Chapter 794 Refusing His Offer
1/3
Diana eyed Steven with curiosity. “What kind of cooperation are you talking about?”
Steven leaned in closer, a smirk playing on his lips. “Queenie. doesn’t care about me. She’s just using me. If we get back
together, it would definitely drive her crazy, don’t you think?”
Diana’s eyes widened in surprise. “Steven, when did you figure this out?”
The revelation caught her off guard.
She couldn’t believe that he had seen through Queenie’s schemes.
Although she didn’t fully trust him, the idea of getting under Queenie’s skin was enticing.
“Getting back at her does sound satisfying, but I’m not keen on stepping into your mess. For my own sake, I think I’ll pass on the partnership.”
She was wary of teaming up with him.
If he decided to side with Queenie again, she could end up in serious trouble.
“You don’t trust me?” His voice
urned serious, frustration
evident.

“And if Amelie finds out what happened tonight, it’ll look like you sold me out.”
Steven was exasperated. It seemed she would never let her guard down.

“Trust me this time. I’ll stand by you, no more disappointments. As your husband, I’m committed to believing in you.”
Diana felt a jolt of unease at his words. Something felt off.
“No, that’s not necessary. I can handle my own issues. If you want something, just say it directly. I’m not playing your games anymore. You’ve used those tricks too often, forcing me to apologize or taking things I care about. If you want something, just ask. No more schemes.”
Her expression turned pale, the anxiety clear in her eyes.
She was genuinely afraid of Steven’s intentions and knew she wasn’t ready to confront him just yet.
Waiting for a better moment felt safer.
He studied her, recognizing her reluctance to trust him. It hurt more than he expected to see her so distant.
After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath, feeling an ache in his chest.
“I’m going to the restroom. Think over my proposal while I’m gone. I hope you’ll give me a clear answer when I get back.”

He rose, his posture tall, and headed toward the restroom, leaving Diana lost in thought.
3/3
She couldn’t muster the energy to consider his offer. The longer it took, the more she sensed he would become relentless. Anyone who crossed his path didn’t end up well.
It puzzled her how he had transformed so completely.
In her last life, he was already married to Queenie. Why was he still being so malicious?
Queenie was a master manipulator, fooling everyone to become the richest woman in Capitole.
But this time, luck wasn’t on her side. She had parents who dragged her down.
Despite her cruel nature, Queenie was truly devoted to her parents. She was willing to sacrifice having a loving mother like Paula just to ensure her mother could be recognized as Jeff’s legitimate wife and to avoid being labeled as an illegitimate
child.
It was tragic that she had never known the warmth of a mother, never experienced the love that came with it.
Returning to Paula, she had always been deprived of maternal
affection.
