Chapter 1093

After asking, she felt something wasn't quite right.

Joanna's goal was Sebastian. Only if something happened to Sebastian could the man who looked identical to him take his place.

Ah... she was so stupid. Although she had figured it all out, it had never been as crystal clear as it was today.

Natalie had to admire herself for still being able to smile at a time like this.

Joanna didn't answer her question directly. She wasn't as foolish as before, blurting out that she was behind it.

The Natalie of today was different from the past.

She roared, "Natalie, if you won't let me have a good New Year, then you won't have one either!"

"So, what are you going to do to me? Joanna, you have nothing left to threaten me with."

Natalie picked up a shrimp and took a slow bite. The fresh, tender meat made her eyes crinkle with pure joy.

This New Year, though without her grandfather and three older brothers, was still very comfortable.

Joanna shouted in fury, “Natalie, I want you dead!”

"Oh," Natalie replied nonchalantly.

Her indifferent and casual attitude infuriated Joanna even more.

How had Natalie become like this?

How had she become so fearless?

She had always refused to believe that Natalie could be so capable. “Natalie, I will make your life a living hell," Joanna said before hanging up. Being cut off mid-argument on New Year's Eve left Natalie a little dissatisfied. Joanna's extreme attitude must mean she'd encountered something extreme.

Natalie looked at Luna. “Luna, have someone find out tomorrow what's wrong with Joanna. She was really fired up."

Luna had already received the news. She sneered, "Natalie, I've already heard Joanna and that Mr. Griffith were attacked. Both were sent to the hospital. Mr. Griffith is still

unconscious, and Joanna isin a wheelchair."

Natalie was speechless.

Who was this kind soul?

Giving her such a surprise on New Year's Eve!

She looked down at her own feet, unable to walk, and suddenly felt that this form of revenge was... quite something.

“Haha.......” Natalie let out a joyful, silly laugh, feeling the giddy excitement of a prisoner finally set free.

Luna was exasperated. "Natalie, have some self-respect. She bullied you for years, and now you're this happy over a little bit of karma?"

She didn't know how Natalie had endured it all those years.

Natalie shamelessly declared, "Luna, you're wrong. People who can control their emotions are not ordinary. And I'm certainly not ordinary. People who make a lot of neise are usually all talk Burpeople like me, who are quiet and have a sharp gaze, are the real tough ones."

Luna, Keith, Tyler, and Ethan were all taken aback.

She wondered if even Natalie herself believed that.

Natalie saw the four of them staring at her blankly and felt a bit self-conscious.

She gave them a mock-glare. “So you all think I'm pretty stupid?”

All four nodded in unison.

Natalie was incredulous.

Luna clarified, “Natalie, you're not stupid. You're just a hopeless romantic. Without Sebastian, you're beautiful and a rich woman."

Natalie scoffed. "Easy for you to say.

I had my reasons back then. Now that everything is clear, I have no more burdens Do you really think
