Shining Bright After Rebirth
Chapter 887 I Heard Everything You Said to Diana
1/7
Diana smiled faintly and shook her head, her bright eyes making her seem radiant. “Queenie, your mistake is in wanting something for nothing. You think you can win men over with your looks and climb the social ladder using their status. That’s not your real fault, though. Your fault lies in draining Paula dry and stepping over her to get ahead.
“Queenie, you’ve succeeded before, thanks to my stupidity. That’s the only reason you had an opportunity.”
Queenie frowned, her face full of doubt. What was Diana talking about?
A gust of cold wind blew past, making her shiver. Yel, Diana stood firmly in front of the door, blocking her way.
Queenie’s voice trembled as she asked, “Diana, what do you mean by that?”
Diana smiled and shook her head. “Nothing much. I just think you’re quite something.”
Queenie frowned, watching her smile. She had a nagging feeling Diana knew something.
“Diana, you don’t have to be so sarcastic. Move aside–I need to

see Steven.”
Diana didn’t budge. “Queenie, the evidence of you instructing the housekeeper to poison his grandmother is all there–on video. And yet, you still dare come looking for Steven? Aren’t you afraid he’ll turn you in?”
Queenie froze. Impossible! The housekeeper wouldn’t betray her.
Then she laughed, confident and pleased.
“Diana, if Steven wanted to send me to jail, he would’ve done it when he found out about the housekeeper. And yet, here I am, perfectly fine.
“I’ve told you before–no matter what I do, Steven will forgive me unconditionally.”
Diana’s heart ached sharply. “Yes, sometimes I envy you. You had a man who adored you completely, and you ruined it by being involved with other men.”
Queenie clenched her fists, gripping the handle of the gift bag so tightly her knuckles whitened.
On the surface, she remained calm, her tone full of pride. “Diana, even if I cheated, Steven still loves me madly. He still visits me in the hospital and stays by my side.
“With him, the damsel–in–distress act works like a charm.
Chapter 887 I Heard Everything You Said to… “Steven’s feelings for me run deep. After all, I’m the one who saved his life.”

“Tsk!” Diana scoffed, shaking her head at Queenie’s arrogance. “Saved him? Queenie, when did you ever save him? You’re the one who’s been trying to kill him all along.”
Queenie’s gaze faltered, panic flashing through her heart. “Diana, what nonsense are you spouting? This is none of your business. Move out of my way–I’m going to see Steven.”
Diana stood her ground. “Queenie, you’re not getting in today. If you go anywhere, it’ll be to the police station…” “You’d better leave now. Don’t ruin our lunch. If you do, I won’t hesitate to take the evidence I have straight to the police. No matter how capable Steven is, even he won’t be able to clear your name.
“Or I could expose all of this online. Your choice.”
Queenie glared at her coldly, but in her heart, she already knew what she needed to confirm.
She had rushed over to find out exactly how much Steven knew.
Megan wouldn’t betray her. She was sure of it–he was too smart for that.
The result was as she expected. Even if Steven knew about the slow poisoning of his grandmother, he wouldn’t have her arrested.
Queenie sneered. “Fine. I won’t go in. But let me make one thing
Chapter 887 | Heard Everything You Said to… clear–you’ll never have Steven as long as I’m around.”

Diana shook her head. “I wouldn’t want a man like him after he’s been tainted. He’s all yours–perfect for someone with your messy relationships.”
“Ha! Diana, you can’t seduce men yourself, so you call me filthy? Get real. A woman’s youth and beauty are her greatest assets. That’s why you’ve always been so broke.”
Diana’s words infuriated Queenie. She decided Diana had to go.
Soon, Diana would be out of her way for good.
Diana laughed in anger. “Queenie, you can insult yourself all you want on your way to hell. Your life has nothing to do with me. But I’ll say it again–every time you cross me, I’ll pay you back tenfold.”
Diana didn’t want to argue anymore.
The fact that Queenie was still here proved to Diana that Steven wouldn’t do anything to her.
She already knew the answer, but her heart still ached, even if she’d grown numb to it.
With a loud slam, she shut the door.
Diana smiled faintly. At last, peace and quiet.
Queenie was seething, unable to understand why Steven
Chapter 887 I Heard Everything You Said to… 5/7 wouldn’t divorce Diana if he didn’t love her.
She turned, and suddenly, she saw Steven standing behind her.
His tall figure, cold features, and imposing presence overwhelmed her.
Queenie parted her lips slightly, staring at Steven in shock.
“Steven, you…”
How long had he been there?
How much had he heard?
Nervous, Queenie’s grip faltered, and the gift bag in her hand fell to the floor.
Steven’s gaze was cold and piercing. He smirked slightly. “I’ve been here for a while. I heard everything you said to Diana.”
Fear spread through Queenie’s chest like wildfire.
She quickly tried to cover, “Steven, don’t take those words to heart. Diana and I were just messing around. You know how women are always competing. It was just some harmless chatter.”
“Harmless chatter?” Steven’s tone was icy, his smile chilling.
Queenie couldn’t read what Steven was thinking. She was tense, terrified by his cryptic expression.

Chapter 887 I Heard Everything You Said to… “Steven, the thing with Mrs. Gellar–it wasn’t me! Megan wanted money from me. She did it all on her own. It has nothing to do with me.
“All I did was give her a little money to find out what you like. I know how busy you are… You used to want to marry me, but Mr. Gellar and Mrs. Gellar didn’t approve. I only gave Megan money to understand their preferences–I never told her to poison
anyone.
“Diana said that to ruin me, Steven. I grew up with you–don’t you know my character by now?”
“Yes, you grew up with me. But you’re a ghost, Queenie. I never truly saw who you were.
Queenie froze, speechless.
She bit her lip in frustration.
“Steven, how can you say that about me? I… I only said those things because of my issues with Diana. Don’t take it to heart.”
Damn Diana, ruining her image in Steven’s heart again and again.
Did Diana see Steven earlier and deliberately bait her into saying those things?
Diana’s schemes were growing more calculated. And why hadn’t Samuel, that useless idiot acted yet?
Chapter 887 I Heard Everything You Said to… “Oh? And what do you expect me to say? Queenie, did you know? Before Diana came into my life, I actually considered marrying you… But after marrying Diana, I never wanted to marry you again.”
7/7
He took a step closer, his smile turning sardonic. “Queenie, do you know why?”
