Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 728

Sean was shocked. “Oh my god, President, are you okay? How did your first love get pregnant with Mr. Warner’s child? President… if you need a shoulder to cry on, I can come over.”

Despite his supposed concern, Sean’s voice was dripping with schadenfreude.

Sebastian, already on edge, heard Sean's snarky tone and let out a humorless laugh. “Sean, it sounds like you’re tired of your job. Remember, don’t use our company’s PR team. Use one from a subsidiary, one that Joanna and the Warner family can’t trace.”

“Hey, President, this is my steady job we’re talking about. But it’s okay if you don’t want me, I have plenty of other options, haha…” Sean laughed heartily and then hung up.

Sebastian was speechless.

He furiously threw his phone. It bounced off the sofa and landed on the floor without a single crack.

He stalked over to his desk chair, sat down, and brooded in silence.

Because now, all Natalie wanted was to leave him.

Joanna was reviewing the year-end reports. The news of the Yates family’s bankruptcy was already out, and she saw that Sebastian had done it to avenge Natalie.

It was then that she felt a serious sense of crisis. Sebastian was truly no longer under her control.

That plan had to be put into motion. She shouldn't have hesitated before.

Just as she was about to call Sebastian, she saw a news alert that made her eyes widen in terror.

[Mr. Warner and Joanna, Star of “Palace Intrigue,” Seen Entering Hotel Late at Night; Ms. Scott Pregnant]

[Mr. Warner and Ms. Scott: Wedding Bells Ahead?]

Joanna’s vision went black. The combination of pregnancy and shock was too much. She knew the movie she had worked so hard on was finished.

Her eyes turned dark. Who had plotted against her like this? Natalie?

But Natalie didn’t know about her and Robert.

The cold wind howled outside, but Joanna’s heart felt colder than the frozen world beyond her window.

How had she, Joanna, ended up in this position?

Her phone rang. It was Robert. She quickly answered. “Robert, how did news like this get online? Didn’t you say you’d take every precaution? How did we get photographed? Are you trying to ruin me?” Joanna screamed in fury.

Robert had only been toying with Joanna because she was attractive. He never thought he’d get trapped by her. Just one time without a condom, and she got pregnant?
