Hearing his words, Sebastian's eyes filled with guilt, his lips pressed into a thin line as he remained silent.
Natalie. He owed her, and he would make it up to her.
Yesterday, he had wanted to take her to buy a ring, but her gaze was clear, devoid of any trace of love.
She didn't love him anymore, and he was panicking.
Sebastian ignored Colin, turned, and got into his car.
Sean quickly drove away.
Colin didn't understand. If he didn't love Natalie, why was he trapping her?
He was Joanna's driver now. She deliberately humiliated him, but he had to endure it.
He had to get his mother's two hundred million back and figure out Joanna's plan.
Colin leaned against the car, waiting for Joanna to finish the paperwork and come down.
Suddenly, he heard Marshall's voice.
"Natalie, are you done with your IV?"
"Great! I'll come see you then. I've got good news. What do you want for lunch? I'll bring it over."
"Okay, okay,… wait, that's all pretty heavy. You're hurt, you should be eating something light."
"I know, I know. I'll get it from Tulip Cafe. They make those dishes the best. I'll be at your place in about forty minutes."
"Uh-huh, you want me to bring a Coke too? An injured person shouldn't be drinking Coke!"
"Miss, Colin suddenly offered to be your driver. We can't discuss many things in front of him. We must be careful."
"Hmph!" Joanna sneered, her pretty face full of disdain.
"He's an idiot. What are you afraid of? He's always doted on me. If I asked him to kill Natalie, he wouldn't hesitate for a second. As long as he's on our side, we don't need to do anything to him for now."
"But Miss, he could get in the way of our plans. The acquisition of Wendy's company is underway, but she's still putting up a strong fight, refusing to sell."
Horace wondered if they needed to play hardball to make Wendy sell the company sooner.
Joanna's eyes were filled with scorn, a cold smirk on her lips. "No rush. We'll wait a few more days. I'll pay back that two hundred million first to put her at ease. Then, you can pressure her in our company's name. We can acquire her company for under five hundred million, and we'll make her transfer the technology to us as well. The tech she holds is worth at least a billion."
In the end, they would be the ones profiting.
