Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 105

Natalie sat down next to Wayne, looping her arm through his. “He just wanted me to cook dinner for him. I made it, and then I left. If something like this happens again, don't worry. He might be tough, but I’m not a pushover anymore. For the sake of peace, I won’t burn that bridge just yet.”

When she thought about it, Sebastian’s cruelty toward her had always been fueled by Joanna’s manipulations and his own lack of love for her. The image of him gently comforting Joanna flashed in her mind, and her heart gave a painful squeeze. But she quickly pushed it away. A smart woman knows when to bend and when to break. Until she was strong enough, a head-on collision with Sebastian was out of the question.

This time, she would use her intelligence to get everything she wanted. All the resources Joanna had in her past life—Natalie would take them all for herself.

In her previous life, she had lost everyone for Sebastian. In this life, she could once again feel the protective warmth of her grandfather and three brothers. It was a wonderful feeling, being cherished.

Wayne’s brow was still furrowed, his handsome face clouded with worry. “Natalie, if he dares to force you again, the four of us will stand together. You think we can’t take on Sebastian?” He couldn’t bear to see her hurt again.

Natalie smiled, twirling a strand of her hair. “There’s no need for an all-out war. We have other ways. We don't have to reveal our identities yet. From what I know, Joanna has someone else backing her—someone with ambitions to swallow up all the elite families in the city. If we expose ourselves now, we’ll become their primary target.”

“We have to be patient and wait for the right moment.”

This time, she would protect her three brothers and her grandfather. She wouldn’t let them suffer the same miserable, tragic fates as before. They had loved her unconditionally, yet in her past life, she had been so blind, abandoning them for the Scotts. In the end, her death had been their greatest sorrow.
