Chapter 81 Keep Digging
âI suspect Ms. Marsh might never have
left Capitole at all.
âTwo years ago, on August 15th, I found records of her staying at the Capitole Hotel for three days. But it was just her info, no one elseâs.â

Steven narrowed his eyes. âCould Diana be telling the truth?
Why did Queenie suddenly show up tonight?
Has she actually been in Capitole all
along?â

Steven said coldly, âKeep digging. We

need to know for sure if she was alone or
if someone was with her back then.â
Evan couldnât understand why they were investigating that schemer Queenie, but
he didnât dare ask.
âYes, Mr. Gellar. Iâll keep at it and let you know the moment I find anything.â
âGood!â Steven hung up and gazed out the window. Everything outside had returned to normal, and Diana had long since vanished without a trace.
He smiled enigmatically. âDiana, you
canât escape me.â

Steven stood by the window, a solitary
figure with a smug expression on his handsome face.

Suddenly, the image of the broken cup pieces sheâd thrown in the trash flashed through his mind. He shuddered and
headed downstairs.
He fished the shards out of the garbage and carefully placed them in a bag.
Rummaging through the cabinets, he camé across the coupleâs dinnerware set and some herbs sheâd meticulously prepared.
He jolted upright, taking in the emptiness

of the villa. A growing unease gnawed at
his chest.
His thoughts drifted to his first encounter
with Diana. Sheâd been a fireball
of passion, her eyes brimming with determination.
The way sheâd looked at him back then her gaze had been full of light.
But now, Diana wasâ¦

Diana arrived home by car.
She saw that Leopold and Tobias were
still up.

Walking over with a smile, she called out
cheerfully, âGrandpa, Tobias, Iâm back!â
Leopold let out a sigh of relief, seeing her return safely. âDiana, we were just discussing whether we should blast off on a rocket to rescue you.â
Diana smiled involuntarily. âGrandpa, at your age, you might want to skip the rocket and stick to riding tortoises.â
Leopold was speechless. This cheeky girl. Heâd been worried sick about her.
That bastard Stevenâs methods were
indeed brutal and vicious.

If he hadnât seen it with his own eyes, he
wouldnât have been so concerned.
In Capitole, few dared to cross Steven.
Tobiasâ face darkened. âDiana, whatâs gotten into Steven? Whyâd he suddenly drag you back home?â
Diana sat beside Tobias, linking her arm through his as she said, âTobias, heâs craving my cooking. Iâll go back to make him dinner and then return. In the future, donât worry when things like this happen. He might be a tough nut to crack, but
Iâm no pushover either. For the sake of keeping the peace, I wonât burn bridges with him.â

Thinking it over carefully, she realized
Stevenâs cruelty towards her stemmed from Queenieâs manipulations and his
lack of love for her.

An image flashed through her mind of Steven tenderly comforting Queenie in his arms, making her heart clench suddenly.
She reconsidered, thinking to herself that a clever woman knew when to bend and when to stand firm.
Until she became strong enough, she couldnât afford to butt heads with Steven directly.

Diana would snatch up all the resources Queenie had in her past life and make
her own.
In her previous life, sheâd become
helpless and alone for the sake of one
man. Now, with a second chance, she could still feel the protection of her grandfather and three brothers.
The feeling of being protected was truly blissful.
Tobias furrowed his brow, and his expression was sullen. âDiana, if he dares to push you around again, canât the four of us siblings join forces against Steven?â

He didnât want Diana to suffer any more
harm.
Diana smiled, playing with a lock of
her hair as she said, âTobias, thereâs
no need for a fight to the death with
him. We have other options that donât
require exposing our identities. From
what I know, there is another behind Queenie, and the person is particularly ambitious, always looking to swallow up all the prominent families. If we expose ourselves, weâll just become their target.
âSo, whatâs our next move?â Tobias
asked.
