Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1167

Joanna offered a bitter smile. Perhaps it was true. Her current feelings for Sebastian mirrored the exact way she had fallen for Maxwell years ago.

Now that Sebastian was gone, her heart ached for his kindness.

Back then, she had used Sebastian as a stand-in for Maxwell. Was she now using Maxwell as a replacement for Sebastian?

She scoffed internally. How could fate play such a cruel joke on her?

What did she have to do to make her life go the way she wanted?

Shaking her head, she forced a laugh and explained, "Don't overthink it, Maxwell. I'm just exhausted. You tossed me around for hours last night, and my whole body aches."

She leaned shyly against his chest.

Maxwell thought about it and realized he had indeed been relentless. Reaching out, he pulled her back down against the pillows. "Then sleep a bit longer. I'll have room service bring up a hearty breakfast and some rich soup to help you recover."

Joanna shook her head. "I can't. We have work to do this morning. Robert Warner went to see Mr. Wilson last night. Knowing that old man, he's been cooped up in the hospital for way too long. He's definitely going to look for female companionship, and that's our chance."

"I won't give that old creep the opportunity to turn the tables on me. Jenna is keeping an eye on things."

Joanna picked up her phone from the nightstand and texted Jenna, instructing her to monitor Mr. Wilson's every move.

Jenna replied almost instantly.

"Miss, you're brilliant. Mr. Wilson couldn't hold back the second he got out. He assaulted the woman we arranged. I've already called the cops, and they're heading up to his room right now."

Seeing the message, Joanna smiled. She operated like a demon lurking in the shadows. The moment she struck, she destroyed her enemies' last shred of peace.

She walked through the ashes of morality, stepping on broken principles with every stride.
