Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 939

Chapter 939 Front Row for Drama

Queenie beamed at Carlo, her eyes glinting with excitement as she watched his shocked, despairing, and pained expression. She loved moments of victory, especially the way people looked up to her during those times.

With a smile, she said, “Mr. Foster, apologies, okay? I got a little carried away and stole your thunder. But don’t worry, even after you sold out Mr. Wyatt Farley, he still speaks up for you.”

Carlo burst into laughter at her words, his grin stretching wide. He glanced at Wyatt, whose face was heavy with anguish, and sighed dramatically, “Oh, Wyatt. You can’t trust people so easily, you know? Especially partners like us–it’s even riskier to trust one another. Look at Queenie. She’s the perfect example. She spent over 20 years basking in Paula’s love and gave nothing in return. And yet, Queenie ended up with her adoptive mother’s company. Now, that’s what I call real business skills. Wyatt, only the ruthless ones get the sweet rewards.”

Queenie’s face darkened at Carlo’s remark, interpreting it as a jab at her ruthlessness. Still, she didn’t let anger show; after all, she and Carlo had ongoing collaborations.

Wyatt sneered, “If she can manipulate me so easily, don’t y think she can do the same to you, Mr. Foster?”

Carlo chuckled confidently. He had, of course, been wary of Queenie. In the business world, there were no real friends. He said, “Wyatt, that’s where you’re wrong. My partnership with Queenie came long before you. Don’t bother trying to stir the pot -she won’t turn on me.”

Wyatt was momentarily stunned, just realizing that he was the real fool in all of this. Anger churned inside him, impossible to suppress, leaving him seething. He gritted his teeth and spat, “You snakes. Whatever you snatch from me won’t last. Even if my company ends up in your hands, how long do you think you’ll keep it?”

Queenie smirked arrogantly, saying, “Oh, you don’t need to worry about that. I didn’t scheme against you. I’ve always been straightforward in my dealings. I partnered with you sincerely, without any tricks up my sleeve.

“But when your son got into trouble, I worried you wouldn’t be in the right mindset to manage your company. That could’ve affected my interests, so I teamed up with Mr. Foster. In business, one wrong move can lead to utter ruin.

“This isn’t about me being ruthless, Mr. Wyatt Farley. I simply made a decision any businessperson would make.”

Wyatt felt as though the weight of her words crushed his chest. The betrayal of a former close friend was a cruel awakening, leaving him in a daze.

Later, Queenie and Carlo discussed the acquisition terms. Wyatt was so furious he couldn’t utter a word. All he could hope was that his son wasn’t guilty of murder.

At the same time, Diana had already seen the news of Samuel’s arrest for murder. She sat in the Gellar Group’s office, waiting for Luna’s investigation results.

Luna returned quickly, walking over to Diana with a mocking smile. “You were spot on, Diana. Queenie and George are

already in Wyatt’s office, using Samuel’s arrest as leverage to acquire his company. Should we head over? Mr. Farley has already gone over.”

Diana chuckled, “Let’s go. I wouldn’t want to miss the show.”

Luna grinned. “Do you think Queenie will be scared out of her mind when she sees you alive?”

Diana shook her head. “Luna, you underestimate Queenie. Whether I’m alive or not doesn’t matter to her. As long as she can seize the moment and acquire Wyatt’s company at a low price, she wins. She doesn’t care if I’m dead or alive–she’ll simply do whatever benefits her the most in the moment.”

Luna was left speechless. People like Queenie never failed to astonish her. But the sheer malice of it all made Luna shudder just thinking about her.
