Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 24

Sebastian rubbed his temples. “No,” he said in a low voice. “She brought this on herself.”

She made her bed, now she has to lie in it.

Sean’s expression turned cold.

They were married, after all. When Joanna had left, it was Natalie who had stood by Sebastian during his darkest time. He should have known. Men of power were always heartless. The moment Joanna came back, Sebastian forgot everything his wife had done for him.

Sean felt a surge of indignation on Natalie’s behalf, but there was nothing he could do.

The Spencer family’s banquet was being held in the most luxurious ballroom at Yaro’s prestigious Taros Club. Everyone had arrived except for the main event: Natalie, the one who was supposed to apologize.

Marshall Spencer was entertaining his guests of honor: Joanna, Sebastian, and their family. He looked at the beautiful Joanna, a charmingly wicked smile on his face. “Joanna, that dress looks stunning on you.”

Joanna had opted for a look that was both pure and seductive. Her sleek black dress was modest yet perfectly hugged her subtle curves. She smiled shyly and leaned closer to Sebastian. “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Spencer.”

Marshall was quite taken with her. She was beautiful and kind-hearted—his favorite type. As a wealthy heir, he had seen every kind of woman, especially women like Natalie: vile, shameless, and cruel.

“By the way, Joanna,” he added, “I heard Natalie even kidnapped you once. You’re too kind for letting her get away with it.”

Joanna and Sebastian’s expressions flickered simultaneously. She had only vaguely mentioned the incident to Marshall during a casual chat, but it had clearly deepened his hatred for Natalie.

Sebastian’s brow furrowed. “Mr. Spencer, where did you hear that?”

Joanna tensed. If Sebastian found out she was the source, it would shatter the perfect image he had of her. Before Marshall could answer, she quickly changed the subject with a smile. “Mr. Spencer, where could Natalie be? Do you think she got cold feet and isn’t coming?”
