Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 585

Joanna listened to Wendy’s threat with fury. If her father didn’t get a divorce, her mother’s years of waiting would be for nothing. She couldn't let her father wrong her mother again. “Fine! We’ll tolerate it a little longer.”

Joanna opened the door, and Colin helped a weakened Wendy inside.

She asked pointedly, “Mom, Colin, if this house gets auctioned off, where will we live?”

Seeing Colin, whom she still needed to use, she made a point of calling Wendy “Mom.”

But Wendy was done playing games.

She laughed mockingly. “Well, well, Joanna. Calling me Mom again? Weren’t you just avoiding it? Don’t call me that. It’s not like you’re my real daughter anyway. Go find that slut of a mother of yours.”

“Hearing you call me ‘Mom’ makes me sick.”

After all, her mother truly was a slut.

A thick, murderous intent flashed in Joanna’s eyes. She had insulted her mother again.

“Mom, you must have been too upset earlier and misheard me. How could I not call you that? You’re the mother who raised me, so you’ll always be my mother.”

Joanna glanced at Colin. The fool still had his uses, so she would deal with him later.

Wendy’s tears flowed freely. In the past, Joanna had always been two-faced like this, manipulating them against Natalie, all so she could marry Sebastian.

By driving Natalie away, she would become the sole heiress of the Scott family.

Colin looked at Joanna with expectant eyes.

Joanna froze for a second. When had Colin learned to counterattack like this?

Seeing Joanna’s silence, Colin turned his hopeful gaze to Nathan. “Dad, why aren’t you saying anything? You’re going to help Mom, right?”

Nathan’s face darkened. “Colin, this isn’t something I can help with just because I want to. I’m divorcing your mother tomorrow. You and your three brothers will go with her. All four of you chose professions that just burn through money. I can’t afford you.”

“What?” Colin was stunned. “Dad, we haven’t even found Jared’s body yet, and you want to divorce Mom? The moment her company goes under, you demand a divorce. Is this how you repay her for how well she’s treated your entire family all these years?”

“Hmph! You useless brat. When your mother got into trouble, why didn’t you do anything to help? I’m an old man, what can I do? It’s your own fault for not studying harder and choosing to be a good-for-nothing instead.” Nathan was merciless. The company was his lifeline, and no one was going to touch it.
