Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1201

Sophia collapsed, and Nathan lacked even the strength to summon a doctor for her.

Fortunately, a nurse making her rounds passed by, called for help, and revived Sophia.

Natalie and Wendy were fully aware of the drama unfolding at the hospital.

Wendy had known all along that, given Joanna's inherent selfishness and her destroyed public image, she would never bother caring for her equally self-serving parents.

When Assistant Miller discovered that Nathan was completely bankrupt and paralyzed, his dreams of riding their coattails into high society shattered. He arrogantly stormed into the hospital room with his crew, forced Nathan to sign the divorce papers, and made off with the last of his carefully hoarded assets.

Paralyzed in bed, unable to move or speak, Nathan was left entirely at their mercy.

When Sophia finally woke up, she learned the devastating truth: during her son's desperate escape, he had fallen into the ocean. His body was never found.

Her mind simply snapped under the weight of it. She wandered the halls, grabbing random strangers and begging them to help find her boy.

She even caused a violent scene right in front of Joanna, lashing out at a bystander. Joanna had to pay a massive settlement just to keep the victim from pressing charges against her mother.

Looking at her disheveled, unhinged mother, Joanna was hit by a sickening realization. The horrific karma she had originally intended to unleash on Wendy had backfired, landing squarely on her own mother.

Her mother was completely institutionalized.

"Hehe... Little girl, have you seen my son? He's tall and incredibly handsome. He's such a good boy, not like that ungrateful daughter of mine who tossed me aside. Can you take me to find my son? Please?"

Devastated by Alexander's death, Sophia could no longer even recognize her own biological daughter standing right in front of her.

Joanna's heart shattered into pieces.

Her mother was looking at her with absolute, unadulterated hatred.

When she visited her mother as a child, Sophia had always been gentle and kind. She would pull Joanna into her arms, tears in her eyes, refusing to let her go. Back then, Joanna had secretly sworn that one day she would bring her mother out of the shadows and back to her side.

She had vowed to love her mother more than anyone else in the world. She didn't want her living in secrecy for the rest of her life; she wanted her to rightfully step into the light as the esteemed Mrs. Scott.

That was when she began her relentless scheming to take everything from Wendy. Every time she got hurt playing the victim, the Scotts would shower her with money, all of which she secretly funneled to her mother.

And the moment Sophia received that cash, she would immediately buy beautiful gifts for her daughter.
