Chapter 387

Perhaps it was because Natalie had always been the type to take abuse without fighting back.
Joanna truly couldn’t believe that Natalie had become so bold as to hit her in front of Sebastian.
This arrogant version of Natalie wasn’t off-putting at all, and that feeling made Joanna want to kill her.
“Natalie, how dare you hit Joanna!” Jared rushed out from the shadows, shielding Joanna and glaring at Natalie.
“You dare hit her right in front of Sebastian? I can only imagine how you bully her behind his back.”
“Tsk, look at you, the big sucker. You can barely take care of yourself, and yet you’re sticking up for others.”
She thought of the scene she’d witnessed tonight, of Monica kissing another man. She’d package that up and give it to him as a wedding gift.
She had been thinking about it wrong. Rather than watching Joanna deal with them, it would be better to watch them tear each other apart.
Monica had been ruthless towards Susan just to get Jared. This gift was a must.
“Natalie, what are you talking about? What sucker? Why did you hit Joanna?” Jared demanded furiously. She was completely out of control.
Natalie found it amusing. “Because she was trying to seduce my husband. You’re her brother, yet you let her run around seducing my husband. Can’t you even control your own sister?”
“You have a father who sired you, a mother who raised you, and a brother who dotes on you. How did the Scott family manage to raise such a shameless daughter?”
Natalie threw Jared’s own past taunts back at him.
Before, when Joanna would complain that Natalie had bullied her, Jared would say, “What did your adoptive parents teach you? How to do vicious things and seduce men?”
It was never her fault. It was Joanna who gave up, yet in the end, she was the one who was always wrong.
Jared paused. Why did those words sound so familiar?
Joanna was so angry she was speechless.
Natalie had changed so much she was completely unrecognizable.
Looking at his expression, Natalie’s heart grew cold.
These were her relatives?
These weren’t relatives, and he certainly wasn’t a husband.
“The lot of you make me sick. You’re all hypocrites from head to toe.”
Natalie glanced at Sebastian. “Mr. Mistake, call me anytime you want a divorce.”
With that, Natalie turned and walked away, her back radiating defiance. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on.net
The mottled lights cast upon her retreating figure, making her look like a night sprite vanishing into the darkness.
Sebastian chased after her, catching up to her side. “You promised you would come back with me.”
She stopped and looked at his
persistence, exasperated. “I’m not going. I don’t particularly want to live under the same roof as you

She wanted to watch Joanna send them all to hell, one by one, while she reaped the
benefits. Natalie’s smile was mischievous.
Sebastian smiled too. So that was her plan.
Under the night sky, Sebastian looked handsome. His bangs had grown longer, with a few strands falling across his forehead, making his chiseled features seem ever more refined. This Sebastian still made her heart skip a beat.
But Sebastian was too deep, too calculating. She was no match for him.
However, at this point in this life, Sebastian no longer trusted Joanna as much. Could things change?
Perhaps they could, but she didn’t know how far things would go.
Joanna’s ambition was far greater than just marrying into a wealthy family and living a life of luxury.
She wanted to be a queen, and Sebastian, Marshall, and Mr. Wilson were all just stepping stones for her.
