Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1163

Herbert: [Don't sweat it. There are four guys and two girls in the lab, plus me. Every single one of them is rock-solid trustworthy.]

Natalie didn't share his unwavering confidence. She knew Joanna was like toxic mold—she seeped into every crack and crevice. If this project launched smoothly, Joanna would never be able to pry back control of the Griffith Group.

[Understood. Thanks for holding down the fort lately, Herbert.]

Herbert: [What's there to thank me for? This is my dream too. If you hadn't put everything on hold for that scumbag Sebastian, this system would have hit the market ages ago and saved so many lives.]

On her side of the screen, Natalie offered an apologetic smile. She set her phone down and picked up a book from her desk, reading quietly while she waited for Luna and Marshall to return.

The room was peacefully quiet, punctuated only by the occasional rustle of turning pages.

About forty minutes later, Natalie's shoulders began to ache. She put the book down, rolled her shoulders, and checked the time. Why wasn't Luna back yet?

Just as she was about to call her, a knock echoed through the room.

Knock, knock.

Natalie smiled. "Come in."

Luna pushed the door open, looking flawless in a sleek black blazer that accentuated her sharp figure. Her long hair was tied back in a crisp ponytail, giving her a fierce, capable edge as she strode over. "Natalie, Robert went to see Mr. Wilson."

Natalie wasn't surprised in the slightest. Mr. Wilson was the only person Robert could realistically turn to right now, especially since the older man harbored the deepest hatred for Joanna.

Still, Joanna had moved with terrifying speed, snatching up the Warner family's key projects before anyone could blink.

"Robert got Joanna pregnant but refused to claim the baby," Natalie mused. "After being humiliated like that, she's never going to let him off the hook."
