Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 799

Horace's face was pale. Looking at the frail Joanna, his heart ached as he slowly shook his head. "Ms. Scott, he refused. He said if you're sick, I should find a doctor. It was a firm rejection. And from the sound of his voice, he was very angry. Mr. Griffith must be in a bad mood."

A flicker of disappointment crossed Joanna's eyes. Hearing Horace make excuses for Sebastian, her expression soured.

But it was what she had expected. She was already keenly aware that Sebastian didn't care about her anymore.

You win some, you lose some. She just never dreamed that Sebastian's affection would vanish so quickly.

Sebastian was her greatest asset. Now he was one of the wealthiest men in the country. If she could marry him, it would be her ticket to the top.

"Sebastian, you've failed me after all," Joanna muttered, a mix of tears and laughter in her voice. How had she ended up here? She had beaten Wendy, beaten Natalie, but she had lost the best thing she had: Sebastian.

He was the only person who had been genuinely good to her all these years, her one strong pillar of support.

Even the man she loved had never treated her so well. She knew that man was just using her, but she let him do it willingly. When she was sad, he was never there to comfort her.

A look of grim determination flashed in Joanna's eyes. She looked at Horace and said, "Make the arrangements. Next time we meet with Sebastian, we have to use the hypnotist. Make him obey our every command. All the money I've earned over the years was lost on Wendy's company. I was too careless."

Thinking about it made Joanna tremble with rage. She thought she had won, that she had picked up what Wendy had thrown away.

Wendy's company was in debt. Joanna had assumed that once Wendy paid it off, she could acquire the company, gain its technology and client base, and bring it back from the brink within two years, making it even more profitable.

She had calculated everything perfectly, except for one thing: human nature. She never thought the technicians would just leave, or that the partners would suddenly cancel their contracts.
