Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 756

She had once believed her love could seep into his world like a gentle spring rain, melting the ice around his heart.

But reality hit her like a resounding slap, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

She struggled on the edge of love and despair, like a moth drawn to a flame. She knew it meant destruction, but she charged ahead without hesitation.

This time, she didn't dare. She wouldn't get a second chance at life.

Natalie put down her book, went to the bathroom, and after a shower, she slipped into bed and went to sleep.

***

That evening, Sebastian was drinking with Julian, his other good friend Adrian, and a few other acquaintances.

Sebastian didn't drink much. He often attended such gatherings for business matters.

But he checked his phone countless times. There were no messages from Natalie.

Sean couldn't drink as he had to drive Sebastian home, so he sat to the side playing on his phone.

He deliberately tried to avoid the trending topics about Joanna, but as soon as he opened his browser, they were all over the page.

He was disgusted by Joanna. He opened his chat with Luna.

[Luna, when is this Joanna news going to die down? It’s pretty disgusting to look at.]

Luna: [Isn't she your boss's first love? What are you disgusted about?]

Sean: [What first love? She's ancient history.]

Sean and Luna chatted back and forth happily, oblivious to the people and surroundings.

Julian and Adrian were deep in conversation.

Across from them sat several rich heirs, beautiful women in their arms, drinking intimately.

Sebastian froze at his words.

He thought the same thing. Was the child his?

He warned in a hoarse voice, "Don't talk nonsense. No one will think you're a mute if you keep your mouth shut."

Adrian let out an exasperated laugh. "What's with the attitude? I was just worried you were upset."

"Besides, what's there to be upset about? Just divorce and marry Joanna, and all your problems are solved. Is that Natalie woman refusing to sign the papers? A country bumpkin who doesn't know anything really thinks she can be the lady of the Griffith family?"

"If she can, so can my sister. And my sister is so much more outstanding."

Adrian beamed with pride whenever he mentioned his sister.

Sebastian shot him a cool glance. "Who told you Natalie was a country bumpkin?"
