Chapter 774 Steven Defends Her
1/4
This scenario had played out countless times before, and Diana believed tonightâs events were just another instance of Steven targeting her because of Queenie.
Steven finally grasped the depth of Dianaâs past helplessness.
The despair and hopelessness that came with being untrusted cut deep.`
Diana wiped away her tears. She felt utterly wretched. âI should have known better. Youâd seek revenge on me for the slightest scratch on Queenie, let alone her fainting. Iâm just unlucky to be caught between you two crazy people.â
Without even glancing at Steven, Diana muttered to herself, turned, packed her suitcase, and headed for the door.
Steven blocked her path. âWhere are you going at this hour?â
Diana shoved him aside. âNone of your business. I wonât let you bully me anymore.â
Her eyes burned with a deepâseated loathing.
Steven was at a loss. âDiana, why wonât you believe me? Youâre wrong about what happened tonight.â
âWrong about you? Steven, I saw it with my own eyes. You claim

Iâm wrong, but why were you here? Itâs too much of a coincidence that you just happened to be at my door, isnât it?â

Diana trembled with pain. She clenched her fists tightly, like a little lion out of control.
Steven felt a profound sorrow.
In the past, seeing her in distress only fueled his anger. He was perplexed, questioning why Diana, his wife, would choose to make things difficult for Queenie.
But he had been wrong. Diana hadnât fought or competed; Queenie had provoked her at every turn. They had witnessed Dianaâs angriest moments and misunderstood her entirely.
âIâll prove to you that tonight had nothing to do with me. As for Queenie, her life or death means nothing to me now. Iâll help you reclaim what sheâs taken from you.â
It was the first time Diana had heard Steven defend her like this, but she didnât believe he would help her against Queenie. âSave that for yourself. I wonât take it seriously.â
She left with the suitcase.
Steven watched her go, sensing that her departure would seal the misunderstanding between them forever.
He strode after her, taking her hand.
She struggled fiercely. âLet me go!â

Steven whispered, âCome with me. I donât want you to misunderstand me.â
Diana refused to go. Mimicking Stevenâs tone, she retorted,

âWhy should I listen to your explanation, Steven? I only believe what I see.â
Steven was stunned, staring at her intently. He had said those words to Diana countless times.
Holding onto Diana, he wouldnât let her leave. He instructed the bodyguards, âDrag those two men to the opposite room and beat them until they reveal the mastermind behind this.â
These bodyguards were all summoned by Steven.
The four bodyguards moved swiftly, lifting the men and dragging them to a nearby fire escape, where there was a lounge.
Steven pulled Diana along.
She sneered, âSteven, stop the act. Now that Iâve seen through you, are you going to use your tricks on me?â
Steven felt her intelligence was momentarily offline. âDiana, if they were my men, Iâd watch from the sidelines. These people werenât sent by me. I was at fault for letting the bodyguard hurt you before. I believed Queenieâs lies back then.â
Steven felt a pang of discomfort every time he thought about it. He didnât want to admit that he, a proud man, had been

âShut up, and donât you dare bring up the past,â Diana snapped. As she struggled to escape, she managed to say, âDo you think admitting you were wrong can just erase all the harm youâve inflicted on me?â
