Chapter 0571
It was clear that Elliot and Diana couldn’t stand each other–á dynamic that completely caught Suzy off guard.
Both Elliot and Diana were usually easygoing people, yet somehow, when put together, they managed to spark endless arguments.
What was this? Like charges repelling each other?
After a lengthy effort to mediate, Suzy finally got them to quiet down.
Turning to Diana, she said, “Diana, it’s not that I don’t want you to come, but it’s genuinely dangerous over there.”
“That just makes me want to go even more,” Diana replied firmly. “I may not be able to do much, but I want to see for myself that you’re safe. Don’t worry, I promise I won’t be a burden. Whatever you say, I’ll follow.”
Grabbing Suzy’s hand, she added with a playful pout, “Sis, please? Pretty please? It’s been so Tong since I last saw you, and I’ve missed you so much!”
Suzy sighed, clearly torn. “But it really isn’t safe.”
“I’m not afraid!” Diana clung to her hand, refusing to let go. “I really want to go, Sis!”
“Fine, fine…” Suzy finally relented, helpless against Diana’s persistence. “You can come.”
“Yay!” Diana cheered like a child, even sticking her tongue out at Elliot in a teasing, triumphant gesture.
Elliot was thoroughly exasperated. If it weren’t for his policy of never hitting women, he’d have been tempted to grab this troublesome girl and give her a piece of his mind.
“Mentor, even if she’s coming, she’ll have to take the next flight. Ours is about to take off.‘
The moment he finished, Diana turned to Dylan. “Here’s your chance to redeem yourself.”
Dylan immediately caught her meaning and instructed Desmond, “Book her a ticket–make sure she’s seated next to Suzy.”
Desmond responded promptly, “On it!”
In this day and age, money really could solve everything. A little cash, and there wasn’t much one couldn’t accomplish.
In the end, Diana was happily seated next to Suzy on the plane, much to Elliot’s frustration.
But what truly infuriated Elliot came next–Dylan had decided to join them as well.
Under the pretense of “being worried about Diana,” Dylan joined the trip.

Elliot was speechless.
What could he say without outright cursing?
After taking countless deep breaths, he barely managed to suppress the fury bubbling up inside.
If he had known there’d be no avoiding this mess, he wouldn’t have bothered scheming in the first place. Now, he was stuck, not only with Diana tagging along but also with the fallout of deceiving his mentor.
