Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 960

Chapter 960 Spilling the Beans

Mario was left speechless. He quickly tried to clarify. “Mr. Hastings, I think there’s been a misunderstanding. I never reported your uncle. We’ve had a good relationship with him. He’s the one who’s introduced many of our top graduates. Why would we turn on him?

“Sure, he did get drunk last night and try to take advantage of one of the students, but she managed to escape. Could she be the one who reported him?”

Mario couldn’t think of anyone else who could have reported Brandon except for Kara.

Yanson’s voice came through, dripping with sarcasm. “Mario, do you really think this makes any sense?”

Mario’s frustration grew. He had no idea who’d reported Brandon, but he didn’t like being blamed without proof. “Mr. Hastings, I’m not joking about something like this. Ms. Marsh was attacked today, and we’re still at the hospital. She’s still concerned about Mr. Brandon Hastings‘ students. How could we report him?”

Yanson didn’t respond and just hung up the phone.

When Queenie heard about Brandon, her face went pale. Everything was falling apart today.

Mario lowered his voice. “Ms. Marsh, Brandon was reported. He’s been trying to take advantage of his students for a while, but I didn’t expect someone to report it.

“Yanson said it was us who reported him and then just hung up.”

Mario felt it had to be Kara because her attitude last night had been way too extreme.

“Useless!” Queenie snapped, her voice sharp. “I told you to get Kara to sign the contract. How could you mess up something so simple?”

Mario hung his head, acknowledging his mistake, but his mind was still on who could have reported Brandon.

Queenie shot him a look. “Didn’t you go to Kara’s school?”

Mario shook his head. “No. I called one of her friends, and apparently, she didn’t even go back to her dorm last night.”

Queenie thought for a moment. It was Christmas, so maybe Kara had gone home.

“I see. Mario, go take care of the hospital paperwork.”

Mario noticed her mood had improved, so he went downstairs to handle the necessary paperwork.

After she left, Queenie looked at George, lying in bed. His face was so bruised that she could barely recognize him.

Her heart clenched. Mario had bought her an electric

wheelchair, so she powered it up and wheeled herself over to George. She took his hand gently, speaking softly. “George, don’t worry. I’ll make sure we get our revenge.”

She held his hand tightly, her voice trembling. “You have to wake up soon. Seeing you like this breaks my heart.”

She muttered to herself, unable to shake the fury building inside her.

Every time she remembered those two men insulting George, calling him worthless, she wanted to make them pay.

Her mind turned to Diana, the hatred in her eyes burning. If her Christmas had been ruined, she wasn’t about to let anyone else have a peaceful one.

She remembered last year Paula would personally design custom dresses for her, take her to exclusive events, and introduce her to powerful people in business.

Her brothers would spoil her, buy her gifts and take care of her.

But this year, everything had changed. She had nothing, no beautiful dresses, no mother’s love, no lavish parties, no family warmth.

Her leg broken on this Christmas day felt like a final blow. At that moment, it felt like she’d fallen from the highest point to the lowest. The weight of the difference was almost too much to bear.
