Chapter 999
However, he was cold about it.
He didn't rush to Diana's side the moment he saw her. He didn't look at her with worry, nor did he pull her in his
arms immediately.
He didn't even call a doctor to tend her wounds.
He was like a high and mighty deity, with a bright halo around him. Diana’s hope and expectations for him
shattered into little pieces.
His first show of concern was for Cecilia. "Are you alright?"
Diana’s fists clenched tighter, and the muscles on her face were tense. She bit her lips and looked down in silence,
refusing to watch Julian showing Cecilia concern.
It was too painful for her.
She was clearly the one on the floor, suffering under Cecilia's hands.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCecilia was the one who made a move on her. Yet now, Julian was most concerned about Cecilia.
"I'm okay." Cecilia shook her head, pulling Julian toward Diana and stopping before her. She looked at Diana and
said, "But I hit Diana, and I even dragged her around on the floor."
She didn't look apologetic at all as she explained the situation to Julian, bold and unassuming. She even gestured to
Julian with her arms and legs, reenacting the situation to him.
"I dragged her like this," Cecilia said. "I was dragging her for quite a while. She only woke up because I hit her head
before dragging her out of the bed."
She said it calm and indifferently, yet the words were chilling.
Diana's eyes widened. She instinctively wanted to rub her head.
However, her hands and legs were still tied up. She couldn't touch her head. She could only look up and stare at
Julian.
She thought he would immediately rush to her side and check on her, but he didn't.
Instead, he listened seriously to Cecilia as she said, "I don't feel so terrible seeing her in such pain."
Her voice became shrill as she went on hysterically, "Diana's the one to blame! If it weren't for her, you wouldn't
have splashed paint on me! She deliberately schemed against me!"
Her words were a heart-wrenching accusation against Diana.
"Noel!" Julian shouted.
He didn't even spare Diana a glance after Cecilia's tirade. He simply called for Noel to watch over Cecilia.
After he conveyed his instructions to Noel, he walked to
Diana and slowly untied her. She was tied so tightly, it left red marks on her body.
Julian looked down, hiding the pain in his eyes.
He kept himself under control. He glanced at Cecilia, who had calmed down with Noel's comforting. However, she
remained stubbornly at the door and kept staring at them, refusing to leave.
Julian wanted to check if Diana's back was injured, but quickly retracted his hand.
"Get the doctor here," he said to Diana. "If my fiancee sees me caring too much for you, she'll get upset."
With that, he instructed the servants to help Diana up.

Not to mention a word of concern, comfort, or even seeking justice for her.
Diana couldn't hold herself back anymore. "Cecilia..."
"I was negligent," Julian said, cutting her off. He bore the responsibility of what had happened. "I disregarded what
you told Layla. I didn’t expect her to attack you like this. I won't allow this to happen a second time. At night..."
He looked at Cecilia and added, 'Til personally watch over her."
Watch over her at night?
How?
By being in the same room as her?
Diana's worries were turning into reality right before her. Or rather, what she was previously worried about by
letting Julian take care of Cecilia had come true the moment
Julian agreed to getting engaged to Cecilia.
He chose to take full responsibility for Cecilia, and paid the price with his entire life.
He didn’t want Diana anymore.
The pain of Julian becoming another woman's fiance finally hit Diana in the head, and slowly spread to her heart.
At that instant, that belated sense of pain suffocated her.
