Diana mocked with a cold sneer, "I was expecting something more from you. Well, you're nothing special after all. Why would Davon be head over heels in love with a woman like you? Roman men need strong, confident, domineering women. You are too weak you won't survive a day in our family."

Violla slowly opened her eyes and looked at the woman with a puzzled mind. "Who… Who are you?" she asked weakly.

Diana smirked. "You don't have to know who I am. Just remember that I'm someone whom you can't afford to cross."

"What do you want from me?" Violla muttered with her weak voice while panting.

"Hehe…" Diana chuckled creepily. "I'm going to return you to Davon. Before that, I want to give you a present."

Diana made a gesture as she said.Two bodyguards swiftly pinned Violla down.

Jane took out a syringe and slowly approached Violla.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!" Violla's eyes widened in shock and she struggled with all her might. "What's this? No! Stop it! Ah…"

Eventually, Violla failed to break free from the two men. Jane injected Violla with some unknown transparent liquid.

Violla shouted at the top of her lungs. She kept struggling and shaking her head but she was defenseless.

She had no idea what kind of liquid it was, nor did she know what kind of damage it might cause her. Fear seeped through her bones.

Diana crossed her legs and sat comfortably on the sofa, swirling the wine in the glass.She grinned maliciously and stared down at Violla as if she was her prey.

Violla's hair sprawled out behind her as she kept struggling, gradually revealing her beautiful face.

Seeing her facial features, Diana froze in her position. The next second, she looked at Violla in astonishment.

Diana blinked in dubiety, thinking she was mistaken. She immediately instructed, "Raise your head!"

Jane squeezed Violla's chin and forcefully held her head up.A gorgeous face came into view.

Diana was dumbstruck as if she had just seen the devil. Her eyes were filled with surprise and fear.

After a moment, Diana uttered a name, "Tamara Usher?"

Violla shivered upon hearing the name. She raised her head and looked at the cruel woman in front of her. "How… How do you know that name?" she asked.

"What's your relationship with Tamara Usher?" Diana got emotional as she asked.

Before Violla could answer her question, she fell onto the bed and started crying out in pain. The body part where she got the injection was hurting so much.

After a few seconds, she passed out while white foam leaked from her lips.

Diana was still frozen in her position, staring at Violla in disbelief.

After a long time, Diana recomposed herself and hurriedly ordered, "Check her background now! I want to know everything about this woman. Do it now!"

"Yes!" Jane took action at once.

"Diana Roman, the injection is completed. Three months later, she'll be a cripple at your mercy," the bodyguard spoke.

Diana remained silent as she was lost in her thoughts.It was as though she was trying to prove something.

"Miss Diana, it's time to go," another bodyguard reminded her.

Diana stood up and took a glance at Violla. "Don't touch her anymore. Don't do anything to hurt her.Just clean her up and get her into the car."

"Yes, Miss Roman." After half an hour, Violla was carried into a car. She was still unconscious.

Diana sat beside her. She squinted her eyes and stared at Violla. The emotions flickering in her eyes were complicated.The car then slowly drove off to the City.

Jane was working on the laptop and making calls. She was using all the connections they had to check out Violla's background as quickly as possible.

"I need to know everything before I meet Davon," Diana ordered.

Jane was in a tight spot. "I'll try my best. It seems like someone has covered up this woman's background. There isn't much information about her. I've only managed to find out that her father was the former richest man in the City, Gerald Milan.''

"Gerald Milan !" Diana was shocked by the information. "Do you mean the man who I watched die four years ago?"

"Please have a look." Jane handed the laptop to Diana.

Diana checked it out and scrolled through the page, then she sneered excitedly, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect the businessman whom I forced to commit suicide and write a suicide note under duress was Tamara's lover. Haha…"

"Miss Roman, it's just speculation so far. We don't know anything for sure yet. Besides, Gerald Milan was just an ordinary businessman. He wasn't in the syndicate How could he possibly be in a relationship with Tamara?"

"You're right. We should verify that." Diana stared at Violla coldly while playing with the ring on her ring finger. After a long while, she made a phone call.

The phone rang for quite a long time before a deep voice came from the other side. "Hello."

"Tarique Junior, it's been a while." Diana's lips curled up. She sounded friendly yet arrogant. "There's something I would like to ask you."

"What is it?" Tarique Junior had his guard up.

"Tamara… Did she have a daughter?" Diana tentatively asked the question.

Tarique Junior didn't see that coming. He fell silent for a long time before he found his voice, "I guess you've met Violla."

Diana was trying to piece everything together. "I knew Tamara had a lover and she gave birth to a baby."

She paused for a few seconds before she continued asking, "Her lover was Gerald Milan. She went to him after my brother Dante Roman broke up with her. Am I right? "

"I don't know. Gerald Milan is dead and so is Dante Roman so no one can verify the truth now. It's just your speculation. Stop hurting innocent people," Tarique Junior replied.

"So I guess I am right. Violla Milan is the daughter of Tamara and Gerald!" Diana concluded.

