Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 729

Robert grew angrier the more he thought about it. How had Joanna’s pregnancy become public knowledge?

“Joanna, didn’t I tell you to be patient? I said I’d tell you as soon as I figured out a solution. Why did you have to go and make it a public spectacle?”

His words only fueled her rage. She hadn't done it.

“How should I know? Besides you, no one else knew about this. Who could it be but you?”

More than Robert, Joanna was the one who wanted to keep her pregnancy a secret. If Sebastian found out, things would become much more complicated.

But she had forgotten that she had just told Natalie everything.

Natalie wasn't going to just take it lying down like before.

“Joanna, do you really think I’m that stupid?”

Joanna knew Robert wouldn't ruin his own career.

But besides him, who else knew she was pregnant?

Her mother knew, but she was certain her mother would never betray her.

Joanna was bewildered, her expression twisted. “Then who was it? Who leaked our story? What do we do now?”

Suddenly, an idea struck her. “Robert, it was Natalie! She knows I’m pregnant.”

Robert’s voice turned icy. “You told her?”

“I was trying to set her up. Robert, you said before that you’d help me deal with Natalie. Now is the perfect time.”

Joanna knew the best way forward was not to rely on anyone or anything, but to become independent and stronger herself.

“There’s only one way out of this now. You have to clarify to the media that you are not pregnant.”

Joanna smirked. At this moment, she knew. Robert wasn’t going to take responsibility.

Her eyes were cold, filled with a biting chill. How had she come to this?

She asked in a heavy tone, “Robert, I know you don’t want to take responsibility.”

“Joanna, we’re still young, and we’re not in love. It was a moment of impulse, just for fun.”

“Hold a press conference. Say you’re not pregnant, that you and Natalie have a feud, and she deliberately slandered you. Then have your agency release the promotional posters for your movie. Based on my experience, this will actually boost your profile.”

“Joanna, you can use this to get more fans. Natalie will be your stepping stone. Then, tonight, there’s a charity gala, a fundraiser for heart disease. Go make a donation, get the media to cover it extensively, and that should clear your name.”

Joanna narrowed her eyes. Of course, Robert had been in the industry for years; he knew how to play this game.
