Chapter 1164
Natalie shook her head. “There’s no way he can make a comeback, and Mr. Wilson won’t get his revenge either. Why would Joanna ever let them succeed?”
Luna’s eyes widened in shock. “Is Joanna really that formidable?”
Natalie narrowed her eyes. “Next up on the chopping block are Julian Cooper and Adrian Kingsley. As far as Joanna is concerned, Sebastian is dead, which means she won’t let his best friends’ fortunes slip through her fingers either. I tried warning Julian last time, but I doubt he took a single word of it seriously.”
Remembering Julian’s arrogant, punchable face suddenly made the delicious BBQ lose its appeal.
Some people were just naturally repulsive. Even the thought of him triggered a wave of disgust.
Luna sneered. “Those two guys are awful anyway. Especially Julian-he’s always flirting outrageously with Emily Parker. I even pulled their hotel records. The worst part is that Julian actually had the nerve to try and set Miss Parker up with Sebastian!”
Natalie was speechless.
Great. Now the food really tasted like cardboard.
“Let’s stop talking about them. Go wash up and get some sleep. I have an early morning run to the lab tomorrow.”
Luna smiled and stood up. “Got it, Natalie. I’m heading out. And don’t worry, Mr. Spencer made it home safe and sound.”
“Mm! I’m not worried. Marshall is terrified of dying, so I’m sure he had a small army of bodyguards shadowing him the whole time.”
Recalling the raw panic on Marshall’s face earlier, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for him.
She scrolled through short videos on her phone while finishing off the ribs.
Today’s top trending news was all about Robert being officially blacklisted from the entertainment industry. A landslide of scandals had just broken-allegations of him exploiting female staff, harassing his assistants, and much worse. The internet was on fire.
The comment section was an absolute warzone.
*Hubby, how could you? I loved you so much, and you broke my heart doing this sick stuff!*
*I only bought tickets for this movie because of Robert. He’s such a massive letdown.*
*It’s not our idol’s fault! He just got dragged down by that toxic curse, Joanna! She ruined him and ripped him right off his pedestal!*
Natalie read through the comments and shook her head slightly. Robert had commanded a massive fanbase but he was hemorrhaging followers by the second. That was the terrifying reality of Joanna-she could obliterate a man’s future and tear his family apart without ever getting a speck of dirt on her own hands.
After scrolling for a while, she finished her plate of BBQ, suddenly feeling like it wasn’t quite enough.
Maybe Luna had bought too little after all.
Grabbing her glass of water, she took a sip before heading to the bathroom to brush
her teeth and wind down for the night.
In the bathroom, Natalie stared at
her reflection,
comespite her pale
complexion she still passessed youthful, undeniable beauty,
especially when she smiled.
It was just…
She decided not to overthink it. Everyone was bound to their own fate.
Mr. Wilson was no saint either. The woman who had infected him with that nasty disease was the very same girl he had ruthlessly abused years ago.
Now that she had returned for her vengeance, he simply had to choke down the consequences.
Pushing the thoughts aside, Natalie finished brushing her teeth and crawled into bed.
As soon as Maxwell and Joanna got home, they tore into each other in the shower, passion running high.
Joanna was exhausted, leaning limply against Maxwell’s muscular chest. When it came to stamina, Maxwell was an absolute beast, His relentless dominance had awakened a fierce hunger inner. Being with Robert had felt like a chore by comparison; Robert simply lacked Maxwell’s raw power and skill to take her to the absolute edge of ecstasy.
Seeing how completely spent she was, Maxwell chuckled darkly. “Joanna, how
come you aren’t snapping photos to piss off Natalie this time?”
