Chapter 926 Taking Advantage of Her Kindness
1/7
Luna smiled, âDiana, Mr. Edward Gellar asks about you every three days. Sometimes, he asks about Steven and, occasionally, Mr. Powell. He really cares about your future.â
Diana raised an eyebrow, understanding his good intentions. âI understand what you mean, but this jewelry set is just too expensive.â
She knew better than to accept such a valuable gift without
reason.
Besides, when she first met Alexander, she had made it clear. This wasnât a matchmaking meeting but a collaboration.
Thinking about Alexander asking her about the details of her divorce certificate made her heart tighten.
Luna could see Dianaâs hesitation. Navigating such exchanges wasnât her forte either.
âDiana, just keep it for now. When the opportunity arises, you can return it to him.â
Diana said, âThatâs the only option. Remember to take it back. later and lock it in the safe. When thereâs a chance, weâll return it to him.

âIf he doesnât accept, then find out if he needs anything. We need to settle this favor.â
o
She disliked owing anyone anything.
She much preferred others owing her.
Luna chuckled, âAlright!â

A few minutes later, Nolan and Joseph walked in carrying bags.
It wasnât subtle. Nolan had a bag full of crabs in his hand.
Diana was speechless.
âNolan, just because I said I wanted crabs, you didnât need to bring an entire bag.â
Nolanâs handsome face was warm, like a spring breeze.
âDiana, there are four of us here. Whatever we donât finish now, we can have for a lateânight snack. Weâll be busy tonight.â
Hearing this, Diana perked up. âYouâre thoughtful as always. Exactly, a lateânight snack is essential. Before Christmas, we need to settle company matters. After dinner, letâs strategize against Queenie and Andrew.â
She turned to Joseph. âJoseph, sit down and eat. Youâve worked hard today!â

Joseph smiled and shook his head. Working here was exciting and fulfilling, and the best part was seeing Diana whenever he wanted. âDiana, itâs not hard work! I really enjoy it. It makes me happy.â
Dianaâs smile revealed her charm. âIâm glad youâre happy!â
The group sat down to eat.
Meanwhile, Steven had been silently watching Diana from his office.
She worked with meticulous precision, and by the afternoon, she had already stabilized numerous business partners.
Not only was her design talent exceptional, but she was also remarkably skilled in business!
And yet, Alexander had gifted her three billion dollarsâ worth of jewelry to celebrate her divorce.
Alexander had gone all out.
Steven sneered and thought, âAlexander, you want to take whatâs mine? Dream on.â
Evan entered with dinner and a paternity test report in his hand.
âMr. Gellar, itâs time for dinner.â
Chapter 926 Taking Advantage of Her Kind⦠Steven looked up from his phone, his gaze falling on an unfamiliar face, which made him uncomfortable.

Steven gestured at Evanâs face mask. âTake off that mask. I canât eat while looking at a stranger.â
Evan was speechless.
He placed the dinner on the table and handed Steven the paternity test results.
âMr. Gellar, do you want to look at this first?â
Steven glanced indifferently at the folder, not in any hurry. âLeave it there. Iâll look at it after dinner.â
Evan froze, thinking, âIsnât he anxious?â
Evan himself was incredibly impatient.
He placed the folder to the side and sat down, visibly upset. Earlier, he had witnessed something that left him deeply unsettled.
Noticing Evanâs mood, Steven asked, âWhatâs wrong? Why the sour face? You were only out to get food.â
Evan looked at him and said in a low voice, âWhen I went to meet the chairman, I saw Edison with him. He is investigating your personal affairs. It turns out heâs also working for the chairman.
Chapter 926 Taking Advantage of Her Kind⦠âMr. Gellar, heâs been betraying you.â
Steven wasnât surprised, as though he had long known of his betrayal.
Evan was shocked by Stevenâs lack of reaction. âMr. Gellar, arenât you upset?â
Steven handed Evan the cutlery before saying, âIâve known. about his disloyalty for a while. Thatâs why heâs only ever handled peripheral tasks. The only people I trust in the company are you, Dalton, and Diana.â

Evan was frustrated, staring at Stevenâs inscrutable face. âMr. Gellar, Diana hates you so much. Why do you trust her and give her everything?â
Steven took a bite of food before replying, âItâs simple. Deep down, Diana has feelings for me. When George appeared, she immediately recognized the difference between us.
âShe realized it was George who truly hurt her, which lessened her hatred for me. Out of her devotion to Grandma, she will fight to protect the Gellar Group.
âI lived with her for two years. I understand her character well. Sheâs incredibly kind.â
Evan was exasperated. âMr. Gellar, youâre taking advantage of Dianaâs kindness! You know she wonât retaliate against you, so you exploit her!â
Chapter 926 Taking Advantage of Her Kind⦠Steven smiled, âYou could say that. But Evan, apart from Grandpa and Grandma, Diana is the only person whoâs ever shown me favoritism. I canât let her go.
âBut sheâs also stubborn. Once she makes up her mind, she wonât change it unless a miracle happens.â

But a miracle had indeed occurred. Another man, George, who looked exactly like Steven.
âEvan, sheâs amazing. I donât deserve her.â
Evan was stunned by Stevenâs words.
Was this the same Steven he knew?
âMr. Gellar, now that youâve realized your mistakes, Diana will forgive you.â
Steven gave a bitter smile. âShe wonât. Even if she forgives me, sheâll never take me back.
âNo matter what I do, the damage Iâve caused canât be undone.
âAt the time, I donât even know what I was thinking. I knew Andrew was targeting Diana but still treated her poorly. Even when I knew Queenie was in the wrong, I refused to help Diana.
âI knew Queenie approached me with ulterior motives, but I still treated her well because of a misguided sense of gratitude.â
Chapter 926 Taking Advantage of Her Kind⦠And thatâs why Diana would never forgive him.
7/7
She might look back, but sheâd never turn back.
All she wanted now was to move forward.
Evan felt even more dejected. âMr. Gellar, you just need to try harder. Back then, you were afraid sheâd get hurt. Diana is smart. Sheâll understand your reasons. She worked so hard to take care of you when you were blind and unable to walk. You didnât let anyone else care for you.
âYou only let her get close to you. She has always taken good care of you. Mr. Gellar, you have feelings for Diana, but you hurt her because you feared sheâd suffer more.â
Steven took another bite of rice. The food was delicious, but he missed the food made by Diana. It was incomparable.
Seeing Evan on the verge of tears, Steven felt a pang of guilt. âWhat you said is true. I had feelings for her then, and thatâs why I kept her close. But Evan, I realized it too late. Do you understand?â
