Chapter 256 The Scandal
1/4
On the eve of Queenie’s birthday celebration, as Steven flung the divorce papers at Diana, standing up for Queenie, he witnessed the rapid collapse and subsequent vanishing of love from Diana’s once adoring eyes.
Until that moment, he had been steadfast in his belief that Diana, who had always cherished him, would never leave his side.
Now, he finally understood that no one would wait for him or love him unconditionally forever.
Steven’s voice was hoarse and low as he commanded, “Keep looking into that man. We need to find out who he is, no matter what.”
Evan gazed at his inscrutable eyes and handsome features, momentarily unable to discern his thoughts. “Alright, Mr. Gellar. I’ve been handling the investigation personally.”

Evan made a move to depart, yet Steven fixed his eyes on the photographs where Diana’s smile beamed back at him.

She returned the extra 100 million dollars to Steven.

She was still in her diving gear. The delight was evident in her radiant smile.
Steven involuntarily smirked.
Away from his sight, she was radiantly happy.
Her lively smile was etched deeply in his heart.

Diana spent three days with Althea, who was overjoyed. When it was time to leave, Althea asked Diana to take a full cart of
seafood.
The day Diana returned, Alexander also came back.
Roy Powell, Alexander’s grandfather, frequently invited Leopold out for fun.
Diana was grateful to Roy for bringing joy to her grandfather every day.
She carefully selected two boxes of the finest seafood and sent them to Roy.
Roy and Leopold had not yet returned, so it was Alexander, looking exhausted from his trip, who greeted her.
Alexander had lost weight after being away for a few days.
His handsome face appeared even more chiseled.
With a smile, he took the seafood from Diana’s hands.
He lowered his eyes, gazing at her tenderly. “Diana, it’s so heavy, and you should have let me get it.”
