Jaceâs body tensed. âDiana, youâ¦â

Diana cut him off with a smile. âSir Foliot, even if youâre itching to blow your top, donât take it out on the innocent. Queenie was the one who introduced the woman to your son. Now, heâs in trouble, and you want me to take the fall?
âYouâre quite the master at shifting blame, arenât you?
âAnd letâs not forget, youâre not getting any younger. With your high blood pressure, you really shouldnât let your emotions get the best of you. A stroke could be lurking around the corner.â
But the Foliot family in this mess would surely benefit Queenic.
That crumbling enterprise would give her a headache if she took
it over.
Diana smiled sweetly at Jace, hiding a whirlwind of emotions beneath her calm exterior.
Queenie glared at Diana, thinking to herself, âWhatâs with this little vixen? How did she suddenly become so formidable?â
Just then, Jaceâs phone rang. It was his butler. He shot a glance at Diana before answering.
âHello?â
âSir Foliot, itâs bad news. The police are at your house

for exploiting female stars in the company. Sheâs also implicated you in several illegal activities. You need to get back here, now!â
âWhat?â Jaceâs mind raced in disbelief. He mused, âHow dare Nathanâs wife?â
Meanwhile, Queenie observed Jaceâs changing expression, and her mind raced with plans to acquire the Foliot Group.
With Nathanâs wife making her move, the timing was perfect.
Quickly, Queenie sent out a message.
A few minutes later, Felicity responded swiftly.
[Ms. Marsh, weâve been keeping a close eye on the Foliot family. The drop in Foliot Groupâs stock is unusual. Someoneâs orchestrating this.]
Queenie furrowed her brow, thinking, âWho could act so quickly against the Foliot Group? Theyâre moving faster than I am.
No way, Iâve been eyeing that group for too long. It has to be mine.â
Queenie replied: [Seize the opportunity to acquire Jaceâs subsidiaries.]
Felicity responded: [Yes, Ms. Marsh!]
After sending the message, she noticed Jace staggering back a few steps.
âSir Foliot.â Queenie feigned concern, knowing he couldnât

He slapped Queenie across the face. âQueenie, have I not treated you well enough? If it werenât for the comfort you provided in bed, I wouldnât be here backing you up today. But your ambition is out of control. You actually sent someone to get close to Nathanâs wife, gathering evidence to push her to report him. Is this how you repay me?â
The room fell silent, and everyone was stunned.
It dawned on them that Jace and Queenie had been involved in something so shady.
George remained expressionless. The woman who had entered Jaceâs room was someone else entirely.
Diana noticed Georgeâs lack of reaction, and a subtle unease crept into her mind.
Logically, he should be furious over such a scandal, yet he stood there, indifferent.
Diana hadnât revealed the nature of Jace and Queenieâs relationship. After all, she had no solid proof, just a video of them entering the room together and not coming out for a long
time.
Without concrete evidence, she could easily find herself on the receiving end of their wrath.
What surprised Diana was that Jace was the one to expose it.
Queenie, with a sly smile, retorted, âSir Foliot, what are you

about? Iâve never been the one to cater to your needs; thatâs always been Rebecca.â

âWhat?â Jace staggered back, shock written all over his face. âQueenie, did you plot against me? No wonder Iâve felt so groggy every time I wake up.â
Queenie shook her head, feigning innocence. âSir Foliot, I didnât scheme against you. You simply couldnât resist the allure of a younger woman. Should I be blamed for that?â
âQueenie, you⦠youâre shameless! I never thought my life would end up in ruins because of you.â Jace rolled his eyes in frustration.
In a voice low enough for just the two of them to hear, Queenie leaned closer. âSir Foliot, instead of wasting energy here arguing with me, you might want to get to a hospital. Rebecca has an STD, and after all those nights with her, youâre likely infected,
too.â
âAhâ¦â
Jace recoiled, disbelief etched across his face.
âQueenie, youâ¦â His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.
Diana sat there, stunned.
She shook her head slightly, thinking, âYou made your bed, and now lie in it!â
Jaceâs assistant rushed to get him to the hospital. Panic was

Queenie watched the chaotic scene unfold, and her heart was filled with resentment.
She mused, âWho reported Nathan?â

âDiana, was it you who reported Nathan?â Queenie demanded with sharp voice.
Diana shook her head. âNo, I donât meddle in other peopleâs business. Iâd rather not dirty my eyes with that.â
Queenie was left speechless.
Leones suddenly stood up, and anger flashed in his eyes. âMs. Marsh, youâre not even part of this company. What are you doing here stirring up trouble?â
Diana interjected, âMr. Flemming, hold on a second. Queenie and Mr. Gellar are just wasting their time. Due to certain circumstances, the Gellar Group has changed hands, and theyâve ended up with nothing. Now, theyâre trying to use Sir Foliot to sway the shareholders.
âSince heâs passed out, letâs move on to discussing company
matters.â
Queenie and George exchanged glances, and their faces
alternated between red and pale. They thought, âDamn Diana.â
She knew exactly how to rile them up while leaving them utterly powerless.
Leones squinted, scrutinizing Diana. If even Jace could faint from the pressure, then this calm, composed woman before him.

âMs. Bishop, I donât care who sits in your chair as long as they can make me money. Now, letâs talk about the companyâs future. But I think itâs time for the irrelevant parties to step aside.â
Diana replied, âMr. Flemming, rest assured. Even if they stay, they wonât be walking away with any company secrets. If Queenie insists on calling me illiterate, then let her see what a true genius looks like!â
She turned to Luna. âLuna, show them my diploma. Especially let Ms. Marsh see what a prodigy truly is!â
Luna beamed, and her smile was bright as she opened her laptop and projected the sercen behind Diana.
âHereâs a look at Dianaâs academic journey. She graduated from Raventiaâs top institution, Tosland University. By the age of 16, she had already completed all her college courses in record time, excelling in finance and design.
âLast year, she didnât stop there. She pursued multiple degrees. across various fields, making breakthroughs that shocked
everyone.
âHer company, Nova Investment, is highly regarded in Capitole. On top of that, she speaks eight languages.
âAs for the rest, everyone can gradually get to know them over time. For those who doubt, Iâve provided the schoolâs address and phone number. Feel free to call and verify.â
As Luna finished her speech, Queenie felt a burning shame wash over her.

She shook her head in disbelief, staring at the screen. âNo, thist canât be right. Thereâs no way Diana could be this exceptional!â
