Chapter 2942: Chapter 2460: She Brought All This upon Herself
When Lady Octavia said the name "Mia Kinsman," Diana Kinsman gripped her phone tightly, a vicious look in her eyes.
"Why do you know Mia Kinsman? Who are you? Mia Kinsman...Diana... what connection do you have to Mia Kinsman?"
"You don’t need to know who I am. You want your little granddaughter back, right? Fine, I’ll give you a chance." Just a moment ago, Diana suddenly changed her mind and came up with a new plan.
She felt that her new plan would be more satisfying to execute.
"A chance, what kind of chance?"
"I can return your granddaughter to you, but you’ll have to send your husband, Darren Heath, to talk to me. Remember, he must come alone. If I find out he’s brought anyone else, don’t blame me for being heartless. You have two hours. If I don’t see anyone after two hours, you might never see the little princess again."
"As for where I am right now, I believe that your two capable sons will be able to find out soon enough. Of course, if they can’t, don’t blame me for not giving you the chance."
"Wait, you..." Lady Octavia wanted to say something else.
But Diana hung up the phone directly.
She casually threw the phone on the cabinet, turned around, and slowly walked to the bedside.
The little girl, who had just woken up not long ago, closed her eyes again. The dimple at the corner of her mouth reappeared, and within just two or three minutes, she fell asleep sucking her thumb once more.
"Tch, really carefree, falling asleep again." Looking at the little girl’s chubby pink cheeks, Diana couldn’t help but poke them with her hand.
The baby’s skin was delicate and felt extremely soft.
She lightly prodded her, and a faint red mark appeared on the baby’s cheek.
Diana looked at it, withdrew her hand, and a complicated expression appeared in her eyes. She stared at the sleeping baby for a while before turning her head towards the window: "Whether or not you can keep this tiny life depends on how much Darren values you."
"Darren, after all these years, it’s time to settle some debts. My mom was kind and didn’t want to hate you or blame you, and that doesn’t mean you can act like nothing ever happened. You hurt her, making her live a gloomy life for over twenty years, and never willing to accept anyone else because of you. If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have ended her life at the age of forty."
"It’s time to pay back what you owe her."

Lady Octavia hesitated for a long time before finally calling Darren.
The phone rang for a while before it was finally answered.
Lady Octavia gripped her phone tightly: "Darren..."
As if afraid that Darren would say something unbearable to her, Lady Octavia preempted him, "Darren, I’m here to tell you about Stacy. She’s with Diana Kinsman right now and she’s... currently safe."
"So, it was really you who handed Stacy over to Diana?" Darren’s voice was no longer as gentle and indulgent as before, but rather cold, a cold that Lady Octavia had never felt before.
Hearing his indifferent voice, Lady Octavia felt dazed for a few seconds, thinking that the voice sounded so unfamiliar.
It didn’t sound like the voice of the husband who had pampered her for over twenty years.
But she knew that all of this was her own doing.
She had made a mistake which even she herself couldn’t forgive.