"Diana, that's enough. Let bygones be bygones. Your brother is long dead. He had forgiven Tamara for what she did in the Syndicate, shooting him and Dan .He had also forgiven her for attempting to murder him after he jilted her. Stop the nonsense!" Tarique Junior scowled.

"You're such a kind man. Your daughter is getting engaged to Davon but he's thinking of another woman. Don't you find it disturbing? Ah, I get it. Violla is Tamara's daughter, so you choose her over your own daughter. Am I right?"

" Because Tamara was also your lover back in the days. But Usher wouldn't let her get married to you. Usher wanted Tamara to get married into a powerful family. Allow me to ask you . Is Tamara even dead or is she in the Central Nation ,Lover boy?" Diana said mockingly.

"Tamara Usher is dead. But let me warn you.If you hurt Violla and she makes a single call for help! The hell that will come from the Central Nation not even the Romans' can bring the half of it. Let Violla be Diana Roman." Tarique Junior said her name through his clenched teeth.

"Don't worry, Tarique Junior. I'm just asking out of curiosity. I won't do anything funny to your ex-lover's daughter. But do remember Dante Roman was my favorite brother. Can you imagine if Tamara had managed to kill him then . What could have happened to my family and the Syndicate?" Diana ended the call and gazed at Violla who was still unconscious.

Diana curled her lips into an evil smile, "I guess I have luck on my side. If I had known she is Tamara's daughter, I wouldn't have wasted so much effort."

Diana patted Violla on her beautiful face. "Tamara, you're really my lucky star. You're helping me out even though you're dead."

Meanwhile, Violla had no idea what was going on.All she felt was pain. Every part of her body hurt. It was as if tens of thousands of bugs were biting her body.She felt that she was dying at the moment.

On the other side, Davon had a nightmare. In his dream, Violla arrived in a car and he couldn't wait to see her. However, as he opened the door, Violla was already dead. Blood oozed out of every orifice in her body.

Diana stood behind them and laughed ferociously like a lunatic.

Davon jolted awake from the nightmare. Sweat dotted his forehead and his heart was pounding rapidly.He hadn't experienced such feelings ever since the night when he lost his family.

A foreboding thought emerged in his mind. He took a look at the time. It was already half-past six in the evening. He felt increasingly anxious by the minute.

He immediately got out of the bed, then he washed his face to calm himself down. After that, he went downstairs to wait for Diana.

He had to get Violla back as soon as possible and make sure she was unharmed.

"Mr. Roman, don't worry. Clyde has his eyes on their every move. Aunt Diana's car entered the City three hours ago. She'll arrive in no time."

Davon focused on the incoming cars, waiting for Diana's arrival.Although he appeared to be calm as a millpond, his emotions were rioting inside.

Cruze dared not say a word. He stood beside Davon, accompanying him in silence. Their bodyguards were on full alert.

Immaculate came over with a few female medical staff. They were on standby for Violla's arrival.A minute passed, then two. Ten minutes had passed.They still didn't manage to see Diana's convoy.

Davon impatiently glanced at his watch. It was already seven o'clock. He frowned and continued to monitor the movement on the road. There were cars driving by, but none of them were Diana's.

'What is that woman up to?'

Davon took out his phone and wanted to give Clyde a call.Right then, Cruze said, "They're here!"

Davon raised his head and saw a convoy of cars slowly driving over. The convoy was escorting a Hummer.

Cruze made a gesture with his hand and all the bodyguards kept their guard up.

Davon squinted his eyes and stared at the Hummer until Diana's men got out of the car and formed two rows in a defensive position.

The men from both sides were facing off one another directly.After that, a few female bodyguards got out of the car and opened the door for Diana. She stepped out of the car elegantly, radiating a cold and powerful aura as one of the Romans'.

"Long time no see, my good nephew!" Diana took off her sunglasses and cast a cold smirk at Davon.

"Where is she?" Davon was not in the mood to talk gibberish. He just wanted to see Violla right away.

Diana smiled and gestured to Jane. The latter opened the door for Violla, who was dressed in white, laying quietly at the rear seat. She was unconscious.

Immaculate quickly took her team over and carefully placed Violla on a gurney, then they pushed her to Davon's side.

Davon furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Violla. Her face was pale and looked very frail. She must've suffered a lot.

Davon's heart ached seeing her condition, but he pretended to be collected. "Examine her," he ordered.

"Understood." Without further ado, Immaculate and the medical staff pushed Violla into the hospital.Cruze shot a glance and several bodyguards immediately followed them.

"It's just a few lashes. You're overreacting," Diana mocked.

"You'd better not play tricks with me." Davon glared at her.

Diana raised her eyebrows. "I'm your aunt. You shouldn't talk to me like that just because of a woman. Are you trying to play "Romeo", like your dad?"

"It's none of your business." Davon frowned.

Diana simply shrugged. "Okay. Can I see your grandpa now?"

