Next to Jasper, Diana bit her lower lip in frustration.

Was Maddox being too obvious?

It was as if he were broadcasting to the world that he disliked her!

It was outrageous, completely outrageous!

Diana took several deep breaths to compose herself and turned to Vivienne with a smile. "Vivienne, I rushed over here and didn't have time to pick up a gift for you. How about we hit the shops later, and anything you fancy, it's on me."

"No, that's alright, I don't need anything," Vivienne replied, eager to keep her distance.

For some reason, Vivienne always felt uneasy around Diana. It was not just because Diana was adopted into the Perez family; there was something off-putting about her.

Maybe it was what people called 'bad vibes.'

Diana moved closer, eagerly grabbing Vivienne's hand again. "Vivienne, don't be like that with me. Even if you've got everything, one more thing won't hurt. Us girls can never have too many treats, right, Zelda?"

Zelda looked up from her book and said, "Absolutely, I'll tag along. I always believe in the more the merrier when it comes to my closet."

Yuri coughed, glancing at the pile of unopened shopping bags near Zelda.

Yeah, the more the merrier.

Diana forced a laugh, but with Zelda jumping in, she could not very well refuse. "Alright, let's go together."

While she appeared enthusiastic, Diana was fuming inside.
