Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 437

Joanna faltered. Sebastian had never asked her that before.

No matter when she appeared, he had never seemed to think her timing was inappropriate.

Why was he asking now?

A sense of panic rose in Joanna's chest. His eyes were so cold.

She forced a smile and explained, "Sebastian, there aren't that many islands around here. I just guessed you'd come here. You once said you'd take me on a vacation to an island. I remember after I came back last year, you even bought an island specifically for a getaway with me."

"But the scenery here is beautiful. The water is sparkling under the sunset. We have a sunset scene to shoot in two days; I think this would be a great location."

Sebastian frowned. Back then, he had been blind in both eye and heart.

He said flatly, "I'll take you next time. I'm heading back now. If you like the view, you can stay here for a few more days."

Joanna's face paled. It was a deserted island with no shelter, and Sebastian was telling her to stay for a few days. She felt as if he didn't care for her at all anymore.

He had truly changed, completely and utterly.

Her smile was strained, her gentle facade nearly cracking. "Sebastian, are you joking with me? I came here to find you. When you're not with me, I feel so empty. I only feel at ease when I see you."

Joanna's voice was soft, and her white dress fluttered in the wind, making her look ethereal and pitiable.

Sebastian had always been a sucker for this act.

Marshall and Susan watched Joanna's deliberately gentle performance, cringing so hard their toes curled.

How could Sebastian not see through such an obvious act?

Susan muttered, "I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder."

She remembered how she used to think Jared was the most handsome man alive. After she snapped out of her infatuation, she found him utterly disgusting.

Susan turned and looked at Natalie sympathetically. "Natalie, I finally understand why you lost to Joanna."

Marshall said blankly, "Because Natalie isn't as good at playing the victim as Joanna is."