Instead of replying, Davon just turned around and walked into the hospital.

Diana followed after him. Her bodyguards were about to follow but Cruze stopped them from entering the building.

"I'm sorry, Miss Roman. You can only bring a bodyguard with you," Cruze said respectfully.

"How dare you defy me!" Diana gave him a deathly stare. After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and made a gesture with her hand.The others backed down and only Jane followed her.

"Don't provoke Grandpa. Watch what you say," Davon reminded Diana.

The latter found him ridiculous. "He's my father, of course I won't harm him," she sneered.

"Who knows? You've never been a good daughter to him, over the years since grandma died." Davon retorted.

"That was because he was so biased. He left all his legacy to your father. After your father died, he left it to you. I poured my heart and soul into the Roman family but I got nothing in return, of course I'm pissed." Diana snarled.

"You've got a lot. Be content with that," Davon replied.

He didn't say anything else after that. Actually, he didn't agree with D'barl's act of biasness.

Indeed, D'barl left the majority of the assets to Davon as if the latter was the only family heir. However, Diana had got a lot too.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to develop her company on such a large scale. Diana always picked a bone with Davon as she wanted everything to be equal between the two of them forgetting he had a lot because he was the only one from Dante. D'barl was annoyed by her behavior as she always caused a ruckus in the family because of her jealousy towards Davon.

Moreover, Diana made a scene on D'barl's birthday dinner a dozen years ago. D'barl was so angry that he got a stroke.

Fortunately, the Roman family had a professional medical team. After several years of treatment, D'barl slowly got better.Ever since then, Davon had forbidden Diana to see his grandpa in private.

Arriving at the building, Davon didn't take Diana to D'barl's ward straightaway. Instead, he stopped in his tracks and waited for Immaculate's call.

"Is that really necessary? I told you I didn't touch her other than giving her a few lashes. We're almost there. Just take me to him already." Diana furrowed her brows in displeasure.

"I'll let you see him if there's nothing wrong with Violla." As a matter of fact, Davon wished he could take Diana to D'barl because that would mean that Violla was fine.

If Violla was slightly injured, he could close one eye. However, if Violla was harmed in any other way, he would end Diana's life on the spot, without mercy.

"You're such a loser! Your grandpa shouldn't make you the heir of the Roman family. You choose a woman over your own blood. How can an irrational man like you be the head of our family?" Daina sneered.

"Indeed, I'm not as cold-blooded as you are. Unfortunately, you've been cast out of the family, together with uncle Dan and his family. Uncle Dylan however told grandpa he was uninterested,he and his family don't want anything to do with the Roman's assets. Since there are no other offspring of the Roman's, only me and your useless sons, so it was not a difficult decision to make anyway," Davon replied coldly.

"You…" Diana's face turned ashen with anger. Her eyes were flaring with rage like a raging bull, exuding a murderous aura. She could forgive Davon for being rude to her, but she couldn't tolerate any of his insults towards her sons.

Diana stared at Davon. " Drew is an innocent and kind man. He'll definitely surpass you one day. Besides, I'll make you pay for what you did to him the other day. Just wait and see."

Davon turned a deaf ear to her threat and focused on his phone instead.

Soon, Immaculate called him, "Mr. Roman, miss Milan is in a pretty bad shape. Her back is seriously injured. There are no other serious injuries, nor signs of sexual assault. I can only identify these problems so far. I'm still checking on her and I need some time."

Davon felt relieved upon hearing her evaluation. He raised his eyes to stare at Diana. "You're going to pay for what you did to her."

"We'll settle them later, once and for all." Diana smirked arrogantly. "So can I see him now?"

Davon made a gesture and the bodyguards made way for her. Diana got into the elevator with Jane.

Douglas was waiting outside the ward. Seeing Diana ,he bowed to her. "Miss Diana, you're here."

"It's been a while, Mr. Douglas." Diana gave a respectful nod in return.

"Yes, it's been a long time since we last met. You look gorgeous, as always." Douglas smiled.

"Thank you." Diana cast a faint smile at him, then she followed the medical staff to the room next door and changed into the isolation gown.

After that, Davon and Douglas led the way to the ward while Diana followed after them.

Cruze and Jane waited outside. Disgusted by one another, they gave a sneer and turned around.

Upon seeing the old man on the bed, Diana no longer had that murderous expression on her face. Instead, her expression was rather complicated.It was a combination of love, resentment and hatred.

Diana stood in her position for a long while before she stepped forward and took a closer look at D'barl. Her eyes were looking somewhat desolate.She opened her mouth but no words came out. All of a sudden, she was at a loss for words.

Douglas was moved seeing her response. He spoke softly, "Mr. Old Roman missed you, Miss Diana. He once muttered your name when he was half-awake."

"Really?" Diana couldn't believe her ears. ''Do I really have a place in his heart?''

"Of course." Just when Douglas was speaking, D'barl wriggled a little and his lips were moving. He was muttering some words.

Diana got closer to him and tried to grasp his mutter.
