Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 454

"If Nydia doesn't know how to be grateful, then I have no reason to be polite anymore."

She looked at Natalie with pity. "Natalie, that's why I agreed to your divorce from Sebastian. He doesn't understand love, much less how to love someone."

"In his world, he thinks loving someone means laying all the good things at their feet. But love isn't like that. Love is about making each other happy."

"I've been married to your grandfather for many years, and I never expected love. Your grandfather was still a philanderer, but his women on the side never caused a scene in front of me."

"But the son he raised is even more of a womanizer than he was, and he made his wife suffer her whole life. It pains my heart to think about it. The truth is, one person's strength is too limited. It's a bitter truth, but we can't force change on anyone. All we can do is find joy for ourselves."

"Silly child, I just want you to be happy."

The old woman's voice choked with emotion, and Natalie's eyes reddened.

"Grandma, I'll live well from now on. I've done what I needed to do. I don't owe Sebastian anything anymore."

"I'm telling you this so you'll be wary of Joanna. To marry Sebastian, you are her biggest obstacle. I'm afraid..."

"I know. Leave the dirty work to me. I've been through this before, I understand what you mean. You just focus on your career."

A cold, hard light flickered in the matriarch's eyes.

She, too, had clawed her way through all sorts of schemes and betrayals.

Some people, some matters, had to be dealt with slowly.

Half an hour later, Natalie removed the needles. The old woman was sleeping peacefully.

Natalie sat beside her, watching over her.

After overhearing Carson's words last night, she was deeply concerned for the matriarch's safety.

She took out her phone and saw a message from Ian from the previous night. She froze, realizing why Sebastian had suddenly become so angry—he must have seen Ian's message.

Natalie quickly replied: [Ian, something came up last night, so I didn't see my phone. I'm fine, don't worry about me.]
