Chapter 815 Spreading Lies
The same friendly officer from before was on the line.
âItâs me,â Diana answered.

âWe need you to come down to the station, Ms. Bishop. The Foliot family has provided us with what they claim is substantial evidence, and, well, theyâve gone public with it. Things are getting a little heated online. You should probably be careful. We can send someone to pick you up. Could you give me your current address? We werenât able to reach anyone at the one you previously provided.â
The officerâs calm tone suggested he was confident Diana wouldnât try to run.
Diana replied calmly, âThereâs no need to tie up police resources. Iâll drive myself over. Iâll be there in ten minutes. Donât worry. Iâm not running. I want to clear this up, properly.â
âSounds good. We appreciate that. Weâre all waiting for you here.â
Diana hung up and glanced at the news alerts on her phone.

Samuel was also seizing this opportunity to attack her. It was certainly absurd.
She texted Luna, asking her to come and drive her to the station.
Almost immediately, her phone rang. It was Cecil. âHello?â Diana answered.
âDiana! Are the Foliot family ever going to give it a rest? You were with me, at my house, the day Mrs. Foliot died! Steven was there, too! These people are insane! Spreading lies like this. I just want to tear them apart!â
Diana smiled. âItâs okay. Iâve got this. Donât worry about it.â
Cecil complained, âItâs just ridiculous! Itâs freezing out, snowing even, and they canât even let that stop them from stirring up drama.â
Diana chuckled. âI know. Cecil, Iâm heading to the police station now. Iâll call you later.â
âDiana, let me come with you. Iâll testify. You were at my place that night. Steven didnât want to get involved, but my grandmother and I will back you up. We even have security footage. They canât arrest you.â
Diana knew the Foliot family couldnât actually harm her. âCecil, trust me. I can handle this. I gotta go now.â
Downstairs, she found Steven hadnât left for work yet.
âDiana, the Foliot family is at it again. Iâ¦â

Diana interrupted with a smile, âSteven, I told you before, I donât need your help. I can deal with this myself.â
âButâ¦â
âNo. Iâve got this. I donât want you to get involved. Iâm going now. You should head to work.â
She turned to leave.
Steven started to follow, but she stopped and looked back at him.

I le raised an eyebrow, bracing himself for another rejection.
Instead, she smiled. âMr. Gellar, since you know someoneâs pulling Queenieâs strings, you should keep your distance from me. If Queenie thinks that youâre still interested in her and that you can be of use to her, whoeverâs behind this will eventually slip up. We need to draw them out. Donât you agree?â
Steven looked at her with a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. He reached out, gently stroking her delicate face. His touch was possessive.
A wicked smile played on his lips. His voice was low and seductive, âDiana, do you really think I need to play games with Queenie to expose whoever is behind this?â
He hadnât confronted Queenie because he still had questions he needed answered.
The woman heâd once cared for had turned out to be a liar. Did Queenie really think he would let her off that easily?
