Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 623

Natalie met his scrutinizing gaze and faltered, realizing that talking about work had made her momentarily forget what he'd done.

Her expression turned serious. "Mr. Griffith, my business has nothing to do with you. I won't partner with you. You're a cunning old fox, and I'll only work with people I can trust. I don't trust you, so there will be no partnership."

Natalie's stance was clear. The project was already quite mature; if she hadn't put it on hold to spend time with him, it would have launched a year ago.

Now that her senior colleague was back, she had picked it up again.

Once suspicion is born, the verdict is already in.

She had exhausted all her passion for this man; now, all that remained was disappointment and disillusionment.

Sebastian watched her intently and asked with a smile, "Who is it you trust the most? Matthew?"

Natalie nodded, admitting it freely. "Yes. I trust his character. I've spent some time with him, and I can tell he's a good person."

A flicker of rage ignited in Sebastian's eyes. So Matthew was a good person, and he wasn't.

That's what Natalie thought.

But how did she know Joanna had someone backing her?

It seemed she knew a lot about things that were yet to happen.

"Natalie, have I ever told you that I will never divorce you?"

"Either you work with me, or no one works on this project." His magnetic voice carried an invisible, domineering power that could pierce one's heart.

Hearing his tyrannical tone, Natalie was furious. "Sebastian, what's the point of this? You wanted a divorce so many times, and I finally agreed to give you what you want. Now you've changed your mind? What are you trying to do?"

"Not getting a divorce is what I want to do now. Natalie, everyone makes wrong choices. I was wrong before."

Sebastian took off his coat, placed it on the sofa, and said calmly, "Natalie, if you won't come home with me, then I'll stay here. Have you ever heard of a married couple living apart?"

"Tch!" Natalie scoffed, almost laughing at his audacity. "Sebastian, you are shameless. Let's see how long you can use the 'married couple' excuse. I have a new one for you: I don't want you anymore. So get out, or I'll have Joanna come pick you up."

Sebastian frowned, seeing only cold indifference in her eyes. It angered him. "Natalie, didn't you say you loved me? Is this how you love me?"

He clenched his fists. He knew how much she had loved him before.

She would be so happy just to have him home for dinner, greeting him at the door.

She'd take his coat with a smile and brew him a cup of tea.

It’s incredibly soothing; he loved it and would have a cup every night before bed. It always helped him sleep peacefully.
