Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 916

Chapter 916 Beyond Her Expectations

Queenie lifted her chin slightly, and her gaze was fixed on Diana, which was filled with disdain and contempt. “Diana, no matter how much you try to squirm, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re illiterale.

“After living together for nearly four years, I know you well. You’re weak and incompetent. Let’s be real. You can’t even read a contract properly. How do you expect to manage a corporation?

“Everyone’s watching, Diana. How much longer do you want to embarrass yourself?”

As Queenie’s words hung in the air, every pair of eyes in the room turned to Diana. Their expressions dripped with mockery.

Diana met their gazes with a slight smile, one that seemed to emerge effortlessly, exuding a relaxed confidence.

Her eyes sparkled with calm as if she were in complete control of the world around her.

“Queenie, how well do you really know me to make such bold claims?”

Seeing the crowd’s derisive looks directed at Diana, Queenie felt a surge of triumph. She thought she was halfway to her goal and intended to keep the pressure on.

Diana turned to Luna. “Luna.”

Luna quickly stepped up to Queenie, and her expression was fierce.

Just as Queenie was about to question her intentions, a sharp slap echoed through the room.

Luna’s hand connected with Queenie’s face, leaving her stunned.

With fury in her eyes, Luna said, “Queenie, you’re the daughter of esteemed Paula. How dare you speak so rudely? Do you think you can belittle our Ms. Bishop?”

Queenie stood there, dazed, taking in Luna’s icy demeanor and the palpable anger in her gaze.

And Diana could speak the Raventia language fluently.

A sinking feeling settled in Queenie’s stomach.

“Could it be that all these years, Diana has been hiding her true abilities? Have I been the foolish clown in front of her?

But I’ve done my homework. Diana’s just a useless waste of space.”

others stared in shock at the unexpected turn of events.

Diana had never been this bold before.

Jace’s fury erupted. “Diana, don’t get too cocky! How dare you let someone hit Queenie? Just because you have a few tricks up your sleeve doesn’t mean you can look down on others?”

“Oh? Sir Foliot, are you feeling protective?” A teasing smile. appeared on her face as Diana regarded Jace.

Jace’s gaze locked onto Diana, and his mind raced. “Where does this girl get her audacity?”

His unease grew as he tried to decipher her inscrutable expression.

Not knowing what someone was truly thinking was the most dangerous game of all.

Jace retorted, “Queenie saved Novia. She’s like family to me. If you bully her, you’re bullying the Foliot family.”

“Tut, tut! Sir Foliot, you really are protective. I’ve never seen you defend your own kin this fiercely. Is she your family something else?”

or…

Queenie quickly interjected, desperate to cut Diana off, “Diana, why go there? You have no ability to sit in that chair. Just step down and save yourself from further embarrassment. Paula is your mother. Do you really want to tarnish her name?”

Diana looked at her, taking in her anxious and flustered demeanor. It was almost satisfying. “Queenie, you took Paula’s

Now you all live a happy little life together.

“I’ve severed ties with her long ago. She’s always regarded you as her daughter, so what does that make me?
