Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1076

Joanna was implying that Sebastian's status was a far cry from what it used to be.

Julian's reluctance to cooperate stemmed from his disdain for the new Sebastian.

Her last sentence was dripping with sarcasm. If Sebastian were still the man he once was, he wouldn't have even deigned to speak to Julian.

Julian was instantly struck by how manipulative Joanna was being.

His grip on his utensils tightened. Fine. He would use this subsidiary to test both Joanna and Sebastian.

Julian smiled faintly. "Joanna, what are you talking about? Sebastian and I are old friends. We grew up together. How could I not help him now that he's in trouble?"

"As for the subsidiary deal, let's sign the contract tonight."

Losing one subsidiary was a worthy price to pay to see their true colors.

Joanna and Maxwell Griffith exchanged a smile, and the three of them chatted happily over dinner.

Partway through the meal, Maxwell Griffith excused himself to take a call and went to a private lounge.

As it happened, it was right next to Natalie's lounge.

As soon as Maxwell went inside, Emily quickly slipped in after him.

"Maxwell, I missed you."

Inside the room, the two embraced tightly.

A few seconds later, Maxwell Griffith let her go, his long fingers tracing the line of her jaw with a mocking familiarity. "Emily, Joanna and I are in love. I'm warning you, don't you dare cause a scene in front of her. Other than that, I'll give you anything you want."

He was warning her not to push her luck.

Emily was furious. She was a high-society woman herself. How was she any worse than Joanna?
