Chapter 195


    Chloe was pulled into the garden by Cassie. Fireworks burst in the sky, a dazzling disy that took your breath away. Everyone in the garden stopped and looked up, showering the spectacle with praise. Chloe looked up, too. Watching the fireworks, she couldn''t help but think back to her own birthday. The sky had been filled with Heart of the Rose, burning brightly. Her once-thrilling heartbeat now felt like a giant bubble. Pop, and it had shattered.


    The fireworkssted about ten minutes before gradually fading away, but the garden became even livelier. People gathered under a crabapple tree in the center. Presents of all shapes and sizes were piled high beneath it. Chloe finally saw the star of the day, Diana.


    Diana looked young, though she was only three years younger than Chloe. Her face, full of innocence and naivety, made her much younger than she was. She had long, straight hair with bangs framing her delicate features that were lightly adorned with makeup. A pink dress hugged her slim figure. Her eyes sparkled with sweetness when she smiled. Chloe''s first impression of her was one of beauty and youthfulness, like an exquisite Barbie doll in a shop window. Diana seemed born to be cherished, pampered, and adored like a little princess.


    She was surrounded by a group of girls. Chloe and Cassie stood just a few meters away, separated by a man-madeke. The girls'' chatter still reached Chloe''s ears.


    "Diana, why hasn''t Connor arrived yet?"


    "Diana, I heard Connor tailored a reality show just for you. Is that true? Remember to include us when the timees, okay?"


    "Diana, we''re so envious of you. You''re just in your sophomore year, and you''ve already been part of several big productions. Once those shows air, you might be an A-list actress overnight."


    "Diana, you''ve got such good fortune. Connor even started a talent agency just for you. That''s a unique honor in the entertainment industry." "Diana is the future Mrs. Sartori. What''s apany inparison? Soon, even the Sartori Corporation might be handed to her on a silver tter by Connor."


    Diana kept smiling until she heard thestment. She blushed, a bit embarrassed, and said, "Don''t say that. My rtionship with Uncle Connor isn''t what you think."? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    "Why are you still calling him ''Uncle?'' That''s too formal. Eve calls him ''Connor.'' You can''t be more distant than her."


    Diana seriously replied, "Please stop. When he arrives and he hears you, he won''t be happy."


    Amotion arose not far away.

    Someone said, "Diana, Connor is here." The crowd instinctively parted, making way for a tall, distinguished figure walking towards them. Chloe''s heart skipped a beat at the sight of him. Cassie kindly pointed out, "Look, that''s Connor Sartori."


    Diana was visibly delighted, looking up at Connor with eyes that seemed to sparkle like stars.
