Shining Bright After Rebirth (Diana and Steven) novel Chapter 970

Chapter 970 To My New Life

Queenie stared at him, her anger boiling over. She was furious, feeling completely helpless. This was the crucial moment for her to rise to fame. With the recent buzz from her award-winning fashion design, everything after this should be smooth sailing.

Her name was starting to get out there, and she was just waiting for her big break.

She had originally planned to enter the piano competition for the exposure, to get a foot in the door of the entertainment industry.

But then, Diana's sudden loss of control threw off her plans.

As she thought back to everything that had happened, the flames of anger in her chest burned even hotter. She snapped her gaze back to George.

"George, we can use a stunt double for the running and jumping scenes. They'll start shooting in a few days, and I've already contacted Zion. But..."

Queenie's eyes locked onto George, her expression clouded with doubt. In her dream, Zion was exposed—his female stars, many of them, had met untimely deaths. Some of them, their bodies were never found.

She could almost see the scenes play out in her mind.

She was willing to take a gamble. She needed to know if what she saw in that dream was real.

Zion's secrets could be the key to it all.

"George, we could take over Zion's agency. I've already joined his company, and I'm going to look for an opportunity to see how they operate. He's a powerhouse in management, with tons of valuable partnerships. If we get his company, our plans will move forward much faster."

She was determined to become the queen of business in Capitole, the one everyone envied. Nothing—no one—could stand in her way. She was going to be a thousand times better than Diana.

George blinked in surprise. "Queenie, he's your agent now. How do you plan to take over his company?"

Her ambition had always far surpassed his.

"Besides, Zion holds a position in the entertainment industry that few can shake. I've done my research—he's got powerful backing. Taking his company won't be easy."

Queenie scoffed, "George, if we're playing this game, we might as well go all in. Why don't you have the guts I do? George, fortune favors the bold."

George took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing as he glared at her. "Queenie, we've been working on this for years, only for it to all come crashing down. Now, with everything on the line, we have to be extremely careful."

"There are plenty of elites in Capitole, and even more influential families. Right now, we've already pissed off the Farley and Foliot families. The business advantages are no longer on our side.

"All future dealings need to be with people who truly have the skills. The elites you've been quietly grooming—they're going to have to step up and start working for you."

A brief pause, then George added, "Too bad about Felicity. She had such a sharp mind for business. If only we could get her out..."

Queenie shook her head. "It's impossible. We can't get her out. Cecil's got the police department on lockdown. With him watching, and the evidence stacked against her, there's no way to bail her out. I've already told her to focus on staying calm. I'll make sure her brother takes over her position. She agreed, and she won't turn on us."

"Damn it! If it weren't for her own greed, there could have been so much more waiting for her." George's anger flared, his frustration clear. Everything had spiraled out of control, leaving him struggling to adjust to this new, chaotic reality.

He gritted his teeth, the sharp pain in his head almost unbearable, but he quickly forced himself to relax.

The thought of everything he lost when Steven was taken from him—now, wearing Steven's face and living his life, yet still unable to get what he wanted—stung him deeply.

Every time he thought about it, his heart churned with rage and resentment.

Queenie chuckled softly, "George, it's her own fault. But what I said earlier is true. As long as we get something on Zion, we'll win."

She leaned in close and whispered something in his ear.
