Once a Doormat Now Untouchable (Caleb and Sydney) novel Chapter 708

But Diana didn't say it aloud. She had no intention of placing obstacles in the path of her own divorce. The Kingston inheritance was far too valuable to surrender lightly. No matter how composed Leon liked to appear, he would never give it up without a fight.

"What I mean is, I have no obligation to cover for your stupidity." With tat, she ended the call.

Yes, stupidity.

What had Leon been thinking, believing she was the kind of woman who swallowed her grievances and stayed silent?

He had brought the divorce to his grandfather's attention. She had brought the reason behind it. That was only fair.

He hadn't earned the right to ask anything of her.

She walked into her bedroom and was about to toss her phone onto the sofa when she remembered Hugo had seemed to want to say something before she cut him off. She checked her messages.

Nothing from him appeared among the unread notifications. Whatever it was, it couldn't have been urgent.

She had spent most of the previous night handling the share transfer. Both Albus' and Theodore's shares had needed to be moved while the momentum remained in their favor. One change of heart from either man could cost Vee dearly.

For now, her priority was securing as many premarital assets as possible for Vee before the wedding. After that would come the divorce. So far, both matters were progressing without major complications.

Diana went to shower, and the moment her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, the city lights were already glowing outside.

She had always been a light sleeper. No matter how exhausted she was, two or three hours of rest were enough to restore her energy.

A knock sounded at the door.

A maid opened it slightly and spoke in a respectful tone. "Miss, are you awake? Madam was worried about your stomach and asked me to bring your dinner upstairs."

Florence knew Diana needed the rest, so she hadn't called her downstairs for dinner. Instead, she had instructed the staff to listen for movement from the room and bring the meal up the moment Diana woke.
