The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 214 Someone's Watching Her Every Move

"Mom, I have a plan," Selena said, pulling Diana closer and whispering in her ear.

When Diana heard it, all the color drained from her face. "Selena, no. We can't do that."

Selena rolled her eyes. "Why not? We can hold off for now if you're too scared."

Stretching lazily, she stood and yawned. "Anyway, I'm not going abroad. I just returned home and haven't even enjoyed my life yet! Sure, I didn't manage to get free shares from that old bastard Kevin, but it's fine since Dad bought them over."

Selena grinned and waved her phone in front of Diana, saying, "Oh, by the way, I asked Kevin for half a million dollars. This time, he handed it over without a fight."

Diana frowned, feeling uneasy. She found it suspicious since Kevin had always looked down on Victor. Yet, he was treating Natalie with surprising generosity.

If Kevin had given the money to Natalie, Diana would have believed it. But it did not make sense for him to give even a dime to Selena.

Still, Kevin had been in the wrong in their previous dispute, so perhaps the money was just compensation. Diana tried to convince herself she was overthinking it.

"Mom, I'm exhausted from shopping. I'm going to bed," Selena announced. "Oh, have Meredith organize my new clothes."

"Sure," Diana replied.

Selena headed upstairs, and Diana called Meredith over to handle the task. Afterward, Meredith carried hundreds of clothing items up to the walk-in closet and began sorting them.

Diana stayed nearby, watching as Meredith meticulously organized everything. For some reason, her thoughts drifted to Natalie's years in the Langley family. Natalie had never worn bright colors or dresses. In fact, Diana could not recall ever seeing her in anything extravagant like an evening gown.
