Chapter 1316
Diane shook her head.
“Or that I’m despicable and I’m even willing to use myself to achieve what I want? Surely you have something to say?”
“There’s nothing to say,” said Diane. “Each of us chooses our own path, even though you’re not going to get what you want no matter what you do.”
She looked at Amelia and spoke very calmly, but her words were filled with a very high level of confidence.
Amelia stared at Diane and couldn’t believe it. According to her information, this was a simple, kindhearted and slightly dumb woman, but she could still come up with such an expression.
“But you’re right. That Ethan isn’t a normal human being.”
Which normal human being would be able to resist her?
She had literally thrown herself at him but he didn’t even touch her. She was fuming mad.
She wasn’t angry because she didn’t get what she wanted or didn’t succeed in her plans. The fact that Ethan absolutely refused to be tempted by her made her especially angry.
Amelia pulled the blanket aside and got out of bed to look at the simple dough sticks and buns for breakfast.
“What method did you use?” she asked as she sat down to eat breakfast without even turning around. “I’m really very curious as to how you managed to hold down someone like Ethan so firmly.”
As far as she knew, a man like Ethan wasn’t someone that a woman like Diane could control easily.
“I don’t know,” Diane just laughed. “I’ve never thought about holding him down. I just always think about how I can help him to fly even further.”
Amelia was stunned.
The bun she just put in her mouth suddenly didn’t seem tasty anymore.
She turned around and swallowed the mouthful of food hard. Her eyes were filled with surprise because she was so stunned by what Diane just said.
Amelia didn’t say anything. She turned back and went back to eating her breakfast.
After a while, she finished her breakfast and opened the door. A chambermaid had come back with her freshly washed clothes.
Amelia didn’t say anything and just took the clothes and shut the door. She changed right in front of Diane, placed her pajamas on the bed and then left the room.
She had never felt like such a failure before.
Since she was a child, she had always been on top of everything. She was backed by the L’Oreal family, so she had everything from status to power.
There was nothing she wanted and couldn’t get.
It was true that she wanted Ethan for other purposes and her own schemes, but those few words from Diane had completely destroyed the proudest thing deep inside her heart!
“My heart is so tired,” Amelia said to herself.
She walked to the door, then turned back and knocked on the door. She pushed it open to see Diane folding the clothes and said, “My name is Amelia L’Oreal, I thought it was appropriate to introduce myself properly. We’ll have many chances to meet each other in the future.”
Then Amelia shut the door and left without turning back.
Diane stood there and just smiled without saying anything.
She knew that Amelia didn’t care about her even though Palmer Group had expanded tremendously. The company was still tiny compared to the L’Oreal’s empire after all.
It was only natural for Amelia to look down on her and feel that she was at a different level from her.
But today, Amelia had finally acknowledged her.
Meanwhile,
There were two men outside Palmer Group’s overseas office. Their expressions were unkind and were clearly furious. They even looked like they were going to erupt anytime soon.
“When is your CEO Palmer coming in? We must talk to her about this matter!” Rodger and Ardon were both clearly displeased. “We’re all businessmen, so don’t push us into a corner!”
“If we fight to the point where both the fish die and the net breaks, it will do neither of us good!”
