Chapter 940: Put On A Good Show

Su Wan and Diya sat opposite each other at the two ends of the table. An almost strange atmosphere spread between the two of them.

Although Diya had already guessed that her brother was probably the mastermind, he was her beloved brother after all. Diya did not dare to say Fiennes’ name directly before.

Who would have thought that Su Wan would expose the truth without any hesitation!

She was clearly still sitting properly earlier. However, at this moment, when Diya saw that delicate figure at the opposite table, she suddenly felt as though she was sitting on pins and needles. Her body and mind felt uneasy.

“Miss Su, you also said that you and the Emperor were plotted against by my brother. However, Fiennes is my brother. I cannot betray him for an outsider.”

Diya’s lips trembled for a moment before she finally spoke in embarrassment.

The current situation of the Siswell family had changed drastically. Even the high priest had not appeared for the past few months. All of this meant that…

The weather was about to change…

At this moment, not to mention her brother, the entire Siswell family was probably like a grasshopper on a rope. Victory would bring glory and defeat would bring decline.

The winner would be called king and the loser would be the bandit. This had always been the eternal truth.

Su Wan had obviously expected this answer from Diya.

Without thinking, she suddenly grabbed Diya’s hand earnestly.

“Miss Diya, I don’t want you to betray your brother. I just want you to help me leave this place. I’m not a good match for your brother. You should know this better than anyone else.”

She and Fiennes had no feelings for each other, and their statuses were not equal at all. In the future, they would only hate each other. Diya definitely did not like such a sister-in-law.

Su Wan’s expression was extremely sincere. Her clear almond-shaped eyes were fixed on her, making Diya suddenly feel as if she had nowhere to hide.

Diya slowly moved Su Wan’s hand away and shook her head hesitantly.

“I know that you and my brother are indeed not suitable for each other. But Su Wan, did you see the strict security arrangements downstairs? With my ability, I really can’t save you.”

Diya was also telling the truth.

Su Wan was a living person, and she usually didn’t like having maids follow her. How could she possibly bring Su Wan to escape!

However, Su Wan didn’t give up no matter what.

“It’s true that we can’t do it at the Shanshui villa, but what if… I leave this place… for example, one day, Fiennes and I move to your main family. At that time, is it impossible?”

Fiennes had previously mentioned that as long as Su Wan thought it through, he would bring her to the headquarters of the Siswell family.

She could pretend to agree first, but no matter what, she could not endure it for too long.

After leaving the Shanshui villa, it would be the territory of the Siswell family’s main family. At that time, Su Wan did not believe it, and there were even such tight defenses everywhere.

“This…”

Diya looked at Su Wan in a daze. She thought for a moment. If she were in Su Wan’s situation today, she would not be willing to just sit and wait for death either.

“But since the emperor is not dead… Miss Su, I’m actually still very afraid. If I let you out, you and His Highness will take revenge…”

When Su Wan heard that, she immediately shook her head and denied it like a cannonball.

“Absolutely not! If I can escape, I will immediately leave with His Highness and never implicate you and Fiennes. We can also put the past behind us!”

However, Diya could not believe what Su Wan said.

Such a guarantee was easy to say, but it was extremely difficult to do.

Seeing that Diya obviously did not believe it, Su Wan took a deep breath and began to analyze it for her.

“Miss Diya, to be honest with you, I’ve actually been infected with a virus that corrodes my health. It’s hard to say how many years I can live.”

“A virus?!”

Diya looked surprised.

Su Wan nodded and began to reason with Diya. She only wanted to persuade this eighteen-year-old girl.

She was very sure that Diya did not want her to marry Fiennes. That was why Su Wan wanted to use Diya as a breakthrough point.

“Of course, your brother did not do this to me. His Highness and I will have a hard time because of this matter. We don’t have the time to seek revenge for you and Fiennes. As long as we don’t interfere in each other’s business, we will be able to live in peace from now on.”

Su Wan actually understood in her heart that this was actually very difficult.

Sometimes, it was not that you did not go looking for trouble, but trouble would not come looking for you.

With Fiennes’ personality, if he didn’t go all the way, he wouldn’t let her and Jiang Xuecheng off.

However, Su Wan still needed to rely on Diya to escape, so she could only make this promise first. Of course, if Fiennes really wanted to let them off, Su Wan would definitely follow what she said today.

Diya struggled for a long time and was about to say something, but every time Su Wan saw her hesitation, she continued.

Women were always emotional creatures, so Su Wan started to tell her about her and Jiang Xuecheng on Planet Aquamarine, trying to let Diya understand more about her and Jiang Xuecheng.

…

After Su Wan talked for a long time, Diya suddenly understood Su Wan’s anxiety.

Diya looked at Su Wan in a daze.

Every time she mentioned the emperor, there was an indescribable look in the corners of her eyes. Diya felt that Su Wan and her brother were really not a good match.

Because, this girl in front of her had long been in love with someone else.

She was definitely not a good match for her brother.

Diya hesitated for a moment before she finally spoke.

“Miss Su, how do you want me to help you?”

Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She had thought of a good idea.

It was just to see if Diya was willing to do it.

“If I can move to your headquarters, can you create a scene where I fake my death or escape by myself? For example, lighting a fire…”

Diya was shocked when she heard that. Clearly, she did not expect Su Wan to be so decisive.

After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that only when Su Wan “died”could this matter end with the best of both worlds.

Diya gritted her teeth and finally nodded slightly.

“I’ll give it a try.”

…

After Diya went back, Su Wan’s heart was filled with excitement and worry.

That afternoon, she had put on a good show with Diya.

Diya had slammed the door and left. Along the way, she had been in an aggressive and angry manner. The middle-aged man who had sent her here was stunned and even scolded her.

When Fiennes heard about this situation, he put down all his work and specially came to visit Su Wan.

He pushed the door open and entered. Su Wan was looking out of the window at that time. She looked very lonely.

There was a hint of concern in Fiennes’ blue eyes.

“Are you alright? I heard that you had a fight with Diya?”

Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She pretended to be calm and suddenly threw a cold sentence at Fiennes.

“Do you nobles look down on people like that?”

Fiennes rarely saw Su Wan’s angry look. He was stunned and immediately thought that Su Wan was ridiculed by Diya of not being worthy of him.

However, before he could say anything to comfort her, Su Wan’s second sentence was even more shocking.

“Fiennes, I want to live in your house. Diya said that I’m basically a raised canary being kept here. Didn’t you say that you wanted to marry me? Are you not even going to give me the face of a wife?!”
