Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 25

Natalie’s cool voice snapped everyone back to reality.

Joanna looked at her with a wounded expression. “Natalie, what are you talking about? I was just asking Mr. Spencer to forgive you.”

“No need,” Natalie said calmly. “It’s quite a coincidence that Mrs. Spencer Sr.’s bodyguard got into a car accident right after she had her 'accident.' Funny how some so-called tech whizzes couldn't tell the difference between what was real and what was fake.”

Joanna froze.

Sebastian frowned. “Natalie, are you still going to cause a scene at a time like this?”

Natalie shot him a look of pure ice. “What gives you the right to say I’m causing a scene?”

“Natalie, you…” Sebastian faltered, caught off guard by the unfamiliar coldness in her eyes. The irritation simmering inside him grew harder to control.

Natalie’s gaze shifted to Marshall, then swept over the elegantly dressed crowd. Hmm, where’s Grandpa? she wondered. Where is that old man hiding? He probably couldn’t bear to see me get bullied and is hiding somewhere. Before coming in, she had asked Queena to find him and keep him company. She could handle this alone.

“Marshall,” she said, her voice steady. “Let’s begin.”

Marshall’s sharp eyes narrowed as he stared at her defiant face. He had a strange feeling, a phantom pain in his hand. “Natalie,” he said, his voice laced with venom, “today, I’m going to teach you the meaning of a fate worse than death.”

Natalie offered him a dazzling smile, her pearly white teeth a stark contrast to her crimson lips. “Mr. Spencer, do you remember what I said yesterday? For that one slap, I’ll be paying you back tenfold today.”

The guests gasped at her audacity.

“Natalie, you’re not only vicious, you’re delusional! Do you have any idea what’s going to happen to you here tonight?”
