Chapter 23 Jeff’s Schemes
Diana laughed at herself, realizing that the family affection she once believed in was actually the beginning of her
destruction.
From now on, she would never let it happen again. Whether Paula believed her words or not was no longer her concern.
She would no longer care about how her four brothers and Steven were being destroyed by Jeff and Queenie.
Since her rebirth, Diana had two main goals.
First, she wanted to pursue her own career, and second, she wanted to protect Leopold and her three brothers.
But before she could focus on those objectives, she needed to
deal with Cecil.

nowhere else.

nothing suspicious. Aside from his interactions with people. from the company, he only communicated with his family. There were no signs of a mistress or an affair.
Upon receiving this news, Paula wished she could tear Diana

Initially, Paula thought that after their divorce, Diana would have nowhere to go, so she intended to give her a shabby old house on the outskirts of the city, only to take it back when Diana got married. Now, Paula realized it was unnecessary.

Paula had no idea that the people she had sent to follow Jeff were actually working for him. Over the years, Jeff’s people had infiltrated the entire Barnes family, putting the family
under his control.

Back then, the Marsh family was a modest one, and it was Jeff’s charm and that incident that led him to marry Paula. Ever since, he had enjoyed a comfortable life, reaping the benefits of his union with Paula.
However, his true intention was to eventually get rid of his daughter, four sons, and even his wife.
Knowing Paula’s character well, he understood that her suspicion would drive her to treat him well for a while to erase her guilt.
With these thoughts, Jeff happily hummed a tune as he went downstairs.
Queenie was already prepared to attend the party, waiting for Steven to pick her up. She was in a very good mood today.
Today, she would see Diana apologize in public, and her selfless act of saving Rita would boost her own image and prepare her to enter the entertainment industry.
Seeing Jeff beaming, she smiled and asked, “Dad, why are you so happy?” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
