Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 762

Joanna sneered. “I’ll have someone send you the million dollars in a bit. And I’ll give you a million every year after that, as long as you play the part of my doting father and stay out of my way.”

Nathan beamed. “Deal. A million a year is enough for me to live comfortably. My daughter really is the best to me.”

Joanna hung up the phone, her expression cold.

A chilling glint flashed in her eyes. She was finally getting closer to her goal.

But what about the baby?

Her face darkened. Damn that Robert. She would make him pay dearly for this, and she had to find a way to get rid of this child.

She absolutely could not give birth to this baby, nor could she let anyone find out about it.

Joanna happily picked up her phone, smiling as she scrolled through the endless stream of comments trashing Natalie online.

But her good mood didn’t last long. Horace burst into the room, his face pale with panic.

Joanna’s brow furrowed. “What is it, Horace?”

Horace opened his mouth but didn’t get a chance to speak. Just then, two police officers walked in.

Joanna stared at them, startled. “Can I help you…?”

“Ms. Scott, we’ve received a complaint that you’re involved in the intentional defamation of Ms. Natalie Reed’s character. We need you to come with us to the station for questioning.”

“What?” Joanna was floored. She had been about to call Natalie to gloat, but she never imagined Natalie would actually call the police.

Joanna shook her head, trying to talk her way out of it. “I… I didn’t… I didn’t frame her. She’s the one who slandered me.”

The officer in front, a handsome man with sharp features, presented a warrant. “Ms. Scott, at the press conference you just held, you repeatedly claimed that Natalie Reed defamed and discredited you. She has filed a formal complaint. Now, please come with us.”
