"Ahhh!" Joanna shrieked, smashing the fish tank in a fit of rage.
The tank shattered, sending water and fish spilling across the floor. The stranded fish flopped and struggled for life as water instantly pooled everywhere.
Her shoes were soaked with icy water, but in her fury, she didn''t care. “Natalie, Natalie, how dare you... I''ll kill you."
"Your family... I''ll take them out, one by one. You crave a family, don''t you? I''ll make sure you never have one. You want your four brothers'' affection? I''ll steal it all away, so you''ll spend your life unloved."
"And don''t even dream of getting Sebastian''s affection."
Exhausted, Joanna stood hunched over, gasping for breath.
Anger and failure filled her chest. Her scheme had been aimed at Marshall, but in the end, she was the one who had been outyed.
She had always been cunning, effortlessly manipting everyone around her. This time, she had meticulously nned a conspiracy to ruin Marshall, believing everything was under her control.
But she never imagined she would be the one being manipted. Her face was as pale as a sheet, her eyes zing with fury and disbelief.
Was this battle of wits and counter-schemes going to end in her own humiliating defeat?
Joanna copsed onto the floor in a rage.
The fire in her heart refused to die down. Perhaps it was the shame of Natalie witnessing her at her most unhinged that fueled her intense anger and humiliation.
Natalie knew her temperament all too well and had deliberatelye to provoke her.
Outside the door, Colin watched Joanna''s meltdown with a cold gaze.
Out of sight, Joanna''s expression was monstrously contorted.
Before, he would have felt sorry for her, rushed in tofort her, and spent all his allowance on expensive gifts to make her happy.
Thinking back on his past behavior, he realized he had been an absolute fool.
All his family''s genuine care meant nothing to Joanna.
In fact, she acted as if they owed it to her.
How utterly shameless.
Colin turned away indifferently and headed downstairs to catch up with Natalie.
But by the time he got downstairs, Natalie had already driven away.
Snow swirled through the city, the kes falling like shredded cotton from the sky. Colin''s heart grew colder with each passing moment.
Natalie would never forgive him and his brothers. And she would never forgive Sebastian either.
From the very beginning, she was the one who had been hurt the most.
Now, all he wished for was her happiness.
As for Sebastian, he didn''t deserve her.
He deserved a disgusting woman like Joanna.
Meanwhile.
Wendy had received the two hundred million back from Joanna.
Wendy and Lindsay exchanged satisfied smiles.
Lindsay looked at Wendy, whose expression had finally rxed, and said with a grin, "Wendy, you''re incredible, ying Joanna like a fiddle But Wendy, what''s your n for the divorce? I just want toremind you that a our age, mance isnt the most important thing? You need to know when to hold on and when to let go. Clinging to something that isn''t yours will only hurt you more."
Wendy''s eyes twinkled. "Don''t worry,

He wouldn''t get a single penny of her assets.
With the sale of herpany, Nathan''spany would go bankrupt as well.
Just then, Yeri walked in, smiling. "Ma''am, they''re here again to
