Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 860

Seeing his signature on the papers, Melissa Grant breathed a sigh of relief.

She had known him well enough to push him this far.

Evelyn, however, started to feel a sense of fear. But, too proud to speak up, she silently watched her parents finalize their divorce.

Evelyn watched her mother nervously, wondering what she would say with all the reporters present.

Natalie had already anticipated this outcome.

She said nothing. Her name was cleared, and she was now the hero who had saved Melissa Grant. The internet was abuzz with trending topics about how she was as kind as she was beautiful.

With the show over, the reporters began to leave the police station.

Natalie signed her release papers and was free to go.

After signing, she walked over to Melissa Grant. "Mrs. Wilson…"

"Natalie, I'm not Mrs. Wilson anymore. Please, call me Ms. Grant. It’s my maiden name."

Natalie obliged. "Ms. Grant, thank you for coming today."

"How could I not? And thank you for saving me. Because you saved me, I'm here today. A near-death experience really puts things in perspective. Life goes on, and the world keeps spinning. It turns out, we can all live without each other."

Natalie knew she was saying this because she had completely lost faith in her children.

A mother's love is a powerful thing, and as long as there was a shred of it left, she would have fought with all her might for them.

"Congratulations on your new beginning, Ms. Grant," Natalie could only say.

"Thank you. I'll be going back to my parents' place to recover. Call me if you need anything. Once my leg is healed, I'll host a dinner party in your honor."

Natalie shook her head. "Ms. Grant, you don't have to go to such trouble."

Evelyn looked in disbelief at her mother's cold, detached expression. The eyes that once held such hope were now completely blank.

Evelyn knew, in that moment, that her mother had completely given up on her.

She was terrified.

Her mother had heard what she and Sophia said yesterday while they were shopping.

"Mom…"

"Natalie, I'm heading back now. You should get some rest too. It's too cold out here," Melissa Grant said, pointedly ignoring her daughter.

Natalie replied, "Alright."

The assistant helped Mrs. Wilson into the car, stowed the wheelchair, and then drove away.
