Chapter 2

Howard Spencer was silent for a moment.

Just when Diana thought she might be too late, Howard’s voice came through again. “Give me a reason.”

Diana bit her lip. “If I say that after thinking it over last night, I think your proposal is a good idea and I want to discuss it again, would you still give me a chance?”

Howard was silent again.

Diana bit her lip, waiting for his answer.

Finally, he spoke again, and his answer made Diana feel relieved. “Tomorrow at 9 AM, meet me at the marriage license office.”

Diana let out a cheer of excitement. Even though she quickly covered her mouth, it still came through the phone to Howard’s ears.

After hanging up, Howard’s well–defined fingers tapped rhythmically on his desk.

“How is Diana’s background investigation going?” he asked.

Howard’s assistant, James Smith, quickly replied, “Ms. Getty grew up in an orphanage. After turning eighteen, she got into college and left the orphanage. She paid for all her tuition and living expenses by working during the summer and doing part–time jobs during the school year. She met her boyfriend, Robert, at one of her jobs. Robert also comes from a poor background and attended college on student loans. They have been together for two years and have a deep relationship until Ms. Getty was found by the Getty family. The Getty family seems to look down on Robert, thinking he is not good enough for Ms. Getty. This caused conflicts between them, and their most recent argument was half a month ago.”

James handed over a file. The cover of the file was a photo.

Two young faces filled the photo. The girl had soft features and bright eyes that radiated happiness.

The boy, sunny and handsome, was pouting to kiss the girl’s cheek. She seemed to want to dodge, but he held her waist and pulled her back.

The camera captured this lively moment perfectly, exuding a strong sense of romance.

Howard’s gaze lingered on Diana’s striking face, but he didn’t say a word.

James suddenly remembered something and added, “I heard the Getty family’s adopted daughter, was diagnosed with acute kidney failure a year ago. Shortly after that, they brought Ms. Getty home. Since then, Ms. Getty has been donating blood to the adopted daughter. There are also rumors that the Getty family intends for Ms. Getty to donate a kidney to their adopted daughter!”

Hearing this, Howard’s eyes darkened slightly.

After a moment of thought, Howard instructed James, “Have the legal department draft a prenuptial agreement.”

James was shocked, thinking, ‘Is Howard really going to follow his grandmother Sophia Brown’s advice and marry Diana?”

With Howard’s response. Diana immediately returned to the Getty Villa to get her documents and move all her belongings.

Diana didn’t want to stay at the Getty Villa for even a second longer.

She was extremely grateful that when the Getty family brought her back, they hadn’t completed the formalities of her return to the family, citing Laura’s poor health and inability to handle stress.

Otherwise, it would have taken Diana a lot more effort to break away from the Getty family.

Looking at the documents in her hand, Diana’s thoughts drifted into memories.

She met Sophia at the orphanage

While in college, Diane took advantage of her summer break to voit the orphanage director and the children. She accidentally encountered

Sophia, who had a sudden heart attack on the way.

Sophia’s car had broken down, and the driver was busy calling for help, not noticing Sophia’s condition.

It was Diana who discovered it in time, carried Sophia out of the car, and performed CPR on her.

She and the driver took turns carrying Sophia to a nearby hospital, saving her life.

At that time, Diana didn’t know Sophia’s identity. They exchanged contact information before parting, and Sophia often arranged to meet her

afterward.

A while ago, when Sophia arranged a meeting, Howard was also present.

That was Diana’s first time meeting Howard.

Howard was dressed in a high–end custom–made suit, his hair meticulously styled, and his features were as handsome as if they were sculpted. His gaze had a chilling effect, making people feel intimidated.

However, she couldn’t help but look at his face because it was simply too striking!

Diana didn’t understand Sophia’s intentions at the time until Sophia found an excuse to leave shortly after they sat down. Only then did Diana realize that Sophia wanted to set her up with Howard.

At that time, Diana was completely focused on Robert and naturally refused, which greatly disappointed Sophia.

Later, Howard contacted her alone, telling her that Sophia was seriously ill and didn’t have much time left. Her only wish was to see him get married and have children. And coincidentally, Diana was the person Sophia had chosen. So he hoped she could marry him, and she could set any conditions she wanted. He also promised that after Sophia passed away, he would cooperate with a divorce at any time she wanted and provide her with appropriate compensation.

Even so, Diana, who was deeply in love at the time, still refused.

Soon after, Diana was coaxed by the Getty family and Robert into agreeing to donate a kidney to Laura. Due to improper post–surgery care, developed complications that required a large sum of money for treatment.

But by then, Laura had recovered, and Diana was no longer of any use. The Getty family didn’t want to take care of her, and Robert abandoned her as well.

In the end, it was Sophia who learned of Diana’s situation and came to the hospital, offering to pay for her treatment. Worried that Diana wouldn’t accept, she used the excuse of repaying the favor for saving her life.

After Diana recovered, Laura’s body suddenly experienced rejection and needed another surgery.

The Getty family came to Diana again, but by then, she had seen through their true nature and refused their request to donate another kidney to

Laura.

As a result, Diana was captured by Laura, forcibly taken for surgery, and ultimately died tragically.

Thinking back on her past life, Diana felt a wave of anger wash over her.

She took a deep breath, pushed down the hatred in her eyes, and gripped the documents in her hand tightly.

In her previous life, after she died, the Getty family cremated her in a hurry and didn’t even bother to bury her ashes. They were planning to dump them in the sewer.

It was Sophia who heard about it and, with Howard and some bodyguards, retrieved Diana’s ashes.

Sophia even picked out a burial site for Diana, but the grief took a toll on her, and she passed away soon after

Thinking about it, Diana’s heart ached.

An elderly person she had saved by chance treated her with such sincerity

Chapter 2

But her own family, who she had tried so hard to please, only saw her as a tool and discarded her when she was no longer useful.

In this life, Diana wouldn’t let them take advantage of her again.

Instead, everything they took from her in the previous life, she would make them return in this one.

As for Sophia, Diana would do everything she could to repay her kindness.

Marrying Howard to fulfill Sophia’s last wish was the first thing Diana did for Sophia.

Diana found a random hotel to stay in, and early the next morning, she took a cab to the place where they would handle the marriage paperwork.
