Chapter 52 Blame

Paula looked at Steven with a cold gaze.

“Steven, do you know? One lie can cost Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

you a person’s trust for a lifetime,” she

said sternly.

Steven felt unsettled under Paula’s

intense gaze.

In the depths of his heart, he even

harbored the thought that Paula would never acknowledge him as Diana’s

husband.

Thinking about the words Diana had

said, his heart felt empty, and he couldn’t

breathe from the pain.

Chapter 52 Blame

He realized that in his anger, he had

overlooked the fact that Diana shouldn’t

have gone on blind dates while still

married to him.

Her blind date was still with Alexander.

Queenie watched Paula’s figure as she

walked away and wondered, “Could she

have overheard our conversation just

now?”

Queenie instantly felt guilty and uneasy.

She knew that her lie had been exposed, and she understood that trying to cover

it

up with more lies would only lead her

further into a quagmire. One lie led to a

hundred lies, and it was possible to never

be able to untangle the web of deceit for

a lifetime.

Just as she was caught in deep turmoil, she suddenly heard Steven’s voice.

“Queenie, you really disappoint me. Have lunch by yourself,” Steven’s voice was icy cold.

This startled Queenie, and she took

a deep breath before catching up to

Stevén. An anxious look filled her eyes as

she said, “Steven, I was just kidding. Are you really mad at me?”

Steven coldly pulled his hand away and looked at her intently. “Queenie, in my

eyes, you are gentle and kind. When you spoke ill of Diana, I unconditionally believed you. It was unfair to her from

the start. But why did you resort to defaming her when you went back last night?”

“I…” Queenie was at a loss for words,

unsure of how to respond.

Every time she spoke ill of Diana in front

of him, he had never rebutted her like he

did today. Instead, he always believed

what she said.

“I was just angry and venting my frustrations. I never expected my mother to take it seriously and come looking for、 trouble with Diana. Steven, you’ve known

my personality since we were children.

Don’t you know that it was Diana

who came back and took away the

happiness that belonged to us?” Queenie

explained.

Steven thought about Diana’s

conversation with her brother just now.

Back then, when he had the accident,

Queenie had left with another man, but

he had never doubted her before.

He believed everything she said.

“Queenie, back then, even if you hadn’t

left and had married me, Diana would

still be the one to marry into the Marsh

family. She is the true daughter of the Marsh family, as recognized by my

grandfather,” Steven stated firmly.

At that time, he didn’t understand love.

If his life hadn’t taken an unexpected

turn, he might have actually married

Queenie.

But an unexpected thing happened in his

life: Diana.

Then, Steven left.

Queenie burst into tears, realizing that even if she hadn’t left back then, he still

wouldn’t have married her.

She thought, “Steven, do you know that you were just my backup plan?”
