Chapter 794 Refusing His Offer
1/3
Diana eyed Steven with curiosity. âWhat kind of cooperation are you talking about?â
Steven leaned in closer, a smirk playing on his lips. âQueenie. doesnât care about me. Sheâs just using me. If we get back
together, it would definitely drive her crazy, donât you think?â
Dianaâs eyes widened in surprise. âSteven, when did you figure this out?â
The revelation caught her off guard.
She couldnât believe that he had seen through Queenieâs schemes.
Although she didnât fully trust him, the idea of getting under Queenieâs skin was enticing.
âGetting back at her does sound satisfying, but Iâm not keen on stepping into your mess. For my own sake, I think Iâll pass on the partnership.â
She was wary of teaming up with him.
If he decided to side with Queenie again, she could end up in serious trouble.
âYou donât trust me?â His voice
urned serious, frustration
evident.

âAnd if Amelie finds out what happened tonight, itâll look like you sold me out.â
Steven was exasperated. It seemed she would never let her guard down.

âTrust me this time. Iâll stand by you, no more disappointments. As your husband, Iâm committed to believing in you.â
Diana felt a jolt of unease at his words. Something felt off.
âNo, thatâs not necessary. I can handle my own issues. If you want something, just say it directly. Iâm not playing your games anymore. Youâve used those tricks too often, forcing me to apologize or taking things I care about. If you want something, just ask. No more schemes.â
Her expression turned pale, the anxiety clear in her eyes.
She was genuinely afraid of Stevenâs intentions and knew she wasnât ready to confront him just yet.
Waiting for a better moment felt safer.
He studied her, recognizing her reluctance to trust him. It hurt more than he expected to see her so distant.
After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath, feeling an ache in his chest.
âIâm going to the restroom. Think over my proposal while Iâm gone. I hope youâll give me a clear answer when I get back.â

He rose, his posture tall, and headed toward the restroom, leaving Diana lost in thought.
3/3
She couldnât muster the energy to consider his offer. The longer it took, the more she sensed he would become relentless. Anyone who crossed his path didnât end up well.
It puzzled her how he had transformed so completely.
In her last life, he was already married to Queenie. Why was he still being so malicious?
Queenie was a master manipulator, fooling everyone to become the richest woman in Capitole.
But this time, luck wasnât on her side. She had parents who dragged her down.
Despite her cruel nature, Queenie was truly devoted to her parents. She was willing to sacrifice having a loving mother like Paula just to ensure her mother could be recognized as Jeffâs legitimate wife and to avoid being labeled as an illegitimate
child.
It was tragic that she had never known the warmth of a mother, never experienced the love that came with it.
Returning to Paula, she had always been deprived of maternal
affection.
