Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1058

“This project has to be completed within two years of its launch so we can recoup the funds quickly.”

Sebastian’s front had failed too. If he had gotten everything from Sebastian, he wouldn't be in such a difficult position now.

Over a decade of planning, over a decade of effort—all for nothing.

Joanna understood. She nodded. “Everything for after the New Year is already arranged, Maxwell. Don’t worry.”

Her voice was slightly hoarse. She was furious, too.

Maxwell Griffith was livid, glaring at Joanna. “I don’t know what kind of spell Natalie put on Maxwell, but not only did he not kill her, he’s now helping her.”

The more he thought about it, the angrier and more frustrated he became.

They had let their prize slip right through their fingers.

Joanna didn’t speak. Maxwell wanted to live a good life, too. No one so young wants to go to prison.

Natalie had simply seized on Maxwell's desires and convinced him to switch sides.

Joanna was on edge. “Let’s go back, Maxwell. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. We’ll deal with the rest after the holidays. After the New Year, we will make a brilliant comeback.”

Maxwell Griffith grunted in agreement. “Mhm.”

Joanna closed her eyes, but just then, her phone rang.

Joanna picked it up and saw it was Nora. Her heart sank; she had a bad feeling.

She quickly answered the call.

“Hello?”
