“How dare you hit me!” Matthew roared, his eyes darkening as he glared at the attacker. But seeing who it was, Matthew froze in place, completely stunned.

“Diana? What are you doing here?” Matthew asked, disbelief etched across his face.

Diana stood fiercely, her lips curling into a cold sneer. “If I weren’t here, how much longer were you planning to help that illegitimate brat bully my best friend Liza?”
