Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1203

Marshall hurriedly pointed at the video, urging Natalie to look.

"Natalie, look at this. Now."

Natalie glanced down at the screen, and the brutal image of Marshall's tragic end from her past life immediately flashed through her mind.

In that instant, she understood exactly why he was so visibly shaken.

Wasn't this exactly how he had died in his previous life?

No wonder he was completely losing his mind over it.

She looked at Marshall with a mix of sympathy and amusement, offering a faint smile. "Wow, Marshall. Looks exactly like you. What a gruesome way to go."

Marshall was speechless.

He shuddered violently. Having lived through it in his dreams, his body instinctively remembered the phantom agony.

"Natalie, don't you think this is terrifyingly weird? Why would Joanna's biological brother die the exact same way I did?"

Natalie recalled the morning headlines. Joanna had just institutionalized Sophia.

Nathan was permanently paralyzed. Everything that had happened to Wendy in the previous life was now systematically destroying Joanna's biological family.

She couldn't help but wonder if the elderly Scott parents would be next—suffering a fatal heart attack from the shock of losing their grandson, just like Wendy's parents had.

Lowering her voice, Natalie said, "Marshall, is it possible that all the horrific karma from our past lives is now rebounding onto the people closest to Joanna? After all, you and I died the most unjust deaths."

Marshall gave her a solemn look. Wasn't that the truth?

He had been a complete idiot, dying so senselessly while Joanna effortlessly seized the entire Spencer empire.

He had been nothing more than a convenient stepping stone for her.

Her mind drifted to the tampered DNA test. She was suddenly consumed by the burning question of her biological father's identity.

With a calculated smile, she replied, "Oh, I have a plan. But it entirely depends on what Joanna does next."

A chilling thought crossed Marshall's mind. "Natalie, I think Joanna is going to completely embrace her villain era now that her family ties are severed."

"You know, just like those TV shows. The female lead gets pushed too far, completely goes dark, and becomes an absolute menace."

Natalie's smile widened, her eyes sparkling. "Marshall, aren't you describing me? Think about how much abuse I took. That wretched homewrecker sent me arrogant texts every single day—photos, proof, taunts."

"She played the victim in public while secretly running her own empire. Even with all those corporate responsibilities, she still made time to make my life a living hell. And then, I rose from the ashes."

"Life is about moving forward. I took a three-year hiatus, and everyone assumed I was just some useless, uneducated small-town girl."

"But I wasn't. While I rested, I plotted. I never stopped hustling. I've always known that complacency is a death sentence."
