“Diana…” Ryan tugged at his thin lips, dragging out the name as if he were savoring the words.
Diana dared not look directly at the man’s pitch–black eyes, fearing she might give herself away. She only heard Ryan laugh coldly and ask sharply, “Who sent you?”
Ryan could guess that someone who had had dealings with him and had ulterior motives was behind her.
To cater to his preferences, naturally, there was no such thing as a free lunch.
Diana was taken aback by how astutely the man saw through her. Her face turned pale as she took a deep breath and recited the lines she had prepared.
“No one sent me. I’m just here for a part–time job…”
“Miss West.” Ryan, with his long legs crossed, took a drag from his cigarette, his chin lowered, with a cold and hard line to his jaw, his voice deep and menacing. Since you’re here, you must know who I am. I can find out anything that the person behind you can find out. Anything he can give you, I can give you. In other words, I’m known for my ruthless methods. If you’re not honest now, I won’t be patient.”
Upon hearing this, Diana lost the last traces of color from her face. She bit her lower lip tightly, weighing her options.
In the end, she chose to betray Felix.
After all, under Ryan’s overpowering presence, she had no other choice. Ultimately, she met the man’s dark gaze and said, “It’s Felix.”
She had no doubt that any further deception would be futile.
Someone like Ryan could uncover her entire background in no time. Rather than struggle in vain, she chose to reveal the truth. This man might be out of reach, but he seemed much more reliable than Felix.
Although Felix might not forgive her, she preferred to place her bet entirely on Ryan.
Ryan frowned, not immediately recalling who Felix was. “Felix?”
“Felix…” lan, infuriated, gritted his teeth and was already calculating how to deal with Felix. He forced himself to speak up. “He’s my cousin’s boyfriend. You met him at the last gathering. He wanted to secure that medical project with us.”
“I didn’t expect this kid to have the audacity to set his sights on that!”
He and Tom knew that Ryan, wielding great power, had only one person that he cared about the most-
his ex–wife.
Other matters could be negotiated, but trying to use his ex–wife as a stepping stone would not end well.
Anyone with eyes could see that Diana was merely a cheap imitation of Ryan’s ex–wife.
Compared to a perfect look–alike, the only advantage was her natural appearance and the icy demeanor she carried.
Ryan brushed off the ash from his cigarette, not responding to lan’s words. He glanced at Diana and spoke slowly, “Where is Felix? Where is he waiting?”

Having set up such an elaborate arrangement, he certainly wouldn’t leave without hearing some news.
Diana replied, “He should be in the car park.”
This was her guess.
Ryan gave lan a look, and lan understood. He got up and soon returned, dragging Felix in by the collar and kicking him to the ground!
Diana had never seen such a scene and was so frightened that she took a step back, only to see Felix glaring at her fiercely!
