Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

Half an hour later, the night sky over Savannah was like a thick black silk, tightly enveloping the city. There were few pedestrians on the streets, and occasionally a few car lights streaked across the silent night sky like shooting stars.

Diana's motorcade weaved through the dappled city lights, eventually stopping in front of her grandmother's old mansion in Savannah's historic district.

The building has a typical southern manor style, with tall white pillars supporting a wide porch, standing silently like a guardian.

After being confirmed by security personnel, the convoy slowly drove into the spacious courtyard, its wheels gently grazing the stone path, and finally came to a quiet stop in front of the magnificent main gate.

Diana's female bodyguard got out of the car first, quickly scanned the surroundings, and after confirming that everything was normal, she signaled the driver to open the car door and respectfully reached out to help Diana get out of the car smoothly.

The two entered the old house together; the hall was brightly lit.

Diana's grandmother, the former Countess of Spencer, Cynthia Spencer, sat in an exquisitely carved wooden chair, holding an old book in her hands, immersed in the world of words.

As the footsteps drew closer, she looked up, a hint of inquiry and concern flashing in her eyes.

"Diana, my child, you're finally back."

What happened tonight?

You seem a little tired.

"I'm sorry, Grandma, I've worried you."

With the help of her female bodyguard, Diana steadied herself and replied softly, "I'm probably feeling a bit tired because I drank some wine at dinner and stayed out in the cold night air for a while."

If possible, I'd like to go back to my room and rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow, okay, Grandmother?

"Of course, darling."

Get some rest, and we'll talk again tomorrow when you're refreshed.

Lady Cynthia, a true court lady, maintained her dignity and elegance even at such a moment.

She nodded gently and said softly, "If you need anything, remember to tell your maid or the bodyguards who are on night watch outside."

Good night, sweet dreams.

After listening, Diana gave her grandmother a warm smile of gratitude, and then, led by a maid, she left the brightly lit hall with light steps.

"Wait a minute, Laura."

I think you have some information to provide regarding tonight's events.

Yeah?"

Just as the head of the female bodyguards who accompanied Diana that evening was about to quietly leave, Lady Cynthia's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting her departure.

Laura stopped, turned around, nodded, and her expression turned serious.

She took a few steps closer and said in a low voice, "Yes, madam."

There were indeed some noteworthy events tonight, but I think it would be more appropriate to discuss them in a more private setting.

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Cynthia's eyes instantly turned sharp and serious.

She gently beckoned Laura to follow her into a small adjacent study.

The walls of the study were neatly lined with rows of old books, and a faint fragrance of books filled the air.

"Lola, what exactly is this 'thing worth noting' you're talking about?"

After Mrs. Cynthia sat down, she kept her eyes fixed on Laura, waiting for her explanation.

Laura took a deep breath and began her report: "Madam, tonight we accompanied Miss Diana to the jewelry store near Rennes Square."

Just as they were preparing to return, they unexpectedly encountered Mr. Henry Getty.

"Henry Getty?"

You mean George II's son?

Lady Cynthia was clearly familiar with the name.

The fact that the two children were able to meet and become friends back then was also the result of her tacit approval.

However, after George II's suicide, she never paid any attention to this Getty boy again.

I thought the two sides would rarely cross paths again in the future;

Unexpectedly, the two met again in this remote small town in America.

"It is him, madam."

Judging from his behavior, he also did not expect to meet Miss Diana here.

Miss Diana took the initiative to greet her and suggested that they have a meal together...

Laura began to recall every detail of what had happened that night, while Mrs. Cynthia listened intently, her expression shifting from nodding to frowning as she recounted the events.

Especially when Laura mentioned that Diana and Henry had been alone in the private room for two hours, and that she sensed something unusual about the room at the last moment: "Like what?"

"As if what?"

Mrs. Cynthia continued in a sharp tone, "They were just friends getting together and talking."

I think this is a common opinion among everyone!

"Yes, madam, my team and I think so too."

Laura quickly grasped Lady Cynthia's intention. She bowed slightly and answered in a firm tone, indicating her agreement.

Seeing Laura's compliance, Lady Cynthia smiled with satisfaction: "Well, thank you for your report, Laura."

You must be tired tonight, go and get some rest.

I will inform the housekeeper later and have her issue you an extra bonus.

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam."

Laura bowed again to express her gratitude, feeling relieved that she had landed safely in this incident!

She bowed her head and slowly left the study, leaving Mrs. Cynthia alone in the study, lost in thought.

As she pondered, her gaze involuntarily fell upon the slightly yellowed photograph on the desk—the real reason that drove her to travel across the ocean to Savannah every year.

In fact, before she married Edward Spencer, the 7th Earl Spencer, she had met a young gentleman from Savannah.

However, this young man tragically lost his life on the battlefield during World War I.

After that, she was heartbroken and obeyed the Queen Mother's wishes, marrying Earl Spencer and becoming a member of the Spencer family.

However, this brief but passionate love remained deep within her heart.

Every time she sees this photo, she is overwhelmed with indescribable emotions, including nostalgia for the beautiful past and deep sorrow for her lost lover.

Mrs. Cynthia slowly rose and gently stroked the photograph.

A moment later, she put the photo back in its place, turned around and walked to the window, gazing at the tranquil night view outside.

Savannah at night exudes a unique charm.

"The word 'love' is the most hurtful!"

Diana, a love affair that had no future, should not be in your life;

You shouldn't have to go through the same tragic experience as me.

Cynthia Spencer knew that if Diana's relationship with Henry was allowed to continue, it would bring unforeseen risks to her family's marriage plans with the British royal family.

Although the Getty family's power in America should not be underestimated, it is still slightly inferior to that of the Windsor family.

Prince Charles has now clearly expressed his interest in Diana, and changing his decision at this point would greatly damage the reputation of the Windsor family.

At that time, the Getty family will be far away in America, and the Windsor family may not be able to do anything about them;

But the Spencer family is based in England, so it wouldn't be too difficult for them to make things difficult for the other side if they wanted to!
