Chapter 0581
With a plan in mind, Diana wasted no tputting it into action.
As the saying goes, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and luckily for her, she was a decent cook.
In truth, Diana hadn't always known how to cook.
After an injury she sustained stago, she often found herself overthinking and spiraling into negativity.
No matter how much Suzy tried to comfort her, those thoughts were hard to shake.
Then, during that speriod, her brother got into trouble. Their grandmother was so worried she could barely
eat, so Diana decided to try cooking in an effort to cheer her up.
To her surprise, she discovered she enjoyed it. Preparing ingredients and focusing on recipes left no room for
intrusive thoughts.
Over time, her cooking improved, and the weight on her mind gradually lifted.
Now, determined to win Elliot over, Diana asked his subordinates about his favorite foods. She quickly learned
that he loved spicy dishes and practically couldn't eat without sheat.
This posed a challenge for Diana. She couldn't handle spicy food at all and had only ever learned to cook mild

But if cooking for Elliot meant learning something new, she was willing to do it. What she didn't expect was to
discover she had a chili allergy.
Even touching chili peppers caused her hands to turn red and itchy, and her arms broke out in small hives.
Despite this, she didn't give up.
After two days of experimenting and learning, Diana mastered several of Elliot's favorite spicy dishes. On the
third evening, she packed everything into a food carrier and went to see him.
"What are you doing here?" Elliot asked the moment he saw her, his expression cold and unwelcoming.
As his rival's sister, Diana wasn't exactly someone he wanted to entertain. Most men wouldn't treat her kindly in
his position, and he was no exception.
In the past, Diana would have snapped back without hesitation. But this time, she had a goal, and until she
achieved it, she wasn't going to let his attitude get under her skin.
Instead of getting angry, she smiled and placed the food carrier on the table in front of him. "I cto
apologize!"
"Apologize?" Elliot looked genuinely puzzled. "What are you apologizing for?"
Instead of answering, Diana opened the food carrier and began setting the dishes on the table.

Three beautifully plated dishes and a soup, all vibrant, aromatic, and perfectly spiced, immediately filled the
room with mouthwatering scents. The sight alone was enough to make anyone's appetite grow, and for someone
who loved spicy food like Elliot, it was impossible not to swallow hard.
As the saying goes, "When someone suddenly acts overly kind without reason, they're either up to no good or
want something."
Just a few days ago, Diana had been combative and snide, yet here she was now, completely transformed,
claiming to apologize.
Elliot wasn't naive-he could see right through her.
"All right, spill it," he said, putting down the pen in his hand and leaning back in his chair. "What's your real
reason for coming to see me?"
"Is it that obvious?" Diana was caught off guard but tried her best to maintain composure. Even though her true
intentions had been exposed, she forced a calm smile. "I really am here to apologize.

My brother couldn't make Suzy happy before, and now... look at him. He's in a wheelchair,
and we don't even know if he'll ever walk again. If he can't, then Suzy would be sacrificing her entire life for him.
"She's already endured so much hardship during the years they were together-so many
struggles and so much pain. I'd promised myself | wouldn't let her go through that again, yet here | am, going
back on my word."
