Chapter 467 - 49: Get Out Of My Way

Kyle felt as if his heart was being ripped in two.

Diana was wearing Brian's coat. She was leaning on his c.h.e.s.t and looked quite peaceful. There was no sign that Brian was forcing her.

Why? Why was she willing to leave with him? What had happened in the past half an hour?

Kyle couldn't bear it. He had to ask Diana what she thought about him. Even if he got rejected, he had to know!

Kyle rushed to the car. He had to talk with Diana.

As he was approaching the car, a man came across, blocking his path. He was a handsome man, with curly hair tied behind his head, wearing a smart, dark Anderson suit. It was Ken.

Ken stopped and smiled. "Mr. Norton. What are you doing?"

"Get out of my way!" Kyle shouted angrily.

Ken grabbed Kyle to hold him back. The black Maybach burst into life, engine revving loudly, then cruised away slowly out of sight. Only once it was a safe distance away did Ken release Kyle from his grip.

Kyle stared at Ken and clenched his fists. Ken stood beside him coolly and ignored his anger, then stroll casually away into the night.

Kyle knew that Ken was a loyal servant of Brian, so he didn't bother scolding him. Moreover, he was wise enough not to pick a fight with a bodyguard.

The guests had all gone after the banquet. The hall was left in a chaotic mess.

Frustrated, Kyle fetched his things and headed to leave.

When he passed through the hall, he saw a girl squatting on the rug. Her shoulders were shrugged, and she seemed to be crying. Many people were passing by, but none were willing to help her. Worse still, there were several girls gathered around laughing at her.

Kyle thought he had seen her somewhere before. He walked over and asked gently, "Excuse me, Miss, can I help you?"

The girl on the floor sobbed and raised her head slowly. Her eyes were red from crying, and she looked quite miserable.

"Antonette?" Kyle uttered in shock.

"Kyle…" Seeing the handsome senior, Antonette cried even louder. People passing by all looked at them.

Kyle had no choice. Seeing her situation, he squatted down and asked gently, "Antonette, can you stand up?"

Antonette had been there for a while, so her legs had gone numb. She shook her head and cried.

"I can help you stand up." Kyle held Antonette and carefully pulled her up. She leaned heavily on his strong body. "Do you feel better now?" Kyle asked.

Antonette nodded her head. Without the high heels, her high-cut dress was dragging on the floor, and she looked a pitiful sight.

When Kyle was about to take his hands off her, Antonette quickly grasped his hand and said, "Kyle, can you walk me to the washroom?"

Based on her appearance, Kyle thought someone must have bullied her. He wanted to ask her what had happened, but she was clearly too distressed right now. Hearing her request, naturally, he couldn't refuse her.

The water was running in the washroom.

Antonette looked at herself in the mirror. Her bloodshot eyes looked back at her painfully, and she examined her ruined makeup. Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered, Antonette was full of anger. It was Diana who had made all this happen! She caused her to be humiliated by those girls! Antonette had thought Diana was innocent, but it turned out she was the worst.

Antonette never thought she did anything wrong. She never thought about how it was her idea to come to the party; that it was Anna who fooled her; that it was Brian who ignored her. She blamed everything on Diana and hated her for no good reason.

Antonette even hated Diana for protecting her from Anna, as if she cared! If she hadn't, Anna would have poured the drink on Antonette instead. Then Mr. William would have seen her! And he would have taken her home, not Diana!

Antonette lowered her head and looked at her dress. She stared at it for a long time. Then, out of nowhere, she began biting her dress! She tore it to pieces with her hands and teeth, as if she could release her anger in this way. Diana Anderson! I will never let you live in peace! Tears began streaming down her face again as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Hearing Antonette's sobs in the washroom, Kyle felt sorry for her. In some aspects, his status of being an illegitimate son made him suffer a lot. So, he always felt pity for those that were bullied by others.

Like just now, he himself was in a bad mood after seeing Diana leave with Brian, but he still chose to help Antonette. In his eyes, Antonette was vulnerable, and he had to help her. It was something that had gotten him in trouble a few times in the past.

Of course, he had no idea what Antonette was really thinking.

***

After a while, Antonette stumbled out of the washroom. She had cleaned off the makeup. Her pale face made her look more vulnerable.

Kyle had somehow found a pair of shoes for her to wear. He uttered gently, "I don't know your size. You can try them on."

Given the mess around them, it was certainly better to wear shoes than a walk in b.a.r.e feet. But the shoes were too big for Antonette, and she tripped. Her movement was very uncoordinated. Still, she ignored people's stares and walked forward, looking straight ahead.

Kyle pretended not to have seen her funny walk. He held her gently. "Where is your home? I can give you a ride."

Seeing her wretched situation, Kyle would feel bad for Diana if he didn't look after her friend.

Kyle's smile was warm. Unfortunately, Antonette's heart had been turned to ice. His smile could do nothing to thaw her cold heart.

Seeing Kyle's gorgeous face and his luxury suite, Antonette had a plan. She put on her most sorrowful face and told Kyle her address.

In her eyes, Kyle was like Diana. They were people she could use. And due to his characteristics, Kyle was easier to control.

Kyle didn't speak. He helped Antonette into his car and drove away.

On the journey home, Antonette gazed at the commercial buildings through the window. The neon lights shined so brightly that it made her feel dizzy. If Diana could get the chance to enter this fancy world, why couldn't she? Diana was no better than her!

Diana Anderson, we will see who is the final winner! I will beat you someday! Antonette made a promise to herself to see Diana suffer.
