Baron didn’t want her being bullied either; no matter how Natalie looked at it, there was no reason she should
accept Loretta’s treatment and humiliation.
Loretta was shaken by Natalie's words.
“What did you say you are?”
Chris flung Loretta’s wrist aside with such force that she nearly toppled over; if someone behind her hadn't
steadied her, she would have been thoroughly humiliated.
“Are your ears failing with age? Natalie was perfectly clear-she is Natalie Stone, heiress of the Stone Group.
Whatever her past may have been, she is no longer someone the Luke family can dismiss or trample underfoot.
The Lukes may wield power in Ocean City, but the Stone family’s influence reaches across the world.”
Chris’s voice rang with authority, each word hitting Loretta like a blow.
She stared at Natalie in disbelief, her mind racing. How could a girl cast out by the Summers family end up as
the Stone family’s heiress?
She knew of Stone Group; it was indeed a power the Luke family couldn't challenge outright. But Natalie as their
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdaughter? How was that possible?
“Natalie, for the sake of the years you were with Jensen, I'll give you a word of advice. Sometimes in life, people
just need to accept their lot. Don’t go around imagining yourself as skind of society heiress. Otherwise,
when reality smacks you in the face, no one will cto your rescue.”
Loretta’s tone made it clear she didn’t believe a word Chris or Natalie had said.
Natalie had no patience to argue.
“My life is none of your concern, Loretta. I'd just like to know why you askedhere today.”
Loretta frowned again; Natalie was no longer the obedient girl she'd once been.
So that meekness really had been an act.
Her face darkened.
“Natalie, is it? Fine. Since you won't acknowledge old ties, | see no reason to be polite. Whatever you and Jensen
once had, it’s over. He's married to Sharon now; he has a family.

Natalie almost laughed.
“Loretta, maybe you should go ask your son who's been reaching out to whom.”
“Don’t givethat! When you were with Jensen, every design you made was by choice-you handed them over
willingly. And now you've got the nerve to demand payment? How can you even say that with a straight face?
Don’t forget, five years ago when the Summers family tossed you out half-dead, it was Jensen who saved you.
He gave you a good life and supported you for five years. And you're begrudging him a few designs? Now you're
trying to spin it like the Luke family took advantage of you. | can’t believe | never realized how calculating you
really are.”
Loretta’s words made Natalie's expression turn cold.
“Loretta, I'll admit it-everything | did for Jensen, | did willingly. But we've broken up now, and | have every right
to take back what's mine. And as for your claim that the Luke family supported me, why don’t you do the math?
My designs brought Luke Corp billions. Do you really think five years of living expenses add up to billions?”
“Don’t twist the truth! Your designs only sold because my son had the talent to make them succeed. If it had just
been you-a complete nobody-they wouldn't have been worth a dime. My son married Sharon and still thought to
keep caring for you. And instead of showing gratitude, you schemed against Sharon. Worse, you even sent
someone to kill her. Natalie, how vicious can you be? Letmake one thing clear-Sharon is carrying Jensen's
child. If you dare try to hurt her again, don’t blme for what I'll do to you.”
Natalie froze. Sharon was pregnant? Carrying Jensen’s child? So Jensen had already slept with Sharon. And yet he
still had the gall to think about getting back with me?
Natalie couldn't help the cold laugh that slipped out.
That laugh was the last straw-Loretta snapped; enraged, she snatched up the coffee cup at her side and hurled
it at Natalie's head.
“What are you laughing at? How dare you laugh?”
i
At that moment, Loretta dropped her mask completely. No longer the gracious matron, she looked like a
madwoman, desperate to smash Natalie into a bloody mess.
Every tshe thought of Sharon nearly being stabbed, of her unborn grandchild almost being harmed, Loretta’s
fury flared hotter.
Whatever Natalie and Jensen's relationship had once been, every design Natalie created belonged to Luke Corp
in Loretta’s eyes; now Natalie wanted to take them back?

Unbelievable. Natalie hadn't expected the once-dignified Loretta to descend into such vulgarity.
The instant the coffee cup cflying at her, Natalie's own anger finally ignited.
