Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 870

“Excellent! I’m always short on good diamonds. If you’re finding it yourself, that saves me a lot of trouble. I’ll have the design for you in ten days.”

“Deal,” Sebastian said.

He stood up and walked to the window, looking outside as he described his requirements to Hemer.

Meanwhile, Natalie received a call from Melissa Grant. She had been discharged from the hospital and warmly invited Natalie to her home for dinner.

Natalie couldn't refuse, so she accepted.

She worked in her office for another two hours, then took Luna out to buy a gift before heading to Melissa Grant's house.

In the car, Luna asked, “Natalie, why do you think Mrs. Wilson is inviting you over? Is it just for dinner?”

Natalie shook her head. “I don’t know. I guess we’ll find out when we get there.”

Natalie knew that someone like Melissa Grant would have another move planned.

A woman like her, who couldn't tolerate the slightest transgression, would never let Mr. Wilson and Sophia off the hook so easily.

“So where are we buying the gift?” Luna asked.

Natalie thought for a moment. “Let’s go to one of the luxury shops under Sebastian’s name. If we’re getting a gift, the high-end brands in his malls will definitely make a statement.”

On this point, she had to admit Sebastian was a very successful businessman.

“Okay,” Luna said.

“Evelyn, before, your father’s company was doing well because of your mother’s support. Now that she’s pulled all her partnerships, his company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Where are we going to get the money for luxuries like this?”

“You should try to be more frugal. You’ll need a dowry when you get married someday. Your father has been stressed out about work these past few days, so let’s try to save him some trouble, okay?”

Hearing that she couldn't buy them, Evelyn was instantly crestfallen.

“Sophia, but these shoes aren't that expensive, just a few thousand dollars. Doesn’t my dad have that much? Sophia, is it because my dad and mom are divorced and you can finally marry into our family that you’re starting to treat me however you want?”

Evelyn’s gaze was fixed on her. Just as Natalie had said, she knew everything; she just hadn’t been willing to admit it to herself.

Sophia frowned, a cold glint in her eyes. She could see the regret on Evelyn's face and knew exactly what the girl was thinking.

She put on a hurt expression and said, “Evelyn, I know what you’re thinking. Do you think I was faking my kindness to you all this time?”
