Noel threw another glance in Diana’s direction.
Upon seeing Diana looking perfectly fine, he continued describing the situation.
In actuality, Diana’s heart was gripped in shock by everything she heard.
She always knew that the Fulchers stood at the top of the food chain in Richburgh, an existence that many envied and looked up to.
Yet she didn’t expect that in today’s society, there would actually be people who would stoop to such extreme measures just to get into the good books of the Fulcher family.
Although those two people deserved death, the way they died…
Was overly frightening.
What was more frightening was that Julian didn’t think that this was beyond the reach of the law.
She suddenly recalled what he said about him being the law in Richburgh.
What about Kayla?
Her plight would only be worse than these people, and not better.
It wasn’t that Diana was pitying that woman.
Neither was her heart aching for Kayla.
After all, Kayla had instructed Mr. Carter to drug her food, worked with James to dig up the grave of her babies, and even schemed to kidnap her and Grandma. Given all these wicked things she had done, Diana would never pity her!
Conversely, Diana now felt that leaving Kayla at Julian’s mercy was the best outcome.
She would feel much better than if she had to deal with Kayla herself.
Alas, she had no choice but to protect Kayla for the time being.
“Are you done?” Julian cut Noel off.
“Yes,” Noel licked his dry lips and glanced at Julian before retreating from the room.
Before he shut the door, he looked up and glanced at Diana once more.
He had described the situation in such detail and gore, yet Madam didn’t look scared one bit. She didn’t even blink.
How amazing!
His impression of Diana improved a tad bit as he bowed his head and shut the door behind him.
