Natalie shook her head, a faint smile ying on her lips that made her eyes sparkle. “Joanna, your mistake is wanting everything without working for it. You think you can win men over with your looks and use their status to climb thedder. There''s nothing wrong with ambition, but your mistake was wanting to drain Wendy''spany dry and use her as a stepping stone to get ahead."


    "Joanna, you actually seeded once. My own stupidity gave you the opening you needed."


    Joanna listened to her, a confused look on her face. What was she talking about? A cold gust of wind made her shiver, but Natalie stood firm, blocking the doorway.


    Her voice trembled as she asked, “Natalie, what do you mean by that?"


    Natalie just smiled and shook her head. “Nothing. I just think you''re quite something. Even the viins in a fairytale have more heart than you.”


    Joanna''s brow furrowed. Looking at that smile, she had a nagging feeling that Natalie knew something.


    "Natalie, you don''t have to be so sarcastic. Now move aside. I want to see Sebastian."


    Natalie didn''t budge. “Joanna, the matter of you having the housekeeper poison Grandma-we have video, we have evidence. You still have the nerve toe looking for Sebastian? Aren''t you afraid he''ll have you thrown in jail?"


    Joanna froze. Impossible. The housekeeper wouldn''t betray her.


    Then, a smile spread across her face—a confident, knowing smile.


    "Natalie, if Sebastian wanted me in jail, he would have sent me there the moment he


    caught the housekeeper. But look at me, I''m perfectly fine, aren''t I?"


    "I''ve told you many times. No matter what I do, Sebastian will forgive me unconditionally."


    Natalie felt a sharp pang in her heart. "Yes, sometimes I really envy you. You have a man who adores you like that, yet you still fool around with other men, destroying the very


    love he gave you with youvery


    own..


    ????


    hands." Content Belongs


    Joanna''s fists clenched, her knuckles white as she gripped the gift box.


    But her expression remained calm, her tone still proud. "Natalie, even if I cheated on him, Sebastian still loves me to death. He still came to the hospital to see me, to stay with me."


    "The pity y works wonders on him."


    “Sebastian''s feelings for me run deep. After all, I''m the one who saved his life."


    "Tsk." Natalie looked at her arrogant


    disy,pletely speechless. "You


    saved him? Joanna, when have you


    ever saved him? You''re the on esave


    who''s been trying to kill him all along."


    Joanna''s eyes darted away, and a wave of panic washed over her. "Natalie, what nonsense are you spouting? This is none of your business. Now get out of my way. I need to find Sebastian."


    Natalie still refused to move.


    "Joanna, I''m not letting you in today. The only ce you''re going is the police station. You''d better get lost and not ruin our lunch. If you spoil our meal, I won''t hesitate to use the evidence t have to send you to j No matter how capable Sebastian is, he can''t make hard evidence disappear."


    "Or, I could just expose everything you''ve done online. Your choice."


    Joanna stared at her coldly, but she had already found out what she needed to know.


    She had rushed here to find out how much Sebastian knew.


    The housekeeper was a smart woman; she wouldn''t betray her.


    The oue was just as she had expected. Even if Sebastian knew she had tried


    to poison his grandmother, he wouldn''t have her arrested.


    Joanna sneered. "Fine. I won''t go in. But I want to make one thing clear: as long as I''m around, you will never have Sebastian."
