Chapter 80 A Different Kind of Romance (4)_1
Seeing this, she knew it was time for her to launch a full assault.
She secretly instructed her friends that if she was with Nicholas Coldwell, they should show him warmth. However, if he was alone with them, they should give him the cold shoulder, making him realize that to advance his position, he had to be with her.
Sure enough, Nicholas Coldwell began to understand.
With her consideration and care, Nicholas Coldwell slowly and imperceptibly began to distance himself from Julia Bluen, growing closer to Diana. However, Nicholas Coldwell truly had feelings for Julia Bluen and couldn’t bear to end their relationship abruptly. That was why he had kept his affair with Diana a secret from Julia Bluen.
It was only after they became intimate while sober that they acknowledged their mutual desire, each taking what they needed from the relationship. Having lost her virginity, Diana was unwilling to remain hidden any longer. She resolved to snatch Nicholas Coldwell completely away from Julia Bluen. After all, she, Diana Powell, was a daughter of the Powell Family and the successor to Cosmos Group. Hence, she suggested marriage. She thought Nicholas Coldwell would hesitate, but to her surprise, he confessed he had fallen deeply in love with her and no longer held any love for Julia Bluen. He agreed to marry her and even promised he would cherish her for a lifetime, making her the happiest woman in the world.
In truth, she knew Nicholas Coldwell couldn’t let go of Julia Bluen. But women are easily swayed by sweet words, and after his persuasion, she believed him.
When they were deciding on a wedding date, Nicholas Coldwell told her that since he had been in love with Julia Bluen for three years, he didn’t want to embarrass her face-to-face, so he kept the wedding date a secret from Julia. When it was time for the wedding, Nicholas Coldwell coaxed Julia Bluen into taking a few days off to rest. This was right when the Finance Department was particularly busy. Julia Bluen had been working overtime until eleven or twelve each night, so his words made her believe he was being considerate and caring. After finishing her demanding work, she immediately asked her director for a few days off to rest.
Who would have thought...
The thought of it made a fresh wave of jealousy toward Julia Bluen surge from the depths of Diana Powell’s heart. That damn Julia Bluen! She turned out to be the second daughter of the Bluen Family consortium. She rarely appeared in Upper Class Society and wasn’t recognized by anyone without a particularly distinguished status. Diana Powell always attended Upper Class Society wine parties and other social events, but she had never seen the true face of the second Miss Bluen. The revelation struck her dumbfounded.
「Over in T City, the sky was still overcast, with no rainbow appearing after the earlier rain. Not long after, it began to rain again.」
