Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1072

"Don't worry, Joanna. I won't let her get away with this."

Hearing Julian's words, Joanna knew he wouldn't let Natalie off the hook.

They were victims, too.

Natalie watched the three of them put on their little show, a faint smile in her eyes. Pfft. Julian and Adrian Kingsley were so screwed.

Two idiots. Once she took over the Griffith Group, she had kicked Julian and Adrian to the curb, since those two morons followed Joanna around like puppies.

Power and money—she had always liked both.

She didn't like to control other people's lives, but she especially disliked others trampling on hers.

Her life was a clean slate, so why would she let these clowns dance all over it?

Her regret from her past life was not becoming the super CEO her grandfather had wanted her to be.

In this life, she was determined to fulfill her grandfather's wish.

Her grandfather used to say that a woman should be strong and independent, be herself, and not be tied down by romantic entanglements.

Julian walked up to Natalie, looking down at her. "Natalie, don't get too cocky. Sebastian just had a temporary setback. I will uncover all your dirty tricks and ruin your reputation."

Natalie slowly looked up, her tone calm. "What dirty tricks? Julian, honey, do you even hear yourself? Are you talking about Natalie and Sebastian's sordid affair, or..."

She rested one hand on her wheelchair, propping her chin with her fingers. Her cool, stunning face seemed to glow.

She was smiling, but it made Julian feel an immense pressure, as if a mountain was about to crush him, accompanied by a chilling killing intent.

Julian was shocked. It was hard to imagine that Natalie could exude the oppressive aura of someone long accustomed to being in power.

As Sebastian's good friend, Julian naturally knew how much Sebastian doted on Joanna.

Making a scene in public would be bad for Sebastian's reputation.

Adrian scoffed, "Natalie, what's so talented about you? You didn't even graduate from high school..."

"Mr. Kingsley," Dominic Hayes couldn't listen anymore. "Rumors can't be trusted. Your second-rate college can't even be compared to the university Ms. Reed attended. You should really stop embarrassing yourself."

Adrian was taken aback. "Mr. Hayes, what do you mean by that?"

Dominic Hayes looked at Natalie with admiration. "By the time Ms. Reed graduated from college, you were still pulling all-nighters to pass your high school exams. While you were at your crappy university, she was already a major player in the investment world."

"That's all I mean."

Adrian was completely bewildered, watching as Luna pushed Natalie away, following Dominic Hayes.

He turned to Julian and asked, confused, "What did he mean? What did Dominic Hayes mean?"

Was Dominic Hayes saying Natalie went to college in her teens?

Julian's eyes were cold as he watched Natalie's retreating back. His voice was icy. "Dominic Hayes was calling you an idiot."
