Shining Bright After Rebirth

Chapter 931 You Were Foolish Enough

Diana’s smile widened as she watched Luna pacing like a restless

cat. Diana, on the other hand, was calm–unshakably so.

Paula and Gale hadn’t even played their hand yet.

Paula had safeguarded all her assets, but neither Jeff nor Queenie had noticed.

Their arrogance had blinded them completely.

Diana chuckled softly. “Luna, relax. You can’t rush these things. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a proper plan.

“I am a business prodigy. Do you honestly think Queenie knows something I don’t?

“Sure, Queenie’s smart. She knew Jace Foliot’s main company was already a sinking ship, so she went after the subsidiaries instead. As predicted, she’s taken them, but I’d bet my last dollar her liquid assets don’t top five hundred million dollars.

“After New Year’s, Luspus‘ big project will kick off. She’s betting on it to save her neck, but it’s a black hole–it’ll suck up billions of dollars and drag both her and that Mr. Gellar of hers down with it.

“So sit tight, kid. Let’s enjoy the show. Everything’s falling into place.”

Diana straightened in her chair, her tone casual but brimming with confidence. “Luna, you think those six subsidiaries are cash cows? Think again. Under Queenie, they won’t turn a profit for at least three years.

“The real nail in her coffin will be that land in Luspus. But with her mystery man backing her, we need to dig deeper into his finances. Figure out his identity as soon as possible.”

Luna hesitated, a flicker of uncertainty crossing her face. “Diana, I did some digging today. He’s a dead ringer for Mr. Gellar, but we couldn’t find his name. We only know his last name is Gellar. Beyond that, nothing.”

Diana’s sharp eyes narrowed. “Amateur work, Luna. Fine, we’ll call him Mr. Gellar for now. Track his flight records; that’ll give us a starting point. Check the airport surveillance while you’re at it–you’re more than capable.

“And Luna, sometimes you have to learn from Queenie. The art of playing dumb can be a powerful weapon.”

Luna scowled, crossing her arms. “No way, Diana. Queenie’s tricks are disgusting. I’m not stooping to her level.”

Diana sighed dramatically. “Oh, don’t be so literal! I’m not telling you to be her. I’m saying there’s a time and place for playing dumb, and this is one of those times. Stay out of Queenie’s business for now. The New Year’s around the corner,
