Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 533

Sebastian looked at her with a wry smile. Not do this to her?

“So, you want me to betray Natalie and marry you instead!”

“Sebastian, I was the one you were supposed to marry in the first place,” Joanna said, looking utterly wronged.

She had to marry him. At least then, she wouldn't have lost.

“You’re the one who left after the car accident. I made you a promise, but you were the one who gave up on it first. It seems what I told you last time didn't sink in,” Sebastian said, his eyes deep, cold, and inscrutable.

Joanna’s heart skipped a beat. It had been a long, long time since she’d seen that dangerously cold expression on his face.

Sebastian had always doted on her. She didn't know what had gone wrong. Natalie leaving should have been a good thing for both of them.

But then Sebastian suddenly refused to get a divorce. Was it that classic male flaw—only learning to cherish something after it's gone?

Did he only regret it after losing her?

She had spent ten years of her life working to marry the man in front of her.

She absolutely could not let that witch Natalie win.

Sebastian’s hot-and-cold attitude was deeply unsettling.

“Sebastian, the entire Griffith family is in your hands now. Are you really still afraid of some useless agreement?”

Joanna didn't understand. What was his reason for suddenly falling out of love with her?

Was it just because he'd found out about the things she'd done?

But Sebastian wasn't blind to her past actions. He’d seen them, but he had always been endlessly tolerant of her and harbored a dislike for Natalie.

Sebastian's smile was enigmatic. “Joanna, if you want me to marry you, fine. But are you willing to live a simple life with me after I donate the entire Griffith family fortune?”

Joanna forced a strained smile. “Sebastian, what are you talking about? Would you really give away everything the Griffith family has built? Your grandfather is old, his mind isn't clear. Are you going to be just as reckless as he is?

She had dealt with all sorts of men. Even the award-winning actor she was currently filming with was someone whose emotions she could easily manipulate.

Even Sebastian, who was calculating and ruthless, always showed his gentle side to her, despite how well he hid his true nature from the world.

But the expression Sebastian had just shown her was terrifying.

His undisguised ruthlessness sent a shiver of fear down her spine.

And what he said about the illegitimate children... did he know something?

Joanna clenched her fists tightly.

She forced a gentle smile. “I'm sorry, Sebastian. I was being thoughtless. I shouldn't have pressured you, but I just really want to marry you.”

Joanna looked at his handsome face. He was tall and carried himself with an air of elegance, even while seated. If she didn't know about his childhood, she might have truly loved him.
