Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 957

Colin worried about his older brother. He had a vague memory that his mother had secretly sent his two older brothers abroad, but his own memory was fuzzy.

"Mom, if I go now, what about my brother? He has surgery this afternoon. He can't be alone."

Wendy smiled and patted his hand reassuringly. "Colin, among you four brothers, you're the most level-headed. Your oldest brother is too blunt, your second is a bit slow, and your youngest is stubborn and single-minded. You're the one best suited for business. Don't worry, I'll take care of your brother. You just focus on what I've asked you to do. I'll have Ms. Rogers go with you."

"The Don family has a hundred years of power behind it. We can still rise from the ashes."

"All these years in business, Mom has always left herself an escape route. As long as you four brothers are willing to change, our family won't fall far."

Wendy’s smile was gentle. The sudden turn of events had smoothed away her usual stubbornness and pride.

Colin was filled with guilt. They had been so headstrong all those years. The family's bankruptcy had forced him to grow up fast. He understood so much more now, but for some things, it was too late.

"I'm sorry, Mom. We were so immature before."

Wendy smiled, a deeper bitterness in her heart. "It's not too late to understand now."

Wendy glanced at the two women still caught in their struggle and walked over with a smile. "Well, well, Mrs. Scott. Weren't you so fond of Sophia? Wasn't she your perfect daughter-in-law? How can you bring yourself to hit her?"

At the sound of Wendy's voice, everyone turned to look at her.

Wendy wasn't down-and-out as they'd imagined; she was as elegant and poised as ever.

Mrs. Scott Sr. suddenly let go of Sophia, her eyes filled with regret.

She was regretting it now. When Wendy was her daughter-in-law, she received a 100,000-dollar allowance every month. Now, she had nothing.

Her murky eyes showed a deep sense of loss.

Her mocking gaze stung Nathan's heart.

"Wendy, you don't need to mock me. I don't regret my choice," Nathan said stubbornly. He knew there was no going back for them.

He had been such a fool, completely blind to Sophia's deception. If he could do it all over again, he would never have made the same choice.

Wendy’s lips curled slightly, her voice calm. "As long as you don't regret it. It's a good thing you forced me to sign those papers to sever ties. But it doesn't matter. You may have lost a son, but you still have a daughter."

Wendy glanced pointedly at Joanna.

An immense pain seized Nathan. He was filled with regret, so much so that for a moment, he couldn't breathe.

Sophia glared at Wendy and said with a low, menacing laugh, "Wendy, you're the one who called the old hag here, aren't you?"
