Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 917

Chapter 917 This Can’t Be Right 

Jace’s body tensed. “Diana, you…” 

Diana cut him off with a smile. “Sir Foliot, even if you’re itching to blow your top, don’t take it out on the innocent. Queenie was the one who introduced the woman to your son. Now, he’s in trouble, and you want me to take the fall? 

“You’re quite the master at shifting blame, aren’t you? 

“And let’s not forget, you’re not getting any younger. With your high blood pressure, you really shouldn’t let your emotions get the best of you. A stroke could be lurking around the corner.” 

But the Foliot family in this mess would surely benefit Queenic. 

That crumbling enterprise would give her a headache if she took it over. 

Diana smiled sweetly at Jace, hiding a whirlwind of emotions beneath her calm exterior. 

Queenie glared at Diana, thinking to herself, “What’s with this little vixen? How did she suddenly become so formidable?” 

Just then, Jace’s phone rang. It was his butler. He shot a glance at Diana before answering. 

“Hello?” 

“Sir Foliot, it’s bad news. The police are at your house for exploiting female stars in the company. She’s also implicated you in several illegal activities. You need to get back here, now!” 

“What?” Jace’s mind raced in disbelief. He mused, “How dare Nathan’s wife?” 

Meanwhile, Queenie observed Jace’s changing expression, and her mind raced with plans to acquire the Foliot Group. 

With Nathan’s wife making her move, the timing was perfect. 

Quickly, Queenie sent out a message. 

A few minutes later, Felicity responded swiftly. 

[Ms. Marsh, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the Foliot family. The drop in Foliot Group’s stock is unusual. Someone’s orchestrating this.] 

Queenie furrowed her brow, thinking, “Who could act so quickly against the Foliot Group? They’re moving faster than I am. 

No way, I’ve been eyeing that group for too long. It has to be mine.” 

Queenie replied: [Seize the opportunity to acquire Jace’s subsidiaries.] 

Felicity responded: [Yes, Ms. Marsh!] 

After sending the message, she noticed Jace staggering back a few steps. 

“Sir Foliot.” Queenie feigned concern, knowing he couldn’t 

 Jace, furious, shoved her away. 

He slapped Queenie across the face. “Queenie, have I not treated you well enough? If it weren’t for the comfort you provided in bed, I wouldn’t be here backing you up today. But your ambition is out of control. You actually sent someone to get close to Nathan’s wife, gathering evidence to push her to report him. Is this how you repay me?” 

The room fell silent, and everyone was stunned. 

It dawned on them that Jace and Queenie had been involved in something so shady. 

George remained expressionless. The woman who had entered Jace’s room was someone else entirely. 

Diana noticed George’s lack of reaction, and a subtle unease crept into her mind. 

Logically, he should be furious over such a scandal, yet he stood there, indifferent. 

Diana hadn’t revealed the nature of Jace and Queenie’s relationship. After all, she had no solid proof, just a video of them entering the room together and not coming out for a long time. 

Without concrete evidence, she could easily find herself on the receiving end of their wrath. 

What surprised Diana was that Jace was the one to expose it. 

Queenie, with a sly smile, retorted, “Sir Foliot, what are you 

about? I’ve never been the one to cater to your needs; that’s always been Rebecca.” 

“What?” Jace staggered back, shock written all over his face. “Queenie, did you plot against me? No wonder I’ve felt so groggy every time I wake up.” 

Queenie shook her head, feigning innocence. “Sir Foliot, I didn’t scheme against you. You simply couldn’t resist the allure of a younger woman. Should I be blamed for that?” 

“Queenie, you… you’re shameless! I never thought my life would end up in ruins because of you.” Jace rolled his eyes in frustration. 

Jace’s assistant rushed to get him to the hospital. Panic was 

She mused, “Who reported Nathan?”
