Chapter 979 I Wish You Two Stay Together Forever
1/7
Paula knew this wasnât the right place for a conversation. She needed a quiet space to share the secret with Diana. She feared that she might never have another chance.
âDiana, letâs find somewhere quiet to talk. Iâll tell you why I disliked you in the past. Iâll tell you the truth,â Paula said.
Diana wasnât sure whether to believe her. She thought that if Paula truly had some hidden reason, she should have said it earlier instead of waiting until now.
But when she saw the earnest look in Paulaâs eyes, she eventually nodded and asked Luna to take them to the lounge.
âLuna, take us to the lounge.â
âSure, Diana,â Luna replied.
Paula handed over a gift bag. âDiana, this is your Christmas gift.â
Diana froze for a moment, startled. Paula had never given her a Christmas gift. Every year, Paula would prepare gowns worth millions of dollars for Queenie, spoiling her like a princess.
If this had been in the past, Diana might have been overjoyed.
Chapter 979 I Wish You Two Stay Together⦠But now, she felt nothing.
In the past, Paula always went out of her way to be warm and affectionate with Queenie in front of her.
Sheâd organize everything for Queenie.

The table at their home was always filled with delicate pastries and fruits that Queenie loved.
Sheâd gently ask Queenie about her sleep, worrying whether she had nightmares.
And whenever she said these things, she would glance at Diana on purpose. At those moments, Diana felt her heart was torn apart. She had grown up without a mother, so she yearned for Paulaâs love more than anything else. She would comfort herself, thinking that as long as she was good enough, her mother would surely love her.
Now, she realized her persistence was just a joke.
After all, someone who didnât want to love her, no matter what she did, would never love her.
Now, this love meant nothing to her.
She looked at Paula coldly. âYou donât have to prepare gowns for me anymore. Thereâs no need for that between us.
Paula had anticipated rejection but still felt a pang of hurt when it came. She knew this was her own fault.

âIf you have something to say, just say it. The past is over. Weâve both accepted it, so letâs leave it behind.â
Diana interrupted, her voice calm yet firm. She had no desire to revisit old wounds.
Paula looked at Dianaâs composed face, hesitated, but ultimately said nothing more.
Just as the three were heading to the lounge, a furious voice rang out behind them. âDiana, stop right there!â
Diana gestured for Luna to stop pushing her wheelchair.
Luna looked at Queenie with a flash of hostility in her eyes.
However, when she saw that Queenie was also in a wheelchair, she couldnât help but laugh.
Mario wheeled Queenie into the room. Diana glanced at her rival, a smirk playing on her lips. âQueenie, I heard you got beaten up on Christmas Eve. Seems the rumor was true. What happened to your leg? Crippled now?â
Queenie had marched in, ready to confront Diana, but before she could say a word, Diana brought up that humiliating night. Her Christmas had been utterly ruined.
She opened her mouth to lash out but froze when she noticed
Chapter 979 I Wish You Two Stay Together⦠4/7 Paula standing there with a gift bag.
The brand on the bag was a top luxury label. Every year, Paula had bought Queenie gowns from that brand, while Diana received something cheap and unimpressive. Yet this time, Paula had chosen Diana instead.
Jealousy burned in Queenieâs eyes. âPaula, you used to buy me these kinds of dresses. The ones you give Diana are just cheap. online finds. Now youâre splurging on her? Do you think she appreciates it?â
She looked at Paula pleadingly. âMom, as long as youâre good to me, youâll always be my mom.â
After everything she had been through, Queenie finally understood that Paula was the ideal mother for her.
Paulaâs gaze turned icy. âQueenie, are you delusional?
âSpending over twenty years spoiling a vile woman like you was the biggest mistake of my life.â
Paula looked at her coldly. âYou really have no shame. Whether itâs family or love, youâre always pushing further, taking more than you deserve.â
She thought back to how good she had been to Queenie, and at wave of regret washed over her.
She had hurt her beautiful and talented biological daughter to pamper Queenie, and she would never forgive herself for that.

Diana snorted, unimpressed by Queenieâs provocation. Shee knew Quezonite was deliberately twisting the knife in Paulaâss heart. The mure Paula had favored Queenie in the past, the more paimslie feltnow.

âQueenie, youâve offended so many pumpile in secret. Remember the Foliot family? No matter how mutfillesssyou are, youâre no match for them.â
Chapter 979 I Wish You Two Stay Together⦠6/7 Queenie scoffed, unconcerned. âThe Foliots? Theyâre nothing. What can they do to me? Diana, if youâve got the guts, come at me directly. Letâs fight faceâtoâface.â
Diana blinked in surprise and chuckled. âQueenie, you finally said something with a bit of dignity. If you really came at me openly, I might not win. But I can also take a page out of your book. All I care about is the result. The process? Not so much.â
Queenie clenched her fists, her fury barely contained. She took a deep breath to steady herself. âDiana, I hate you more than anything. Iâll make you suffer. Steven and I are getting engaged. soon. Isnât he the man you love most? Well, heâs mine now.â
She stared at Diana, hoping to see her break down in pain. But to her surprise, Diana simply smiled, calm and unaffected.
Diana knew exactly what Queenie wanted to see.
But now that she knew the truth, it didnât matter who Queenie married.
She smiled and said, âQueenie, heâs the man youâve coveted your entire life. Only you would think heâs a treasure. I wish you two stay together forever.â
Queenie froze, stunned. Steven had been her trump card, her surest weapon to hurt Diana. She knew how deeply Diana had once loved him.
But Diana remained composed, her face free of sorrow.
