Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1181: She’s Getting Married

The ebony hair scattered messily, obscuring Dianna’s expression, only her slightly intoxicated eyes stayed on the television, unwilling to move away.

Jodie Young already noticed Dianna’s sudden drop in temperature; her little hand was as cold as ice.

"Dianna..." Jodie was very worried.

At this time, Dianna slowly retracted her gaze, her voice was soft, "Mom, I’m tired, going upstairs to sleep."

After speaking, Dianna went upstairs and returned to her room.

Jodie watched her daughter’s figure disappear from her sight. She was very worried about Dianna, because upon hearing the news of Cain Shaw’s death, Dianna’s reaction was too calm.

Jodie actually hoped Dianna would have a big cry and throw a tantrum, but there was nothing, like a bird flying without a trace, as if Mort Thorne had never appeared in Dianna’s life.

...

Jodie worried for a long time, but time proved she seemed to have overthought it, because Dianna was very obedient and well-behaved, as if Cain Shaw’s death had not stirred any waves in her life.

Dianna graduated smoothly and stayed at her alma mater, her graduation thesis was outstanding and received applause, her reputation as a talented woman spread widely again.

Soon Dianna fell in love, this time her boyfriend was Raymond Alden, the Crown Prince of City of Crestfall’s richest family. This Raymond was young and promising, having returned from studying abroad and taken over the Alden Group, his character was stable and gentle, treating Dianna like a treasured gem.

Jodie Young was extremely satisfied with Raymond, he almost fulfilled all her fantasies about a son-in-law.

Two months later, Dianna was going to marry Raymond, and both families were busy arranging the wedding.

That evening, Dianna brought Raymond home for dinner, Jodie Young personally cooked, and the three of them sat in the dining room to eat.

Raymond peeled a few shrimp, then placed the peeled shrimp into Dianna’s bowl, and cut a piece of steak into small pieces to give to Dianna. He was very skilled in these actions, since they started dating, he had meticulously taken care of every aspect of Dianna’s life.

Jodie nodded contentedly, having gone through Cain Shaw and Yuric Thatcher, now Raymond almost made up for any flaws and regrets.

"Raymond, your wedding with Dianna is coming soon, is everything for the wedding arranged? There are many things to consider when getting married," Jodie asked.

Raymond, nearing thirty years old, was gentle and elegant, he nodded, "Mom, rest assured, everything is arranged, you don’t need to worry, I personally took care of it. By the way, after the wedding, Dianna and I will go on a honeymoon. During the honeymoon, it’ll be Dianna’s birthday, I’ll send someone to bring mom along for a global trip as well."

This is just how Raymond is; meticulous in every detail, able to arrange everything well, he can take care of Dianna’s life, accommodate her every little mood, he remembers all of Dianna’s special dates, knows romance, creates surprises, simply the perfect lover.

"Alright, Raymond, leaving Dianna in your care, I’m very relieved." Jodie nodded with satisfaction.

...

After dinner, Dianna went out to see Raymond off, Raymond didn’t drive, and the two walked leisurely on the street.

Raymond reached out and held Dianna’s small hand in his palm, her hand was still so cold, cold as ice, with no warmth at all.

Raymond rubbed her little hand, hoping to pass his warmth to her, "Dianna, I really want to hold your hand like this and keep walking forward."

All this time, Dianna was no different, as cool and distant as before, she looked at Raymond, "Do you really not mind my past?"

Raymond raised an eyebrow, "The past? Are you referring to your past with Yuric Thatcher, or with... him?"

Dianna was silent.

Raymond put one hand in his pocket, raised an eyebrow, "I know all your past, but from now on, don’t talk about your ex in front of your current partner, because I can get jealous too."

Raymond laughed, and Dianna curled her red lips in response.

At this moment, Dianna saw a street vendor selling ice cream and she stopped.

"Want to eat? I’ll go get it for you." Raymond immediately let go of her hand and ran to buy it.

As he ran, he turned back, "Which flavor do you want?"

Dianna thought for a moment, "I’ll have..."

"How about strawberry flavor, and one original, buy two." Raymond already made the decision and bought her two ice creams.

The dignified CEO of Alden Group actually lowered himself to run to a vendor to buy ice cream for his fiancée; any young girl seeing this would be touched.

Dianna stood there, staring blankly at Raymond’s departing figure.

At this moment, noise came from her ear, "Little mutt, stop running, stole our stuff and still want to run, stop!"

A few men chased out, pursuing a little boy who accidentally crashed into Dianna.

The little boy looked up and immediately saw Dianna.

Dianna also recognized this little boy, he was Cain Shaw’s illegitimate son, Yuri Shaw.

Cain Shaw was dead, Christina Shaw was imprisoned, once a prominent family in Starfall City, the Shaw family had fallen, and it was lamentable. Naturally, Yuri lost everything overnight, he was forcibly sent to a juvenile detention center, but he escaped. Without money or skills to survive, he began stealing, living a very poor life.

"It’s you?" Yuri also recognized Dianna, he looked full of hatred, "You’re the seductress who seduced my daddy?"

Dianna did not speak, only looked quietly and coldly at Yuri.

Yuri was very agitated, "It’s all your fault, I ended up this way because of you. You made me lose everything!"

"My daddy died, and I heard you didn’t shed a single tear for him, Dianna, you’re so ruthless."

"I heard you’re in a relationship, and about to get married, it’s only been a few months, and you’ve forgotten my daddy, marrying someone else. We’re all living poorly, but you have everything, a bright future, and a CEO fiancé by your side, Dianna, you’re truly cold-blooded, I doubt you even have a heart!"

Saying so, Yuri wanted to rush over and bite Dianna, but unfortunately, several men behind him caught up and grabbed him.

"Little mutt, hurry up and follow us!" A few men dragged Yuri away.

Unconvinced, Yuri picked up a small stone and hurled it fiercely at Dianna’s forehead.

Dianna didn’t dodge, sudden pain came from her forehead, and fresh blood started to flow down.

"Dianna!" At this moment, Raymond came running over, seeing Dianna injured, he immediately threw away the ice cream in his hand and took out a handkerchief to forcefully cover her bleeding wound, "Dianna, does it hurt? Why didn’t you dodge earlier, you could have avoided it!"
