Brian was not happy at Kyle's incessant staring and decided to have a word.

"Kyle, come to the study with me for a moment." Brian made sure his voice sounded as normal as possible.

Naturally, Kyle was wary but finally elected not to cause a scene and left with Brian to study on the second floor.

Everyone left at the table was also curious as to what Brian wanted to discuss with Kyle.

However, there was little time to contemplate this as out of nowhere, Mrs. Garcia screamed, "Diana Anderson, you might have won Brian's heart, but I will not allow you to marry him. It won't be that easy!"

Being shouted at like that, of course, left Diana rather vexed. But knowing that she was Brian's stepmother, Diana couldn't let herself react.

Antonette smiled after seeing Diana being criticized, something that didn't go unnoticed by Sybil.

Though Diana was willing to bear what Mrs. Garcia said, Sybil did not take it lightly. She looked sneeringly at Mrs. Garcia, then said coldly, "Mrs. Garcia, though my mother divorced my father years ago, it is not your business to handle Brian's marriage. This family is not your kingdom!"

"Sybil!" Mrs. Garcia hadn't expected Sybil to be so direct, and she was rather taken aback.

"Sybil, how could you say that to your mother?" Simon bl.u.s.tered.

"Mother? I only have one mother. And her name is Kate Grace!" Sybil shouted before quickly, adding, "And let me be clear, I will be more than happy to have Diana as my sister-in-law. It's Brian's choice, and you have to support it! That's it!"

Brian walked into the study and closed the door while Kyle had already sat down.

"So, what is it, Brian?"

Brian stared back intensely at him for a few seconds before replying, "Kyle, you should have greeted Diana as your sister-in-law."

This idea seemed hilarious to Kyle. "Are you two married? Don't you think it is a bit early to say that?"

"You!"

Kyle stood up. "Brian, I won't give up on Diana, even when you were married, let alone now!"

Kyle's eyes were sparkling with a greedy light.

Brian was furious and bellowed, "Kyle, how dare you!"

"How about we compete for her love?" Kyle suggested cheekily.

Brian laughed out loud. "I will never give you that chance."

"Well, we'll see about that," Kyle said with a smile. Smirking at Brian, he stood up and left the study.

Alone in the room, Brian was fuming. He couldn't believe that Kyle just admitted his emotions so candidly.

When he got back downstairs, Kyle found the atmosphere was rather weird. Sybil was staring at Mrs. Garcia, and there was a heavy tension in the room.

Seeing Kyle come back in, Simon quickly cleared his throat and said, "Sybil, that's enough." He was not willing to let Kyle see his family in disarray.

Sybil turned her nose up at Mrs. Garcia and sat down beside Diana.

Mrs. Garcia's face was ghostly pale, a mixture of shock, and intense anger.

Minutes later, Brian came back down. The tension in the room intensified even more.

Seeing that nothing good would come from them staying, Sybil pulled Diana up and said to Brian, "Brother, let's go."

"Ok." Brian nodded. He was also tired of being around his father.

However, Simon had reached his limit and exploded in anger, "None of you are allowed to leave!"

Diana was intimidated by his temper, but Sybil didn't bat an eyelid. She pulled her up and walked away without looking back.

As they left Simon's house, Sybil took a deep breath and said, "Well, I think I would go crazy if I stayed there any longer."

Diana was worried. "Is it okay for us to just leave like this?"

"Relax! It's fine. Hey, I didn't have much food. Let's go somewhere to eat!" Sybil suggested.

"Me too! Let's do it!" Diana was very happy. With all the pressure from Mrs. Garcia, she had barely touched the food.

Brian was a bit hungry too. So, he stopped the car on a nearby side street, where he remembered that there was a nice restaurant that he and Sybil used to come to when they were younger.

Diana was very curious. The street was more of an alley in truth, so narrow that only two persons could pass at one time.

Brian, however, was slightly annoyed at Sybil for getting in the way of some potential alone time for him and Diana.

Sensing his discomfort, Sybil rolled her eyes and called Ken to pick her up. Better to give them some time together.

As ever, Diana hadn't realized why Sybil was going home.

"Why is Sybil leaving?"

"Maybe she has a date with Ken. Forget it," Brian replied casually.

He walked Diana down into the alley, and they were immediately hit by the enticing scent of food coming from within.

Brian led Diana to a restaurant he was quite familiar with. After finding some free seats, they sat down and ordered.

Brian was very excited. "You know, when I was a little boy, I came here a lot with Sybil."

Diana sat beside him and listened to him share his childhood stories. At that moment, he was not the usual powerful, intimidating businessman. Instead, he was more like an ordinary young boy.

Their dishes were served quickly, and everything was perfect. The food was exactly as Brian had remembered, with an amazing taste and variety of flavors.

When they finally finished all the food, Diana was extremely full.

To help work off the food, Brian decided they would walk home. It wasn't a long way, and they could take it slowly.

Unfortunately, almost as soon as they set off, it started to rain heavily. Brian hugged Diana in his arms to protect her from the rain, though they both got rather soaked in the sudden downpour.

With their walk ruined by the rain, Brian helped Diana into his car and drove her home.

Sybil and Ken could not get home due to the heavy rain, so Diana and Brian were alone in the house.

Fearing that Diana might catch a cold, Brian asked her to take a shower once they got home.

Diana agreed it was a good idea and went quickly upstairs to the bathroom.

After the shower, Diana finished drying herself and went to grab her clothes, only to find they weren't there!

Diana couldn't believe it. She must have forgotten to bring her clothes with her.

The towel was too short even to cover her leg, and there was nothing else in the bathroom!

Diana reluctantly called out, "Brian, could you…"

"What?" Hearing Diana call him, Brian walked to the bathroom door.

Biting her lip and closing her eyes, Diana forced herself to ask, "Could you bring me my clothes?"

"Sure, no problem," Brian said with a smile. Was it just convenient that Diana had 'forgotten' her clothes?

Brian walked to Diana's bedroom. He opened the closet, and his eyes were immediately drawn to her u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r and bras.

Brian picked out the top one and looked at it curiously. Given her slim figure, he was surprised to see that Diana wore a B cup. Brian gulped nervously.

"Have you found them?" Diana asked impatiently.

"Yeah," Brian replied, now happily holding a set of pink u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r.
