Chapter 1125
Queena: [I told you, your second act is going to be flawless. You’ll meet a man who loves you unconditionally, and you’ll have beautiful kids. But I can’t read my own future. I don’t know who I’ll end up with, and you know my family is completely broken. Unless my future partner gives me a perfect family, I’ll never have one. And with my luck, finding someone who genuinely cares about me is a long shot.]
Natalie: [Oh, right. You mentioned before that you can read everyone else’s destiny but your own. But Queena, you do so much good in the world. Good karma will find you.]
Queena: [I hope so. But right now, my only priority is making a mountain of cash and making my deadbeat dad regret everything he’s ever done.]
Natalie sighed. Queena’s father had been relentlessly cruel to her. It was the reason she hustled so hard-money was her only source of security.
Natalie felt the exact same way. Wealth was a shield. That was why she pushed herself so hard to build her empire in this lifetime.
Natalie: [Sending you a massive hug, gorgeous! Let’s make billions together. We ride together, we die together.]
Queena: [Yes! I’m flying back on the 8th. Grandpa and Grandma are doing great, by the way. Don’t worry about them. They’re having a blast over here, surrounded by positive energy and great company.]
Natalie: [That’s a relief. At least they’re safe from being used against me.]
Queena: [Exactly. Keep fighting your battles. I can’t intervene directly, but call me if you need backup. You’re walking a very dangerous line right now, so please watch your back.]
Natalie: [I will!]
Queena: [Goodnight, beautiful! Love you!]
Natalie: [Goodnight!]
Natalie set her phone down and closed her eyes. Tomorrow was the third day of the New Year. She could finally get some proper rest.
Thinking about Queena’s warning of impending danger, a faint smile graced her lips. It wasn’t just danger; it was a storm about to break.
Joanna’s retaliation was coming, and it would be vicious. Despite the swirling thoughts, Natalie’s exhaustion won out, and she fell into a deep sleep within seconds.
Meanwhile, back at the hospital.
The ungodly stench from Joanna and Maxwell’s room had finally drawn the nurses’ attention. After a thorough examination, the doctors diagnosed them with a violent case of food poisoning.
They had essentially been poisoned by contaminated food, leading to the violent vomiting, explosive diarrhea, and the suffocating odor.
The ordeal dragged on deep into the night, leaving them utterly hollowed out and bedridden.
“Aaaagh…” Joanna moaned, her face ghastly pale, her eyes vacant. This holiday season was literally torturing her to death.
Even stripped of all her physical strength, a fiery, agonizing rage burned inside her.
Today was hands down the most horrifying day of her life. She had never been so thoroughly humiliated. She was the pampered princess of the Scott family idolized and adored. Yet today, she had endured the disgusted glares and gagging of the hospital staff. She wanted to claw their eyes out.
Or at least erase their memories so they would never remember what had happened.
Who had the audacity to poison them?
The most infuriating part was that when she demanded to see the
security footage, the screen showed nothing but static. Someone had slipped into their room, tampered with their midnight snack, sneaked out, and wiped the servers
ean.
Even her attempts to recover the deleted files had failed.
When did it happen?
Joanna’s mind immediately went to the janitor But he had been wearing a standard uniform, a medical mask, and had kept his head down. Aside from a brief glimpse of his eyes tre was a ghost.
