Chapter 510 Ram's Puzzle—

Ryan gently clinked his glass against Diane's, producing a crisp sound.

He took a sip of his wine and joked with the charming girl in front of him.

"Miss Diane is so beautiful, what do you say, Miss Diane?"

Diane's face flushed.

Did I hear wrong?

I am beautiful?

And what's more, young master Renn is... trying to flirt with me!?

Diane was at a loss for words. Although she was reasonably beautiful, she couldn't compare to Princess Caroline and Miss Anna.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be almost twenty years old and still not have any nobles proposing to her.

What Diane didn't know was that her beauty simply didn't fit Western aesthetic standards, but perfectly aligned with Ryan's Eastern aesthetic.

In Ryan's eyes, Diane looked extremely similar to a human from Earth, and was many times more beautiful than any of Earth's previous actresses or models.

So when Ryan first saw Diane, he didn't think about the 'thing' from the Haywood family, but rather he wanted to get Diane.

Diane felt hot all over; this was the first time someone had ever approached her.

“Young Master Ray… Young Master Ray is really joking. Diane is not worthy of you at all…” Diane lowered her head, looking very insecure.

Upon hearing this, Ryan reached out and placed his hand on Diane's chin, lifting her head, and spoke solemnly.

"No! You deserve it."

Diane tensed up at Ryan's action, and the wine glass in her hand slipped from her grasp and spilled.

But the moment the glass left Diane's hand, it was frozen in place by a spatial energy.

Ryan picked up the frozen wine glass and handed it back to Diane, saying softly.

Be careful.

Diane lowered her head like a little rabbit: "Mmm~"

Ryan gently put his arm around Diane's slender waist and placed his left hand lightly on Diane's smooth skin as he asked her a question.

"I just heard you talking to them about fur?"

Diane, who was being held by Ryan, felt hot all over and her face was as red as blood.

After hearing Ryan's questions about the Haywood family's furs, Diane's mind cleared up a bit.

Faced with Ryan's advances, Diane knew she couldn't refuse him.

Why not rely on Raine to help the family eliminate the threat posed by the Edwin family?

Diane nodded: "Yes, Young Master Ryan, my family is the Haywood family..."

Diane and Ryan then recounted the current state of the Haywood family.

Ram Edwin, a member of the Edwin family attending the dinner in the crowd, felt a chill run down his spine as he watched Diane and Ryan's intimate behavior.

No, you've taken a fancy to a young master like Diane, Ryan?

This is no less than a powerful and influential duke taking a fancy to an ordinary person who has no redeeming qualities.

After all, in Ram's eyes, Diane wasn't even as pretty as the maids in his family.

Upon hearing Diane's explanation, Ryan nodded and looked at the crowd before speaking.

"Has anyone from the Edwin family arrived?"

As soon as Raine finished speaking, everyone around him turned their gaze to Ram Edwin.

Seeing this, Ram rubbed his hands together and scurried obsequiously to Raine.

He was holding a bottle of red wine and went over to pour half a glass for Ryan and Diane.

“Young Master Renn, I am Ram Edwin, the second son of Luciano Edwin.”

Raine used spatial magic to place the wine glass in his hand on the coffee table four meters away from him, and looked at Ram and said.

"I heard from Diane that your Edwin family is actually involved in the forced sale of furs?"

Upon hearing this, Ram felt as if he had been doused with ice water.

"Ah...this...my...the family business is all taken care of by my...eldest brother, I...I only just found out."

Leaning against Raine's chest, Diane looked at Ram, who was usually so arrogant, and saw him so humble and obsequious. She pouted, and her anger towards the Edwin family subsided considerably.
