Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 557

Horace was also stunned. Facing Joanna’s fury, he was momentarily speechless.

Joanna glared at him, the corners of her eyes red, her voice sharp. “Horace, say something! Didn’t you say you had everything arranged?”

Joanna was on the verge of a breakdown. Why were all her plans failing, one after another?

Horace looked down, filled with guilt. He faced the enraged Joanna and spoke in a low voice, “Miss, I truly did arrange everything. Is it possible that Marshall knew in advance that someone was going to report him? And that’s why he swapped out the materials and the supplier?”

“Impossible. This was done with extreme secrecy. How could he have known?” Joanna refused to believe Marshall could have known beforehand.

She had only made the arrangements last night.

Even Yves didn’t know she was making a move today. How could Marshall have known?

Horace lowered his eyes, trying hard to pinpoint where things went wrong.

But no matter how he thought about it, every step had been handled with discretion. It should have been foolproof.

That brat Marshall, an arrogant, spoiled rich kid—how had he become so difficult to deal with?

“Miss, I’ll contact the CEO of HenSen Group.”

Joanna raised a hand, stopping him.

Her eyes were cold and heavy. “Don’t do anything yet. We can’t tip our hand or bring trouble upon ourselves.”

“With the Spencer family being reported, all eyes will be on HenSen Group. Let’s wait. Yves should have his son back by now. We can ask him what happened then.”

“But Miss, we also invested in Yves' development. Now that his project is the one in trouble, it’s possible our entire investment will go down the drain.”

They shot themselves in the foot.

The karma was swift.

Joanna froze, nearly forgetting about that.

No, this couldn’t happen.
