Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 317

Natalie patted her hand with a small smile. "Susan, in the years I was with that family, I did everything I was supposed to. My conscience is clear where they're concerned. As long as we don't let ourselves be trapped by their twisted sense of morality, no chains can hold us."

Susan wiped her tears away. Natalie was right; they didn't owe anyone anything. "Natalie, anyone can see through Joanna's fake persona, except for the Scotts and…" She couldn't bring herself to say Sebastian's name. "You saw the news a few days ago, didn't you? It looks like Sebastian is getting ready to make Joanna a star."

A dense wave of pain washed over Natalie. She didn't want to feel it, but she couldn't stop it. Her expression remained unchanged as she shook her head. "It's fine, Susan. I've already moved on. I'll send you my collaboration proposal in the morning. When are you leaving?"

A deep-seated hatred flickered in Susan's eyes. "I was planning to leave in three days and spend a few days relaxing on the island. But before I go, there's something I have to do."

Natalie had a good idea of what she was planning. Anything Natalie could find out, Susan could too. Natalie smiled. "Jared's wedding is going to be quite an event, isn't it?"

Susan gave a wicked grin. "Oh, it'll be lively, that's for sure. I'm eager to see if Jared and his 'true love' can withstand a little turbulence."

Natalie chuckled. "Susan, they can."

Susan's expression suddenly fell. That was true. Jared was stubborn. Even if he found out about Monica's past, he would probably stick by her. But that didn't matter. She wouldn't let herself be wronged again. The memory of Monica's schemes still stung, but it wouldn't affect her plans.

The two found another restaurant to finish their meal. Afterward, Susan's driver came to pick her up. Luna arrived to get Natalie, who leaned against the car window, her gaze distant and empty.
