As soon as Diana thought about being imprisoned by John in her past life, she couldn't help but shiver. In this life, she had to break the nightmare with her own hands! Diana took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. "I'm Diana," she said slowly into the camera.
Soon, the door opened and a man in a black uniform came out. He was slightly older, but his gaze was sharp, and his face was stern. It was Mr. Robinson.
"Miss Thompson, what brings you here?" Although he had some reservations about Diana, now that she was engaged to his boss, Mr. Robinson's attitude towards her had improved significantly.
"I'm here to see John!" Diana smiled. She hadn't told John about her visit, wanting to surprise him. She wondered what his reaction would be when he saw her! Diana was looking forward to it.
"Alright, follow me," Mr. Robinson nodded and led Diana inside. It was just like she remembered, with familiar layouts and scenery. Only the green plants in the front yard had suddenly been removed. Diana was puzzled. "Mr. Robinson, why is it so empty here? Where are the plants?"
"Boss ordered them to be replaced with blue roses a few days ago," Mr. Robinson replied.
Ah, that's why! Diana's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but grin. Mr. Robinson led her to the living room and said, "Please wait here for a moment. Boss is in his room. I'll let him know you're here."
Diana quickly said, "No need, I'll wait for him. John might be busy. It's better not to disturb him."
Mr. Robinson didn't say anything and left. Diana was alone in the living room and feeling bored, so she started to wander around. In her past life, she had always been thinking about how to get rid of John and hadn't taken the time to appreciate the villa. Now that she looked carefully, she realized that the decorations were quite exquisite, simple yet elegant. It matched John's style quite well. She remembered that after she arrived, John let her decorate the room however she wanted, even if it looked like a punk rock house.
"This vase is an antique, don't touch it!" Diana was lost in thought when she suddenly heard an impatient voice next to her. She turned to see a maid dressed girl holding a cup of coffee and looking at her with a hint of disdain.
Diana narrowed her eyes. Who was this woman? She had no impression of her. In her past life, she was preoccupied with other things and didn't care about John's staff. But... the woman's attitude made her very unhappy. Diana walked over and sat down on the sofa. "What's your name?" she asked.
"Everyone calls me Jade," she replied, casually placing the tea in front of Diana, and then prepared to leave.
"Jade, hold on for a moment," Diana said.
"What's up, Miss Thompson?" Jade turned around and looked at her with a hint of confusion. When she saw Diana's face, she was briefly stunned. This Miss Thompson was much prettier than she had imagined! But quickly, she flashed a hint of disdain in her eyes. Ah, no matter how beautiful she was, she was still a useless person! She heard that Miss Thompson had always been unwilling to marry the boss and went to pursue other men. In her eyes, a woman like this would inevitably be dumped by the boss sooner or later if she wanted to become the lady of the Matthews family.
"It's so hot today, and you brought me such a hot coffee?" Diana hugged her arms, leaned back on the couch, and looked relaxed. "Get me a cup of iced coffee instead."
"Miss Thompson, the coffee is freshly brewed and hot. We don't have iced coffee, so please bear with it."
"Really, just drink it! So many complaints!" Jade rolled her eyes in her mind and thought.
"But I can't drink hot coffee...." Diana noticed Jade's subtle expression and gradually revealed a coldness in her eyes. "Since there's no iced coffee, come over here, hold the tea and stand next to the air conditioner to cool it down for me!"
"What?!" Jade thought she had misheard. Was this woman crazy? "Miss Thompson... are you joking?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Diana tilted her head and looked at her coldly. Jade stood with her hands on her hips and bit her lip. This woman hadn't even married into the family yet, and her attitude was already so big... She reluctantly walked over, picked up the hot coffee, and walked over to the air conditioner, looking extremely unhappy while complying with the request. Diana didn't care and took out her phone from her pocket, starting to play games.
Meanwhile, in the room on the second floor of the villa, John sat behind the desk, holding his phone and looking intently at the contents on the screen. Several big words on the screen caught his attention - How to make a girl happy.
Frank propped his legs up and leaned on the sofa not far from him, holding his phone and focusing on playing games. Suddenly, his eyes lit up with excitement. "What's going on? It's Z!" Frank bounced off the sofa, "Z is back in the game?! Damn! That's big news!"
Hearing his excited voice, John's face showed a hint of displeasure. So noisy. Frank was completely unaware of John's mood. As a senior e-sports player, his attention was entirely focused on the legend of the e-sports circle at the moment. After quickly browsing Z's records and seeing his incredible performance, Frank became even more excited! It was really Z! No one except him could have such an incredible record! After seven years, Z had returned!
Seven years ago, Frank was at the peak of his career as a domestic esports player. However, at that time, he wasn't the hottest player. In the esports community, everyone looked up to a legend named Z. If he was a genius, then Z was undoubtedly the greatest genius of them all. In just a month, Z swept all the top spots in various popular games and his track record was almost unbeatable. But what was more mysterious was that no one knew who Z was, as he refused all invitations from esports clubs and focused on being a solitary champion.
However, just as Z's popularity was soaring, he withdrew from the scene. Seven years have passed since then, and many people have probably forgotten about this legend. But in Frank's heart, there has always been a lingering regret: he has always wanted to meet Z in person. He thought this dream could never be realized again, but unexpectedly, Z has reappeared!
Frank quickly sent a team invitation to Z, desperately hoping he would agree. Meanwhile, downstairs, Diana was admiring her own track record when she suddenly received a message from someone asking her to team up. She usually ignores people who ask her to team up every day, but this particular account has been messaging her constantly.
[I am your fan! Let's team up for a match!]
[I promise I won't drag you down. My skills are pretty strong too!]
[I'm Frank, the owner of KG Esports Club. You know me, don't you...?]
Upon reading this, Diana paused for a moment before a mischievous smile appeared on her lips. Oh, it's that guy with green hair. Let's play with him for a bit. Diana casually clicked on the agree button.
On the other end, Frank was frantically sending messages to Z when he suddenly realized that he was already on Z's team. He agreed! Frank jumped up from the sofa in excitement and shouted, "John! Z agreed to team up with me!"
John, who was focused on his phone, lifted his cold gaze slightly and uttered two words indifferently: "Childish. It's just a game. Is there a need to get so excited?" He then lowered his head again and opened another webpage - What type of guy do girls like? - to continue his studies.
Frank didn't even care about John's reaction anymore. He quickly joined the game with Z. The game was a highly popular first person shooter game called "PUBG Mobile," where a certain number of players were placed in a server and were given a specific amount of time to kill all their opponents. The duo's skills were top-notch, and they didn't need to put in much effort. They immediately killed anyone they saw with just one shot. Frank kept chattering on the side.
[Z, where have you been all these years? Why did you only show up now?]
[How old are you now? Your reaction speed is still incredible!]
[Why don't you consider joining our club? We can offer you any amount of money you want!]
[Or maybe we could have a competition and see who can get more kills?]
Diana felt a sense of satisfaction as she watched Frank's constant attempts to get her attention while playing the game. However, as he texted more and more, Diana started to find it annoying. Keeping a cool and distant demeanor, Diana began to single-handedly take down the enemy. Frank was also a skilled player, and soon the map showed that there was only one enemy left. If they could defeat this last enemy, they would win the game.
