Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1016

“How could you be so careless?”

Maxwell Griffith’s whole body trembled with rage, his face turning pale.

Joanna had been slapped by him.

She stared at him, her face full of hatred. For this man, she had endured so much hardship over the years.

But the moment he failed, he hit her!

Her own anger flared. “Maxwell Griffith, is it because you’re so sure I love you that you dare to be so arrogant, crossing my boundaries again and again?”

“I’ve told you countless times, you can yell at me, you can get angry, but you are never to lay a hand on me!”

“Do you have any idea how Sebastian treated me? The way he cared for me… you can’t even begin to compare.”

“He gave me everything good, but what have you done to me?”

“My company now, and your company now, are built from the scraps that fell from between Sebastian’s fingers.”

“I did all this, and what I get in return is a slap from you?”

Joanna’s voice was filled with anguish as she questioned him. She hated men who hit women.

“Maxwell Griffith, only useless men hit women.”

She must have been blind to have wasted so many years on this father and son duo.

If she had known this would be the outcome, she should have just married Sebastian back then.

Then, she would be enjoying endless wealth and luxury right now.

She could have even used Sebastian as a stepping stone to become the queen of the business world.

Maxwell was furious. Every word Joanna said enraged him, but then he remembered she was still useful and realized he had been too impulsive.

He did have feelings for Joanna. Over the years, the small bits of warmth she offered were what kept him going.

He pulled her into a tender embrace, his large hand gently patting her back in comfort. “Joanna, don’t be upset. I was just so angry. We’ve been planning this for so long. If it all fails because of a photo, then over a decade of our hard work will go down the drain.”
