Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 168

The only reason Joanna could provoke her so brazenly was because she knew she was loved and could get away with anything. Natalie, on the other hand, had no one to protect her, which was why she had to grow sharp claws and teeth.

"Waaaaah..." Joanna burst into tears.

The female reporter's live stream suddenly surged with thousands of new viewers.

"Isn't that the pianist, Joanna? Her music is beautiful. Is someone bullying her?"

"Who's bullying whom? I've been watching the whole time. This girl walked right into it."

"Crying when you can't win an argument? Playing the victim won't get you anywhere. People care about results."

"The evidence in the Larry case is solid. What's wrong with these reporters? Are they saying the official police statement is fake?"

"That disabled mother is just playing the pity card. People are always sympathetic to the weak. But she should have considered what her son did before pulling a stunt like this. She has no shame."

The number of viewers in the live stream kept climbing.

Natalie watched Joanna's impromptu performance, completely dumbfounded. Her eyes were wide and watery, and with a slight pout of her lips, she looked utterly adorable.

"OMG, this girl is so cute and pretty! And she speaks so eloquently."

"That's my long-lost wife, everyone move aside."

Watching this vibrant, fiery Natalie, even Sebastian found the corners of his lips turning up into a smile.

"Me, going too far? Is that worse than what you've done? Look at that face of yours, caked in makeup, your lipstick looking like you smeared jam all over it. Your precious Sebastian loves this whole innocent-damsel look, doesn't he? He's watching. Give him a good show."

"Argh... Natalie, why are you so hateful?" Joanna shrieked, losing her composure.

Natalie just smiled, watching her unravel. It was surprisingly satisfying to see her enemy tremble with rage.

"I don't exist to please you. Whether you hate me or not has nothing to do with me. You can keep on hating." She would never again debase herself for Joanna's sake.

"Natalie, you had an affair with Larry! When you couldn't get money from him, you decided to destroy him!" Joanna screamed, her voice shrill. She was going to ruin Natalie herself.

Suddenly, Natalie laughed, a strange, eerie sound. "Alright, your performance is over. Now it's my turn. You say I know him? How about we let everyone see how you used Larry to kidnap me?"
