Chapter 1054

Joanna's fists clenched. Maxwell had lied to her!

Damn him. With his impulsive nature, he was definitely capable of killing Natalie.

"I heard the person Maxwell was supposed to kill was Natalie?" Joanna asked, fishing for information.

"That's right. The person he was supposed to kill was me. But I talked some sense into him, and he changed his mind. He didn't kill me. Joanna, I'm not dead. I'm sure that's enough to send you into another rage." Natalie's cold voice came from the doorway.

Joanna's head snapped toward the entrance. Natalie was in a wheelchair, her cool, effortless grace and breathtaking features made Joanna seethe with envy.

Luna pushed her into the room. She really wasn't dead!

Before coming, Joanna had considered the possibility that Natalie was alive, but she chose not to pursue it. As long as she seized the opportunity, she could take Yves's company.

She had helped Yves scheme against Marshall last time precisely to ensure Marshall wouldn't help him again.

But Marshall had come anyway.

Joanna's expression darkened. How dare Maxwell lie to her. He was asking for it!

She sneered, taunting, "Natalie, so you're not dead! If you're not dead, why did you report Maxwell? Why make the Spencer Group's stock plummet?"

Joanna deliberately tried to turn the tables, a sinister smile on her face as she looked at Natalie.

As Natalie met her dark gaze, she noticed it too. Joanna was truly different from before.

Could it be...?

"You were the one who reported Maxwell. I let him go. Why would I report him?" Natalie countered with a smile.

Her smile was bright, as if it could melt the winter chill outside the window.

A tremor went through Joanna. She hated this bright, captivating version of Natalie. Joanna fell silent and glanced at Maxwell Griffith.

Maxwell Griffith was at a loss. The Spencer family of Yaro was worth billions. They couldn't fight them head-on right now; they had to play the long game.

He gave Joanna a slight shake of his head.

Joanna's face was a mask of resentment. She knew that with Marshall involved, things would be much more difficult.

Only then did Natalie seem to notice him. To be honest, he lacked Sebastian's overwhelming presence.

Whenever Sebastian was in a room, no matter how many people were there, he was always the most conspicuous, the most commanding presence.

When she had entered just now, the only person she had really seen was the roguishly charming Marshall.

"Mr. Griffith is here too! Mr. Griffith, your methods seem to be getting more and more despicable. Scheming against a small company like Mr. Spencer's isn't something the Sebastian I know would do."

An icy look filled Maxwell Griffith's eyes. He hated Natalie's words.

"Natalie, you played dirty to steal the Griffith empire out from under me. Do you have any shame, saying things like that?"

Natalie didn't want to waste her breath on him. He was a sore loser, and his constant whining was truly irritating.

"Mr. Griffith, all you do when you lose is whine. It's so annoying."

"You..."

เวน;

Maxwell Griffith's handsome face twisted with anger. He looked at Natalie's flawless face, her pale skin and delicate features which were truly stunning.

Natalie's face was the definition of perfection.

But her mouth... it made him want to rip it apart.

"Dad, I'm here!"

Maxwell's voice came from the doorway.

Upon hearing his voice, Joanna's face went pale. He was released so quickly?

Maxwell rushed in, looking

disheveled and breathing heavilyet

When he saw Natalie and Marshall, were both there, he let out a sigh of relief. .

"Marshall, Natalie," he called out happily.

Joanna immediately threatened him, "Maxwell, don't you forget that you were working with me. What do you think you're doing now?"
