Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 202

He didn’t even like Zenobia. All she did was study; she wasted her entire youth without learning how to have fun. Yvonne was so much better—wild and impulsive, doing whatever she wanted. Now that was freedom.

Wendy left with tears in her eyes. She had tried to warn him, had even let him hear the truth, but he refused to listen. She would have to find another way to handle the shares. The company could not fall into Nathan and Joanna’s hands.

“Natalie,” she whispered, a tear tracing a path down her cheek, “Mom will get revenge for you. Nathan doesn’t deserve to be your father. And Sebastian… he was never good enough for you.” Wendy tilted her head back, and a confident, dazzling smile spread across her still-beautiful face.

Natalie spent the morning reading the news, analyzing development trends for the next two years. It struck her then just how brilliant Sebastian was. His instincts on every project were spot-on; no wonder his rise had been so meteoric. Matthew was his equal, she realized. Both men possessed a terrifying gift for business.

Joanna was terrifying in her own right. In the future, she would leverage her connections to powerful men like Sebastian to become a business tycoon on his level. The first man to give her a taste of that power had been Marshall. Now that Marshall and Joanna were on the outs, Joanna would be looking for her next target: Mr. Wilson.

Natalie also remembered his ultimate fate. She had still been alive then and had heard the rumors.

“Hello, Mrs. Spencer,” Natalie said, her voice calm.
