Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 389

With that, Sebastian left.

The distant lights illuminated his tall, straight back, making Joanna’s heart pound with increasing panic.

Jared was stunned, because Sebastian was telling the truth.

Mr. Griffith Sr. had only given Sebastian management rights on the condition that he married Natalie.

“Joanna, just wait a little longer. When Sebastian has full control of the Griffith family, he’ll marry you. As long as I’m here, I will never let Natalie steal him from you.”

Joanna saw the pain in his eyes but felt no sympathy. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't be an illegitimate daughter. She hated all the children Wendy had given birth to, but at the same time, if not for Wendy, her own mother, a commoner, would never have lived a life of wealth and luxury.

It was hard to jump social classes. She wanted to become the master of Yaro. Every clash with Natalie only deepened her resentment.

Her company was doing better and better. With some confidential information from Mr. Wilson's company, its growth would accelerate.

Over the years, she had learned a lot from Sebastian, and she had come to deeply appreciate the taste of power and influence. Once you've entered a world of wealth, how could you ever be willing to leave?

Many of her business tactics were learned from him.

But she maintained a perfect facade, saying pitifully, “Thank you! Let’s go back. Natalie slapped me today, and my face really hurts.”

Jared looked at her swollen cheek, his heart aching for her. “That woman Natalie is too vicious. Don’t worry, next time I see her, I’ll teach her a lesson for you.”

Hearing that, Natalie felt reassured.

“Let’s go home. Your wedding is in a few days. We’ll go back and convince Mom to attend.”

Joanna looked at Jared, her face a mask of concern.

Jared was distressed. It was indeed painful not to have his mother’s blessing.

“I’ll take you home first.” Jared lowered his eyes, saying nothing more.

Joanna sensed his mood was off, but she was in a bad mood herself and didn’t pay it much mind.
