Diana turned to face Queenie, meeting her gaze directly. After Steven had thrown her into the ocean, Queenie had fallen gravely ill.
She barely managed to recover after IV treatment. As soon as she could walk again, she rushed to find Steven.
As long as Evan was alive, Queenie felt there was nothing to fear.
Those two men would take the blame, and without evidence, Steven wouldnât target her.
When she arrived, she overheard Diana speaking. She even recorded it.
Queenie wouldnât let any opportunity slip by. She was determined to drag Diana into hell and emerge as the sole
winner.
Diana looked at her calmly. She couldnât understand how Queenie dared to say such things. âQueenie, Gale is not
only your halfâbrother but someone whoâs spoiled you since childhood. If you can hurt him, why canât I refuse to get involved with someone like him?â
âDiana, stop accusing me. I had nothing to do with what happened to Gale,â Queenie retorted defensively.
Deep down, she regretted not running Gale over completely.

further. Instead, she turned to Tom. âTom, letâs grab dinner. Iâm starving.â
Tom glanced at her pale face and gently ruffled her hair. âSure. My treat. Letâs eat something nice.â
Without sparing another glance at Steven or Queenie, Diana and Tom walked away.
Steven watched Dianaâs retreating figure, his lips pressed into a tight line.
Queenie was stunned. She hadnât expected the hospital director to be Dianaâs acquaintance.
âHow much is Diana hiding from us?â she wondered.
But there was no time to dwell on it. She turned to Steven. âSteven, about Evanâs kidnapping, I didnât mean for it to happen. Evan is fine now, and those two men have already turned themselves in. I never ordered them to take him.â Queenie had come to clarify this matter to Steven.
Stevenâs gaze turned cold as he finally looked at her. The icy aura he exuded made Queenie tremble.
âQueenie, I truly underestimated how vicious you could be.â
Queenie froze, panic flashing across her face. She knew Steven wasnât just angry; he was furious. âSteven, what do you mean by that? I was just retaliating after being bullied. How does that make me vicious?â
Her voice wavered as she spoke.

Steven chuckled faintly, but there was something menacing and ruthless in his smile.
âWhat do I mean? Queenie, Iâve indulged you again and again,
and every time, you repay me by hurting the people I care about.â
âI⦠Steven, Iâm sorry! About Evan, I truly didnât mean for it to happen. Paige keeps insulting me. I just couldnât take it anymore and wanted to teach her a lesson.â
Queenie hadnât expected Steven to find out about this.
Seeing his icy demeanor, she felt like she was losing her mind. She felt she was about to lose Steven.
âSteven, I realize I was wrong. I truly do.â
Queenie apologized anxiously.
Steven gestured toward Paigeâs hospital room. âThe person you need to apologize to is Paige. What good does apologizing to me
do?â
With that, Steven turned and walked away.
Queenieâs apologetic expression instantly twisted into one of venomous rage. âSteven, how dare you treat me like this? Do you think you can get away with showing me that attitude?â
A mocking voice interrupted her. âQueenie, your ability to switch faces so quickly is truly impressive. No wonder we all believed in your soâcalled kindness.â

She knew that if he was here, then he must have overheard Dianaâs earlier conversation.

âGale, you worthless cripple. Even Diana wonât save you. How do you have the nerve to keep living?
âSomeone as pathetic as you should just rot in hell.â
Gale let out a low chuckle. âYouâre right. Someone like me probably does belong in hell.
âBut Queenie, Iâll watch as you spiral into ruin. Iâll watch as you fall into hell yourself.
âDiana lives a life far more genuine and sincere than yours. At least she cared for us with an honest heart, unlike your shallow pretense of goodness..
âWhen that day comes, the day you hit rock bottom, Iâll throw a party to celebrate.â
âYouâ¦â Queenieâs face twisted with rage, but a sudden thought made her pause.
âYou came here to ask Diana to operate on you. Can she even perform surgery?â
Gale narrowed his eyes, suspicious of her intentions.
âWhether Diana can or not is none of your business,â he replied coldly.
Heâd already heard everything. Diana refusing to operate on him wasnât a surprise.

Now, he understood how foolish heâd been.
All he wanted was to recover, to take care of his mother and Diana. She m
might not need his care, but he still wanted to be a good brother.
âBack then, Diana warned me not to join the competition. I didnât listen, and thatâs why I ended up like this.
âEven if that man took the blame for you, Queenie, you can go on living as if nothing happened. But your good days are numbered. Your luck is running out fast.
âYouâll never meet a good end.â
Gale showed a mocking smile.
Queenieâs body trembled violently. She shook her head frantically. âNo, Gale. Youâll never live to see that day.â
Queenie turned and stormed into Paigeâs hospital room.
Paige was awake and chatting with Diana.
Before Diana left, she had promised to bring Paige dinner. When Queenie entered, Paige quickly texted Diana.
[Diana, Queenie is here.]
Diana replied promptly: [Youâre in the hospital. She wonât dare do anything. Donât be afraid.]
Paige looked at Queenie calmly. âWhy are you here, Queenie?â

Queenie walked over arrogantly and stood in front of her. âPaige, locking you in the storage room was just to teach you a lesson. I know I was wrong, and Iâll make it up to you. Anything you want, as long as you donât press charges.â
Paige chuckled bitterly at her words. âPressing charges and sending you to jail would be too easy. Rest assured, Iâll make sure you pay for everything youâve done to me, piece by piece.â
Queenie sneered at Paigeâs innocent and naive words. She couldnât fathom where Paige found the confidence to think she could fight back. âPaigeâ¦â
âSpeaking of today, the evidence is clear. Transfer one million dollars to my account, and Iâll consider this incident settled.â
Paige suddenly smiled brightly, cutting Queenie off.
Queenieâs face turned pale.
Queenie knew that she couldnât make a big deal out of it now. If her malicious side were known to the public, everything would be over.
Her perfect persona was no longer perfect.
âFine, Paige. Problems that can be solved with money arenât real problems. But honestly, youâre cheap. Just one million dollars?â
Paige wasnât offended. Her smile grew wider. âSince you put it that way, one million dollars do seem too little. Letâs make it 10 million dollars instead.â
