Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 723

Hearing this, Joanna felt a sense of relief. After Maxwell’s release, he was even more resentful and would surely push Natalie into an abyss from which she could never escape.

Natalie had barely been brought to the police station when Marshall and his grandmother arrived, braving the snowstorm with video evidence in hand. After giving her statement, Natalie was released.

Mrs. Wilson’s daughter was waiting at the entrance. Seeing Natalie walk out so easily infuriated her. “Natalie, you think you’re in the clear just because you’re out? Where is my mother? You’d better tell me the truth.”

Natalie looked at the girl’s face, so much like her mother’s, and her eyes reddened with anger. She stared at her intently. “Ms. Carrington, what reason would I have to harm your mother? Because she exposed my past?”

“I’m a victim in that, too. The things your mother exposed have nothing to do with me. Instead of suspecting me, you should be looking at your father and Sophia. After your mother exposed their affair…”

Evelyn Carrington cut her off coldly. “Sophia has always been good to me. My mother has a short temper and was never patient with me. She was always so demanding. She wasn't like Sophia. Sophia let me do whatever I wanted. If I wanted ice cream, she’d buy me ice cream. If I wanted to go to a club, she’d take me. When I wanted to try a cigarette, Sophia smoked one with me.”

“But my mother? All she ever did was force me to study, force me to grow up. I didn’t want any of that. My family is rich, why should I have to suffer like that?”

“Sophia was always kind to me. Whenever my mom and I fought, she was the one who comforted me. She’d say my mom just had a princess complex and that I should just ignore her and not stoop to her level. My dad and my mom were never a good match. I’m much happier with my dad and Sophia together. At least Sophia lets me live freely.”

“My mother just pushed me to the brink,” Evelyn Carrington said, her voice filled with anger and resentment.

Natalie was completely floored by her words.

So, in her mind, Sophia corrupting her was for her own good.
