This woman was clearly a yer. Everything about her, from her eyes to her figure,


    screamed maniption.


    Joanna sent Xenia a message.


    [Xenia, thank you. I''ll treat you to dinner sometime.]


    After that, she sent a message to Natalie, attaching the photo.


    [Natalie, aren''t you supposed to be so capable? Howe you can''t even hold on to Sebastian''s heart? You let this woman seduce him.]


    [I told you to get lost a long time ago, but you have no self-awareness. Sebastian


    takes me to all his business events, not you. Everyone knows I, Joanna, am Sebastian''s fiancée. You''re just my backup. And yet you still shamelessly stick by his side.]


    [Natalie, why don''t you just die?]


    [Natalie, you despicable woman, don''t you have any pride? Sebastian has insulted you and degraded you, yet you still won''t leave?]


    [Take your pride and get out of Yaro.]


    Natalie was already asleep and had no idea Joanna was bombarding her with messages.


    Joanna could be relentless when she was worked up, and she continued sending messages even after Sebastian had returned home.


    The first thing Sebastian did when he got back was go to the bedroom to check on Natalie.


    Seeing her already asleep, he felt a mix of helplessness and disappointment. She really wasn''t waiting up for him anymore.


    He stood by the bed, looking down at Natalie''s peaceful expression as she slept.


    She was wearing a silk blouse and sleeping on her side. The cor was slightly open, offering a tantalizing glimpse of the soft, full curves beneath. They were petite enough for hisrge hands to cup perfectly. His breath hitched, and his heart began to pound erratically.


    Her crimson lips, her steady breathing it all sparked his


    She didn''t have to do


    anything; just lying there was enough to make him want tokiss her


    Buzz... Buzz...


    Sebastian noticed Natalie''s phone vibrating continuously. He picked it up and was surprised to find it wasn''t password-protected.


    Natalie hated unlocking her phone, and since she had nothing to hide, she never bothered with a passcode.


    Sebastian saw the messages were from Joanna. For the past half an hour, Joanna had been relentlessly insulting Natalie.


    Sebastian''s expression grew colder. He knew Joanna was vicious, but he hadn''t realized she was also this disgusting.


    He scrolled up and saw the photo Joanna had sent Natalie—a picture of him sitting with Emily.


    Below it was a stream of abusive messages from Joanna.


    Sebastian''s hands clenched into fists. That damn Joanna was too malicious.


    He deleted the photo, not wanting Natalie to see it.


    After deleting it, Sebastian put the phone down and went to the bathroom to shower.


    But Joanna wasn''t ready to give up just because she hadn''t gotten a response.


    She messaged Horace, telling him to investigate Emily''s background.


    Sebastian was her support system

    Even a big shot like Mr. Song had sought her out personally because of her connection to Sebastian.


    Just then, Sophia came in with a sweet, restorative egg soup. Seeing Joanna on her phone, she grew angry. "Joanna, didn''t I tell you to lie down and rest? You can''t overexert yourself for the next couple of Can''t you think about your own health for a minute?"
