The night was beautiful, yet Steven felt an unsettling restlessness gnawing at him from within.
He loosened the top button of his shirt, exposing his chiseled collarbone to the cool autumn breeze.

As Steven gazed out at the vibrant city lights, his mind drifted to that man-
n–the one who seemed to lurk just out of sight, stirring up an increasing storm of anxiety in his heart.
And then there was Diana’s distrust, which only fueled his agitation.
Steven asked, his voice tight with concern, “Evan, do you think that man could have hurt Diana when I wasn’t around?”
Evan’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. “Mr. Gellar, that’s hard to say. We still don’t know who this guy is, and Ms. Bishop is being pretty tight–lipped about it.”
A flicker of sympathy crossed Evan’s face. It seemed like Steven was finally coming to terms with the reality of his situation.
Meanwhile, Diana arrived home and received a message from Olivia saying she wouldn’t be back tonight.
Diana quickly typed back: [Olivia, stay safe out there.]

In her previous life, Olivia was safe and sound; however, she did spend some time abroad. Diana, who was inseparable from Steven, never found out about Olivia’s circumstances.
Meanwhile, the Marsh family had no knowledge of Olivia, so naturally, she knew little about Olivia.
Olivia replied: [Don’t worry about me. Just making some cash.]
Diana couldn’t help but smile at that.
With Tobias and Leopold still out, she flicked on the lights in her room, grabbed some clothes, and headed for the bathroom to shower.
After freshening up, she slipped into a white silk loungewear set and made her way to the study.
Sitting at her desk, Diana pulled out her notebook and began sketching a relationship map regarding Queenie’s next moves.
She mused, “Harry’s in prison now; so what’s next? Where’s that boy?”
In front of the Marsh family and Steven, Queenie played the part of a delicate flower, but if she hadn’t been given a second chance at life, Diana wouldn’t have realized just how formidable Queenie truly was.
A straight–A student, a perennial winner of piano competitions, and a sensation at university parties–she was a force to be reckoned with.

Queenie was also savvy in finance and had even started her own
company.
Paula had groomed her well, and with the resources at her disposal, Queenie was on track to become a top–tier millionaire -rivaling Alexander in every way.
Meanwhile, Steven was poised to fall victim to his own naivety and the harsh truths he had yet to confront.
That day, when Queenie and Steven had their explosive fight, something had felt off about him, but Diana hadn’t been able to pinpoint what it was.
Diana glanced at the calendar, her expression turning serious.
Cecil hadn’t contacted her lately, and his family’s company was beginning to show signs of trouble, though it wasn’t too severe yet.
The Farley family still hadn’t identified the root of the problem.
Queenie’s secret company, funded by the pocket money Steven had given her, was growing stronger with each passing day.
She had plenty of reasons to cling to Steven.
Diana organized her thoughts about the key players involved, focusing on Jace’s upcoming birthday party.
Suddenly, she sprang to her feet and dialed Luna’s number.

“Ms. Bishop,” Luna answered, her voice cool and respectful as always.
“Luna, I need you to keep a close eye on Queenie leading up to Jace’s birthday party. Track her every move and report back to me daily. Who she meets is crucial, and I want photos of everyone she interacts with–no exceptions.”
Luna hesitated, sensing the tension in Diana’s voice. “Ms. Bishop, you seem on edge. Is something wrong?”
