Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 32

Marshall looked at Sebastian. He suspected the man was in on it with Joanna, that this was all about securing the partnership.

“Fine, Sebastian. But let me be clear,” Marshall warned, his voice low. “My grandmother was set up, and her bodyguard was in an accident. This had better have nothing to do with either of you. If I find out it does, I have ways of making you wish you were never born.” He then turned to his grandmother. “Grandma, let me take you home to rest.”

Mrs. Spencer Sr. gave Joanna a sharp look. “Joanna, while I may not have concrete proof, there is a video that shows you going to the pool area after you and Sebastian separated. We can only see your back, but you drop something into the water. Without better evidence, you got lucky this time. You won’t be so lucky again.”

Then she looked at her wayward grandson. “Marshall, Ms. Sanders is an exceptional and kind young woman. You should spend more time getting to know her. I only spent an hour with her, but I can already tell she is genuine and unpretentious.”

Marshall thought of the woman’s swift, decisive actions and felt a pang of admiration. He managed a weak smile. “Ouch… that hurts.” Natalie hadn’t held back.

“Are your hands okay?” Mrs. Spencer Sr. asked with concern.

Marshall shook them out. “They’re fine, just a little sore.”

Sebastian frowned. Natalie knew medicine? Then what about his eyes all those years ago…? He quickly dismissed the thought. Impossible. His grandmother had found the doctor. But her technique for setting bones… A wave of irritation washed over him. He turned to Joanna. “You should go home and rest. I have something to take care of.”

Joanna grabbed his arm, her eyes pleading. “Sebastian, aren’t you going to stay with me? I’m so upset right now.”

But Sebastian was too agitated. Without another word, he turned and left. Mrs. Spencer Sr.’s words echoed in his mind. Joanna had left his side for a little while after they entered the banquet hall. But the Joanna he knew was gentle and kind; she wouldn’t do something like that. He concluded that Natalie must have poisoned Mrs. Spencer Sr.’s mind against her. The thought brought him a small measure of comfort. Natalie had a long history of malicious behavior…
