Shining Bright After Rebirth

Chapter 987 Queenie Faces Universal Rejection Diana leaned back in her wheelchair, her laughter bubbling up cheerfully. "No, Grandpa, I just miss you! Hehe... No one dares to bully me. I'm quite capable, you know. And don't worry about anything happening here. I've got it all under control. I won't let you down.

"Besides, I'm really rich now," she added with a playful grin.

She silently vowed never to disappoint her grandfather again. This time, she would also ensure her three brothers were safe.

She understood that Queenie would surely retaliate like a cornered animal.

Paula's recent actions had driven her to desperation.

Diana also knew this was a race against time.

She couldn't give Queenie any chance to regroup.

At the moment, Queenie's main adversary was Zion. And Zion was no pushover.

It was going to be a fierce battle between the two. Diana found herself looking forward to seeing who would emerge victorious.

Leopold chuckled warmly. "Alright, sweet pea. But remember to stay safe. I'll finish up my business here as quickly as I can and cback to you.

"No one will ever dare lay a finger on my granddaughter." Diana smiled. "Well... Thanks, Grandpa. Bye!" After hanging up, she felt a lot better.

She realized that family was the greatest comfort of all.

Thinking back on Queenie's accusations, she began to suspect that she had wronged Steven over the stolen designs.

It hadn't occurred to her before that Queenie might have stolen the designs from her phone.

Steven had vehemently denied the accusation back then, but she hadn't believed him. Now, she realized she had made him experience the bitterness of not being trusted.

Still, she didn't dwell on Steven. He was probably somewhere receiving treatment by now.

Turning her attention to her computer, she focused on analyzing the stock market. The recent market trends weren't great, and after stime, she closed the laptop.

She picked up her phone and started scrolling through the day's news.

The headlines were filled with stories about Queenie, accompanied by a deluge of criticism.

One glance at the box office numbers for Queenie's movie told her everything she needed to know. It had already been pulled.

She chuckled softly. This was exactly the outcshe had hoped for.

That man had lost everything Steven had built. Back in the country, his hands were tied, and nothing cas easily as it had abroad.

His plan to elevate Queenie's stardom for a quick rise to power had completely collapsed after Paula's public stunt. Their dreams had shattered.

With a thoughtful pause, Diana sent a message to Luna.

[Luna, last March, I did a paternity test at Curave Hospital. I need you to investigate the doctors there and find out if anyone received a large sum of money around that time.] Luna, seeing the message, walked straight into Diana's office.

"Diana, what are you trying to investigate? Why were you doing a paternity test?" After a brief hesitation, Diana decided to reveal the truth. "Luna, Jeff isn't my biological father." Luna's eyes widened. Then, a moment later, she broke into a grin. "Diana, that's amazing news! I hope your real father turns out to be someone who loves you deeply." Diana let out a bitter laugh. "I've been stressing about this all morning. Someone tampered with the results to keepfrom finding out the truth. I need to know who. Helpinvestigate. I've sent you the hospital address and the date of the test." Luna nodded firmly. "Alright, Diana. There's nothing pressing this afternoon, so I'll head out to investigate now. I'll have Joseph bring up your lunch." Diana gave a small nod. "Thanks! Go ahead." With Nolan already back at the main office, it was just the two of them here.

As Luna left, Diana immersed herself in her work once more.

Meanwhile, Queenie had returned to her company, but an even bigger problem awaited her. Zion was there, waiting.

She knew her acting career was over. The inevitable clash with Zion was about to happen. But she had prepared for this.

As she stepped into the office, she was greeted by Zion's furious glare.

His eyes were icy cold, his frustration palpable. He had thought he had discovered a rare gem, but Queenie had brought him nothing but disappointment. Despair gripped him.

After all, the production was set to start in just a few days.

And now, at this critical juncture, Queenie's scandal had exploded, leading to her universal rejection online. "Queenie, just look at the mess you've created! You haven't even started shooting your first under our contract, and you're already embroiled in these scandals. How am I supposed to salvage this? You'll have to pay an enormous penalty for breaching the contract." The oppressive atmosphere in the office felt suffocating.

Queenie, already fuming and heartbroken, responded with a mocking smile as she faced Zion's anger.

"Zion, I know I'm finished. There's no point hiding anything from you now. You're not exactly a saint yourself. I've done my research. Quite a few actresses under your nhave. mysteriously disappeared, not to mention schildren tied to you who've gone missing. I won't be paying a din penalties. Dream on." Zion's face darkened, shock flickering across his features. He hadn't expected her to uncover these secrets.

He couldn't fathom how she had found out.

Striding forward, he revealed his true, sinister nature, his gaze sharp and menacing.

He slapped Queenie hard across the face.

Zion had never been a good man. Once their relationship soured, his cruelty quickly surfaced.

The slap left Queenie dizzy.

Mario, standing nearby, immediately intervened, kicking Zion to the ground.

Though Zion fell, he wasn't hurt. Looking up at Mario, he gave a cold, dismissive smirk.

"Queenie, you're done for. Those accusations of yours are baseless. If you dare spread any lies, you'd better watch your back." Queenie smirked coldly, her eyes flashing with murderous intent. At this moment, she appeared more demonic than Zion himself.

"Zion, do you really think you can outmatch me? Even if I leave the entertainment industry, have m significant influence and power in the business world. You may be a successful agent, but it's easy to pull someone like you off their pedestal. "I wasn't coming after you, but now that you've cto me, I'll make sure everything you've done is exposed." Zion froze, momentarily speechless.

Her laughter was chilling, like something straight from the depths of hell, sending shivers down his spine.

Though Zion was known for his ruthlessness, he faltered at the sound of Queenie's voice.

Seeing the flicker of fear and disbelief in his eyes, Queenie felt triumphant.

nie felt trium Against someone like Zion, she needed to be even more vicious. "Zion, I've already called the police. The moment you contacted me, I knew what you were planning. You wantedto pay a massive penalty. Well, I'll make sure your entire company becomes mine instead." This had been her plan for months.

She had gathered plenty of dirt on Zion and prepared meticulously.

Zion's eyes widened in disbelief. "Queenie, how did you find out all of this?" He was terrified. No one had ever uncovered his secrets before.

The evidence lay in his office, locked away in a safe.

The safe-held records of his organ trafficking operations and illicit earnings.

Queenie, seeing the shock in his eyes, chuckled softly. Tilting her head, she teased, MO Swift, why don't you take a wild guess?"
