Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 921

Over the years, Steven had faced countless misfortunes. Car accidents, poisoning and fires. Disasters of every sort that he couldn't even count anymore.

His childhood had been a nightmare until Queenie saved him, showing him warmth that he had never known.

That kindness had forged a bond that made him treat Queenie with utmost care.

In his life, there had been too few people who had truly cared for Steven, but in the end, even Queenie's life-saving grace felt like a facade.

Steven had always believed that he had hit rock bottom, only to discover that there was always a deeper pit waiting for him.

Just a few nights ago, fresh from surgery, disaster had struck again.

If he hadn't been hiding in the shadows, he would have already been at the bottom of the ocean.

But now, with Mysterium Organization involved, things had escalated to a new level.

A small fry like him couldn't possibly investigate such high-stakes matters.

George's emergence had unearthed shocking revelations, and it seemed Andrew was buried deep in this web of deceit.

A flicker of malice crossed Steven's eyes as he turned to Evan. "Find a way to get a sample from Andrew for a paternity test. You need to do it personally—offer more money if you have to, and make sure you keep a close watch on him."

Until now, he had never doubted Andrew's identity as his father, but with George looking exactly like him, the question gnawed at him. Was Andrew truly his biological father?

The existence of a perfect replica of himself meant that having an identical Andrew wasn't all that far-fetched.

"Got it, Mr. Gellar," Evan replied, and a sense of urgency crept into his voice.

Evan glanced at the clock and added, "Madam Gellar should have safely arrived abroad by now. Ms. Laurier, Mrs. Gellar's friend, personally took her there."

Steven nodded, and his expression was calm. "As long as Grandpa and Grandma are okay. You need to get Andrew's sample right away. He's furious right now and won't be on guard."

"Yes," Evan affirmed.

Steven pointed to the human skin mask on the table. "Put this on before you leave. You're all I have left."

Evan hesitated for a moment, and warmth spread through him. He chuckled. "Wait a minute, Mr. Gellar. Isn't George also wearing a human skin mask?"

Steven shook his head. "No. Even the most realistic mask would leave behind some trace.

"But he doesn't show any signs of wearing a mask at all."

Evan felt a bit deflated.

Investigating Mysterium Organization was beyond the reach of an ordinary person like him.

With a deep breath, Evan donned the mask and made his exit.

Steven turned his attention back to the computer screen, where Diana sat in her wheelchair, looking exuberant.

He couldn't help but smile, shaking his head. "Diana, you're so clever. You must have figured out that I'm alright with everything that's happening with Sir Foliot.

"Dalton's appearance will surely reassure you that I'm safe."

Leaning back in his wheelchair, Steven squinted thoughtfully, haunted by the echoes of Diana's painful memories.

She had said that in a past life, he had killed her and their child.

The thought of it made his entire being ache.

Steven wore a wry smile. "Diana, do you really think I'm the kind of monster who could kill you and our child?

"No wonder you react so strongly whenever the child is mentioned.

"And you say I'm not worthy of speaking about them.

"I had no idea how much pain you were holding inside."

Diana returned to the office and instructed Luna and Joseph to get to work.

Nolan was there with her, and after hearing Diana's words, he was taken aback.
