Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 868

Chapter 868 He Saved Her

She suddenly turned on Diana, blaming her for everything. Janet was convinced that it was all because of this woman. She believed her plan would have succeeded today. Carolyn's stomach hurt because she had drugged the water, intending to kill both her and her baby.

"Sam, don't trust this woman! She's in cahoots with Carolyn! They're working together to swindle your money. You can't believe her!"

"The Young family raised me, and you've always been so good to me, Sam. Can you really bear to hurt me? Can you really let these people frame me like this?"

Janet's voice rose in fury. This woman had appeared out of nowhere and ruined all her plans.

The Young family had treated her so well that she had started believing her own act, thinking she was truly their daughter. That delusion drove her to covet everything the Young family had.

Diana frowned, her gaze fixed on Janet's venomous expression.

This was a classic case of biting the hand that fed you.

Sam let out a cold laugh, his eyes as frigid as ice.

Staring at her twisted face and recalling the evidence he had uncovered, his fury reached a breaking point. "Janet, you're shameless and selfish. You admitted it yourself just now, and I've found the proof. If it weren't for Ms. Bishop today, your plan would've worked."

"To kill Carolyn and her child, rob me of my heir, and wait for me to die in some 'accident'...did you really think you could take over everything the Young family owns?"

Janet froze, staring dumbly at Sam. She thought, "Does he have the evidence?"

"Carolyn's gone to look for her phone earlier but hadn't found it. Has Sam taken it before I could?"

Sam raised the phone and glared at her. "Janet, I've seen all the suggestive messages and photos you sent Carolyn. And the videos, too. So this is what you've been doing behind my back."

"In the shadows, you've done countless cruel things to Carolyn. You even teamed up with your friends to humiliate her. Carolyn came from a small town, worked her way up to Capitole, and fell in love with me. What did she ever do wrong? What did the Young family do wrong?"

"And you? You're the one who came from the countryside. Your parents died young, and my parents took you in out of pity. They raised you like their own, and this is who you've become? An ungrateful wolf? Your studies were abysmal, and all you cared about was indulging yourself."

"The Young family treated you like a lady, hoping you could rise above your circumstances. We gave you privileges most people can only dream of. But instead of cherishing it, you schemed to devour the entire Young family."

"Janet, you've disappointed me beyond words."

"So, as someone born in the mountains, where do you get the arrogance to say Carolyn isn't good enough for me?"

Sam's voice trembled with pain. He realized that this girl had indeed been spoiled by the Young family.

But that indulgence had ruined her, making her appear sweet and innocent in front of them while being vicious and reckless behind their backs.

Janet realized everything had been exposed. She collapsed onto the ground in terror.

She thought, "It is over. Completely over."

"The Young family will cast me out."

Her eyes shot to Diana, and she screamed with rage, "It's all because of you, you wretched woman! If you hadn't appeared, Carolyn and that bastard in her belly would've been dead! You ruined my plan!"

She suddenly leaped to her feet and lunged at Diana, shoving her with all her strength.

"Ms. Bishop, watch out!" Sam shouted in panic. Behind her was the staircase.

Diana lurched backward uncontrollably. She shut her eyes, bracing for the pain of tumbling down the stairs.

But instead of falling, she found herself enveloped in a warm embrace, held securely.

"Diana."

She heard Steven's deep, soothing voice.

Her eyes flew open, locking onto his worried, dark gaze.

"Why...why are you here?" she asked, startled.

Steven had come to find her for dinner. He suspected she hadn't eaten lunch, given everything that had happened that day.

He'd run into Tom, who mentioned Diana was here. Taking a detour through the staircase, he'd arrived just in time to catch her.
