Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1111

Joanna stared at him, seething with anger. She felt furious and utterly helpless. This was the critical moment for her career to take off. With the fame she had gained from winning the fashion design award, the rest should have been easy.

Her public profile was solid. She was just waiting for that one explosive moment to launch her into superstardom.

She had planned to enter the piano competition purely for the exposure, a stepping stone into the entertainment industry.

But Natalie's sudden defiance had derailed her schedule.

Recalling everything that had gone wrong, the fury in her chest burned even brighter.

She snapped her gaze to Maxwell Griffith. "Maxwell, we can just use a stunt double for the action scenes. Shooting starts right after the holidays, and I've already spoken to Zachary Vance, but..."

A heavy shadow of doubt clouded Joanna's eyes. In her dreams of the future, Zachary was eventually exposed. Many of the female stars under his management had met tragic, untimely ends, some disappearing without a trace.

She remembered fragments of those events from her dreams.

She needed to take a gamble. She had to know if the things she saw in her dreams were real. Zachary's downfall would be the perfect test.

"Maxwell, we can snatch Zachary's current talent agency. I've already joined his company, and I'll find a chance to figure out exactly how they operate."

"He's a titan in the management world. He holds countless lucrative contracts. If we take over his company, it will accelerate our plans significantly."

She was determined to become the undisputed queen of Yaro's business world, a woman everyone envied. No one would stand in her way. She had to be thousands of times better than Natalie Sanders.

Maxwell looked mildly surprised. "Joanna, he's your manager now. How exactly do you plan on stealing his company?"

"If only we could bail Nora out," Maxwell added.

Joanna shook her head. "Impossible! There's no way to get her out. Marshall Spencer is personally keeping an eye on the police station. With him watching and the evidence being so airtight, bail is out of the question. I've already managed to get a message to her, telling her to go quietly. I promised her brother would take her place, and she agreed. She won't give us up."

"Hmph! If she hadn't been so relentlessly greedy, there would have been vastly more wealth waiting for her." Maxwell was livid. Everything had gone off the rails, leaving him utterly unable to adapt to this new reality.

He clenched his jaw, feeling a sharp pain pulse through his head, and forced himself to relax.

The thought of losing everything Sebastian had built gnawed at him. Wearing Sebastian's face, using his identity, yet still failing to secure what he truly desired—it was maddening.

The mere thought of it twisted a knife of suffocating despair and rage deep in his chest.
