Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 129

Sebastian’s face was grim. Joanna had deliberately called Natalie to tell her he wanted a divorce? A chilling glint appeared in his eyes. Had he really been deceived by Joanna all this time? If she dared to hurt Natalie behind his back, what about all the other incidents?

Meanwhile, Natalie, free from interruptions after blocking Sebastian, had a wonderful time with her friends. After an afternoon of surfing, Wayne took them to a fantastic seafood feast on the island.

…

That afternoon, Sebastian arrived at the Scott family’s home with Sean, though he went inside alone. He had to know the truth about what happened to his mother.

Wendy was home, personally overseeing the dinner preparations. Her goal was to lock Sebastian and Joanna together for good. When she saw Sebastian’s tall figure stride in, his presence radiating an innate, commanding aura, she took a moment to observe him. He had always been a cold, stubborn man. She had watched him grow up and knew about his dark family life. Sebastian had been a cold child, incapable of warmth or affection. His father had never loved his mother, spending his time carousing with other women and rarely coming home. His mother, miserable in her marriage, had in turn treated him poorly. There was a lot Wendy didn’t know, but she knew Sebastian’s father was a philanderer.

“Sebastian, you’re here. Come, let’s go to the dining room. Joanna cooked a whole meal for you today,” Wendy said with a smile, praising Joanna.

Sebastian simply looked at Wendy and nodded. “Alright.”

He walked toward the dining room. Wendy watched his retreating back. He could be utterly ruthless when pushed. A man like that was a perfect match for a venomous woman like Joanna. Her Natalie deserved someone kind and gentle. She had never seen a soft side to Sebastian; he was always cold and distant.

“Sebastian, welcome,” Nathan greeted him with a fawning smile.

Sebastian nodded once and took a seat.

Joanna saw him staring at his phone, ignoring her. She was annoyed but kept her voice gentle.

Sebastian snapped his phone shut and looked at her directly. “Did you call Natalie today and tell her I was divorcing her?”

Joanna froze. The dinner hadn't even started, and already things were going wrong. How did he know?

She shook her head, her face a mask of innocence. “Sebastian, I didn’t say that. Natalie must be lying. I just invited her to dinner, telling her you’d be here, but she refused and yelled at me. Why would I ever meddle in your marriage?”
