Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 867

Chapter 867 Retaliation

Sam stood in the snow, begging for a doctor. Diana happened to pass by, introduced herself as a doctor, and successfully saved Sam's wife and child. Both mother and baby were safe.

This incident quickly spread online, making headlines and overshadowing Queenie's recent award buzz.

Queenie, who had orchestrated a car accident to prevent Diana from taking Paige to the hospital, hadn't anticipated that her actions would backfire.

Instead of stopping Diana, the event catapulted her into fame as the most admired doctor.

At that moment, Queenie was lying in a hospital bed, weakened by the icy seawater and receiving IV fluids.

Steven addressed Diana, his tone heavy. "Diana, there's no need for further investigation. This was Queenie's doing. She also orchestrated the attack on Ms. Sutton. Evan stumbled upon her accomplices in the parking garage. They panicked, kidnapped him, and tried to silence him for good."

Diana drew in a sharp breath. The only reason Queenie dared to commit such blatant acts of kidnapping and murder was because Steven indulged her without limits.

She let out a cold laugh. "So? Are you telling me this because you want Paige to forgive Queenie's crimes?"

Steven let out a sarcastic laugh. He knew that at this point, no matter what he said, Diana wouldn't believe him.

"Diana, I've already explained about the design plans. I never gave them to her. As for today's events, I won't let her off easily. But it's not as simple as we'd like. She has powerful backers. Besides, she was with me at the time and can deny everything. The men who took Evan will bear all the blame."

Diana stared at him in silence.

"But the suffering Paige endured..." she thought.

Before she could speak, Steven's voice dropped. "I already made her experience what it feels like to be tossed into the sea. The pain Paige went through...I made Queenie go through it too."

Diana said nothing. She turned to Luna. "Luna, you just took your medication. Rest for a bit."

Luna nodded. "Okay, Diana. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

"Good." Diana left the room.

Steven followed her out, stopping her in an empty corridor.

She frowned as he blocked her path. "Mr. Gellar, do you still have something to say?"

"Is Ms. Sutton alright?" Steven asked.

Diana shook her head. "She's fine. She's sick from the cold and on an IV."

Steven relaxed slightly. That vile woman, Queenie, truly had no limits.

The two stood in awkward silence until Steven spoke first.

"Diana..." he said.

But her frosty gaze made him swallow his words.

"I have things to do," Diana said.

"I'll wait for you to go back together," Steven offered.

Diana shook her head. "There's no need..."

She almost added that she would never return to his place, but the memory of Tobias' warm smile stopped her.

"You go on ahead. Don't wait for me. As for Queenie, I know you're shielding her. I can't touch her now, but one day, I'll watch both of you fall into hell together."

She believed the wicked always faced their reckoning.

Diana didn't believe someone as malicious as Queenie would live a long and happy life.

She raised a clenched fist toward Steven.

Steven couldn't help but chuckle, but a deep sadness lingered in his heart.

The girl who once looked at him with nothing but love, the one who had risked her life to save him, now wished him dead.
