Mr. Powell Is Hunting for His Wife

Chapter 39: It Was Her Beauty That Mr. Powell Likes

Diana sat back in the car silently.

She unlocked her mobile and saw a text from Rachel.

“How did it go? That old hag troubled you?”

Diana replied smiley, “I’m fine, I will spill the bean when I’m home.”

Inside the Powell villa, Madame Powell couldn’t control her tempered and smashed an expensive cup on the floor.

A smashing sound filled the living hall in an instant.

“Listen, listen! How rude could she be! She repeated my words to my face! I’m her senior! Her senior! How dare she spoke to me like that?”

Madame Powell had never been bullied or humiliated this way since she stepped foot into the Powell family.

She breathed rapidly, anger had taken over her elegance and manners.

“Bring my mobile over, I need to tell Brooklyn what happened! What kind of assistant did he hire huh? A woman that seduces someone else’s fiancé and is rude to me! What a brat!”

The housekeeper sent someone to clean up the broken pieces while saying, “Madame, it is better not to disturb young master now. Anna helped with the collaboration with Hillvie, I guess he is satisfied with her, furthermore, you’ve just argued with young master not long ago…”

Madame Powell thought for a while. Yes, her relation with Brooklyn was always at the edge, it would be adding oil into the fire if she called now!

Not only would she failed to fire Anna, but would make Brooklyn angry too.

…

“Really? Hahaha, I’ve lost word to describe that old lady, an elderly but being calculative with a young lady, it’s so funny.” Rachel calmed down after laughing, “But Diana, as I see, she will create more trouble for you from now on. Perhaps not openly but she might play dirty tricks.”

Diana put her mobile next to her ears and replied lazily, “I’m not intend to marry her son, what she could do to me? I just want to make Brooklyn call off the wedding with Mirabelle, I am not interested in him…”

Rachel turned serious, “Don’t take it too lightly, women with authority within the wealthy circle are not kind, you’ve provoked her today, so you need to be extra careful in the future.”

Diana was silent for a moment and agreed with Rachel.

A few minutes later, she smiled, “Rachel, don’t worry too much about this. You said Madame Powell and Brooklyn’s relation is not good, right?”

“Indeed. Perhaps you don’t know much about what’s going on in China, but it was rumored that Brooklyn didn’t even attend Madame Powell’s birthday, they are not close. Why? Do you plan to take advantage of this? It’s not that easy.”

Diana replied lightly with “Hmm”.

Rachel was right. If Madame Powell wanted to get rid of her, it was hard for her to fight back.

The best way is to send a warning to Madame Powell.

But she couldn’t tell Brooklyn directly, they were nothing but colleagues.

There were some thoughts in Diana’s mind and she caught a direction that she could try tomorrow. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Diana drove to Powell Group like usual the next day.

The finance department’s head had just sent over the agreement detailing the commission from Hillvie Group for using her perfume. The total amount she could get was pretty satisfying even after deducting the commission for the Powell Group.

Diana smiled at the department’s head, took over the agreement and walked towards the CEO office.

She saw Harper on the way and it reminded her of something.

She stopped Harper, “Mr. Gibson, I need to ask you something.”

Harper was getting familiar with Diana since they work together, “Yes?”

Diana put on an embarrassed smile, she moved her lips as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, she asked, “Mr. Gibson, have you ever received a call… From Mr. Powell’s mother for a chat?”

Harper stunned, “No.”

He didn’t even know how she looked like!

He had been working with Mr. Powell for over six years, he heard the rumor that Mr. Powell was not close to his mother.

He had never heard of any caring words from his mother, not to mention people around him.

Diana put up an “Oh I see” face and looked hurt. Like a small and weak fawn that was confused and needed help.

She blinked twice and said sorrowfully, “I think I better resign.”

Harper almost fell onto the ground.

He stopped Diana immediately, “Hold on! Ms. Miller, what happened? Mr. Powell has high hope on you, why would you want to resign out of a sudden?”

If she resigned now, Harper thought he would become Mr. Powell’s sandbag.

It was obvious how good Mr. Powell was to Ms. Miller, it was beyond colleagues!

“High hope? If he does, why would he told Madame Powell that we are working under the same roof… Female assistant attracts rumor easily, and as you know, I’m gorgeous, so female tends to jealous on me all the time…”

Harper, “…”

Even though he understood the jealousy of some female staff and Ms. Moss towards Ms. Miller, she was the first person that expressed “I am gorgeous” full of herself directly in front of him.

Diana sobbed and continued, “You know, I was happy to receive Madame Powell’s call the other day… But she gave me a hard time saying I’m seducing Mr. Powell…”

Harper didn’t want to say anything seeing her sobbing.

Although Ms. Miller was high profile, but she did well at work, she even got the collaboration with Hillvie all by herself.

A woman like her could easily seduce any man in this world.

Harper handed Diana some tissue and comforted her, “Ms. Miller, don’t take it hard, Mr. Powell sees your performances at work… Mr. Powell’s not really into a loving relationship so much, it would be extremely hard for you to seduce him. So trust me, it was your capabilities that he has eyes on, not your beauty.”

Diana took the tissue and wiped off her tears at the corner of her eye.

She was speechless inside.

Nonsense, Brooklyn recruited her from day one was due to her beauty!

If it wasn’t for her beauty, he wouldn’t have requested her accompanied him nap in the afternoon!

Although Diana was still unsure of the reason Brooklyn wanted her as a company during nap time, but she had completed her goal, so she could walk away.

Harper could do the rest.
