Natalie gave a satisfied smile. Seeing her smile, as radiant as a summer bloom, the rage in Sebastian''s heart once again piled up like a mountain.


    Sebastian turned to Joanna, his voice devoid of emotion. "Let''s go. If we wait any longer, the pain might be gone by the time we get to the hospital, and my trip would be for nothing."


    Joanna was speechless. He knew she was faking it.


    "Sebastian, why are you treating me like this too?" Joanna was on the verge of tears


    from anger.


    Even though Sebastian was taking her to the hospital, his words were a sharp p in the face. It felt like he was defending Natalie.


    Was she overthinking it?


    She looked down and saw Natalie smiling.


    Natalie thought to herself that Sebastian was finally seeing things clearly.


    Joanna left in humiliation.


    Marshall said intentionally, "Great, now we don''t have to eat with Joanna. It''s disgusting, I was afraid I''d catch something!"


    Marshall came from a well-mannered, privileged background. For him to say something so harsh showed how much he truly despised Joanna.


    Joanna spun around, ring at Marshall with fury. *You bastard, just you wait.* Seeing the murderous look in her eyes, Natalie felt a flicker of concern for Marshall. She warned him, “Marshall, she''s got her sights on you now. Be careful.” "Natalie, her methods are so underhanded. I''m honestly a bit scared of her. After all, we''re decent people, we wouldn''t stoop to her level of dirty tricks.”


    His words made Natalieugh wryly. "Marshall, I can''t agree with you there."


    He was capable of it. In their past life, he had done such things, including to her. The Marshall of this life wasn''t as frivolous as thest; he had matured a lot.


    He no longer acted recklessly. In his past life, his arrogance and his belief that money could solve any problem led to his swift demise. This time, he seemed to have grown up.


    His ignorance and arrogance were exactly what Joanna wanted, because Marshall was a sharp weapon.


    Since her schemes against Marshall had failed, she had settled for Maxwell instead.


    Marshall thought about his past behavior. It was true, he would have done things like that before.


    But he had changed. Andtely, that nightmare had been haunting him constantly. "It''s terrifying, Natalie. I have that same nightmare every night. My hands and feet are thrown into a sewer. I dream I die a horrible death."


    Natalie''s hand, holding a piece of fish cake, paused mid-air. She knew he had died a horrible death.


    But she had only read about it in the news.


    In her past life, her heart had been entirely devoted to Sebastian, and she had paid little attention to the outside world.


    "Don''t overthink it. Nothing will happen to you. But Maxwell might be in trouble. He''s getting out soon."


    Natalie didn''t know what Maxwell would do. If he still chose Joanna, then they would be the ones in danger.


    Marshall knew Maxwell was getting


    out in two days, but he wasn''t worried. Theirpany was in


    crisis and Maxwell would be too


    busy dealing with business matters


    to cause trouble:


    Natalie suddenly asked, “Marshall, when does construction start on thatnd Joanna bought?"


    Marshall had been waiting for this to blow up. He said excitedly, "Not yet, Natalie It''s been snowing recently, so they haven''t started. Probably in about a month. But they''ve been pulling in a lot of investmenttely."


    Natalie mused, a half-month had passed.


    Wendy''spany issues were about to explode. She smiled. “Next, Joanna won''t just have a


    stomachache, This will probably take half her life. Let''s just waft and watch the show."
