Chapter 1117Chapter 1117
After a while, Diana felt tired of walking. “We’d better go back now, Riley is still at home…”
Michael planned to bring her out for a date but sighed when hearing what she said. “Isn’t that niece of
yours a little bit inconsiderate?”
“Don’t say that. Her classmate just passed away, so she wants to stay with me for a few days. It won’t be
for long anyway…”
Michael shook his head and stop complaining. “You are pregnant, so you are the boss.”
Diana pecked him on the cheek. “Thank you, darling!”
The man pinched her face, smiling.
When they got home, they were much more restrained.
Riley knew that she’d been disturbing the two lately, so she tried her best to lower her voice.
In fact, she wasn’t as annoying as Michael made her seem to be. He simply felt she was often in the way
of his alone time with Diana.
“Uncle, Aunt, you are back.”
Michael responded with a brief grunt and went straight to the study. Diana hurriedly said, “Don’t take it to
heart, he
is always like this.” Riley smiled. As a niece, she was naturally happy to see her aunt having a good
relationship with him.
After dinner, she suddenly asked Diana, “By the way, is Stella‘s trial happening tomorrow?” “Yes.”
Diana nodded, a little puzzled. “You seem to be quite concerned about her.”
“Just curious,” Riley answered with a smile.
Michael and Diana knew that she was heartbroken over the death of her classmate, but they didn‘t know
the person was Roger.
And because of Michael‘s long–standing feud with his sister, very few of the Belfords knew that they
were siblings.
Riley wanted to return to campus at first, but when she heard about Stella‘s case, she became a little
worried about her.
Stella was, after all, the sister of the person she was deeply in love with, and she did not want anything
bad to happen to her.
After a short rest, she returned to her room. In her hand, she was holding the recorder that Roger left
behind
before he died.
She didn’t dare to listen to it until now. She didn’t want to waste the last thing he gave her.
Right when she was deeply absorbed in thought, there was a knock at the door.
“Riley, are you taking a shower?”
Riley stood up immediately to answer the door. She replied, “I’ll be right there.”
After that, she walked past Diana and headed to the bathroom.
Seeing her room door was left open, Diana shook her head. “Careless girl…”
As she walked to her room, she saw the recorder on the carpet and bent down to pick it up.
Just when she wanted to put it somewhere, she accidentally pressed a button, and it started playing.
Startled, she hurriedly tried to turn the recorder off, not wanting to violate Riley’s privacy, but that was
when she heard a familiar voice from the speaker.
“Stella, what exactly do I have to do to get you not to tell Diana that I cheated on her?”
She would never fail to recognize the owner of the voice. He was the man who just hugged and sweet–
talked to her a moment ago.
For a very brief moment, Diana felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her blood was flowing
backward. She suspected that she might have heard wrong.
She froze on the spot and listened to the conversation in a self–tormenting way.
Michael didn’t know why Diana took so long, so he went to look for her.
Seeing her standing at Riley’s room door, not doing anything, he called out to her. “Darling, why are you
standing here?”
She ignored him.
He frowned and went in. “You…”
“You say that you love Diana, but why did you fool around with my roommate? Don’t you think that you
should not have made such a mistake in the first place?” This was Stella’s voice.
Michael blanched for a moment, realizing that this recording was the conversation he had with Stella
that day.
“Diana, I can explain…”
