Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 359

Natalie recognized the voice instantly. Was that Joanna? Her mind immediately flashed to Marshall. "Mr. Monroe, let's go check it out," she said to Matthew.

A crowd had already gathered outside a lounge on the second floor. By the time Natalie and Matthew pushed through, they saw Joanna, her clothes in disarray, with Marshall on top of her, kissing her frantically. Sebastian and Mr. Wilson were on either side of Marshall, trying to pull him off.

Marshall was clearly not himself; his eyes were glazed and his movements erratic.

Sebastian clenched his fist and swung hard at Marshall's face.

Natalie saw it happen in slow motion. The veins on Marshall’s neck were bulging; in his drugged state, he wouldn't be able to withstand a blow like that. His blood vessels could rupture. He could die.

Without a second thought, she lunged forward, throwing her arms around Marshall to shield him.

A split second later, a searing pain exploded in the back of her head.

"Ah!" she cried out.

Sebastian stared in disbelief. Natalie had just appeared out of nowhere. Had she lost her mind, risking her life to save Marshall?

Wait. If Natalie was here, then…

His gaze snapped to Joanna, and he finally noticed that her dress was almost identical to Natalie's. Not exactly the same, but the style and her hairstyle were similar. In his fury, he had thought it was Natalie being assaulted by Marshall, which was why he had attacked him.

"Natalie, are you crazy, jumping in like that?"

Just then, Mrs. Spencer Sr. arrived on the scene. Seeing the state Joanna was in, she immediately understood what had happened and went on the offensive, pointing a trembling finger at Joanna. "You vile woman! You tried to kill me once before, putting something in the swimming pool, and I let it go. But you repay my kindness with this? Drugging my grandson and trying to seduce him! Can't you live without a man?"

Joanna, who had been sobbing pitifully, abruptly stopped. She had been about to accuse Marshall of attempted rape, but this old hag beat her to the punch.

Mr. Wilson's eyes glinted as he looked at Mrs. Spencer Sr. "With all due respect, Mrs. Spencer, when we opened this door, we saw your precious grandson on top of Joanna."

He narrowed his calculating eyes. He also had designs on the Spencer family's assets, which made him a perfect ally for Joanna.

But Mrs. Spencer Sr. was no fool. She knew exactly what the old fox was up to. "And Mr. Wilson, right now, we all see you holding Joanna. Does that mean you two are having an affair as well? I hear you were both seen entering a hotel one after the other the other day, and you didn't come out for quite some time."
