Maria checked the CCTV at the corner of the elevator. This place was an elite apartment with CCTV everywhere, so the security guard must watch their move.
Maria wanted to just seize this black bimbo right here, right now, and then drag her out of the apartment to an empty, abandoned building, where Maria could torture her as much as she wanted until Diamond didn't even dare to raise her head anymore, just like what Vincent did to Chloe.
But this place wasn't safe to beat someone up, and Diamond's confidence already showed she had the upper hand.
Maria looked over her shoulder. She brought two henchmen who were burly and strong enough to handle one stupid woman. So she had nothing to worry about.
Thus, she smirked evilly at Diamond and said, "Please lead the way to your apartment, Ms. Johnson. I want to have a little chat with you."
Diamond scoffed, "Sure, I'd love to see you try."
Maria was a bit distraught by Diamond's confidence. No matter how good the CCTV around the apartment could be, there was no way she could fight back against two strong men once they entered her apartment room.
Diamond stopped at her apartment floor and led the way to her apartment room. She strutted leisurely, turning the corridor into a runway until she stopped in front of her door.
She looked over her shoulder for a moment. Maria was eyeing her like a predator, ready to kill her prey, but Diamond wasn't scared at all because she also had a little surprise for this old hag.
Click.
Diamond unlocked the door. She could faintly hear footsteps inside her house. Thus she raised her voice and said, "Since I have three uninvited guests coming to my apartment, then it's just right for me to greet you with two butlers of mine."
Diamond opened the door and was greeted by the sight of her two brothers standing side by side, glaring at the uninvited guests in front of them.
Maria's eyes widened, and she stepped back subconsciously when she saw the uniform and a badge she feared.
Diamond turned around and smirked as she stood in front of those two powerful men, "Should I introduce you to my two butlers? They happen to be my brothers, by the way."
"B—Brothers?!" Maria's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She thought those two might've been Diamond's boyfriends because she looked like a cheap bimbo that used her body to gain male's favor.
If that was the case, Maria could always take them to her side with a bribe or entice them with a more beautiful woman.
But the family connection was a different thing.
"Yup," Diamond stepped back and hugged her brother's arm on the right, "This is my little brother, Derek. He happens to be a cop in the New York Police Department. He might be young, but I'm sure you won't want to mess around with him."
Maria checked the man on the right. He was a young cop wearing a police uniform. He looked robust and bigger than both of the henchmen Maria brought. His arms could crush their heads, and his punch could definitely make a hole in their chests.
The two henchmen were also intimidated immediately upon facing a fully armed, strong, and tall policeman in front of them. After all, they were just gangsters. They knew they weren't a match against a properly trained cop
Diamond smirked maliciously as she saw that Derek intimidated the two henchmen Maria had brought. But Maria seemed stronger mentally compared to those two wimps with big bodies.
Then, she hugged her brother's arm on the left and introduced him, "This one is my big brother, Desmond. He happens to be a district attorney in Queens, New York. You can see it from his badge, right?" Diamond nudged the badge on Desmond's suit, which showed that he was a legit district attorney that Maria shouldn't mess around with.
Maria's mental fortitude finally faltered once she knew she was also facing the district attorney. She could still play along and manipulate a cop, but an attorney, especially the state-owned one, was NOT something she shouldn't fight.
Diamond was satisfied with Maria's expression. It seemed her two brothers were enough to scare the shit out of Maria.
"Should we come inside and have a chat?" Diamond offered. "I am so~ eager to know what you want to talk about, Mrs. Maria Orien."
Maria's heartbeat skipped for a second once Diamond mentioned her maiden surname. She always tried to hide her real surname because she didn't want to be traced.
Thus, she always introduced herself as Maria Gray because she was basically married to her job and the Gray company. She dedicated her life to that family, so she was already part of it, right? She was proud to hold Gray's surname as Mr. Vaughn Gray's favored employee.
So, for Diamond to know about her maiden name, this bimbo must've done her research far earlier than her. She was truly someone that Maria couldn't mess around with.
"N—No need," Maria said nervously. "I have nothing to say to you."
"Oh good, now you should turn around and walk away. Oh, don't run though, I'm afraid you might get a sudden heart attack, you dying old bitch," Diamond sneered.
Maria clenched her fist, she had never been so humiliated in her life, and she couldn't believe she'd be humiliated by a bimbo like Diamond.
Unfortunately, all she could do now was to leave because she couldn't fight a cop and a district attorney.
Thus, Maria turned around and walked away from Diamond. Her two henchmen quickly scurried behind her like two big rats. It was a funny scene for Diamond because she had been itchy to do something against this old bitch who dared to hurt her best friend.
"Don't forget to report this to Vincent! I'm sure he will be happy to know that he's going to go bankrupt soon!" Diamond yelled.
