Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 52

In this life and the last, Wendy had never shown her an ounce of motherly love. So why should she want something so cheap now? Perhaps she was just destined to have weak family ties. From now on, she would love who she loved and hate who she hated. Kindness and grievance could both go to hell.

“Is there anything else, Mrs. Scott? If not, I’m hanging up.” She couldn't listen to any more of this nonsense.

“Natalie, are you really going to be this ungrateful?” Wendy’s blood pressure was skyrocketing. This girl was utterly defiant.

“Heh…” Natalie laughed, a sharp, bitter sound. “When I was obedient and compliant, you called me useless. When I fight back, you call me ungrateful and disrespectful. No matter what I do, it’s always wrong in your eyes. As my own mother, you pushed me into the darkness, into the abyss. Is that what you call love? Wendy, six months from now, when your suffering reaches its peak, you will finally understand what I’ve been through these past few years.”

With that, Natalie hung up the phone.

“Hoo…” She took a deep breath. Don’t get angry. Don’t get angry. Absolutely not. You had to conquer your own negative emotions to conquer life. Life would always leave you scarred, but those wounded places would eventually become your strongest.

“Haha…” Natalie laughed as she walked to the bathroom. It actually worked. After a good laugh, she felt like her perspective had widened considerably.

After showering and getting dressed, she went downstairs for her morning workout. An hour later, she took another quick shower before heading down for breakfast.

“Natty, hurry, hurry! We have your favorite ravioli!” her grandfather called out with a smile. Seeing his granddaughter getting back to her old self filled him with joy.

“Coming, Grandpa!” Natalie sat down next to Queena and dug in.

Her grandfather beamed at her, his face full of affection. “Natty, you seem so clear-headed these days. It puts my old heart at ease.”

Natalie smiled back at him, her eyes twinkling. “Being too clear-headed can be a sad thing in itself, Grandpa.”
