Shining Bright After Rebirth

Chapter 314 Following

Queenie looked up, taking in Steven’s sharp and breathtaking features. His presence was overwhelming, those eyes devoid of emotion. This version of Steven made her incredibly uneasy.

She shook her head, playing the victim. “Steven, I don’t know why she’d try to frame me. Maybe she’s just jealous of how much you dote on me.”

Steven’s gaze grew even colder at her words.

He almost wished Diana was jealous.

He wished she would confront him like she used to, “Steven, we’re the ones who are married. Why are you having dinner alone with Queenie?”

Back then, he thought she was being unreasonable. Now, seeing her dining with Alexander, he finally understood Diana’s fury.

Queenie watched Steven’s face, unable to read his mood. Her emotions were on a rollercoaster. Just one look from him was

enough to send chills down her’spine.

Steven had never made her feel this way before.

But now…

“Let’s go,” Steven said coldly.

Queenie asked, puzzled, “Steven, why won’t you get divorced? Don’t you love me anymore? You promised you’d marry me.

“You’re not getting divorced, but you’re not marrying me

either…”

“I’ve been testing your character, Queenie. Your recent actions. have left me deeply disappointed.”

Steven turned and walked away.

Queenie’s face went pale as she watched his retreating figure, her expression darkening.

It was all that damn Diana’s fault. If it weren’t for Diana, Steven couldn’t think she had a bad character!

Queenie ran after him to explain. “Steven, Diana set me up.

You…”

“What about the time you staged your own kidnapping? Did she hold a knife to your throat and force you to fake your own abduction?”

“That was a mistake. I did it for you. I thought if I came back, you’d marry me. How could I do something like that otherwise? I only did it because I love you.” Queenie’s tears flowed freely. Her pale face and teary eyes made her look pitiful.

Steven didn’t look at her as he strode down the stairs.

Queenie gritted her teeth as she watched Steven’s back. This man really didn’t understand love.

Growing up in a dysfunctional family, he didn’t even know who he truly loved.

No matter. She knew how to handle him.

“Diana, you’re dead meat.”

Queenie pulled out her phone and fired off a message to Mario.

[Leak the news about Diana’s plagiarism. Buy trending spots. Spare no expense. I want her reputation utterly destroyed.]

Mario replied: [Ms. Marsh, Diana’s already trending. Leaking this now won’t have much impact. Plus, someone’s suppressing the topic.]

[The other side’s digging into this. We’ve done damage control, but they seem to know it’s you. They sent over a photo of you with Mr. Gellar.]

Queenie saw red when she looked at it. It was Diana!

She knew all along! No way! Steven hadn’t divorced Diana yet. If this photo got out, Queenie would be branded a homewrecker.

It’d tank her career. Steven was her meal ticket – acting was her fastest way to cash.

If Steven cut her off, she couldn’t bring herself to beg,

Their relationship was already on thin ice.

Queenie headed downstairs, but instead of Steven, Evan was waiting by the curb.

Queenie approached him. “Evan, where’s your boss?”

Evan smiled apologetically. “Mr. Gellar had to leave. I’m here to take you home, Ms. Marsh.”

Queenie gritted her teeth, her eyes still puffy from crying.

“He didn’t even wait for me,” she grumbled, glancing at the bustling street.

She knew Steven was slipping away. It felt like falling from grace, and it stung.

No, this couldn’t happen!

Steven had to marry her! It was the only way he could quietly take his place as the Gellar family heir!

“Let’s go to Steven’s villa.” Evan said nothing and drove her to Steven’s place.

But she wouldn’t be able to see Steven there anyway.

Diana and Alexander headed home together, as they lived in the same neighborhood.

Steven followed in his car. Alexander noticed and deliberately took a detour through the city.

Diana asked, puzzled, “What’s going on, Alexander? Why are we heading downtown?”

Alexander glanced in the rearview mirror, a flicker of anger in his eyes. “Steven’s tailing us.”

Diana was surprised. “Why would Steven be following me?”

She remembered Steven’s warning, insisting she return home tonight.
