Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 420

“Having dinner with a drama queen like you? I'd probably choke. I'll leave that pleasure to the superstar by your side.”

Natalie turned to Susan. “Susan, let's go.”

Robert's voice was frigid. “Did I say you could leave?”

“Oh? And what are you going to do about it?” Natalie shot back without an ounce of fear.

Robert, a man accustomed to being the center of attention, carried an air of natural authority. He fixed Natalie with a warning look. “I want you to apologize. Apologize to Joanna.”

Natalie laughed, her tone light but dismissive. “Apologize? Why don't you ask Joanna if she dares to accept my apology? Do you really think a woman who schemes and plots to have me killed day and night would dare to accept an apology from me?”

Joanna's heart pounded. The Natalie before her was truly fearless. She remembered Natalie's words from earlier—that she would drag them all to hell.

She was probably serious.

Struggling to her feet, Joanna looked pathetic, her hand throbbing with pain, but she forced a smile. “It's not necessary. Natalie didn't do it on purpose. She's just upset about being kicked out of the Scott family for trying to frame me. She's all alone now, so it's understandable that she'd want to take her anger out on me.”

“Wow, what a massive serving of crocodile tears! You're really something, Joanna.”

Susan looked at Mr. Warner. “Congratulations, Mr. Warner. You've won yourself a master manipulator. Be careful, she'll suck you dry.”

Robert's brow furrowed, and a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes as he looked at Susan, but he said nothing.

Joanna, however, shot Susan a venomous glare. The damn fool. When did she learn to talk back like Natalie?

After her brisk speech, Natalie took Susan's arm and left.

Robert pursed his lips. Natalie's image was far superior to Joanna's, but Joanna was gentler.

Joanna had been involved in a few scandals before, but they had all been spun in her favor later on.

Some of it was manufactured hype, but if any of it was true, the consequences would be severe.

Joanna hadn't expected to be so thoroughly shut down by Natalie's threat. For once, she was smart enough not to argue.

But someone else would speak for her. Yvonne stomped her foot angrily. “Mr. Warner, don't listen to Natalie's nonsense. She's the adopted daughter of the Scott family. After they threw her out, she has nothing. She's just jealous of Joanna's success.”
