Shining Bright After Rebirth

Chapter 933 A Man’s Pride Is Worth Gold

Diana took a deep breath, her tone steady as she began. “Samuel, let me make something clear. Queenie’s target was never you. It was always your cousin, Cecil.

“You remember that banquet, don’t you? I broke Cecil’s hands to prove my innocence, and in the end, he believed me.

“He also figured out Queenie’s game. She staged Madam Gellar’s accident at the pool and used the chance to save her, earning her

At the time, Samuel hadn’t seen Queenie as anything but charming. He’d been caught in her web of promises.

But now? He’d been burned twice.

At twenty–four, he wasn’t ready to let her drag him down a third
