Chapter 896 Knowing the Secret

Diana froze, still trying to process her words.

Helen continued, her tone steady, “You’re smart, Diana. You should understand what I mean. When someone has someone they care about, it makes them vulnerable.

When Diana heard it, she was left speechless, utterly stunned.

“Grandma, is that true?” she gasped, her eyes wide with disbelief.
