Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1060

Maxwell Griffith smiled. “That's right. This summit offers us many opportunities. The returns on trade exports are also excellent right now, and foreign tech companies can provide significant support to our domestic ones.”

“Take the smart medical system Natalie mentioned before, for example. You have talented people in that field. We can develop our own medical AI system before the summit.”

“As long as we beat Natalie's team, we win.”

A jolt of predatory excitement shot through Joanna. That was the play! It took Natalie's team two years to develop their system, but the talent she had on hand was better.

Joanna was practically vibrating with renewed ambition. She had Horace get started on the matter before having Maxwell Griffith drive her home.

Maxwell Griffith asked, “Joanna, are we going back to the apartment, or to your mother’s place?”

The mere mention of her mother made Joanna incredibly irritable.

“No—”

Before she could finish, her phone rang.

Seeing it was her mother, she felt an inexplicable wave of annoyance. Lately, every call from her mother brought bad news.

“Hello, Mom.”

“Joanna, you need to come back right away! Your father has gone insane! He secretly plotted to take over Mr. Wilson's company. That company belongs to your brother! He's your brother's own flesh and blood! Your brother's company overseas was taken over, and now your father has taken Mr. Wilson's company. That bastard, how dare he?”

Joanna was stunned. Nathan had been quiet for some time, only to be secretly orchestrating such a scheme to seize Mr. Wilson’s company.

Joanna was shocked. Her father was capable of something like this?

Then Joanna smiled. Wasn't this a good thing?

Nathan was her biological father, so of course she would side with him.

All that remained was the shame and humiliation her mother had brought upon her.

Sophia was in anguish. “Joanna, how can you say that to me? Others might not understand me, but you’re my daughter. Don’t you know my situation? Joanna, I wanted to be a good woman back then, but your father wouldn't allow it…”

Joanna didn't bother listening to the rest of her long-winded speech. She hung up and said, “Maxwell, let’s go to my mother’s villa.”

Maxwell Griffith replied, “Alright.”

At the hospital.

Wendy received a message from Mrs. Wilson.

Mrs. Wilson: [I have some good news to share, Wendy. Your ex-husband didn't disappoint. He took over Mr. Wilson's company. The old fool is kneeling at my door crying right now.]
