Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 392

Seeing him like this, Julian felt a pang of sympathy. In the end, Sebastian was a lonely man.

Joanna's companionship had been nothing more than a means to access the Griffith family's resources.

But Nathan was an idiot who ran his business into the ground.

Julian looked at Sebastian and asked a soul-searching question. "Sebastian, since you came to me, let's talk. What is it that you like about Joanna?"

Sebastian was taken aback. What did he like about Joanna?

He shook his head. "Being with Joanna was complicated. Something was always happening with her, and she was constantly calling me away. But before Natalie revealed the truth, I liked her for her purity."

"But even her purity was just an act. And the person playing along with her was Natalie. One was vicious, the other pure. Natalie's role was simply to make her look good," Julian interrupted with a smile.

Sebastian's face was devoid of expression. He had spent countless nights pondering this, but he could never make sense of it.

Perhaps he had once had feelings for Joanna, which was why he always answered her call.

Thinking back now, what did Joanna really want?

It hit him then. The emotional dam he had been holding back for so long finally broke, and his eyes filled with sorrow.

The Joanna he thought had been genuine with him was, in fact, scheming all along.

And the Natalie who had treated him with true sincerity, he had completely ignored.

Sebastian finally understood. He thanked Julian and left.

Julian shook his head. Matters of the heart were always unpredictable.

After all the twists and turns, all the stumbling and falling, there was no guarantee they would end up together.

…

Jared didn't go home. He sat in his car, lost in thought, before finally deciding to call Susan.

Susan had been exhausted from leading her team in a competition for the past few days. When the phone rang in the middle of the night, she thought it was one of her team members with a problem.

When she saw it was Jared's number waking her up, she nearly exploded with anger.
