Chapter 1055

Hearing her warning, Maxwell found it laughable. "Joanna, do you really think anyone would be loyal to you forever? You used me, and then you tried to swallow my family's company. What is there about a person like you that's worth helping? What's worth cooperating with?"

His voice was hoarse, edged with a murderous chill. The mocking tone was grating to Joanna's ears.

Everything was spiraling out of her control.

Natalie wasn't dead, she couldn't take Yves's company, and with the end of the year just around the corner, her mood was exceptionally foul.

Joanna deeply regretted cooperating with a fool like Maxwell. Her eyes turned cold. "Maxwell, you have only one choice now: work with me. You once tried to kill Marshall. Do you really think he'll sincerely help you?"

Marshall couldn't possibly forgive what Maxwell had done before. With just a few words to sow discord, she could still make Maxwell useful to her.

As long as she got Yves's company, the projects she had previously lined up would be even more profitable.

Hearing her try to drive a wedge between them again, Maxwell sneered. "Joanna, if my cousin hadn't helped me, I'd be a corpse right now, and my dad's company would have been stolen by you."

"Joanna, the truly toxic person is you."

Maxwell was so angry his features seemed to contort. His eyes were filled with murderous rage.

He had never hated someone as much as he hated her in this moment.

Joanna's heart must have been made of stone.

She used people, ruined their lives, and never gave it a second thought.

All she cared about was how much money she could make, how much she could gain.

He had been a fool before. Now, he would not be used by her again.

"Joanna, I recorded all the calls you made to me before."

"Pfft..." Joanna looked at his murderous eyes and snorted with laughter. Maxwell, if you really had a recording, you would have given it to the police already, and would have

been taken away for investigation

So who are you trying to scare?"

Joanna raised an eyebrow, looking down on him as if he were an insect.

It made Maxwell's skin crawl.

Joanna's viciousness was something he had experienced firsthand. "Joanna, what are you laughing at?"

Joanna explained condescendingly, "Maxwell, you're so naive. You can take out your phone, open the recording, and see what's in it."

Maxwell froze, then quickly pulled out his phone and played the recording, "Joanna, don't worry, I'll definitely kill Natalie tonight. I'll get revenge for you, and for myself After kill her, you have to help me, you can't let me go to jail."

Then the recording ended.

Maxwell was stunned. He looked at Joanna in shock. "No, that's impossible. That's not what I recorded. How did this happen? How did the recording change?"

Natalie glanced at Maxwell. Joanna was a master hacker who kept her skills well hidden.

How could Maxwell possibly win against Joanna?

Even Sebastian might not be able to beat her.

Joanna looked at him with mockery. "Maxwell, if you hand over that recording, who's the one going to jail?"

Maxwell glared at her. "How did you do that? You're terrifying. No wonder you dared to say anything to me on the phone, without fear of me recording it."

Joanna shook her head. In front of ~ Natalie, she dropped the act. "That's right, Maxwell. I was never worried about you recording me. I can see everything you do on your phone."

Maxwell was speechless.

His gaze turned cold and hard. "Joanna, one day, I'm going to watch you fall from your ivory tower. Now get the hell out!"
