Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 891

She further suspected that Sebastian had shown up to detain her, to stop her from ruining Joanna's moment in the spotlight.

"I'll go to the hospital with you," Sebastian said, his voice deep and insistent.

Natalie was agitated and cold. She suppressed her anger and glared at him. "Sebastian, you don't have to worry about me ruining Joanna's big moment. If she wants to win, let her win. You don't need to hold me back for her sake."

"And you certainly don't need to go after my friends. You gave the designs to Joanna, that's your business. Those designs were yours to begin with. There's no need to hurt the people around me to pull off something so shameless."

Hearing this, Sebastian finally understood. He looked at Natalie in disbelief, his voice unusually hoarse. "You think I set Susan up to keep you from crashing Joanna's interview?"

"Isn't that what happened? There was that one piano competition I wanted to go to, but to stop me from ruining Joanna's performance, you locked me at home. If you could do something like that once, why not a second time? Sebastian, I don't want to see you again."

Natalie didn't have the energy to argue with him.

A heart that was already cold just grew colder.

"Sebastian, I was looking for you. What are you doing here?" Joanna ran over, linking her arm with Sebastian's, her face a mask of gentle affection.

Sebastian froze, about to push Joanna away.

But the reporters' long-lens cameras were already shoved in his face.

Seeing this scene, Natalie's expression became incredibly cold and calm.

She quickly slid the ambulance door shut, blocking out the noisy world outside.

As the door closed, Sebastian saw Natalie's eyes—utterly hopeless and devoid of emotion.

He knew, in that instant, that he had truly lost her.

Joanna saw the despair in Natalie's eyes and a faint, vicious smile touched her lips.

Sebastian faced the reporters and began to explain, "Everyone, Ms. Scott and I are not—"

*Thump...*

Before Sebastian could finish, Joanna collapsed into his arms.

"Ah! Ms. Scott fainted!" a reporter shouted.

Sebastian looked down at Joanna in his arms, remembering how, at her birthday party, she had conveniently fainted just as Natalie was about to hold her accountable.

A cold smirk touched Sebastian's lips. He scooped Joanna up and walked straight back into the hotel.

The reporters were thrilled. Sebastian was taking Joanna up to a hotel room!

The image of Sebastian carrying Joanna into the hotel was captured by the reporters as a romantic scoop, sending it straight to the top of the trending topics.
