Chapter 194
Joanna: [Yvonne, leave this to me. I’m going to ruin her.]
This video was a godsend.
Yvonne: [Alright, I’ve sent it to you. Do what you want with it.]
Joanna: [Okay.]
Joanna decided she would go see Sebastian first thing in the morning.
…
As the first light of dawn broke, Natalie slowly opened her eyes, ready to greet the beautiful day. The mornings here were so peaceful.
But just as she was soaking in the tranquil morning glow, the phone on her nightstand shattered the silence.
With a sigh, Natalie sat up and answered.
“Hello?”
“Natalie,” Sebastian’s voice came through the line, “you wanted to talk about the divorce. Come back to the house now.”
Natalie sprang out of bed. “Sebastian, are you serious? You’re finally willing to get
a divorce? You’re not just messing with me, are you?”
There was a long pause on the other end. “I’m serious.”
And then he hung up.
“Yes!” Natalie cheered, rushing to get ready.
At Sebastian’s house, he put down the phone and sat on the sofa, his expression impassive.
The chef was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. Half an hour later, the dining table was laden with all of Natalie’s favorite dishes. He hadn’t known what she liked, so he had asked the chef to replicate the meals Natalie used to make for him. Only then did he realize that everything she cooked had been his favorite foods.
“Sir, breakfast is ready,” the chef announced.
Sebastian waved him away.
After the chef left, Sebastian figured Natalie would be arriving soon. He watched the door with a hint of anticipation.
A few minutes later, the sound of the keypad lock clicked.
A faint smile touched Sebastian’s lips.
But when the door opened and Joanna walked in, his face instantly darkened.
“Joanna, how do you have the code to my house?”
Joanna smiled, her voice gentle. “Sebastian, have you forgotten? You bought this place as our marital home, but then you married Natalie instead. The code has always been my birthday.”
Sebastian paused. Had that really happened?
His gaze turned cold and menacing. “I have something to do. You should leave.”
But Joanna didn’t leave. Instead, she walked further into the room, her face a mask of sorrow. She had
dressed up this morning in an outfit
she knew he liked. She was a master With her eyes red-rimmed,
actres
she asked, sebastian, if Natalie hadn’t come back, you would have
married me.”

A flicker of mockery crossed Sebastian’s face. “Joanna, it would never have been you. You’ve been the cuckoo in the nest for years, scheming to drive Natalie away.”
“Even without Natalie, I would not have married you.”
This woman’s heart was never truly with him. He had indulged her, but he wasn’t
a fool. When he couldn’t walk and couldn’t see, she left. She only came back after he had built his empire.
Joanna say the derision in his eyes, a look as sharp as a blade, slicing her confidence to shreds. After all these years of working to win him over Natalie had completely destroyed her place in his heart
In disbelief, Joanna stepped closer and spoke with deep emotion, “Sebastian, have you forgotten? We grew up together. I was by your side during your darkest times. You said you were going to marry me Why won’t you admit it now? Is it because you’ve fallen in love with Natalie?”
Her voice rose with agitation as she deliberately sat on his lap, her arms wrapping
tightly around his neck.
At that exact moment, Natalie walked in.
