Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 327

Sebastian threw him a lazy glance but didn’t reply, simply striding away.

Sean was certain he saw a change in his boss. It was as if Sebastian’s world no longer revolved around Joanna. He was starting to care about Natalie, so much so that he would postpone an international meeting just to check on her. Joanna must have sensed his waning affection, which was why she had shown up early in the morning to win him back.

In Yaro, Sebastian was the undisputed crown prince. If Joanna lost him, she would lose her cash cow. Everyone knew how much Sebastian doted on her. With the latest scandal exposing Natalie as Joanna’s stepping stone, it was unlikely the story would gain much more traction. Natalie’s power was still too limited. The capitalists wouldn't let her tarnish Joanna, their valuable asset. After all, everyone in their circle knew Joanna had been exceptional since childhood.

Sean followed Sebastian back to the office to reschedule the video conference.

That afternoon, the Wilson Group’s PR firm issued a statement. It declared that the conflict between Jared and Natalie was a personal matter and had nothing to do with Joanna, the film’s lead actress.

Shortly after, Jared released a video. In it, he claimed that he and Natalie had a minor disagreement and that he had said those things in a fit of anger to embarrass her. He bowed three times to the camera. “I apologize for taking up public resources over a moment of anger. I am sincerely sorry. This was all staged by Natalie. I’m sorry!”

He shifted all the blame onto Natalie, painting himself and Joanna as innocent victims.

While many netizens didn’t buy it and continued to attack Jared, Joanna was largely forgotten in the new wave of outrage. This was Mr. Wilson’s strategy: go back to the source of the problem. Jared’s ‘clarification’ diverted all the attention to himself. As for Joanna, any publicity was good publicity. She had gained over a million new followers.

Just like that, her reputation was saved.
