Shining Bright After Rebirth

Chapter 982 Paula Fooled Us All

Diana watched Paula's departing figure and smiled faintly. Letting go of hate was a kind of release. The anger that had weighed on her heart for so long had finally dissolved.

She truly didn't hate Paula anymore. The hate had only made her miserable, and she wanted to live a few more healthy, peaceful years.

Just then, Luna came hurrying back. Seeing that Diana was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Diana, are you okay?"

Diana was a little surprised. "Why are you asking me that?"

Luna frowned and explained, "While I was waiting outside, I got an alert on my phone. Someone smashed my car. I ran to the parking lot and found someone trying to steal my stuff. When they saw me coming, they ran. It was too cold to chase them, so I just called the police. I'm waiting for them to come deal with it now."

Diana immediately understood. "It was a diversion. Someone wanted you out of the way so they could eavesdrop on my conversation with Ms. Barnes."

"What?" Luna smacked her forehead, annoyed.

"I'm such an idiot. How did I not realize that?"

Diana spoke calmly. "It was Edison. He set this up on his own turf. It's understandable you didn't catch on right away."

Luna's anger flared. "That punk! How dare he? Following someone like Queenie will get him nowhere good."

Diana had long suspected Edison of betraying Steven and aligning himself with Queenie.

She kept her composure and said, "Let it go for now. Don't tip him off. We'll use this to our advantage."

Luna nodded, understanding. "Got it. I'll keep a close eye on that brat from now

on."

Diana gave a slight nod. "Good. Don't rush. The real show hasn't even started yet. This lifetime, I won't stop until I've taken down Queenie and that bastard."

She had never pretended to be a saint. Retribution was her creed.

Silently, she hoped Queenie could make her next move sooner.

A wicked grin spread across Diana's face.
