Chapter 904 The Fake Steven
1/7
Dianaâs enthusiasm evaporated in an instant. She stared at him, confused. âSteven, what are you even talking about? You know that agreement better than I do. Grandma mentioned it to me, but youâre the one who signed it. So why are you asking me this?â
Her eyes narrowed as she studied his face. He looked exactly like Steven, but something felt off.
His voice hadnât changed, yet the way he spoke was different.
A chill ran down her spine. Almost instinctively, she was certain that this man wasnât Steven.
When Steven was angry, he was cold and detached but never this hostile.
Her heart raced with shock, but she didnât let it show.
Instead, her gaze fell to his hands. They seemed identical to Stevenâs at first glance until she noticed the missing scar on his middle finger.
Her breath caught. Even the injuries didnât match. What should have been on his left hand was now on his right.
And then there were the bandages on his forehead. She knew for a fact that Steven hadnât injured his head.
the clearer it became. Steven had been

She shivered as an inexplicable fear crept over her, one that pulled her back to memories sheâd tried to bury.
In her last life, the man who had killed her wasnât Steven but this man.
Tears pricked her eyes as she stared at him.
Queenie, sensing the tension, casually shifted her position, stepping between them.
âSteven, the agreement is real,â she said in a soft voice, reminding him of what he should know.
His expression darkened as her words jogged his memory. âDiana, that agreement stated everything would be donated to orphanages. How could it have ended up with you?â

Diana met his gaze headâon, her confusion deepening. But she couldnât tip her hand just yet. âIs that what it said? I never read the contents. Youâre the one who signed it with Grandpa. Youâd know better than me.â
In truth, she had no idea what the agreement said. She only knew it existed because Helen had once mentioned it in passing.
Georgeâs eyes darkened further, his silence heavy with tension.
His gaze locked onto hers, sharp enough to cut, sending an involuntary shiver down her spine, which confirmed again that this man wasnât Steven.
She clenched her fists, willing her voice to steady. âWhat are you

staring at? Careful, or I might just poke your eyes out,â she quipped, raising her hand in mock threat. They were divorced now, and the money was in her hands. There was nothing to fear.
âDiana, youâ¦â
Before he could finish, Olivia stepped in front of her, blocking his path. âWhatâs your problem? Why are you yelling at her? If anyoneâs at fault here, itâs you! Youâre the one who signed that agreement. So why are you acting like she owes you an explanation?â
Georgeâs expression hardened, his fists clenching tightly. It felt like everything heâd worked for was slipping through his fingers.
Diana turned to Queenie with a faint smile. âQueenie, Steven, I hope the two of you are very happy together. Oh, and one more thing. About that baby you just aborted? Leviâs, wasnât it? You should really slow down. Your uterus isnât exactly in great shape.â
With that, she spun on her heel, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Olivia tugged her toward the door, leaving Queenie standing there, stunned into silence.
Queenie hadnât expected Diana to still have a trick up her sleeve, even after their divorce.
âQueenie.â Georgeâs cold voice cut through the silence like a blade. âWas that child really his?â
Chapter 98-
She spoke with confidence, sure that he wouldnât be able to verify anything.
But his icy gaze lingered. âDo you think I canât find out? Queenie, Iâve told you before. I married you because you understood me. I gave you freedom, but donât mistake that for indulgence. Know your limits.â
Her heart raced as she tried to maintain her composure. âGeorge, youâve had three women overseas. Did I ever complain? I swear, Iâve never done anything to betray you.â
Her voice quivered just enough to sound genuinely hurt. George sighed, his tone softening. âLetâs go. Weâll figure this out later. For now, itâs clear. That old man played us for fools.â
Georgeâs frustration was palpable. Heâd come back to claim everything that belonged to Steven, but now he was emptyâhanded.
Queenie clenched her fists in silent fury as they left, their faces dark with simmering anger.
As soon as Diana got into the car, the tears she had been holding back spilled over uncontrollably.
Olivia glanced at her, surprised. âDiana, whatâs going on? Werenât you overjoyed about the divorce? Why are you crying
now?â
Diana wanted to explain that the man she had confronted earlier wasnât actually Steven, but she was worried that revealing too much might put Olivia in danger.
Chapter 904 The Fake Steven happy. Thatâs all.â
Olivia sighed, shaking her head.
âAlright, alright. Enough crying. Letâs go home.â

As Olivia drove, Diana caught a glimpse of Queenie and George emerging from a restaurant, arm in arm.
Taking a shaky breath, Diana stared out of the window, her thoughts a tangled mess.
Something wasnât adding up, but she couldnât put her finger on
She didnât believe Steven and the man she had confronted earlier were twins. That explanation felt too farâfetched.
Closing her eyes, she tried to calm the storm inside her mind. A sudden thought struck her, and she snapped her eyes open, reaching for her phone to call Evan.
The line didnât go through.
Feeling uneasy, Diana thought of Helen. Turning to Olivia, she said decisively, âOlivia, itâs still early. Letâs go to the Gellar Manor. I want to check on the old lady.â
She was still worried about Helen. Although they had dealt with the butler earlier, there were still others lurking in the shadows.
Olivia smiled, trying to ease the tension. âSure, but relax. My gut tells me the old ladyâs fine. If anyoneâs in trouble, itâs probably you.â
Chapter 904 The Fake Steven dangerous the fake Steven truly was.
âIâll be fine,â Diana assured her. Wiping her tears away, she straightened up. This wasnât the time to wallow in fear or selfâpity.
Pulling out her phone, she sent a message to Luna, asking her to investigate the hospitalâs surveillance footage and find any information related to Steven.

She urged her to be cautious, emphasizing the potential danger.
When Luna replied to her, Diana finally relaxed a little.
Olivia, watching her from the corner of her eye, frowned slightly.
She couldnât shake the feeling that something was seriously
Wrong.
About forty minutes later, they arrived at the manor.
Before they could even step fully inside, Andrewâs furious voice rang out from the living room. âMom! Iâm your son, and Steven is your grandson. But you handed everything over to Diana? Do you even consider us family anymore?â
Diana paused in the doorway, her gaze snapping toward the commotion inside.
From where she stood, she could see Queenie, the fake Steven, and Andrew all gathered.
But what struck her most was the absence of Evan.

7/7
Helenâs voice was calm but carried a hint of steel as she addressed George. âSteven, when your grandfather asked you to sign that agreement years ago, you agreed without hesitation. So why are you and your father questioning me about it now?â
Her sharp eyes scanned George, lingering on him with growing doubt. She couldnât quite put her finger on it, but something about him felt off.
She had raised Steven herself and knew him better than anyone. Since his car accident, he had seemed different, like a stranger wearing her grandsonâs face. And now, she was beginning to suspect she might be right.
