    Caroline gritted her teeth, her chest heaving with frustration.


    The pain of suppressing her rage was unbearable. She had been so confident, so certain she could drive ire away from Frederick. Yet, with one announcement of an engagement from Nathan, all her fantasies and hopes were dashed to pieces.


    Her heart pounded as though it would give out at any moment. Unable to contain herself, she grabbed her phone and ran out of the Halfmoon Manor.


    Once outside, she immediately dialed Diana.


    "Diana, what on earth is going on? How could Frederick suddenly decide to get engaged to ire?"


    As soon as the call connected, Caroline screamed hysterically into the phone.


    "What? An engagement? What''s going on?"


    Diana bolted upright from her bed, utterly shocked. She had no idea what any of this was about.


    "You don''t know? I don''t know either! I just overheard Frederick talking to ire on the phone. Apparently, your father instructed him to get engaged to her!"


    Caroline tried to force herself to stay calm as she exined everything to Diana.

    "Don''t panic. I''ll figure out what''s going on right now," Diana assured her.


    Without wasting a moment, she hung up and headed


    downstairs.


    "Where are you going?"


    The moment Diana descended the stairs, she spotted Jane sitting in the living room, leisurely sipping coffee.


    "I''m not going anywhere. I just came to ask you about Frederick and ire''s engagement. What''s this all about?"


    Diana rushed over to confront her mother.


    "Oh, it''s nothing unusual. They''re getting engaged. Isn''t that perfectly normal? Besides, they were betrothed years ago. Both the Prescott and Hawthorne families agreed to it back then," Jane said nonchntly, setting her coffee cup down as if discussing something entirely trivial. "All we''ve done is move the old engagement forward," she added.


    "But four years ago, ire was responsible for Anna''s death! You all know that!" Diana was visibly shaken, the memory of Anna''s tragic end flooding her mind.


    "Yes, I know. And so what? Anna wasn''t anything special. I know she saved your life, but didn''t you already repay that debt

    four years ago? Didn''t you almost strangle ire to death for it? And didn''t your father lock you up for days because of it?" Jane''s gaze flicked up to meet Diana''s as she calmly set her coffee cup aside.


    "What about Frederick?" Diana asked, shifting her focus back to her brother. Yet, she immediately recalled what Caroline had said earlier-that Frederick himself had called ire that morning to discuss the engagement.


    "Frederick doesn''t have any objections. Why? Do you?" Jane''s tone turned sharp, her lips curling into a cold smile as if daring Diana to defy her.


    "Mom, there must be a reason for all this! How could Frederick possibly agree to an engagement with ire? He loved Anna so much! Please, tell me what''s really going on here?"


    Diana stood frozen,pletely shocked. She simply couldn''t fathom how Frederick, who despised ire, would ever consent to such a union. Her voice rose into a desperate shout.


    "Enough! You useless child! Try shouting at me one more time, and see what happens!" Jane snapped, her voice ice-cold. "Yes, Anna saved your life, but you did everything you could for her four years ago. Don''t drag that matter into this again!"


    "Have you forgotten how many days your father locked you up back then? You''re nothing but a troublemaker! I''m warning you, if you meddle in Frederick''s affairs one more time, you''ll regret it!" Jane stood abruptly, ncing around to ensure no one else was listening, then delivered a sharp p to Diana''s face. Chapter 153 Anger Beyond Words "You hit me? For ire?"


    Diana clutched her cheek, stunned.


    Her disbelief turned to rage, convinced that her mother had chosen to side with ire while she remained loyal to Anna.


    "I... hitting you is the least I should do! Keep sticking your nose where it doesn''t belong, and I swear I''ll do worse!" Jane barked.


    She hadn''t nned tosh out physically, but Diana''s tant disregard for the situation had pushed her over the edge.


    "Fine! Go ahead and kill me if you''re so capable!" Diana yelled back, tears welling in her eyes.


    With her pride wounded and temper ring, she stormed upstairs, mming her bedroom door shut behind her.


    Copsed on her bed, Diana burst into sobs, her cries echoing in the empty room. After her tears subsided, she grabbed her phone and called Caroline.


    "Caroline, tell me the truth-do you like Frederick?" Diana''s


    voice was raw.
