Chapter 283

"Diana told me."

"I've already sold those jewels of yours. Because I didn't know when you would come to find me, I found Diana and told her I was your person, and asked for your address."

"I did this, is that okay?"

Barbara Minerva looked around the room curiously while placing the two boxes on the coffee table in front of the sofa, then looked at Su Quan with a smile.

Many people who are dissatisfied with their lives will suddenly inflate after gaining powerful strength or wealth; otherwise, there wouldn't be terms like 'a small person who has gained success' and 'nouveau riche'.

Clearly, Barbara Minerva had inflated and was floating!

Su Quan came to her with interest, reached out and pinched her chin, lifting her head: "Knowing Diana is my person, you told Diana you were also my person, and asked for my address."

"Tell me, what gave you the courage and confidence to do this?"

Barbara Minerva didn't panic, and her eyes didn't dodge. While looking directly at Su Quan, her right hand had already rested on his shoulder.

"It's because—of power!"

Barbara Minerva smiled triumphantly and pushed her right hand hard against Su Quan's shoulder.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, reward dropped: Super Strength (Barbara Minerva)"

The current Barbara Minerva hadn't become Cheetah yet; she could only be considered a copy of Diana.

However, Diana didn't make a wish and lose her ability like in the movie, so the Yellow Crystal Wish Stone should only be able to let her reach the level of a normal Diana, and shouldn't be able to let her possess divine power like Diana's!

"Hmm?"

Looking at Su Quan, who hadn't moved a bit and hadn't flown out as she imagined, Barbara Minerva's triumphant expression stiffened instantly, and she subconsciously pushed hard again.

As a result, he still didn't move a bit!

"How could this be? I clearly—" Barbara Minerva impatiently knocked away Su Quan's hand, turned around, grabbed the sofa with one hand, and easily flipped it away.

"Bang!"

The sofa hit the wall, instantly making the living room a mess.

Barbara Minerva didn't care at all, looking at her hands and chuckling.

Her strength was still there; she hadn't lost her ability.

The brief panic disappeared. Barbara Minerva turned around, just about to figure out what had happened, but as soon as she turned, she felt a punch to her chest. The sharp pain made her grunt, and she flew backwards involuntarily.

Seeing that Barbara Minerva was about to hit the wall, Su Quan suddenly reacted, caught up to Barbara Minerva in an instant, and grabbed her neck with one hand, stopping her.

The sudden stop almost snapped Barbara Minerva's neck. The tips of her beautiful high heels scraped the ground back and forth several times before they finally touched the ground, stabilizing her body.

The pain and suffocation instantly sobered up Barbara Minerva, who had thought she was powerful!

She wasn't as powerful as she had imagined at all!

Intense unwillingness surged in her heart. She had originally thought that she had gained power and could finally be as generous and confident as Diana, never having to feel inferior again, and never having to worry about being ignored again.

But why?

Why, even though I'm already so powerful, and even though others have started to value me and please me, is it still useless in front of Su Quan?

That's right.

Because Su Quan is stronger than me, because I'm not strong enough!

Su Quan waved his hand, and the overturned sofa instantly turned back to its original position. He glanced at the wall where the paint had been knocked off and frowned at Barbara Minerva.

"That yellow crystal, when did you make a wish to it?"

"Yes, yesterday, I went to a black market wanting to sell the jewelry my friend had picked over to them, and then I saw a yellow crystal that hadn't been handed over to the buyer yet."

"It said on it that you could make a wish, I—I saw you and Diana leave together the day before, so I wished to be like Diana, and then I had the strength I have now."

Su Quan glanced at the two boxes on the table. Since the money from selling the jewelry was already in hand, it meant it had already been sold to the black market, and that black market hadn't been robbed?

"Where is that yellow crystal?"

"It was, it was taken by the buyer. I know him; he is that Maxwell Lord from the Black Gold Cooperative on TV. If you want it, I can help you rob it."

Barbara Minerva's lack of hesitation in saying she would rob it was enough to prove that what she lost should be kindness, or conscience?

This is one of the fundamental reasons why a kind, honest person turns into a villain!

"Okay."
