The more Diya thought about it, the more frightened she became. She looked panicked and could only sit on the chair helplessly……

  Fiennes, of course, knew that what he had said today had probably shocked this young girl who was only eighteen years old.

  He reached out and patted Diya’s shoulder. His voice was deep, as if he was comforting her, but also as if he was warning her.

  “I know that you are at a loss when you just found out about this, but you have to understand, and always remember that you are a member of the Siswell family. Don’t stand on the wrong side!”


  Diya’s body trembled slightly. She nodded her head in a daze.

  However, she suddenly realized something after just three seconds!

  Diya suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Fiennes’ arm with extreme urgency.

  “Brother, then can you spare His Highness’ life?”


  At this moment, Diya was still thinking about how to save the life of the person she loved……

  When Fiennes heard this, he was almost angered to the point of vomiting blood by his silly sister!

  He tried his best to shake off Diya’s hand. The light from the maglev car shone on Fiennes’ face, illuminating his deep blue eyes.

  “Let me ask you first. If our family is defeated, would that man be moved by your words and even spare our family?”


  Diya had wanted to say yes without hesitation. However, when she saw Fiennes’ cold eyes, she was suddenly stunned.

  Diya was frightened and did not dare to think deeply about her brother’s question.

  If their family was defeated, would His Highness spare them?

  Or, even if she knelt in front of the high priest, would the high priest spare their family?

  This answer was already very obvious.

  However, Diya did not dare to face it, because she was afraid of that answer.

  Fiennes lowered his head, his blue eyes reflecting Diya’s slightly pale face.

  “I do not ask you to help me with anything, but Diya, I do not wish for you to speak for outsiders. I do not wish for you to harbor any illusions towards that rotten God’s Palace, the high priest, or the emperor!”


  Even though she was sitting on the chair, Diya felt her legs go weak.

  She bit her lips heavily and could only mumble a sentence in the end.

  “Alright, I promise you.”


  After saying that, Diya had no strength left in her body. She could only force her gaze out of the window.

  For the first time, she knew that her brother could also be so oppressive.

  She felt as though she was being pressed down by something and could not breathe at all.

  Seeing that Diya had agreed, Fiennes stood up. He followed Diya’s gaze and glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window. He said meaningfully.

  “It’s going to rain……”


  After he said that, Fiennes also sat down and looked at Diya indifferently from the corner of his eyes.

  He said those words today in order to let Diya see his situation clearly as soon as possible.

  He would send people to monitor this silly and sweet sister of his. On one hand, it was to prevent Diya from doing anything stupid. On the other hand, it was also to protect her.

  So what if he stood as the head of the four great families?

  Their Siswell family would one day overthrow the so-called God’s Palace and become a truly admirable existence!……

  A slender figure was standing by the lakeside of the God’s Palace in a daze.

  It was Su Wan.

  The lake water was deep and clear. A few small red fish were swimming in the lake water because there was an unknown tree next to it. There were even a few fallen leaves floating in the lake water.

  Su Wan looked at those carefree fish and slightly pursed her lips.

  Sometimes, she felt that being a fish was better than being a person.

  Suddenly, Su Wan felt a cold drop of water falling from the sky and landing on the back of her hand.

  It was very cold.

  Su Wan was stunned. She raised her head slightly and saw that the sky had become gloomy. The dark clouds had formed into lumps and covered one layer after another.

  Was it raining?

  Su Wan came to this conclusion lightly, but her beautiful face was extremely numb. There was no expression at all.

  She lowered her head and looked at the surface of the lake. She saw her face reflected in the clear water of the lake. She was as pale as a ghost.

  Was she reflected here?

  When had she become like this? Although her facial features had not changed, she gave people the feeling that she was a lifeless marionette.

  Su Wan’s fingers tightened silently as she stared at the lake. All of a sudden, she saw a man and a woman hugging each other on the lake.

  It was the scene that she saw in the ward earlier. Jiang Xuecheng and Diya were hugging each other.

  The two of them were like intimate lovers, leaning against each other.

  That scene was very pleasing to the eye, but in Su Wan’s eyes, it was filled with piercing feelings.

  In the past, Jiang Xuecheng did not like other women to get close to him.

  However……

  Now, Jiang Xuecheng allowed Diya to hug him. Did that mean that he also accepted Diya?

  Su Wan pursed her lips tightly. Her eyes were slightly red. She rubbed the space between her brows. Her expression was filled with sadness.

  The scene of Jiang Xuecheng hugging Diya was still in the lake. The more Su Wan looked at it, the more she felt that it was an eyesore. She could not help but bow and half-kneel on the ground. She kept patting the phantom in the water.

  Why hadn’t the phantom dispersed yet?!

  Because of Su Wan’s action of patting the surface of the water, the little red fish that came out of the lake to get some air were startled. They all swam to the side one after another.

  An intense cold wind blew over. The thin clothes on Su Wan’s body were constantly blown up.

  Raindrops suddenly arrived. One drop after another fell on Su Wan’s clothes, face, and shoulders……

  Su Wan was drenched, but she did not move to hide from the rain.

  The wind blew on her face, and it hurt.

  She raised her head, and the cold raindrops slid down her cheeks. No one could tell whether it was rain or the tears that fell from Su Wan’s face.

  Su Wan’s body was not in good shape to begin with. In the heavy rain and wind, her face turned pale from the cold, and she could not help but cough.

  Forget it. Just because Jiang Xuecheng and Diya were hugging, she was going to stay here in the rain like a fool?!

  She had already said that she would leave the God’s Palace. Why should she be heartbroken over these things?

  Su Wan laughed at herself. She was just about to stand up slowly, but after sitting on the ground for too long, her legs could not help but go soft. She almost fell into the lake.

  Su Wan’s heart froze. She subconsciously wanted to hurriedly pull the stone beside her.

  However, before she could pull the rock, she heard hurried footsteps behind her and the sound of something being thrown away.

  Su Wan felt that she was being pulled hard. Her center of gravity was unstable, and she was dragged backward by the person behind her.

  The sky was as dark as ink. The heavy rain poured down onto the ground. The rain fell down along Su Wan’s hair and seeped into her thin clothes.

  She looked up and saw Jiang Xuecheng.

  The slender figure stood in front of her, and there was a big black umbrella not far away.

  Jiang Xuecheng grabbed Su Wan’s collar and roared!

  “Do you really want to leave me with your death?!”
