Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 947

Joanna stared at his smirking face, her heart pounding with uncertainty.

She wanted to know, too. Why had Sebastian changed his mind about marrying her?

She had hidden her true intentions so well. Was it because she had left him all those years ago?

She played along, asking in a small voice, "Sebastian, I want to know why. I really want to know why you won't divorce Natalie when you clearly like me!"

Sebastian's smile deepened, his eyes clear. "Because even your companionship when we were children had a purpose. The reason I was nice to you was simple: Timothy. He wanted me to be nice to you, so I was."

"My kindness was all an act for him. At first, I was genuinely good to you, because you did save my life."

"But then I was in a car accident that left me paralyzed and without my sight. My grandmother asked you to marry me then, but you were afraid of taking care of a cripple, so you ran away."

"But Natalie was willing to marry me at that time. During the hardest year of my life, she was the one who worked tirelessly to stay by my side, finding every possible way to help me regain hope. I’m not made of stone, Joanna. I can feel who is truly good to me. I can feel who is truly good to me and who isn't."

Sebastian raised an eyebrow, his sharp features twisting into a deep sneer. "Do you know why I was able to take over the Griffith family so smoothly? It's because I was so obedient to you that Timothy let his guard down. My kindness toward you was genuine in a way, because you had saved me."

"But more importantly, it was for the position of heir. Only by being completely devoted to you would Timothy Griffith ever relax his vigilance."

"And just as he let his guard down, he left the country for some woman. That was my perfect opportunity."

"Besides, you were by my side since childhood because of Timothy's orders."

"When I was fourteen, I overheard him instructing you. He told you to make me fall for you until I was wrapped around your little finger. From that moment on, I started treating you even better."
