A Trust-fund Baby novel Chapter 20

Judson was sleepless all night. He stood on the balcony, drinking beer and smoking...

"Ah... It's been a year, I still have to leave... It's really hard to give up. Diana, you must be happy in the future, although your husband won't be me..." Judson muttered.

Judson couldn't help thinking back to his high school days. At that time, Diana would share her snacks with him. When he was bullied by gangsters, Diana protected him and used mobile phone to call the police...

"I said I want to protect you for the rest of my life. I said I would be with you all my life. But I finally understand that love is not just a wishful thinking. I'm sorry, I'm leaving. I hope you are happy... You must be happy." Judson took a big gulp of beer...

...

At 8 o'clock the next morning, Lucrezia, who was also sleepless all night, rushed to Diana's house early in the morning.

"Diana, I’m telling you a good news. I finally met Bruce of Ray Group yesterday and talked with him for a long time. He finally agreed to continue to cooperate with us! And, the suppliers who worked with us before have also renewed their contracts..." Lucrezia said to Diana pretending to be excited.

Diana was stunned for a moment, but then she was full of joy, "Really? That's great! Our company could be saved..." A smile appeared on Diana's face, but there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

Seeing Diana smiling happily, Lucrezia's emotion was mixed, "Diana, you are really stupid. Do you really think I have such a great ability? Judson did it for you..." Thinking of Judson's instructions, Lucrezia held back what she wanted to say.

"What's wrong with you, Lucrezia? Our company is back to life, you should be happy... How do I feel that you are not very glad?" Diana noticed something wrong with Lucrezia.

Lucrezia hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "I'm happy, and there is something happier. I have got a lunch chance at the five-star crystal hotel in the lottery. Hurry up, I will help you make-up. Let's go quickly. It will start at 10 o'clock..."

"Crystal Palace? Really? How lucky you are! OK, I'll change my clothes now... " Diana was also happy for her friends.

Then she started to change several clothes but they were all rejected by Lucrezia for various reasons. Finally, under Lucrezia's persuasion, Diana put on a white strapless dress and a pair of white high heels.

Diana looked at herself in the mirror, frowned and said, " Lucrezia, this skirt with white shoes makes me look like a bride..."

Lucrezia's heart trembled, "What are you thinking about? Hurry away..." Then she took Diana out.
