Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 Nightmare 

1/4 

She put down her phone and went downstairs to have dinner. She hadn’t eaten anything at the banquet and was feeling very hungry. 

“Jeff, let’s see who ends up going crazy.” 

Amusement flashed in Paula’s 

eyes. 

Starting tonight, she was determined to make Jeff live in immense pain. 

When she reached the kitchen, a well–prepared dinner was already set on the table. 

She sat down to eat, thinking about the night’s events. Queenie was always scheming against her daughter, and now that she had climbed up to the Foliot family, she’d likely become even more arrogant. 

But managing the company had exhausted her, and her four sons were useless. 

She had to take it step by step. Only by securing the company could she protect her children. 

It didn’t matter if they were spoiled; she’d teach them one by 

one.

Even Gale, that fool, didn’t believe her. 

So, this is how it felt to not be trusted. 

Her daughter had endured so much, yet no one was willing to listen to even one word of explanation from her.

Now it was her turn. Her children’s distrust made her feel cold all over, with her heart aching sharply. 

“Queenie, you wretched woman, you made me lose my daughter. I will make you lose your whole family.” 

Paula’s eyes were filled with coldness. Halfway through her meal, Jeff returned.. 

“Paula, Paula, let me explain. Tonight wasn’t what it looked like,” Jeff said, looking guilty. 

He looked at Paula with a face full of guilt. “Paula, I was set up.” Sticking to denial was his best move. 

Paula’s cold eyes fixed on him indifferently. “Jeff, I never thought you’d be interested in women in that setting. You haven’t shown any interest in me lately. It’s because you’ve got a mistress outside.” 

Paula wasn’t angry or upset. After knowing she’d been deceived for over 20 years, she had cried her heart out for one night. Since then, discussing the matter hadn’t caused her any pain. 

Her gaze was so calm that it made Jeff panic.

“Paula, no, really, I didn’t. I was truly set up tonight. After entering, I smelled a faint floral scent, so I wanted to check it out. I didn’t know there would be a woman inside.”

“Even if you didn’t know, you were conscious. If you didn’t want to, you wouldn’t have been forced. Jeff, starting today, you’ll move to the opposite house. You’re filthy now.” 

He had been dirty for so many years, lingering around her. It was utterly disgusting. 

“Paula…” 

Paula looked at his slicked–back hair, greasy face. 

How had she endured this man for so many years? 

Perhaps it was because she had been lost in his sweet words. 

With her status, she had few friends, and regular men treated her only with respect.
