A Trust-fund Baby novel Chapter 86

“Diana?” Judson showed a smile to Diana.

“Huh? What's the matter?” Diana looked at Judson in puzzle.

“Nothing, I'm just afraid it's all a dream, and then I wake up and it's all gone. And you are not my wife.” Judson said to Diana in worry.

Diana put her arm around Judson and whispered, “What are you thinking? I am your wife. I will not leave you.”

Judson and Diana got the marriage certificate, Sally did not want to disturb them, so she hurried back to cook, leaving Judson and Diana there.

After lunch, Diana asked Judson to the room. After Judson went in, Diana took a bank card out of the drawer and said to Judson, “I have thirty thousand yuan in my card. How much do you have? Judson, we have to save some money to live in the future. I don't want you to buy me nice clothes or a big house, but we have to save some money.”

Judson was in embarrassment. Now Diana said about money, he did not know how to reply to her.

“What's the matter?” Diana asked Judson, feeling something wrong.

Judson took a deep breath and said to Diana, “Diana, there are some things I don't know how to tell you now, but please believe me, I will explain to you in the future.”

Diana nodded without hesitation, “Ok, I believe you.”

Diana agreed so simply, and Judson didn't know what to say. Judson made up his mind he would give Diana a lifetime of glory.

When Judson and Diana were talking in the room, they suddenly heard Dexter’s voice came from the living room. Judson and Diana looked at each other, frowning. They did not expect Dexter would come.

“Judson, let's go out. He is an elder. It is inappropriate we cannot stay in room.” Diana said to Judson.

Judson nodded and then followed Diana out. He was curious. He seemed not to have seen Dexter come here. Dexter, who usually looked down upon Diana and her family, took the initiative to visit them now. It was not Judson regarded him maliciously, but the Shaw family was not good!

After Judson went out, he saw Dexter sitting on the sofa in the living room. When Dexter saw Diana and Judson came out, he said to Diana with a smile, “Diana, how are you doing recently? Your aunt has been talking about you with me for a few days. When you are free, come to my home and ask your aunt to cook food for you.”

Diana smiled awkwardly, “Thank you, Uncle, thanks aunt too. I will certainly visit you when I have time.”

Dexter nodded. He smiled at Judson and said, “Judson, come with Diana. Although you are a live-in son-in-law, we are families.”

Judson nodded without saying anything. Dexter was embarrassed to see that. For a moment the atmosphere was eerie.

Sally felt something wrong, so she changed the subject and said, “Dexter, why did you come to our house today? Anything wrong?”

Dexter said to Sally with a smile, “Sally, Mom is in poor health these days. She has a cold. When she lies in bed, she always talks to me about Freddy, Diana’s father, saying that she is sorry for him. So she asked me to come and transfer his shares in Shaw family to Diana. And the house in the city center will be available for you these days.”

Sally was pleased to hear that and said, “Dexter, really? Is Mom really going to give the shares and the house in the city center to Diana?”

Dexter nodded with a smile, “Yes, we are a families. In fact, you are wrong about Mom. The company has not been doing well since last year, so the matter has been delayed. So she wants to give you a house as compensation.”

Sally tried to speak more, but Judson interrupted her. Judson looked at Dexter and asked, “Oh? A house in the city center? How big is it?”

Dexter's face turned stiff and the corners of his mouth tightened, “It's 80 square meters, it's small. But Judson, you and Diana have been married for more than a year. Wouldn't it be better if you two lived in your own house and had some private space?”

Judson nodded and asked with a half smile, “Uncle, go to the point. It was sudden that you give us shares and house.”

The smile on Dexter's face stopped and he said to Sally, “Sally, Judson is right. I need your favor.”

Sally was stuned, “Do you a favor? Ha ha, I am just a woman has no money and no power. How can I help you?”

Dexter waved his hands in embarrassment and said, “Sally, Shaw’s company is going bankrupt now. We got the news that the Ray Group is aiming at our family. Mom and I have no choice but to ask Diana and Judson for help. They work in the Ray Group as management.”

“Oh, that is the thing.” Sally leaned back, picked up the tea cup on the table and drank slowly, without a word. In fact, Sally was glad and did not speak deliberately.

Seeing Sally’s attitude, Judson gave Sally a thumbs up in his heart. Judson said to Sally with a smile, “Mom, Diana and I have something to do and need to go out now. We will come back soon.”

Sally nodded. However, Dexter, who was sitting opposite her, was anxious to hear that. Suddenly he said to Diana, “Come back soon, Diana. Let's go out for dinner. I will treat you.”

As Diana was about to speak, Judson gently took her hand. Diana said to Dexter, “Uncle, I don't know how long it will take. We will come back early if it is finished early.”

Dexter could only nod with a smile, “Well, you go first. If it's early, we can have dinner together. If it's late, we'll take a rain check.”

Diana nodded without a word and walked out with Judson.

When Diana left with Judson, Dexter continued to say to Sally, “Sally, the kids were here just now, so there is something I don't know how to say. The Shaw family was bad to you, but there's a reason for that.”

“Oh? What is the reason? After the death of Diana’s father, you took back our shares. And you ignored us these years, and there is a reason?” Sally put down her teacup and said to Dexter in a leisurely tone.

Dexter said in embarrassment, “Yes, Sally. Think about it, Judson was an outsider, and Freddy had just died. It was natural for us to be a little worried at that time. After all, you and Diana were women. What if Judson was evil?”

“So now you are not afraid of Judson was evil?” Sally interrupted Dexter with a sneer.

“Well.” Dexter's face became stiff, but he could only smile, “Sally, isn't this the result of time? Judson is pretty good and has been taking care of you and Diana these years.”

Dexter paused for a moment and then continued, “Sally, I apologized to you about what we did to you, but now the Shaw family really can't stand it any longer. Some time ago, the company lost three projects, and these days we just reluctantly stopped our losses. But the Brown family stopped all cooperation with us. I have learnt that that the Ray Group is against the Shaw family. Sally, please do me a favor and let Diana find Bruce.”

Sally narrowed her eyes and said, “Dexter, Diana is just an employee of Ray Group. How can you be so sure that she can help?”

Dexter said, “Sally, Bruce sat next to Diana at Mom's birthday party?”
