She was floored by what she was hearing. "What did you just say? How could you even think of going to her?"

Diana's face was a stormy mess, her eyes burning with anger. "I've teamed up with her now. I'm going to join forces with her to take Connor down. I'll see to it that he loses his position as CEO of Sartori Corporation."

Suzanne was beyond disbelief. "Have you lost your mind? How can you trust Claire? She's completely unstable. One minute she's all sweet, treating you like a pet, and the next, you're her punching bag. When she's done, you won't even know what hit you." "I don't care!" Diana shot back. "I just want Connor to pay. I want him to regret ever leaving me."

Suzanne was really worried about Diana's state of mind. She couldn't believe that after steering clear of Claire for so long, Diana would willingly walk into her clutches. Teaming up with Claire was like asking a tiger for a favor.

Diana wasn't thinking straight, but she knew how dangerous Claire was. Claire was moody and ruthless. She could make Diana disappear without a trace.

Suzanne, taking on a rare stern tone, insisted, "You need to go to America tomorrow."

"I'm not going. If you force me, you'll never see me again."

Suzanne knew how extreme Diana could get. But Diana was caught up in her own whirlwind of emotions, unreachable by anyone.

Suzanne had always been protective, aware of her own limitations, which is why she had struck a deal with Connor early on. She thought she was providing Diana with a safety net, but now it seemed like it had backfired. Diana clung to Suzanne's clothes. "Mom, surely you can find a way to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. Help me. I don't want to go abroad. I can't stand the thought of leaving you. Please, Mom."

Of course, Suzanne didn't want

Diana to leave either. She had been

planning for years, and now

everything was almost ready. She wanted to see it all come

together-her lifelong dream. So, she

couldn't go abroad with Diana.

Suzanne said, "I'll figure something out about this whole going abroad thing. But for now, you need to stay out of sight. And whatever you do, don't go near Claire again. I won't have you involved with her." Diana finally agreed. She couldn't leave anyway, not at this moment. But Suzanne was still uneasy. She opened the safe in the room and handed Diana a small glass jar.

Diana asked, confused, "What's this?"

Inside the jar were two locks of hair, tied together with a thin red string, intertwined.

Suzanne explained, "Don't worry about what it is. Just remember, this is your good luck charm. Keep it with you. If Claire ever tries to harm you, show her this. It might just save your life."

Days drifted by, and Chloe got busier than ever. While she didn't have to worry about the wedding details, the planner often checked in to get her thoughts. She couldn't deny she was excited about the wedding. She and Lucas had a wedding once, but it was just for show. Looking back, Chloe only felt exhausted by it all, with no happy memories to hold onto.

But this time, it was her wedding with Connor Chloe didn't care about whether it was a grand affair or not, All that mattered was that she was the bride, and he was the groom. The thought alone warmed her heart with a quiet, steady joy.
