Chapter 0572
Or had she seen through it all along and simply pretended not to?
If it was the latter, then her silence was a quiet rejection.
The thought struck Elliot like a blow, a sudden ache spreading through his chest.
Of course.
If even a stranger like Diana could see through his feelings, there was no way his mentor, as intelligent as she was, wouldn’t have noticed.
Which meant…
Elliot glanced at Diana, his expression unreadable, before turning to leave without another word.
Diana frowned and stepped in front of him. “Where are you going?”
“What I do is none of your business,” Elliot snapped. Then, with a cold laugh, he added, Diana, don’t think I haven’t figured you out either. You keep saying you won’t help Dylan, but all you’re doing is using reverse psychology.
“You know my mentor well enough to understand exactly what approach won’t make her push you away.”
Diana’s eyes flickered briefly, betraying her thoughts. “That’s not true!”
“You know the truth,” Elliot replied with a smirk. “But let me tell you this–you’re wasting your time. My mentor will never forgive your brother. She gave him more than enough chances, and he’s the one who threw them away.
Diana’s brows knitted tightly, and just as she opened her mouth to argue, Elliot brushed past her, bumping her shoulder as he stormed off.
Watching his retreating figure, Diana clenched her fists.
She’d thought she’d hidden her intentions well, but to her surprise, Elliot had seen right through her.
!
She had, in fact, hoped to use that subtle approach to reconcile her sister and Dylan.
Because she’d noticed something different about her sister recently.
The cold, distant look her sister used to give Dylan was no longer there. While her attitude was still far from warm, the icy hostility in her eyes had disappeared.
If her sister were still as resistant as before, Diana wouldn’t have dared to try anything that might upset her.
Her brother might look smart, but when it came to relationships, he was utterly clueless.

Otherwise, things wouldn’t have spiraled to this point.
As his sister, how could she truly sit back and do nothing?
Sigh…
On one side was her brother, and on the other was a sister who treated her better than her own family. What was she supposed to do?
Elliot made up his mind that he was going to be honest with Suzy. He would tell her outright that he had feelings for her and was determined to pursue her.
After all, if she already knew how he felt, he might as well make an official confession.
However, when he went to her room, she wasn’t there.
After searching around, he found out she had gone to meet Dylan.
Didn’t she say she wouldn’t see him anymore?
