Chapter 388
Diana had finally come to terms with the situation.
First off, Connor was right there with her, showing the same care as always. Secondly, she figured that since this was a live show, Claire would have to think twice before doing anything too crazy.
Connor's face didn't soften a bit. In fact, he looked even more serious. Diana sensed something was off.
Carefully, she asked, “Uncle Connor, did you come to see me for another reason?"
Connor didn't beat around the bush, "Why would you do something like that?"
Diana's face went stiff for a moment. Then she tried to play dumb, "Uncle Connor, what are you talking about?"
"Let me give you another chance, Diana. If you're not going to be honest with me, then just forget I said anything. But don't come crying later!" Connor's gaze was fixed on Diana, sharp and cold like a dagger. It was the first time she'd seen him look at her like that. Her heart pounded like a drum. It felt like her secret was out.
Her mind was a mess, but she didn't know where to start. She just stood there, frozen.
Connor turned to leave without another word. As he was about to reach the door, Diana suddenly ran over and hugged him from behind. "Uncle Connor, I'm sorry. Please forgive me just this once, okay?"
Connor pushed her away without a trace of mercy. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"In the morning, the butler took me to the stables and gave me a small jar of jelly beans. He said the horses at the ranch get more spirited if they eat these candies. He told me if there's someone I don't like, I could feed their horse these candies."
Connor's voice was cold and his look towards Diana was icy and disappointed, "So you fed Chloe's horse these candies? You wanted to kill her?"
"No, Uncle Connor, that wasn't my intention. I didn't want to hurt her. I was just... confused. I didn't know who was more important to you between us, so I thought I'd use this method to find out."
Diana looked up at Connor, "Not only did I feed her horse the jelly beans, but I also fed them to my own horse. If I really wanted to harm her, I wouldn't have fed my own horse the same candies. I thought they would only make the horses a bit more spirited. I didn't realize it would be this serious, that they would go mad. I think I was also set up. It was Claire's trap."

Diana said so much, but Connor seemed unmoved.
Diana tried to grab Connor's sleeve, "I really didn't mean to harm anyone, Uncle Connor. It wasn't intentional just wanted to be sure you cared more about me. When I found out something had happened, and you were the first one to come after me, I regretted it. I'm sorry." Content

Connor coldly shook off Diana's hand. "I think you misunderstood. From the beginning, I was going after her."
Diana's eyes widened. "But you were clearly heading in my direction. I saw the surveillance footage..."
"I was just taking a shortcut through the hillside."This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
That statement nearly broke Diana. Tears blurred her vision. No wonder in the end, Connor and Chloe had returned together. Diana could no longer deceive herself, "Uncle Connor, why couldn't you just lie to me?"
Connor's indifference completely shattered Diana's defenses.
She finally raised her voice in question, "Uncle Connor, if you have no romantic feelings for me, why did you touch me last night?"
