Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 130

Joanna sat down across from him, looking utterly wronged.

Sebastian stared at her, his gaze deepening as he studied her pained expression.

Wendy seized the opportunity to sit down as well. “Sebastian, years ago, you promised you would marry Joanna. A man of his word should honor his commitments. You and Natalie aren't in love; the person you’ve always loved is Joanna. You should divorce Natalie and marry Joanna. Natalie has already signed the agreement, and there are no financial disputes.”

“The divorce proceedings will be quick. In the two years she was married to you, you never spent a penny on her. You gave her no financial security, never bought her a single gift. I assume you planned it that way so there would be no entanglements upon divorce.”

“For Joanna, however, you’d buy an island worth hundreds of millions just to see her happy. Yet you were too cheap to even buy Natalie a wedding ring. The difference in treatment is obvious. I know you’re madly in love with Joanna.”

“Natalie, on the other hand, took care of you tirelessly during your most difficult time. For that alone, you should let her go. Marry Joanna, the woman you love. That’s the only way you’ll find happiness.”

“I’ve watched you grow up. The way you treat Joanna is better than any of those billionaire CEOs in the prime-time dramas. You’re a good man, and we would feel at ease entrusting Joanna to you.”

Wendy was deliberately building him up to tear him down. She knew she had no right to say much, being one of the villains in this story herself. Sebastian had married her daughter and given her nothing. He didn't deserve her. There was no pain like the pain of comparison.

Sebastian’s fists clenched under the table. As Wendy laid it all out, piece by piece, he realized just how terribly he had failed Natalie. He had granted Joanna’s every wish while being so miserly with Natalie that he hadn’t even given her an allowance. He had forgotten all about that until Wendy brought it up.

Joanna looked at Sebastian with breathless anticipation, waiting for him to agree to marry her.

She turned back to Sebastian. “If you don’t believe me, I’ll get my laptop right now. You can plug it in and see for yourself.”

Sebastian nodded curtly. “Get it.”

Joanna lowered her eyes to hide her glee and quickly stood up to retrieve her laptop.

Wendy’s hands tightened into fists. Natalie would never do such a thing. Joanna’s behavior, on the other hand, was highly suspicious. If she’d had real evidence, she would have exposed Natalie long ago. Why wait until now?
