Chapter 970 To My New Life
Queenie stared at him, her anger boiling over. She was furious, feeling completely helpless. This was the crucial moment for her to rise to fame. With the recent buzz from her awardâwinning fashion design, everything after this should be smooth sailing.
Her name was starting to get out there, and she was just waiting for her big break.
She had originally planned to enter the piano competition for the exposure, to get a foot in the door of the entertainment industry.
But then, Dianaâs sudden loss of control threw off her plans.
As she thought back to everything that had happened, the flames of anger in her chest burned even hotter. She snapped her gaze back to George.
âGeorge, we can use a stunt double for the running and jumping scenes. Theyâll start shooting in a few days, and Iâve already contacted Zion. Butâ¦â
Queenieâs eyes locked onto George, her expression clouded with doubt. In her dream, Zion was exposedâhis female stars, many of them, had met untimely deaths. Some of them, their bodies were never found.
She could almost see the scenes play out in her mind.

She was willing to take a gamble. She needed to know if what she saw in that dream was real.
Zionâs secrets could be the key to it all.
âGeorge, we could take over Zionâs agency. Iâve already joined
his company, and Iâm going to look for an opportunity to see how they operate. Heâs a powerhouse in management, with tons of valuable partnerships. If we get his company, our plans will move forward much faster.â
She was determined to become the queen of business in Capitole, the one everyone envied. Nothingâno oneâcould stand in her way. She was going to be a thousand times better than Diana.
George blinked in surprise. âQueenie, heâs your agent now. How do you plan to take over his company?â
Her ambition had always far surpassed his.
âBesides, Zion holds a position in the entertainment industry that few can shake. Iâve done my researchâheâs got powerful backing. Taking his company wonât be easy.â
Queenie scoffed, âGeorge, if weâre playing this game, we might as well go all in. Why donât you have the guts I do? George, fortune favors the bold.â
George took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing as he glared at her. âQueenie, weâve been working on this for years, only for it to

all come crashing down. Now, with everything on the line, we have to be extremely careful.â

âThere are plenty of elites in Capitole, and even more influential families. Right now, weâve already pissed off the Farley and Foliot families. The business advantages are no longer on our side.
âAll future dealings need to be with people who truly have the skills. The elites youâve been quietly groomingâtheyâre going to have to step up and start working for you.â
A brief pause, then George added, âToo bad about Felicity. She had such a sharp mind for business. If only we could get her
outâ¦â
Queenie shook her head. âItâs impossible. We canât get her out. Cecilâs got the police department on lockdown. With him. watching, and the evidence stacked against her, thereâs no way to bail her out. Iâve already told her to focus on staying calm. Iâll make sure her brother takes over her position. She agreed, and
she wonât turn on us.â
âDamn it! If it werenât for her own greed, there could have been so much more waiting for her.â Georgeâs anger flared, his frustration clear. Everything had spiraled out of control, leaving him struggling to adjust to this new, chaotic reality.
He gritted his teeth, the sharp pain in his head almost unbearable, but he quickly forced himself to relax.
The thought of everything he lost when Steven was taken from

himânow, wearing Stevenâs face and living his life, yet still unable to get what he wantedâstung him deeply.
4/8
Every time he thought about it, his heart churned with rage and
resentment.
Queenie chuckled softly, âGeorge, itâs her own fault. But what I said earlier is true. As long as we get something on Zion, weâll
win.â
She leaned in close and whispered something in his ear.
Georgeâs eyes widened in shock. He leaned forward, his voice low with disbelief. âQueenie, are you serious?â
Queenie thought back to everything that had happened in her dream. She gave a slight nod. âItâs true.â
George was visibly excited, his mind racing. He didnât even seem to notice his dizziness as he grabbed his phone and made a quick call, instructing his people to investigate the matter.
Queenie let out a breath of relief. It was a glimmer of hope- perhaps fate was showing her some mercy after all.
After losing everything, she had seen what the future held in her dream. If she could seize the opportunity, she could still get everything she wanted.
But just the thought of Diana ruining her plans made her blood boil.

If it werenât for Dianaâs interference, the Farley family would already have been hers.
And Cecil⦠well, he was already out of the picture.
5/8
In her dream, after taking over the Farley family, she had sailed smoothly through the business world, ruthless and unstoppable, with countless enemies vanishing without a trace.
Paulaâs entire life had also been hers to control.
In the dream, her family of four lived in perfect happiness. Her mother had achieved her wealth dream, and there was no sign of Markâno sign that Noah wasnât her fatherâs biological son.
Queenie sighed softly. A beautiful dream, but ultimately just a dream.
When she woke up, the reality was nothing but a mess.
Thinking about that useless Noah only made her mood darker.
âQueenie, Iâm hungry,â George muttered, rubbing his stomach, which was starting to feel unsettled. He knew Queenie wasnât the type to cook, so he wasnât expecting much. He just needed something to settle his stomachâhe hated the gnawing sensation of hunger.
Queenie felt the hunger pangs too. âIâll have Mario bring us lunch,â she said.
George gave a faint nod, closing his eyes and murmuring,
аpter âMmâhmm.â

Queenie quickly texted Mario to have lunch delivered. As she sat there, her mind raced. The past day and night had given her a lot to think about.
She had a clearer vision of what needed to come next. The road ahead had to be approached carefully. No more falling into Dianaâs traps.
The next day, Diana went out to visit some friends. She first stopped by to see Cecil and Rita, with Samuel also there. Samuel had changed a lotâhe seemed much calmer now.
Diana only brought Luna along, and the two of them stayed for lunch. Everyone sat together, enjoying the meal. Rita was the happiest to see Diana, though her concern quickly surfaced when she noticed Diana was still in a wheelchair. âDiana, is everything okay with your leg?â
Diana smiled and reassured her, âMadam Farley, itâs nothing serious, just a broken bone. I just need some time to rest, but Iâll be fine. For now, I have to use a wheelchair when I go out.â
Cecil chuckled, âDiana, Queenie and Steven got beat up on Christmas Eve. Theyâre still in the hospital recovering.â
Samuel was there too, but he knew better than to spill any more details.

Diana had already heard about it, but she just smiled and said, âCecil, letâs not talk about Queenie today. Itâs a happy time, so letâs just enjoy the meal. This food tastes amazing!â
She really wasnât in the mood to hear Queenieâs name.
Cecil grinned broadly, âAlright, Diana, we wonât bring her up. Letâs raise a glass, celebrate new beginnings.â
Samuelâs voice was full of emotion as he looked at Diana with admiration. âDiana, if it werenât for you, I wouldâve spent Christmas rotting in a jail cell. Cecilâs rightâIâm a new man now. Diana, I owe you this toast. To my new life.â
