Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 551

Joanna whispered a reminder, “Grandma, don’t tell anyone about this just yet. I can guarantee your future will be even more luxurious than it is now.”

The old woman’s face broke into a wide grin. “Oh, my Joanna is the most sensible one. Not like that ungrateful Natalie. You’re both my granddaughters, but she’s a complete traitor.”

“You’re the best. You’re grandma’s sweet girl.”

Joanna sneered internally. This old woman only cared about money; what family affection?

Only a fool like Wendy would have stupidly funded the Scott family's relatives to help them get rich.

Colin left the Scott family estate and drove straight to his mother's company.

He needed to show his mother that he was on her side—that she wasn’t alone.

He drove all the way to the company building but was stopped by security downstairs. He didn't argue or cause a scene. Instead, he turned around, walked to the curb outside the main entrance, and made a call.

He called his mother's assistant, Lindsay.

Lindsay answered Colin's call while she was with Wendy.

The two were reviewing a new partnership proposal. They had spun off several projects from the original company to form a new one.

By now, the old company was just an empty shell, but they were deeply engrossed in this new project, working day and night in the office to secure collaborations.

Lindsay looked at Wendy across the desk and smiled. “Wendy, it’s Colin.”

Wendy frowned. She’d heard Colin had become Joanna’s driver, and it was really… disheartening.

“Let’s hear what he has to say.”

Wendy’s face was instantly streaked with tears. She struggled to control her emotions. “Colin, I tried to warn Jared, but he never took my words seriously, and it cost him his life.”

“And you’re just as malicious as Jared was, willing to go after your sister to help that venomous snake, Joanna.”

“You three brothers are all cut from the same cloth. I really can’t trust you. Since you know the truth, it’s better to pretend you know nothing. Otherwise, if you end up dead, I’ll be the one who has to claim your body.”

Wendy’s voice cracked as she spoke, severing the bond with her own son. It was agonizing for her too.

But she wouldn't risk her parents' lives for these people.

She was the Don heiress, her parents' only child.

She couldn’t let this pack of ungrateful wolves be the reason her parents died of anger and grief.
