Chapter 71 Jessica's Trapped, a Dangerous Situation
"Sis."
Across from the young girl, who was holding the phone with her head and peeling an apple at the same time, when she received the call.
"Lillian, it's me."
"Sis, what are you talking about? Of course, I know it's you! By the way, you've been gone for so long, and this is the first time you've called me. Do you know? Dad and Mom really miss you. When are you coming home?" The girl's voice was clear and lively.
Diana tightly squeezed the phone, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Ever since her car accident, when her legs became limpparalyzed, her status in the Bush family had plummeted. Meanwhile, Lillian, who was extremely ordinary and couldn't compare to her sister in any way, had become the apple of the Bush family's eye and received endless love and favor.
Just thinking about this made Diana seethe with anger.
But in order to solve her urgent problem, she still tried to suppress her feelings and speak in a gentle tone.: "Lillian, I've encountered a bit of trouble and need one million dollars. Can you lend it to me? I'll pay you back in a little while."
Upon hearing this, Lillian immediately became anxious. "Sis, what happened? Why do you suddenly need so much money?"
Naturally, Diana didn't want to reveal the truth and deliberately gave a vague response. "Don't worry, I'm fine. As long as one million dollars is deposited, this matter will be resolved."
"Alright, sis, don't worry. I'll go get it for you from Dad, just wait a bit."
"Okay, please do it as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Diana's palms were sweaty.
She felt as if she had exerted all the strength in her body.
About ten minutes later, Lillian called back. "Sis, I have the money from Dad. I'll transfer it to you shortly. But sis, can you promise me one thing?"
"What do you want me to promise you?" Diana immediately frowned.
She knew that Lillian wasn't as simple as she seemed.
Sure enough, she was already starting to lay down conditions so quickly.
"It's just," Lillian was a bit embarrassed, "Dad has arranged a blind date for me. I don't like that person, so I want you to help me get rid of him. You just have to send that person away."
"That's it?" Diana raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, that's it."
"Alright."
After agreeing to the condition, the money arrived quickly.
Diana proudly handed the card to the server in front of Grace and Jessica. "Swipe the card."
"Alright, Miss."
With a beep, the payment was successful.
Diana extended her slender fingers and carefully touched the diamond ring on her hand, radiating arrogance and showiness.
Especially the expression on her face, it was overly proud.
Grace smiled and said, "If I were the brand, I would definitely be extremely grateful to Msr. Bush. These goods have been sitting in storage for years, and I never thought they would sell. It's truly a miracle."
"What did you say?" Diana was instantly furious and glared at the clerk. "Is everything she said true? Is this ring from several years ago?"
The clerk smiled and explained, "Msr. Bush, this is our classic design."
Diana's anger started to boil. She had spent a million dollars on a ring that was outdated and a mere stock item. To make matters worse, the brand claimed it was a classic design. She felt like crying and regretted her decision.
When Diana's gaze shifted towardstoward Jessica, she immediately responded defiantly, "I really like this classic ring, and I believe not only me, but Gabriel would also love it."
Jessica smiled and replied, "Diana might not know this, but Gabriel made a vow on Xavier's hospital bed that he would never divorce me."
"What are you sayingdid you say?" Diana's face turned pale.
"It's impossible for him not to get divorced. You're lying to me."
Although the whole story about Diana coming to buy a ring today was a fabrication, a scheme she devised herself just to put on a show for Jessica and force her to back down, Diana never anticipated Gabriel's vow.
Gabriel was a man of his word, and if he made such a vow, it meant that everything that followed... Diana couldn't even dare think about it.
This news struck herwas like a bolt of lightning from the clear blue sky for her, instantly destroying all her efforts.
"With such a classic ring and at such a high price, Diana should really take good care of it."
Jessica smiled, her expression warm and her tone gentle, effortlessly crushing Diana's spirit.
It wasn't until Jessica and Grace left that Diana gritted her teeth, revealing a malicious and fierce gaze.
Her eyes were filled with intense animosity, completely unmasked.
"Jessica, if you dare play games with me, I won't let you off easy."
"Just wait and see."
"If I can't win Gabriel back, then I refuse to be called Diana Bush.”"
Suddenly, Rou looked towardstoward the direction Grace had left and exclaimed, "Diana, I remember her."
"She's Grace, the celebrity."
"You mean the woman we just saw was a celebrity?" Diana asked in disbelief.
Rou nodded, "Yes, it was that celebrity, Grace."
"Is she famous?"
Diana usually paid no attention to the entertainment industry, so she didn't recognize any celebrities.
"She's quite popular, the hottest movie star recently, just selected as one of the recognized four actresses, with a large fan base."
Diana smiled, but her smile was chilling. "Good, that makes things easier." "Rou," Diana beckoned with her hand. Rou immediately came over. After giving her instructions, Diana gently patted her shoulder.
"Alright, Rou, go and take care of it. The sooner, the better. We have a big show coming up soon."
"Okay, Diana, you wait." On the way there, Rou was extremely pleased.
After all, they had just humiliated her and Diana, and now it was her chance for revenge. And the scene would be absolutely shocking. Jessica and Grace had dinner together at the mall.
After dinner, as they were about to take the elevator to the parking lot, they suddenly found the entire mall surrounded by people, no way out. Grace's phone was ringing incessantly, it was Linda calling. "Grace, it's not looking good. Your location has been leaked, fans have recognized you, and now a large number of fans are surrounding you in the mall."
"Find a safe place to hide, don't move aroundgo anywhere, we'll send someone to pick you up immediately."
Grace, having experienced lots of setbacks, remained relatively calm upon receiving the news. But now she was worried about Jessica. She was pregnant, and this situation was not favorable for her at all. What if the fans disregarded everything and crowded around Jessica? Grace shook her head, not daring to think about the consequences.
"Jessica, the situation is critical now, and you're pregnant. I'll have someone take you out first, I'll only feel relieved when you're safe." Jessica looked at the crowded people outside the thick window, feeling far from optimistic.
"Grace, in this situation, I might not be able to get out."
