Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty

Diana's face lit up with a smile. "Sure thing, I'll take you there another time!"

For some reason, Yolanda's simple words made Diana feel much more at ease.

It wasn't long before the waiter arrived with a tray. "Excuse me, here's your order of premium Aussorian beef."

Diana, in an uncharacteristically gentle tone, said, "Go ahead, dig in."

Just as she finished speaking, another voice caught her attention. "Ma'am, this bottle of wine is from the gentleman over there."

A young waitress, Olivia, approached with a tray and set an expensive bottle of wine down in front of Diana.

Following Olivia's gaze, Diana looked across the room and saw a balding, heavyset man with a shiny forehead grinning at her while raising his glass. Even though the man was older, his behavior was rather off-putting. The wrinkles on his face contorted into a sleazy, greasy grin.

Diana was wearing a light blue high-fashion suit from Harlowe today, paired with subtle makeup that gave her a youthful and stylish look.

Thanks to her diligent skincare routine, she appeared to be a sophisticated woman in her 30s. Anyone unfamiliar with her actual age might easily mistake her for Yolanda's older sister. She naturally drew some attention wherever she went.

Diana had dealt with her share of unwanted advances in the past. While she usually turned them down, she always remained polite and never came across as harsh. But the man's behavior was so sleazy that it made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She frowned in disgust and immediately told Olivia, "I don't know him, and I don't want his wine!"

"Ma'am, that gentleman is Mr. Samuel Liddell, a well-known businessman in Riverdale. You should consider yourself lucky that he's taken an interest in you. Plenty of women would jump at the chance to get his attention, and he wouldn't even look their way!

"Turning down Mr. Liddell's offer simply shows that you're ungrateful." Olivia rolled her eyes after speaking, as if mocking Diana for being too proud.

It was clear that Samuel was a regular at this Westorian restaurant, and there seemed to be a flirtatious undertone in his relationships with the waitresses. Otherwise, Olivia would never have dared to speak to Diana in such a manner. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Yolanda set down her fork and knife, glancing over at Samuel. He was an overweight, unattractive older man who couldn't hold a candle to Harold. She couldn't help but be amused by the audacity of this sleazy man.

She wondered where he got the confidence to think that sending a bottle of wine would be an effective way to approach Diana. Diana wasn't some naive young woman and she wouldn't give any weight to such a cheap tactic.

"My mom and I don't need the wine, and this is our private time. We'd prefer not to be disturbed," Yolanda said, trying to keep her tone calm.

She preferred not to draw attention to herself in public. There wouldn't be any issue if Olivia and Samuel at the next table knew when to back off, especially since Yolanda had made it clear that this was their private time, meaning Diana naturally wouldn't entertain any offers from other men.

Unfortunately, Olivia seemed completely oblivious to the situation. She was emboldened by her connections and seemed to forget her place. She shot an irritated glare at Yolanda.

"You should stay out of grown-up conversations! Your mom should consider herself lucky to get approached like that. Someone as ugly as you wouldn't even get noticed!"
