Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 326

Natalie walked Matthew downstairs, the two of them chatting animatedly.

Sebastian, who had just arrived to see her, saw the entire exchange. His handsome face darkened.

What was Matthew doing here?

Sean, standing beside him, was also taken aback.

Bathed in the afternoon sun, Natalie’s smile was breathtakingly beautiful. A thought popped into his head: After the divorce, she’s stunning the world.

Natalie didn’t notice Sebastian. She was listening intently to Matthew, her face breaking into a bright, happy smile at something he said.

Even after he drove away, she remained on the spot, the smile lingering on her lips.

“You like him?” A familiar, icy voice came from behind her. Natalie spun around to see Sebastian, his eyes dark with anger. She knew why he was upset, but she also knew it had nothing to do with her.

She vividly remembered how, after Joanna’s return, Joanna would orchestrate incidents that left her with minor injuries, all to win Sebastian’s sympathy.

Every time Natalie saw Sebastian’s worried expression as he fussed over Joanna, her own heart would ache with a bitter, suffocating pain.

Now, he was angry simply because she, the woman who still held the title of Mrs. Griffith, was seen laughing with another man. But her world had already shattered in her past life. Natalie offered a placid smile.

“Not yet. But unlike you, if I ever do fall for someone, I’ll wait until after the divorce. I don’t mess around during a marriage. I’m here with Mr. Monroe on business. Don’t assume everyone is as dirty as you just because you have a filthy mind.”

“Natalie, what’s happened to you? You’ve become so sharp-tongued,” Sebastian said, frowning.

Her smile for Matthew had been beautiful. He couldn’t remember the last time she had smiled like that in his presence.

“Where did Joanna go?” Sebastian asked as they walked.

“Ms. Scott went to the Wilson family’s residence,” Sean replied.

Sebastian’s eyes narrowed. “Keep an eye on her. I want a report on her every move.” He hadn’t expected her to approach Mr. Wilson. After failing to win over Mrs. Spencer Sr., she had now set her sights on the Wilsons. He knew exactly what kind of man old Mr. Wilson was.

Soon enough, the online scandal would be cleared up, and Joanna would keep her role as the female lead. Natalie’s move hadn’t truly hurt her.

Sean saw the clarity in Sebastian’s eyes and suddenly had a thought.

Being a man who always spoke his mind, the words tumbled out before he could stop them. “Sir, have you finally seen through Joanna’s manipulative act?”
