Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 794

Chapter 794 Refusing His Offer

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 turned serious, frustration evident.

Diana held his gaze firmly. "Why should I? If you're looking for revenge against Queenie, just say so. No need to beat around the bush.

"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.

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.
