Natalie shook her head, a faint smile playing on her lips that made her eyes sparkle. “Joanna, your mistake is wanting everything without working for it. You think you can win men over with your looks and use their status to climb the ladder. There’s nothing wrong with ambition, but your mistake was wanting to drain Wendy's company dry and use her as a stepping stone to get ahead.”
“Joanna, you actually succeeded once. My own stupidity gave you the opening you needed.”
Joanna listened to her, a confused look on her face. What was she talking about?
A cold gust of wind made her shiver, but Natalie stood firm, blocking the doorway.
Her voice trembled as she asked, “Natalie, what do you mean by that?”
Natalie just smiled and shook her head. “Nothing. I just think you’re quite something. Even the villains in a fairytale have more heart than you.”
Joanna’s brow furrowed. Looking at that smile, she had a nagging feeling that Natalie knew something.
“Natalie, you don’t have to be so sarcastic. Now move aside. I want to see Sebastian.”
Natalie didn’t budge. “Joanna, the matter of you having the housekeeper poison Grandma—we have video, we have evidence. You still have the nerve to come looking for Sebastian? Aren’t you afraid he’ll have you thrown in jail?”
Joanna froze. Impossible. The housekeeper wouldn’t betray her.
Then, a smile spread across her face—a confident, knowing smile.
“Natalie, if Sebastian wanted me in jail, he would have sent me there the moment he caught the housekeeper. But look at me, I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?”
“I’ve told you many times. No matter what I do, Sebastian will forgive me unconditionally.”
“Or, I could just expose everything you’ve done online. Your choice.”
Joanna stared at her coldly, but she had already found out what she needed to know.
She had rushed here to find out how much Sebastian knew.
The housekeeper was a smart woman; she wouldn’t betray her.
The outcome was just as she had expected. Even if Sebastian knew she had tried to poison his grandmother, he wouldn’t have her arrested.
Joanna sneered. “Fine. I won’t go in. But I want to make one thing clear: as long as I’m around, you will never have Sebastian.”
