Chapter 59: Scuffle

Everyone turned to the direction of Diana, who stood right at the door, aloof, with the seven burly men, standing behind her.

She wore a smile on her face, Mr. Henson flew into rage at the sight of the girl, who didn't only ruin his day, but crumbled all his plans “guards! Guards!” he screamed at the top of his voice.

Diana crunched her eyebrows and a smile crept on her face, she looked at her uncle like he is a clown, “can you keep your voice down? No one is going to come and throw me out because, this mansion, is now my property” she informed them.

Their mouths hung open, big enough to fit in three eggs, Philip stood there, without knowing what to do.

He didn't know if he could beg Diana to forgive him, and still accept him to be her fiancé, all his plans have been ruin, how can he take over the company if Diana claimed everything?

Diana clasped her palm and chuckled, “I know you will be stunned, but I didn't expect you all will go dumb immediately”

Mikael broke the ice with a shout, “what!” he exclaimed, looking shock ridden.

“You are just spouting nonsense, this house can't be yours, this is the Westley family house, my father's house” Mr. Henson tried to convince himself, like he is saying the correct thing.

A bulgy vein appeared on his forehead, Mrs. Henson frown deepened, “what nonsense! Diana, if you think you can go about stealing the Westley properties because you are the C.E.O of the corporation, just wake up, this property will force the entire family to court, think about it”

They all look furious, and ready to pounce on her, but the sight of the burly men behind her, scared them to their wits.

Mr. Henson gritted his teeth “show me the evidence that this is yours, I can't just accept the entire mansion is yours” his entire body tremble.

Diana checked her wristwatch like she wasn't the one referred to, the door opened, and the lawyer in charge of the Westley family housing entered.

A short fat man, with puffy cheeks, and little eyes, his nose bridge stood high, and spectacles hang on it.

With his neatly ironed white long sleeves, and his black trouser, he exuded the aura of a scholar, and someone who has done remarkable things.

The moment Mr. Henson set his eyes on him, he ran to him like a child, whose father held a candy.

“Mr. Sun” he called his name, and stood right to him, his entire body shaken.

His wife also wore a charming smile, they all look set to cozy to the lawyer, for a bit of favor, to couldn't afford to leave the mansion, that they have lived all their life in.

Diana lips curled up, and she folded her arms, chuckling “Good evening, Ma, you called me” he greeted Diana, who stood there, without making any attempt to cozy to him.

Mr. Henson and Mrs. Henson were taken aback, they looked blankly, their facial expressions twisted “yes, I did, please have a seat” Diana told him, and she, occupied another.

Mr. and Mrs. Henson looked like a stranger in the Westley family house, even their two children, stood, afraid to anger Diana the more, they had the thought of returning the hands of the clock.

When Diana was at their mercy, they wouldn't have mistreated, and ridicule her, making her feel terribly bad that ran out of the house.

Mr. Henson glared at Philip, in his mind, Philip is the reason Diana was behaving this way, he forced a smile, that made him look ugly.

His facial expression twisted several times, his lips quake, even his hands

“Diana, there is no need of inviting the lawyer, this is a family matter, we should settle it amicably, why don't you send Mr. Sun away, while we can talk as family, Olivier quickly kneel and tell your sister, that you are sorry for taking away her fiancé so that you could return him to her”

Philip after hearing what Mr. Henson said, he started being smug, so she isn't doing on this for that puke? He would have reacted badly, but didn't, that will save him the stress of begging Diana.

“Father!” Olivier called out to her father, feeling embarrassed, Mr. Henson became angrier “shut up! Just did as I have instructed” he scolded her.

Olivier lowered her head, and clenched her fists, she raised her head and looked straight at Diana who sat calmly, without revealing any of her thoughts.

“Never!” she hollered aggressively.

Mr. Henson frown deepened “I have failed to discipline you, I am your father, and you are disobeying me, has it come to this?” he hollered, his face red as a tomato.

His chest heaves wildly, and his eyelids fluttered involuntarily, the atmosphere in the room was so tense,

Mrs. Henson put an arm around his shoulder to calm her furious husband “honey, she will do as you have instructed, don't stress yourself much”

Olivier shook her head, “I am not going to do that, I will never bow to Diana mother,

what will happen if she is the C.E.O, my fiancé here is the son of the Orchard family” she stubbornly disagreed, and roped her arm around Philip's arm.

Philip face darkened, and he pulled his hand away, “get your hands off me” he growled at her, glaring at her fiercely.

The colors on Olivier face drained, even Mr. Henson and Mrs. Henson were startled by his reaction, Mikael who have lost to his sister in the presidential bid gloated over her misfortune.

Olivier regained her senses and trotted forward, “Philip, what is the matter? Why are you yelling at me? Am I not your fiancée?”

She barraged him with questions, Philip realized he has overreacted, and tried to douse the situation

“it isn't so, Olivier, it is just that, I don't tolerate children going against their parents, quickly, apologize to Diana, and all this will be over”
