Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 59

Sebastian coldly pulled his hand away and looked at her intently. “Joanna, in my eyes, you were always gentle and kind. When you bad-mouthed Natalie, I believed you without question, which was completely unfair to her. But why did you have to slander her again when you went home last night?”

“I…” Joanna was at a loss for words. She didn't know how to answer him.

She had disparaged Natalie in front of him countless times before, but he had never contradicted her like this. Hadn't he always taken her side?

“I was just angry, venting a little. How was I supposed to know my mother would take it seriously and go cause trouble for Natalie?” she finally stammered.

“Sebastian, we grew up together. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? It was Natalie who came back and stole the happiness that should have been ours.”

Sebastian’s mind flashed to the phone call he’d overheard between Natalie and her brother. When he had his car accident years ago, Joanna had run off with another man. He had never once doubted her story.

He had believed everything she’d told him.

“Joanna, even if you hadn’t left back then, the person I would have married still would have been Natalie. She is the true daughter of the Scott family. My grandfather only recognizes the Scott family heiress.”

Back then, he hadn’t understood love. If his life had gone on without any major incidents, he might very well have married Joanna.

But Natalie had become the biggest incident of his life.

Sebastian turned and walked away.

Joanna burst into angry tears. So, even if she hadn't left, he wouldn’t have married her.

Sebastian, you have no idea you were only ever my backup plan.

Tears streamed down her face as she stood in the wind. She took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in her heart, and hailed a cab. She knew she had to hold on to Sebastian to get everything she wanted.

Natalie, you will not beat me.

She would find a way to turn this around. She would find an opportunity to make Sebastian despise Natalie completely.

Only then would he finally marry her.
