"As for the person behind the landlord..." Julian glanced up at Noel with a sharp gaze. "Look into it too. Find out why
he suddenly came out to make trouble."
The location of Diana's studio was good, but the sudden increase of rent that was obviously way beyond market
price was too sudden. There had to be someone pulling the strings behind the scene.
Noel noted Julian's instructions and said, "By the way, sir. Recently, Miss Kayla has been asking to see you..."
Julian immediately recalled Kayla putting on makeup that made her appear similar to Diana, and snapped, "No."
Now that he had already decided to stay away, it was better to let Kayla to give up completely, lest she try to turn
the tables on Diana and attempt something ridiculous again.

She had been searching for new investors to make up for the shortfall and quickly get new fabric for orders to start
production. But because her investment requirements were strict and everything had to be in the best interest of
Fanny, many potential investors were unwilling to invest.
One day, a call finally came in. The person on the other end asked," Madam, is that you?"
Madam...
It hadn't been a long time since her divorce, but suddenly hearing this title made her feel like those times were a
world away.
Diana nodded, and her breathing became noticeably ragged as she replied, "Noel?"
Noel hummed in reply. When he heard her unhappy tone, he added, "Yes, it's me."
This was the first time Diana had spoken to Noel after what happened to her babies.
Diana felt her heart tighten, and she asked, "Your father... Is he doing well?"
Noel didn't think too much of it, and he was even a little touched that she remembered the old man.
"He gave you so much grief, yet you still care about him. You're very thoughtful, Madam."
Diana was speechless. For the first time, she felt that Noel and Julian were alike in terms of recognizing good and
bad intentions.
She wasn't worried about Mr. Carter the slightest! She simply wanted to know how that man was doing and if he
could sleep at night after doing such heinous things to her.
But Noel was obviously touched, and he sounded even more guilty as he added, "Madam, if you ever need me in
the future, I'll never refuse you!"
Diana was caught off guard by his words, and didn't know where to start refuting him. In the end, she decided to
retort on how he addressed her first.
"Noel, I've already divorced Julian. There's no reason for you to keep calling me Madam. As for Mr. Carter-"
"I'm sorry!" Noel was suddenly nervous and he interrupted Diana. "Please don't be angry, Madam. I won't call you

She knew it! It was Julian who had gotten Noel to call her, all just to anger her!
Diana's tone immediately became worse as she demanded, "What is it this time?"
She was so swamped with work these days, and she didn't have the time or energy to care about that blasted man.
"You've recently encountered problems with your funding, and sir wants to help you out."
Diana's grip on her phone tightened. "Is he still spying on me?!’
Noel heard the displeasure in her tone, and hastily changed his words. "No, that's not it! It was a coincidence that
sir heard about it!"
Coincidence?
Diana didn't believe there was so much coincidence in the world, much less one that kept happening to Julian, who
was president of such a big group and wouldn't have time to bother about her small studio.
"You still don't know how to lie, Noel," Diana said. "Tell Mr. Fulcher that I don't need him to take me for a fool, and
that I don't need his help!"
With that said, she hung up and blocked Noel's number.
When Noel couldn't get through to her anymore, he knew he had royally screwed up.
He felt as anxious as an ant on fire, and knew he had to report this matter to Julian.
