Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1041

Maxwell froze, his eyes fixed on the dagger he’d dropped on the floor. The sight of it sent a chill down his spine.

Thank God, he could still be saved.

Sometimes, a person just has a sudden epiphany. Tonight, Natalie had given him that wake-up call.

"I'm sorry," he muttered, then picked up the dagger and left the villa.

Downstairs, Luna had been following Maxwell. After confirming he was gone, she sent Tyler to keep an eye on him before heading back up to check on Natalie.

She pushed the door open. "Natalie, are you okay?"

Natalie shook her head. "I'm fine. I managed to get through to him. I saved his life, and he saved mine."

Luna was furious. "Natalie, you're too kind. A guy like that doesn't deserve a second chance. We should have called the police and had him arrested. Attempted murder would have put him away for years."

Natalie smiled, a knowing look in her eyes. "Luna, sometimes you have to be a little kind. He was just being used by Joanna. She wants to kill, I want to save. Maybe by changing our respective roles, I can change my own fate in this life."

Thinking this, Natalie felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Luna was speechless. What was her sister talking about?

"Well, Natalie, you should get some rest. You have to be up early for the company tomorrow. I've already arranged for someone to take Mr. Hayes and his team to the lab. Herbert will have everything ready and will explain the project plans to them."

"He was so happy, by the way. That project has been on hold for years, and he was always complaining about you for it."

Natalie gave a wry smile. "The three years I took off weren't for nothing, you know."

Lying down, Natalie added, "Luna, you should get some sleep too."

Luna beamed, relieved that the Maxwell situation was finally resolved. "Okay, goodnight, Natalie!"

"Yeah," Natalie replied. "Remember to close the door for me."

Once Luna left, Natalie finally closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
