Chapter 156

Joanna stumbled back, her face pale, her eyes welling with tears. A vicious hatred churned within her. She wanted to kill Natalie, right here, right now. The look of absolute confidence on Natalie’s face sent a chill of pure panic down her spine. Natalie had changed. She was no longer an easy target.
What did she know?
Natalie had said all she needed to. She calmly handed her credit card to the sales assistant to pay for Queena’s suit.
Queena finally understood. Natalie wasn’t a pushover anymore; she was fighting back. A wave of relief washed over her, and her voice was thick with emotion. “Natty, you’ve finally grown up. You’re not letting them walk all over you.”
Natalie squeezed her hand. “Silly, I was never a pushover. I just held back because I saw them as family. But everyone’s patience has a limit.”
Queena beamed. “This is great! Now I can go back to my retreat without worrying about you.”
Natalie smiled, taking her card back from the assistant. “Let’s go.”
Queena shot one last glare at Joanna. That woman may have been lucky in life, but she was rotten to the core. Her fate was already sealed; she was as good as dead. And Queena couldn’t waste her energy on a dead person. As her eyes swept past Yvonne, she paused, her gaze lingering on the other woman’s stomach.
The look made Yvonne deeply uncomfortable. She instinctively covered her belly with her hands. “What are you looking at? I’m pregnant! You better not try to harm my baby!”
Queena just sneered. “With all the sins you’ve committed, you should focus on doing some good deeds. Stop creating more bad karma.”
“Don’t you dare leave!” Joanna suddenly shouted, blocking Natalie’s path.
Natalie frowned. “What else do you want?”
Joanna held up the black card triumphantly. “I want you to stay and watch me spend Sebastian’s money.”
Natalie looked at her as if she were insane. “Are you an idiot? You’re that proud of spending your lover’s money? Maybe I should set up a livestream so everyone can see how shameless a mistress can be.” Read complete versıon only at.net
“You Joanna stomped her foot, furious. When had this woman become so sharp tongued? “You’re just jealoust she declared with a smuggrin. All she had to do was act pitiful, and that fool Sebastian would give her anything she wanted.
“Fine,” Natalie said, surprising her. “Go ahead. I’ll watch. I’ll watch you make a fool of yourself.”
Joanna’s smile widened. “Yvonne,

The sales assistant’s eyes lit up. “Of course, miss! Right away!” Queena and Natalie sat down on a nearby bench to watch the show. “That’s your man’s money she’s spending Queena murmured.
“Hey, don’t say that,” Natalie corrected her quietly. “He’s her man, not mine, will never get back together with Sebastian. I gave my Fall when I loved him, and now the I’m leaving, I’ll forget him
