Chapter 540
And yet, what had Diana done in turn?
She actually demanded him to crawl back to the Winnington residence all the way from the hospital!
Did she even consider what that would do to his reputation and image?!
She didn’t think of him at all!
However, Ka was different.
Even if Ka’s appearance was ruined and she saw through his intentions to reconcile with Diana, she
still didn’t speak ill of him. She still treated him as family, and looked up to him as her most respected
father.
When they left the hospital yesterday, Ka even added that if she married Julian, she would make
him the proudest father-inw in the world!
Listening to those words made Ka so much better than Diana inparison.
Diana had been married to Julian for three years, and he hadn’t taken a single penny from her.
In fact, Julian’s offerings were all done for Ka’s sake.

The more James thought about it, the more he felt it was the right decision to abandon Diana back
then.
With that in mind, he pretended to p himself.
“I was wrong! Whatparison? How dare a wretched creature like youpare yourself to Ka!”
Saying that, he grabbed a pair of scissors and aimed it at Diana’s cheek.
“You ruined Ka’s face! How can you still shamelessly parade around with her face?”
Opening and closing the scissors in his hand, he continued, “One day, your mother and I will personally
make you pay back everything you owe Ka!”
If they weren’t in such a public ce as hispany…
Diana had many reasons to believe James would reallyy hands on her face.
He might even involve Kate.
Just imagining that scene…
It would truly be a joke.
“What makes you think you can hurt me?” Diana smiled, as if nothing James did could affect her.
In truth, only she knew how devastating the pain inflicted by a loved one could be.
“Let me tell you right now,” Diana said with a changed tone. She raised her head, and when she spoke,
it was with a voice carrying unprecedented arrogance. “Right now, I am Ka’s substitute.”
James was stunned. “What do you mean by that?”
“Literally what I just said,” Diana said, turning to leave after dropping this.” You might as well tell Ka.
I’m sure she’ll understand.”
When it came to matters concerning Ka, James didn’t waste a single moment. As soon as Diana
left, he immediately went to Ka’s side.
When he pushed the door open, Ka was waiting to change her dressing. The wounds on her face
were even more shocking than yesterday’s. Even James couldn’t help but swallow harshly out of fright.
However, he dared not show the slightest displeasure in front of Ka. Rather, his resentment towards
Diana intensified when he thought of how things hade to this.
Forgetting the reason Diana had gone from being a wealthy girl to a country bumpkin, he snarled
angrily, “It’s all that country bumpkin’s fault!”
Ka raised her gaze and asked in a hoarse voice, “What’s wrong?”
James felt increasingly ufortable listening to it, and quickly conveyed the words Diana had him
ry to Ka.
“Dad, don’t be angry,” Kaforted James, though a hint of resentment appeared at the corners of
her mouth. “The more she says things like that, the more it proves that she doesn’t know how much
Julian loves her.”
Perhaps her poor sister was still trapped in the pain of being a substitute, which made Ka smile
triumphantly.
“The less she knows, the more painful and embarrassing it is for her, and the more time we have.”
When James heard these words, the heavy feeling in his heart dissipated. He eximed in earnest,
“Ka, you’re amazing!”
“It’s not that I’m amazing. It’s that she and Julian are fated to be apart,” Ka said as she pondered.
“Don’t you think they’ve always missed each other despite their mutual affection?”
Even back when they were children, Diana’s act of saving Julian became Ka’s credit and the golden
ticket she currently held.
“That’s right!” James seemed to have regained his confidence. “You’re right as always.
