Chapter 896 Knowing the Secret

Diana stared at Helen, confused. She couldn’t understand why she was saying these things to her.

“Grandma…”

“Diana, let me finish. Queenie has always been loyal to Andrew. If Steven treats you well, you won’t be safe.”

Diana froze, still trying to process her words.

Helen continued, her tone steady, “You’re smart, Diana. You should understand what I mean. When someone has someone they care about, it makes them vulnerable. You’ve been by his side for two years, and during his darkest moments, you helped him find his way out. How could he forget that? I raised my grandson. I know his nature better than anyone.”

It took a moment, but Diana finally understood the meaning behind Helen’s words. She was implying that Steven had treated her so harshly in the past to protect her.

It was too painful, and she could never forgive him for it.

“Diana, I know the damage has already been done, and nothing can undo the hurt. But until the truth is revealed, no one will know how it will all turn out. Maybe we’re all just pawns in

“Pawns?” Diana was shocked. Helen’s words were cryptic, leaving her even more confused.

In Jeff’s hands, she had indeed been a pawn, her role only to keep Steven away from Queenie. Now that Queenie had returned, Diana had stepped aside.

But in the eyes of others, who was she really a pawn for? The thought nagged at her, but she couldn’t figure it out.

“Diana, actually…” Helen leaned in, revealing something even more surprising.

When Diana heard it, she was left speechless, utterly stunned.

“Grandma, is that true?” she gasped, her eyes wide with disbelief.
