Chapter 886 Climb Higher
Steven insisted, âDiana, look at me.â
Diana didnât like being too close to him. His presence was overwhelming, and facing him made her nervous.
1/6
She avoided his gaze, keeping her head down. Her entire body was tense, instinctively rejecting his touch.
Steven said, âWhatâs wrong? Back then, when you took care of me, you even tried to seduce me. Now youâre acting like a coward?â
Diana was pissed off. âWho seduced you? Steven, donât talk nonsense. At that time, you couldnât take care of yourself, and Evan was busy at work. You had no one to help, so I helped you clean up and took care of you. And now you say I was seducing you?
âSteven, do you have a conscience?â
Steven smirked, âA conscience? Where would I get that from? My mother ignored me, and my father wanted me dead. Only my grandparents protected me. If it werenât for them, Iâd already be a corpse.â
âOh, is that so?â Diana sneered. âThen someone like you, so eager to stay alive, ends up giving his life away to others. Steven, Iâve never seen anyone as pathetic as you.â
Chapter 886 Climb Higher She pushed his hands away forcefully.
Steven, afraid of hurting her, didnât resist.
He sighed inwardly and decided to wail.
When that man showed up, things would become clear. He wouldnât need to explain.
2/6
Queenie had used that man to ruin the bond he once had with Diana.
Noticing her bad mood, Steven softened his tone. âDiana, lunch is still a while away. Iâm going out for a bit. If youâre bored, watch a movie.â
Diana waved dismissively, absorbed in watching her companyâs livestream. She was overjoyed at the rising sales figures.
Yearâend sales with a zeroâreturn rate kept her spirits high.
With great designs and quality, she was making money.
She said, âDo whatever you want. You donât need to tell me.â
Steven smiled helplessly.
Diana didnât even look at him, focusing on the sales and skus.
Steven left the house and went to the
garage.

After getting into his car, he called Evan.

âZora and her son have been arrested. Theyâre at the police station now. But she hasnât implicated Queenie, only admitting to her crimes.â
Steven said, âThatâs fine. Queenie still has her uses. Assign three reliable bodyguards to watch her and Mario closely. The man weâre waiting for is coming back. Weâve already picked up signs from Andrewâs communications.â
Evan replied, âUnderstood, Mr. Gellar. But Iâve received word that Queenie is heading toward the Gellar Manor now.â
Steven frowned. He couldnât let Queenie disrupt lunch today.
He replied, âGot it. Notify the overseas team to start the meeting.â
He opened his laptop to prepare for a critical international meeting.
The Gellar Manor still had Queenieâs people in it, so precautions were necessary.
Meanwhile, Diana watched the livestream for 20 minutes before switching to a popular variety show.
After another 20 minutes, she got up to stretch and walk around.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Thinking Steven had returned, she went to open the door.
But standing outside was Queenic.
Diana frowned.
Queenie sneered, revealing her true colors. âSurprised to see me?â
Diana shook her head. âNot really. Just disgusted.â
Queenieâs composed demeanor cracked. âYouâ¦â
âIf youâre here to see Zora, she and her son are at the police station. Youâll have to visit them there,â Diana said casually.
4/6
Queenie snapped, âWhy would I look for them? Their actions have nothing to do with me. Itâs almost Christmas, and I came to visit Helen.â
Diana glanced at the gift box in Queenieâs hands and sneered, âWhatâs in there this time? More slowâacting poison?â
Queenie was enraged and raised her hand to slap Diana.
But Diana was faster.
She slapped Queenie across the face.
Queenie cried out in pain, âDiana, you dare hit me?â

Diana said nonchalantly, âI already did. Why ask such a dumb question? Queenie, youâre regressing.â
âIâm here to see Steven. Where is he?â Queenie said, trying to push past her.
Diana blocked her way. âHere to tattle? Queenie, your true colors are already exposed. Do you think Steven will still side with you? How long are you going to lie to yourself?â
Given Stevenâs attitude at the hospital and what happened to Evan, he realized how vicious Queenie was.
It was good. Queenieâs actions would reveal her true colors to Steven.
Queenie smirked confidently, âDiana, no matter what happens, Steven will always love me. Youâll see.â
Diana didnât believe her for a second. Steven wasnât a fool. For the sake of his family, he wouldnât allow someone like Queenie to get away with her schemes.
She knew Stevenâs character well.
âQueenie,â Diana said firmly, âI believe you. He will side with you no matter what happens.
âBut as I said, crocodile tears wonât win you sympathy forever.
âYour fake kindness is meant to deceive and achieve your hidden
I
goals. But lies will be exposed, and your true colors will 1.

âYouâll see your pretense is meaningless. Youâll end up facing betrayal and contempt.â
âQueenie, you pretend to be gentle and kind, acting like you depend on others.
6/6
âBut youâre not like that. You donât want to rely on anyone. You just want to step on them to climb higher. Congratulations! You missed your step with Paula.â
Having lived again, she finally understood this.
Sometimes, she woke up at night thinking about this and called herself stupid. She was so foolish that she had to live again to see Queenieâs true nature.
Queenie trembled but sneered, âWhatâs wrong with wanting to climb higher? I use my methods to get what I want. Whatâs wrong with that?â
