Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 1197

Wendy's temper flared at the mere mention of Nathan's name. "Yes. He reaped what he sowed. His health is deteriorating by the day, and it's high time he paid the price for everything he's done."

Over the years, she had basked in the illusion of a happy marriage. But it was precisely because she thought she had it all that Nathan's betrayal had cut so deep!

She had poured her heart into the wrong man, turning herself into a complete laughingstock.

But hitting rock bottom had taught her one crucial lesson: reputation was worthless.

So what if her reputation was in ruins? It just meant a few people were laughing behind her back.

So what if people called her a washed-up has-been? She wasn't living her life for them. Her own happiness and peace of mind were all that mattered!

If she hadn't been so obsessed with saving face, she never would have looked down on the daughter she had dragged back from the countryside. Her blatant contempt for Natalie back then felt like a stinging slap to her own face now.

A few months ago, Natalie was just a country bumpkin they all loved to mock.

But now, and in the years to come, Natalie was destined to dominate the business world.

...

Joanna returned home and immediately locked herself in her bedroom.

She curled up in her sheets, sobbing hysterically.

Her agonizing wails were accompanied only by the howling spring winds battering against her window. The gale was so fierce it set her nerves on edge.

She cried for half an hour before sheer exhaustion pulled her into a deep, heavy slumber, where she plummeted into a vivid dream.

When she woke up, her eyes were red and swollen. Her radiant complexion stood out against the pink duvet as she stared blankly at the ceiling. The events of the day had played out flawlessly in her dream.

Except, in her dream, the disaster had struck a rival company, not hers.

Another scene had played out in her mind: with her brilliant guidance, Maxwell had snatched up a piece of land owned by Taylor Woodard for pennies. They developed it into a lavish hot spring resort that raked in millions.

But in reality, she was one step too late. That coveted plot of land was already registered under Natalie's name.
