**When The Ocean Learned My Name and Whispered It Back to You by Aurelia Novel 558**<\/p>\n
**Chapter 558**<\/p>\n
A wave of frustration surged within her, a tempest threatening to break free. She took a deep breath, forcing the anger deep down into the recesses of her mind. \u201cJust give him the phone,\u201d she commanded, her voice steady despite the storm inside.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d he replied, his compliance immediate and unquestioning.<\/p>\n
A heartbeat later, Leon\u2019s composed voice resonated through the line. \u201cDiana, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
The calmness in his tone felt like a knife twisting in her chest, sharpening her response. \u201cLeon, I\u2019ve been waiting at the courthouse for fifteen minutes. Has your sense of time deteriorated to this extent?\u201d<\/p>\n
A brief silence hung in the air, heavy and charged. \u201cYou\u2019re at the courthouse?\u201d he asked, bewildered.<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s lips curled into a cold, humorless laugh, a sound devoid of warmth. \u201cNina and Helen confirmed the time. Three this afternoon. To sign the divorce papers. Your ever-diligent secretary would not have failed to inform you, would she?\u201d<\/p>\n
Leon\u2019s response was reflexive, a knee-jerk reaction. \u201cMaybe Nina misunderstood something?\u201d<\/p>\n
He had distinctly instructed Helen to communicate to Diana that he wouldn\u2019t be able to make it today. Helen was usually reliable; she wouldn\u2019t have made the same mistake twice. Or at least, she shouldn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n
Diana could sense the chill in his words, a frost that seeped into her very being.<\/p>\n
Of course. If Helen was involved, Leon\u2019s first instinct was to cast doubt elsewhere. That was his modus operandi. He placed unwavering trust in his secretary, far more than he ever did in his own wife.<\/p>\n
But Diana had no desire to engage in a futile argument. She focused solely on what truly mattered. \u201cDo you have time to come and finalize the divorce now?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her tone practically dripped with eagerness, as if she was ready to cross this final bridge.<\/p>\n
Leon\u2019s brow furrowed, confusion etched on his face. \u201cWhat\u2019s the rush? Do you already have another marriage alliance lined up?\u201d<\/p>\n
The remark sliced through the air, sharper than his usual calm demeanor. Even he seemed taken aback by his own words. Perhaps it was the unsettling calmness Diana exuded that rattled him.<\/p>\n
Throughout their marriage, no matter the provocations, even when Helen acted overtly to incite her, Diana had always maintained her composure. And now, with divorce looming before her, she was a picture of tranquility that unsettled Leon more than he cared to admit.<\/p>\n
He still couldn\u2019t grasp why she was so insistent on ending their marriage. They had shared a stable life together, one devoid of significant conflict.<\/p>\n
Her unexpected laughter caught him off guard.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no interest in flirting with other men while still married,\u201d she stated matter-of-factly.<\/p>\n
A strange relief washed over him at her words, even though they hinted at something deeper. He opened his mouth to respond, but Helen approached him, whispering something in his ear.<\/p>\n
By the time he gathered his thoughts and prepared to clarify his position, the call had already disconnected.<\/p>\n
Diana was done with Helen, far more than he realized.<\/p>\n
Before rejoining the meeting room, he turned to Helen, who lingered just a step behind him. \u201cWhy did you agree to 3:00 p.m. at the courthouse? I explicitly told you to cancel it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He still refused to believe their marriage had reached its conclusion. He thought that if they simply waited, she would come to her senses.<\/p>\n
Helen froze, startled by his sudden intensity. She quickly pulled out her phone to check the chat history. Her voice softened, an innocent facade. \u201cImpossible. I made it clear to Nina that\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
Leon narrowed his eyes, cutting her off. \u201cYou called Diana last night to apologize, didn\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Guilt flickered across Helen\u2019s face, only to vanish in an instant. She steadied her voice, attempting to regain control. \u201cI called. She probably doesn\u2019t like me, so she didn\u2019t pick up. I had no choice but to inform Nina. I never thought she would misunderstand\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
After ending the call, Diana inhaled deeply, regaining her composure in mere seconds. She exchanged a few words with the staff, then exited the building, making her way directly to the Hutton estate.<\/p>\n
The maid who had been involved in swapping the DNA samples hadn\u2019t stepped out of the maids\u2019 quarters in two days.<\/p>\n
As soon as she spotted Diana entering, panic flickered across her features. Before Diana could utter a single word, the maid rushed into an explanation. \u201cMs. Hutton, I swear I didn\u2019t know where that sample came from. I don\u2019t know whose it was. Ms. Monroe gave it to me. She told me to switch it.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Diana allowed her expression to harden, she became a figure of intimidation. Her piercing gaze bore down on the maid, sending a chill racing down the woman\u2019s spine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll ask you one last time. Was it Penelope or Megan?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cP-Penelope!\u201d the maid stammered, her response immediate and resolute. She clung to that narrative with all her might.<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s smile remained icy. \u201cOh? Then tell me. What did she promise you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe said she would give me $40,000 afterward.\u201d The maid leaned into her lie, her voice quivering. \u201cMs. Hutton, you know how it is. My husband died young. I only have my son in university. I need to save whatever I can for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, right. I remember your son is quite the diligent student. He got into Brimcrest University, didn\u2019t he?\u201d Diana\u2019s tone was deceptively sympathetic until her next words cut through the air. \u201cThen you know that half of Brimcrest University\u2019s academic buildings were funded by the Huttons. We donate tens of millions every year. Our influence there is substantial.\u201d<\/p>\n
The maid flinched, her fingers trembling. \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
Diana let out a soft, almost mocking laugh.<\/p>\n
\u201cGilda, I\u2019m not as principled as my grandfather. I don\u2019t believe in sparing anyone\u2019s family. As long as I can find my sister, I will do whatever it takes. By any means necessary.\u201d Each word was pronounced with chilling clarity.<\/p>\n
The maid\u2019s legs buckled beneath her. She collapsed into a chair, panic-stricken, and grasped Diana\u2019s arm in desperation. \u201cMs. Hutton, aren\u2019t you afraid someone will expose you one day? You could lose everything\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan had assured her that as long as she denied everything, the Huttons wouldn\u2019t be able to touch her. Diana worked in government, after all; her reputation was on the line. And Albus would never resort to underhanded tactics.<\/p>\n
But Diana\u2019s expression remained unyielding. \u201cIf I can\u2019t protect my own family, why would I care about my position?\u201d<\/p>\n
Everything she had built, every step she had taken to rise to the top, existed solely to safeguard her family.<\/p>\n
Without giving the maid a moment to collect her thoughts, she pried the woman\u2019s fingers off her arm one by one. \u201cIf you can\u2019t figure it out, I\u2019ll take my leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWait! I\u2019ll talk!\u201d The maid sprang to her feet, fear etched across her features. \u201cIt was Ms. Megan. I also know where she got the hair sample.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her eyes were red with terror, her voice trembling as she continued, \u201cI\u2019ll tell you everything. Please, spare my son.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the aftermath of the confrontation, Diana stood resolute, the weight of her decisions settling heavily on her shoulders. The confrontation with the maid had been a necessary step, a move made not out of malice but from a desperate need to reclaim her family and her identity. As the truth began to unfold, she felt a surge of empowerment coursing through her veins, a stark contrast to the frustration that had threatened to consume her just hours before. The divorce from Leon was no longer just a legal formality; it was a declaration of her independence, a pivotal moment where she chose to prioritize her family over the remnants of a marriage that had long since eroded.<\/p>\n
As Diana walked away from the maid, she realized that the path ahead would be fraught with challenges, but she was prepared to face them head-on.
