Chapter 1183

“Defeat?”

It was the most ridiculous word Joanna had ever heard.

She tilted her head up slightly. Despite her red eyes, she maintained her unwavering arrogance. She smirked at Natalie, a woman she had always viewed from a

pedestal.

“Natalie, the word ‘defeat’ doesn’t exist in my dictionary. One day, I’ll make sure you suffer everything I’ve had to endure.”

“You used to be hopelessly stupid. Did Sebastian ever thank you for your kindness? No. Not only did he never thank you, but he also hurt you deeply, and then he chose to be with me.”

Natalie looked at her smug expression and laughed. “He’s just a cheating jerk. You always loved picking up my trash, so you can have him.”

“And those brothers who doted on you like their lives depended on it, or the biological mother who treasured you to the bone—if you like them so much, you can have them too.”

“Do you think the world stops spinning without you people?”

“Walking away from all of you toxic, disgusting people has only made my life happier every single day.”

Joanna’s already fragile mental state shattered. Seeing Natalie so casually surrender everyone to her filled her eyes with burning rage.

Everything she had fought so hard to steal were just things Natalie didn’t want.

And after she stole them, she discarded them like trash, leading all those people to hate her to the core.

Every scheme she had painstakingly crafted had backfired completely.

Joanna shot a venomous glare at Natalie. “I really underestimated you.”

Natalie looked mildly surprised and raised an eyebrow. “So you never actually considered me a real opponent?”

No wonder.

Tsk. Her grandfather had always taught her never to underestimate any enemy.

Joanna froze. She said that, but in reality, every single thing she had done was entirely focused on destroying Natalie.

Deep down, she had always viewed Natalie as her ultimate rival, yet she was too blind to realize her own obsession.

Her target had always been Natalie.

She hadn’t even taken Sebastian that seriously.

She had been fighting a relentless

war against Natalie, but in her heart,

she only harbored contempt for her She never once a

that

Natalie was her greatest threat.

Because every time she lost to Natalie, she refused to acknowledge her own defeat.

Just how much did she look down on Natalie to harbor such delusional arrogance?

Joanna sneered. “Natalie, one day, I will take back everything I’ve lost.”

Natalie thought it was impossible.

Standing in the cold wind, Natalie’s gaze was ice-cold.

“Joanna, if you still had Wendy’s love, I might believe you could get everything back.

I saw how she used to put everything on the line just for you.”

“If you had just been a good

daughter to her, backed by her

billion-dollar fortune, pampered by those four brothers, and loved deeply by Sebastian, you would have been the happiest princess inthe world.”

“Do you have any idea how much I used to envy you? All you had to do was frown,

and the whole family would revolve around you.”

“Wendy was so worried about your mood that she deliberately belittled and insulted

me, just to make you happy.”

“Your four brothers used to play

cruel pranks on me just to see you smile took at how many people loved you you were drowning in privilege and didn’t even realize it.”

Joanna had taken a perfect hand and ruined it completely. And because of those very people, she was now suffering a thousand times the pain and betrayal.
