Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 9

“That’s right. Almost. For once, you actually listened to me,” Wayne said, leaning back lazily in his chair.

Natalie pouted, her spirits sinking. This wasn't how it happened in her past life. Mrs. Spencer Sr. was supposed to have fainted first, then her. She had been taken away by Joanna’s men, and Joanna had become Mrs. Spencer Sr.’s savior. Did this mean that no matter what she did, some things were destined to happen?

She had seen Mrs. Spencer’s grandson once before. The man was devastatingly handsome. Joanna had become his close friend, and they often went out together. Using that connection, Joanna had managed to obtain a great deal of commercial intelligence, which she used to help that man. But who was he? She had never found out in her past life.

Wayne’s voice, laced with lazy sarcasm, cut through her thoughts. “The news is saying that Joanna saved the matriarch of the Spencer family. But when I found you, you were soaked to the bone. Are you telling me that you, a champion swimmer, had an accident?”

His mockery stung. “Wayne, did you brush your teeth today?” Natalie retorted, shooting him a cool look.

“Huh?” Wayne breathed into his hand and sniffed, a look of self-disgust on his face. “Do I have bad breath?” He had used mint toothpaste that morning. His breath should be fresh.

Then it dawned on him. He shot to his feet, indignant. “Hmph! You ungrateful brat. I’m leaving. Your ex-husband is outside, and I think he’s getting the wrong idea about us.”

“Whatever. That bastard could drop dead for all I care. Blind, heartless piece of trash. Good riddance to my ex…”

Natalie’s frustration at her failure to change fate poured out in a stream of insults aimed squarely at Sebastian.

Sebastian, who had just reached the doorway, heard every word. He frowned. The woman was getting bolder. She actually dared to curse him.
