"A full body exam?"
Diana's face fell as she thought, "How convenient, Joe and family."
Right now, to do a full body checkup in the hospital would cost about ten thousand dollars. It wasn't like she
couldn't afford the fees, but why did she have to be the one to bear the cost?
"You can't say things like this, Paul. Yolanda already reminded you that something was wrong with the soup. Did
you heed her advice?" Diana was suddenly reminded of what Yolanda had said and suddenly, it was like she
found a way out.
"You didn't listen to her and instead, insisted on drinking the soup. You can't blthe food poisoning on me."
Diana insisted that she had no part to play in this since Alice didn't heed Yolanda's advice and was adamant
about drinking the soup.
Alice and her family refused to relent.
"How could you push away all responsibility, Diana? Who would believe Yolanda's words just now? If you really
believed what she said, you'd get your helper to throw the soup out immediately.

"Since you're so unreasonable, | won't hold back anymore. | want to go get a check-up in the hospital tomorrow,
and you have to buyssupplements like caviar and royal jelly forto replenish my health. The food
poisoning had surely caused a lot of damage to my body."
"Know your limits, Alice Lawson!"
Diana was already very annoyed at Alice and her family for showing up unannounced to feast for free. How dare
they now shamelessly take her kindness for granted by asking for more?
Diana spread her hands before her and spat, "I have nothing else for you here. If you want to eat here today, eat
up. If not, you're welcto leave now."
"Say something, Harold! Look at how ridiculous Diana's attitude is."
Joe watched as Diana and Alice bickered. He felt like it wasn't his place to say anything to them, so he turned to
Harold while complaining and grumbling.
Harold was starting to have a headache from all the arguing. "Enough! Stop fighting."
Then, Harold turned to Diana and said, "Diana, bring Alice to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow."
To Harold, it was just a matter of money. He didn't have the patience to deal with Joe and his family.
Joe and his family heard what Harold had to say and the expressions they wore were so smug and haughty, they
were like soldiers in a battle won as they smirked victoriously at Diana.
Diana was upset and aggrieved that Harold didn't side with her. "I don't have ttomorrow."
"If you don't have ttomorrow, Diana, we can always get it done ourselves," Joe responded with a flattering
smile. "You just have to send us money for the examination fees."
To them, it was better if Diana wasn't there, because they could just take ten thousand dollars in cash and not go
through with the examinations.
"You're just too—" Diana choked and started coughing profusely.
"Are you okay, Mom?" Yvonne asked.
Yvonne was waiting for Diana and Alice to finish fighting before she cover to Diana's side. She held Diana's
hand insincerely and started caring for Diana's wellbeing.
"Sit down and take a break. If you've got no ttomorrow, Mom, | do. I'll go with Aunt Alice to do the checkups.
"I have a friend who works in a facility. | can ask my friend to arrange for a series of health checks for Aunt
Alice."
Yvonne's words soothed Diana's heart a little.
Since Alice had to get checkups done, it would be best if they could spend as little money as possible. Yvonne
said she knew someone from the facilities, so Alice definitely wouldn't be able to do anything fishy.
"Yvonne is still the most thoughtful," Diana thought as she shot Yolanda a resentful look.
Yolanda had not spoken up for her at all since the very beginning. Wasn't she very
quick to declare that the soup was not fit for drinking?
"She's useless in all the important times!" Diana thought angrily.
"Yvonne, you-"
Just as Diana was about to continue, there were violent knocking sounds on the door.
There was a doorbell at the villa's gate, and guests would usually stand by the door to ring the doorbell. They
wouldn't barge in to knock on the door directly. The helper ran hastily to the door and when she opened it, a
dozen uniformed young men barged in.
"Who is it?"
