Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 878

"So, every time I hurt her, it was because you set it up," Sebastian said, his voice deep with regret.

Joanna smiled and shook her head. "It didn't require any effort from me, Sebastian. The scales in your heart were already tipped. It was because you had me in your heart that you would hurt her so recklessly to protect me. I know Natalie's temper. Even if she never marries, she will never marry you."

Sebastian shuddered. He knew better than anyone that Natalie would never forgive him.

He looked at her lazily. "Joanna, I will do everything in my power to get her back."

Joanna's eyes flew open.

Sebastian just smiled and walked away.

Joanna stumbled back a few steps, crestfallen.

Sebastian had said he would do everything in his power to win Natalie back.

Had Sebastian finally realized he was in love with Natalie?

Truthfully, even when Sebastian hadn't divorced Natalie, Joanna knew he cared about her.

She just hadn't wanted to dwell on it back then, thinking Sebastian could never give her up.

Horace approached her and spoke in a low voice, "Ma'am, the competition is about to start. We should go in. Mr. Sterling has been looking forward to this. If you can take first place today, he can help you rehab your image."

Horace added softly, "Ma'am, Mr. Sterling has already arrived. He's over there watching. He looked very pleased when Mr. Griffith was acting so affectionately toward you just now."

Joanna took a deep breath. She was confident she could win first place in this competition.

She gave Mr. Sterling a slight smile before turning and entering the venue.

She was sure that this time, she would crush Natalie under her heel and show Sebastian who was truly the best.

The competition format was for each designer to present five outfits worn by models. A panel of judges and teachers would score them from the audience, and there was also an online voting component.

Designs were presented anonymously, identified only by a number. The highest score would win this year's Fashion Cup.

Before, whenever she tried to make plans, Natalie was always busy.

Her life revolved around Sebastian, 24/7.

To hear her talk about taking it easy now was genuinely surprising.

She really couldn't be that lovesick girl anymore.

Losing yourself for love means you lose so much more.

"Oh, you! You'd use a great money-making opportunity to just lie around?"

Natalie actually had a wish. She smiled mysteriously. "Susan, do you know what my greatest wish is?"

Susan's eyes lit up with curiosity. "What is it?"
