Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 763

But everyone was looking at Joanna strangely.

If she hadn’t done anything illegal, why would the police be taking her away?

In an instant, news of Joanna being taken into police custody spread like wildfire online.

Mr. Scott saw the news and was shocked, but the contract signing hadn't started yet. He was curious to see if Sebastian would step in to get Joanna out of this mess.

Controversy creates buzz. A trip to the police station wasn't a career-ender; he could spin this and clean up her image.

Mr. Scott also headed to the police station. He needed to confirm whether Sebastian would intervene on Joanna’s behalf.

Less than half an hour later, the story Joanna had been selling online—that Natalie had defamed her and that she wasn't pregnant—was everywhere.

Natalie had Keith fan the flames, making sure the news gained maximum traction.

Having been given a second chance at life, Natalie wasn't about to let Joanna slander her, openly or otherwise.

Joanna had made her bed, and now she would have to lie in it.

Joanna told Horace to find Natalie.

But Horace had no idea where to even start looking.

His only option was to go to Sebastian's company and find him.

Fiercely loyal to Joanna, Horace drove over, blew past the front desk reception, and took the elevator straight up, bursting into Sebastian’s office.

Sebastian, who had just seen the news himself, was smiling. Natalie was indeed capable of handling things on her own.

Her method was simple and direct, and it would work unless Joanna actually had proof.

But framing Natalie had become such a habit for Joanna that she never bothered with preparing any real evidence.

Seeing Horace storm in, his handsome face turned cold. “Don’t you know how to knock? Where are your manners?”

An icy chill filled the office.

Sebastian didn’t answer, didn’t give any indication of his intentions. He just stood there, his expression unreadable.

Not daring to provoke Sebastian further, Horace turned and left for the police station.

In his haste, he had forgotten one crucial detail: Natalie would also have to be at the station.

Horace rushed toward the elevator, determined to get there first.

Sebastian then summoned Sean.

“Sir, are we going to the police station?” Sean asked as he walked in.

Sebastian looked at him and nodded slightly. “Yes.”

Sean paused, then broke into a wide, happy grin. “Heh… Sir, you’re finally putting your wife first.”

The sight of Sean’s smile sent a pang of pain through Sebastian’s heart.
