Chapter 812: Throwing Salt On Her Wound
The girl who came up to help Diya out of goodwill did not expect that Diya would fall out with her just like that!
The girl was stunned. Her face turned red and then white. She felt extremely embarrassed.
In order to save her face, she could only add a sentence in embarrassment.
“Diya, don’t be angry. Although that Su is arrogant, we all know that the high priest is going to announce today that you are His Highness’ fiancée! You must…”
The girl kept on talking, thinking that she had hit Diya’s mark. However, she did not know that she was actually throwing salt on Diya’s wound.
A legitimate fiancée who had been appointed by the High Priest was actually inferior to a wild woman who appeared out of nowhere. Wasn’t this worth being angry about?
The girl became more and more excited as she spoke. She even made various assumptions. What she did not expect was that Diya suddenly raised her eyes and glared at her fiercely.
“Do you think that you are the only one who knows about these things?!”
The girl was instantly stunned.
Diya’s expression made her tremble in fear.
Moreover, Diya’s disgusted gaze made it seem as though she was scum.
There was silence all around. The girl’s eyes could not help but redden.
However, although her family background was not bad, she did not dare to offend the Seeswell family, which was currently at its peak. Therefore, she did not even dare to say a word of complaint. She only dared to run to the side silently, holding back her tears of grievance.
Seeing Diya’s angry look, a few noblemen and women surrounded her worriedly. They completely ignored the girl who had been reprimanded by Diya.
Because of the previous experience, no one dared to come forward to comfort Diya. They could only carefully look at Diya a few more times.
Just when everyone was at a loss, they suddenly saw a tall man walking over from not far away.
The man was wearing a low-key but luxurious custom-made suit. His Windsor bow tie was meticulously tied, and he looked very serious.
His silhouette was deep, and his pair of azure blue eyes shone brightly under the sunlight. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of friendliness.
He was the next head of the Siswell family, and also Diya’s older brother, Fiennes.
When everyone saw that handsome and gentle face, they all heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.
It was fortunate that young master Fiennes had come!
Otherwise, they would not have dared to comfort the eldest daughter, Diya. They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would anger her. They would not be able to reap any benefits and instead, they would be covered in blood.
Just when someone was about to call Fiennes’ name, they suddenly saw another slim and graceful figure walk out of the car door.
Because of the sight of Fiennes, the atmosphere that had eased up a little suddenly became stagnant again.
Everyone lowered their heads to show their respect.
The woman standing next to Fiennes was the high priest!
The high priest was wearing a blue evening gown after the rain. A light-colored silk scarf was tied around the collar. She looked noble and elegant with an indescribable dignity.
She was holding a pure-white Persian cat in her arms. Occasionally, she would raise her head to look around at the well-dressed men and women. Her green eyes, which were like glass beads, were shining.
Everyone knew that the high priest did not like others to get close to her, but this cat was very popular with the high priest.
There was once a person who wanted to tease the cat, but no one had ever seen them again…
Everyone understood that in the high priest’s heart, they might not be more honorable than a cat!
However…
Why was the high priest walking together with Young Master Fiennes?!
And they even appeared together outside the venue!
Since the Emperor of the God’s Palace was to become in-laws with the Siswell family, it shouldn’t be strange, right?
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. When they saw the two noble man and woman walking over, they immediately lowered their heads and nodded in greeting.
“High Priest, young master Fiennes, good morning.”
The high priest casually glanced at them. When she saw the tears in Diya’s eyes, she could not help but frown.
Why was Diya crying on such a good day?!
In fact, the High Priest did not have a good impression of Diya at all. In her eyes, Diya was both arrogant and had no intelligence at all.
To think that she was a legitimate child. Compared to Fiennes, who had a lowly birth mother, she was really silly and sweet.
However, Fiennes treated Diya extremely well.
It was precisely because of this that Diya was the most suitable person to use for the arranged marriage. She could restrain the power of the Siswell family.
As long as Diya was bound to Jiang Xuecheng, the high priest would feel that the pressure on her side would be much less!
Over the past few years, the Siswell family had been scheming behind the scenes. As the high priest was busy satisfying her own selfish desires, she could only turn a blind eye and let them go.
If the Siswell family continued to grow, the situation would not be good.
Seeing the high priest and Fiennes walking over, Diya immediately pounced on her brother.
“Brother, why are you only here now? I’ve been bullied, do you know…”
Fiennes’ blue eyes flashed with a faint light. He reached out and stroked Diya’s hair, his expression showing that he did not act at all.
“You’re so powerful. Who can bully you?”
Diya was so aggrieved that she sniffed.
The scene of the emperor and Su Wan traveling together replayed in her mind, as well as the way the emperor spoke up for Su Wan. Her heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, and it hurt.
Su Wan clearly did not say a single word, but Diya’s heart directly ignored Jiang Xuecheng. The target of her resentment had completely turned into Su Wan alone.
“Who else could it be?! It’s that Miss Su that you’ve been longing for! Brother, I don’t even know what you like about her!”
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Fiennes’ face.
He knew Diya’s personality the best. Although he did not see the situation at the scene, he had already made a rough guess.
He patted Diya’s shoulder and spoke to her very seriously.
“I told you not to provoke her. Do you not understand what your brother said?”
Diya pursed her lips. It was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with Fiennes’ words.
Her brother was getting less and less cute. He actually spoke up for an outsider!
It was unreasonable!
The high priest listened to the interaction between Diya and Fiennes coldly. When she heard Diya say that Fiennes liked Su Wan, she could not help but feel a little surprised.
The high priest could not help but glance at Fiennes beside her, wondering if what Diya said was true or not.
If it was true, then Su Wan would have one more use.
As if he had noticed the high priest’s gaze, Fiennes grinned at the high priest, his expression pure and innocent.
“The high priest looks at me so warmly. I’m really flattered.”
The High Priest knew in his heart that this young man, who seemed to be well-rounded, was actually completely black once his gentle appearance was peeled off.
“It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
The high priest shook her head lightly and made a gesture with her hand before taking the lead to walk out.
