Chapter 85 - Stepping Ahead (2/2)

“I understand that.”

“Ah… well, the Young Lady is wise.”

Well, for Diana, the world was far from unhappiness. Although she had lost her parents at a young age, Diana was raised in an environment where she didn’t know what real misery was. It was also true that her small hands had never lifted anything heavier than pens, nor had she ever seen the capital city’s back alleys.

“Back to the point, um… have you told me that this report is bizarre?”

Diana nodded.

“The girl named Trisha Blanc herself seems nothing special. At least up to what’s written in this report. But it’s unusual for the Young Lady to receive a report about this girl and ask me for my opinion.”

Indeed, Jerome was quick to talk.

“I mean, a girl with common misfortunes has something to note.”

He was also clever.

“Do I just need to know that?”

Diana did not answer, but that was a positive sign.

“Do you have any hints?” Diana’s mouth, which had been shut for quite a while, finally opened. “Give me your thoughts on this.”

Jerome was rarely surprised, but now, his face showed a bit of embarrassment with a mixture of surprise.

“I think you are as smart as a police officer in giving clues,” Diana said.

Jerome’s lips curled up. While Diana’s words sounded gentle, beneath it was authority. Jerome’s curiosity was aroused along with his excitement to be paid. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had a new request. I’ll take it.”

“Thank you.”

Jerome rose from his seat without delay, but before he left, he said, “This is just to let you know as a service.”

Diana looked at Jerome with a curious look.

“When I walked past the gate, Duchess Carl was making a scene.”

Not everything was in Diana’s grasp yet. Aaron, who had a special affection for Diana’s late father, may not

be, but Sylvia, his wife, had become a threat to Diana.

“It’s not the information you’d like to pay for.”

Diana smiled. She never recognized Sylvia as an enemy since this uncultivated and ravenous woman would be of no match before her.

“Yes, I think it was not worth it.”

Jerome was quick to take action, and as always, he suddenly disappeared without further ado. Again, Diana was left alone.

Her mind was now acting strangely. In her previous life, she spent time only by savoring milk tea, which was by no means insignificant. It was also well worth the time.

“Now, I won’t give you the lead.”

What Diana needed now was a sense of reality, not emotion. Fate had begun to ensue. Evil cannot be erased. Diana had to look ahead.
