Natalie had framed her this time, and after being framed so many times before, her reputation was already stained.
Robert continued giving her advice. “Joanna, wait a little longer. Let the situation stew for a bit, then hold the press conference and pin all the blame on Natalie. She’s set you up before, you know what I mean?”
Joanna understood perfectly. She smiled coldly, her voice flat. “I know. It’s a shame about our child, becoming a stepping stone for us. It was probably a boy. I had a dream about the baby last night. It was a black snake.”
Without giving Robert a chance to respond, Joanna hung up.
A murderous glint filled her eyes.
Robert was useful, but he wasn't worthy of being her man.
She let out a soft laugh. It was true, pregnancy had made her foolish. She used to be able to manipulate Natalie so easily. How had she become so passive?
She had beaten Wendy. What was Natalie in comparison?
She took a deep breath. She would let the storm rage a little longer.
Joanna called Horace into the room.
Horace entered quickly. “Miss, what do we do now? This situation is getting bigger and bigger.”
He was worried. Joanna was just starting to build her career, and any small incident could destroy her.
The young master had put in a lot of effort to get her to this position.
Joanna smiled faintly. “It’s fine. I’ve already figured out a plan. Contact our private PR team. I’m going to hold a press conference in a bit. I’ll tell everyone that these rumors are false, just mudslinging from Natalie.”
Horace had been with her for many years. The moment Joanna spoke, he understood.
He nodded with a smile. “Alright! I’ll go prepare immediately.”
***
Natalie was in her room, sketching designs. Today, she channeled her frustration into motivation, and the inspiration was flowing well. The pen scratched across the paper, each stroke smooth and confident.
Luna was taken aback. “Sis, so the baby in Joanna’s belly is Sebastian’s?”
“Yeah. That’s what she said,” Natalie confirmed, her voice suddenly losing all its energy.
Luna could hear it. Her sister’s feelings were getting the better of her again.
“Sis, don’t be sad. You already decided to give up on Mr. Griffith. It doesn’t matter whose baby she’s having.”
Luna had a cool personality and wasn’t good at comforting people.
Natalie felt deflated, unable to muster any enthusiasm.
“Luna, I know you’re right, but I still feel pretty awful.”
Natalie’s dark eyes lost their sparkle, and a faint redness rimmed them.
“You know, Luna? Even though I’ve let him go, my heart still hurts without my permission.”
