Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 973

Wendy stared at her son, stunned. Hadn’t he understood a word she’d just said?

Zenobia was never going to forgive him.

Without a word, she picked up the thermos, opened it, and took a sip of hot water to soothe her throat. But the searing pain was still there. Her throat felt like it was lined with glass, every word a searing effort.

Her tone was definitive. “No.”

Jerome’s emotions flared, but the sharp pain in his legs kept his mind clear. His mother's word echoed in his head.

The single word sent him spiraling. He closed his eyes in agony, filled with hatred and regret, but it was too late for any of it.

Wendy sighed beside him. “Jerome, don’t be upset. You need to get healthy so you can handle other things. Stop thinking about it for now and focus on healing your legs.”

She had humbled herself, cutting off her own ambitions to make Joanna and Nathan lower their guard. Now, her company was thriving.

From now on, she would keep a low profile and avoid drawing attention to herself.

Joanna wanted to climb the ladder, but with her watching from the shadows, how high could she really get?

Meanwhile, Timothy, having learned of Sebastian's accident, called Maxwell Griffith.

“Maxwell, it’s time to come back. I’ve arranged everything. Joanna didn’t disappoint you. Sebastian was in an accident and has been taken to the hospital. Coincidentally, it’s a hospital owned by the Griffith Group. The private jet is on its way to pick you up. Be ready.”

Maxwell Griffith was thrilled. “Got it, Dad.”

If one listened closely, his voice was astonishingly similar to Sebastian’s.

After his surgery, Sebastian was secretly wheeled away.

Sean, watching from the shadows, was shocked and quietly followed them.

Natalie slept for three days.
