Chapter 398 Diana And Dahlia

• "My name is Diana, which can only mean that the Diana standing over there is, in fact, my twin sister, Dahlia. In fact, for the past months, I wasn't present, and the Diana that you knew had always been my sister acting out in my place," Diana explained as if it was something to be proud of.
• The crowd went wild, but I decided to focus my attention on the two figures that seemed so intent on ruining my life along with my sister’s. Our father had officially become our enemy, and at that moment, he looked like he might have started to regret pushing both of us over the edge. Mr. Malton, who, after all this time, clearly never regretted his actions and never realized that he should have been man enough to take responsibility. I was certain that even now, he was willing to destroy our reputation and our future—all for the sake of the money undoubtedly promised to him by our father. Desperate times truly call for desperate measures; that applied to our father but also to us as well.
• I couldn't even begin to describe how much I wanted to stop my sister from doing something so foolish and irreversibly harmful, but in that moment, it was strange how I felt such an overwhelming sense of peace. Perhaps deep down inside, I had already grown so sick of putting up an act and lying to everybody with a straight face. Perhaps I was tired of pretending to be my perfect sister and of fooling everyone. I thought that it might be high time that we both returned to simply being ourselves and come what may. I couldn't help but think that perhaps my sister understood how I felt. At the time, it felt more than enough that my sister was ready to claim her identity and to relieve me of the burden of acting in her place. It seemed like my time to leave the country to return to my new and more peaceful life was soon approaching, at least that was what I thought at the time.
