Hence, she had accepted the fact that Shane didn't like her because she lacked all these. That was why she decided
to hook up with wealthy heirs whom she had looked down on in the past in order to blend in with the upper-class
society.
She figured she would be able to pick up some skills from the rich and become a better version of herself.
Everything had been going well thus far even though she wasn't at Natalie's level yet.
Or so she thought until she met Natalie. She knew right then that they were on a completely different level.
First of all, she had to admit that she had lost to Natalie in terms of demeanor.
Natalie carried herself like a royalty while she looked like a prostitute.
They were world's apart!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucy's hands curled into fists and her body shook. She couldn't accept such an outcome.
After all, she had tried so hard to learn everything just so that Shane's impression of her would change and that she
would be worthy of him.
However, she suddenly realized she had been going in the wrong direction all this while.
“What's on your mind, Ms. Rivers?” Natalie narrowed her eyes and asked when she saw Lucy biting her lips and the
flurry of emotions on her face.
Lucy blinked and returned to her senses. She stared at Natalie and replied stiffly, “It's nothing, Ms. Smith. You
brought me here...”
“Please refer to me as Mrs. Thompson, thank you.” Natalie cut her off with a smile.
Isn't she in love with Shane? Doesn't she want to replace me as Mrs. Thompson? I'll have to remind her who
Shane's rightful wife is then.
She wanted to get the point across that there was no way Lucy could replace her as Shane's wife by forcing Lucy to
address her as Mrs. Thompson.
Everything was done on purpose.
Lucy was a good-looking woman actually. It wouldn't be hard for her to find a good man for herself.
However, Lucy refused to do so and had insisted on Natalie's man and wanted to take her place.
Hence, there was no way she would treat Lucy with kindness.
Just as Natalie expected, Lucy's face changed when she was asked to refer to Natalie as Mrs. Thompson.
Lucy knew that Natalie was doing it on purpose.
What a despicable woman!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucy tightened her grip on her phone as her eyes burned with hatred for a brief moment. She forced a smile, “Mrs.
Thompson.”
“That's right.” Natalie was all smiles as she crossed her legs. She then gestured for Lucy to go on. “Okay, Ms.
Rivers. Please go on. You were saying?”
“I said it's not very appropriate of you to take me here.” Lucy stared at Natalie defiantly.
Natalie raised her brows. “Oh? Is there a problem?”
“What do you mean is there a problem?” Lucy shook with anger. “This is considered kidnapping since you forcefully
brought me over. You have no right to keep me confined. This is against the law. I can lodge a police report.”
Natalie stifled a laugh. It was as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Lucy's heart skipped a beat when she heard her laughter. She raised her voice, feeling uneasy. “What are you
laughing at, Mrs. Thompson? Am I that funny?”
“No, no. It's not funny.” Natalie waved her hand. “It's hilarious.”
