After Being Replaced I Left Them All Behind-Now They Regret It novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Diana was pleased with her son’s decisive answer.

She turned to Nicole and said, “Did you hear that?”

“Whatever tricks you’ve played before, it’s time to stop.

“Our family doesn’t just let anyone in.

“Even if you manage to ruin things between my son and Alicia, it won’t get you anywhere.

“My son will never marry you.”

Diana confronted Nicole in front of everyone just to let them all know-the Moore family would never let someone like her marry in.

She wanted Nicole to get real and stop dreaming that pining after her son would ever get her a spot in their family.

Women like Nicole? Diana had seen them all before.

Nicole’s background never impressed her, and her attitude was even worse.

Now, seeing Nicole’s eyes turn red and watery, looking like she was about to burst into tears, Diana just felt annoyed-what a downer.

Nicole couldn’t hold back anymore; tears started spilling down her cheeks.

She never expected Nicolas’s mom to be this harsh.

Even if Diana didn’t want her in the Moore family, did she really have to embarrass her with everyone watching?

She was the recognized daughter of the Hammond family, after all, but Diana didn’t even bother to show the Hammonds a shred of respect.

And Nicolas-he made it clear in front of everyone that Alicia was the only one for him, and there was no way he’d ever marry her.

Nicole’s mind spun: ‘Did he ever stop to think how humiliating this is for me?”

She was completely at a loss for words.

She just couldn’t muster the nerve to pretend she didn’t care about marrying into the Moore family.

Because, deep down, marrying into the Moore family was all she’d ever wanted.

After all these years of secretly loving him, she really had fallen for Nicolas.

And there was this relentless drive-she just had to snatch him from Alicia’s grasp, no matter what.

The more he acted like this, the more she wanted him-she just couldn’t let it go.

But admitting defeat? She just couldn’t bring herself to do it. It would be way too humiliating.

So she could only lower her head and let the tears fall.

If Diana could read Nicole’s mind right now, she’d just scoff at her.

The Hammond and Moore families go way back, and their business interests are so tangled up, you can’t even tell them apart sometimes.

If the Hammonds ever tried to make a fuss with the Moore family just because of Nicole, Hammond Group would’ve crashed and burned long ago.

And the Moore family wouldn’t have any reason to keep working with the Hammonds, either.

Even Nicole’s mom hadn’t expected Diana to be this ruthless.

What Diana did was basically publicly humiliating both her and Nicole.

Seeing her daughter with her head down, crying, Nicole’s mom felt her heart ache-but she couldn’t help thinking, ‘Useless. After all these years, and you still can’t get Nicolas to care about you.’

Feeling the sting of embarrassment, Mavis looked at Diana and said, “Diana, can’t we discuss this privately?

“Today is my husband’s birthday. Isn’t this a bit much?”

If she didn’t stand up for herself now, she’d be even more of a pushover in the world of wealthy socialites-everyone would think they could walk all over her.

Besides, she was Mrs. Hammond now-she had every right to speak up.

Diana scoffed, “And who are you to call me out? You really think you have the status to question me?”

“It’s your husband’s birthday, and you two managed to turn it into a circus-his own daughter cutting ties with him, all thanks to you and your little drama.”

“If anyone wrecked his birthday party, it’s you two.”

“I just want your daughter to get it—people who aren’t good enough don’t get through the Moore family’s door.”

That was Diana’s way of throwing shade at Mavis, making it clear she didn’t measure up.

Diana used to be close friends with Alicia’s mom-she was gorgeous, elegant, and had real talent and brains.

Mavis, though, was just passably pretty, her family was nothing special, and her whole life depended on latching onto a man.

Diana couldn’t help but think, ‘Seriously, what was Leo thinking, marrying someone so scheming and not even presentable?”

If Diana didn’t make a scene in front of everyone, she was afraid Nicole and her mom would still be scheming, hoping to marry Nicole into the Moore family.

That was something Diana would never allow.

Even if her son went off to become a monk, Diana would never let a troublemaker like Nicole worm her way into their family.

Mavis couldn’t believe that even after she stepped up, Diana still totally snubbed her.
