Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1121

"Come back here! You crazy bitch, you don't fight fair! Come back and save me!" the man screamed.

Through the heavy, rolling fog, his vision was completely obscured. He could only hear Natalie's voice, unable to see her at all. But the wail of an approaching ambulance gave him a glimmer of hope that rescue was on the way.

Natalie stood by the riverbank, gazing into the murky night. Snow drifted down from the hazy sky. It was the second night of the New Year, and fireworks bloomed in the heavy overcast, casting a surreal, dreamlike glow. The beauty of the display did nothing to lift her spirits; tears shimmered in her eyes.

She took a deep breath. This was the work of Joanna and her new lover.

Sebastian had faked his death to escape, and now she was the next target.

A soft chuckle escaped Natalie's lips, a sound laced with anticipation and a fierce desire to survive.

This time, she wasn't going to die so easily.

The police and paramedics arrived shortly after. Natalie helpfully pointed toward the sinking car in the freezing river, and rescue workers quickly dove into the water.

Ten minutes later, the man was hauled onto the shore.

Natalie walked over to him. Supported by the paramedics, he was shivering violently. Barely conscious, his eyes snapped wide open the moment he saw her.

"You!" he shrieked. "You absolute psycho! I told you the truth! Why did you still toss me into the river? You malicious witch—no wonder people put a hit out on you!"

Natalie scoffed, rolling her eyes. "I kindly called an ambulance for you, and you're still cursing me? A vicious jerk like you deserves to drown."

She flashed him an innocently provocative blink. "With my slight build, why on earth would I jump into a freezing river to save a guy who was just trying to kill me?"

Her gaze practically screamed: Come and get me, if you have the guts.

The man froze, so furious he wanted to lunge at her. But the searing pain wracking his body completely drained his strength; he could barely stand without help.
