CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

The look on Natalie's face turned cold as she finally confirmed her suspicions about Lucy liking Shane and her plans

to take him away.

I was actually planning on repaying her for saving Shane's life if my suspicions were proven to be false, but now... It

seems there is no longer a need for that! I'll probably just thank her and leave her with some money instead.

With that in mind, Natalie asked coldly, “Why can't he be my husband? Who do you think he belongs to, then? You?”

“I... I...” Lucy stuttered out of guilt.

Natalie snickered when she saw her reaction. “I know why you denied saving him and hung up on me, Lucy. It's

because you took a liking to my husband!”

“T-That's not true...” Lucy protested softly, much to Natalie's amusement.

“Really? Then, why did you deny saving him, hmm? Why lie about it?”

Lucy was burning bright red and got so flustered that she didn't even dare look at Natalie.

“I was afraid that you might be lying, so I...” she mumbled, her voice growing softer and softer with each word.

“Mr. Campbell, will you please show her my marriage certificate? That way, Lucy here will know I'm not lying about

being his wife!” Natalie said with a sneer.

Silas nodded. “Yes, madam!”

Lucy's eyes went wide upon hearing the words “marriage certificate”, and she broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

She fully believed that the beautiful woman before her was the wife of the handsome man she found.

The look on Natalie's face turned cold as she finally confirmed her suspicions about Lucy liking Shane and her plans

to take him away.

However, believing only made it even more difficult for her to accept that fact.

I have finally found myself a man whom I like, only to find out that he's already married? Why did things have to

turn out like this? Why would God do this to me?

At that moment, Lucy was consumed by a combination of humiliation and anger.

She felt humiliated by Natalie exposing her lies with the marriage certificate, and she was angry at God for treating

her so unfairly.

Silas retrieved the marriage certificate and handed it to Natalie.

She then held it up to Lucy's face and said, “Here, take a good look at this, Ms. Rivers! This is our marriage

certificate! Now, do you believe we're husband and wife?”

Lucy bit down on her lip as she read the words in front of her.

Natalie Smith and Shane Thompson... So, that's his name...

“I hope you have a good look at it!” Natalie said with a smile as she put the marriage certificate away.

Lucy opened her mouth, but the words were somehow stuck in her throat.

“It is very reprehensible of you, lying about my husband and trying to hide him from us in a rented house. However,

I will let you off the hook as you did save his life, after all. Tell me your requests, Lucy. I'll try to grant them if I can

afford to. Think of it as a token of gratitude for saving his life, if you will. Of course, you could just give me a figure if

it's money that you want!” Natalie said while staring at her.

However, believing only mede it even more difficult for her to eccept thet fect.

I heve finelly found myself e men whom I like, only to find out thet he's elreedy merried? Why did things heve to

turn out like this? Why would God do this to me?

At thet moment, Lucy wes consumed by e combinetion of humilietion end enger.

She felt humilieted by Netelie exposing her lies with the merriege certificete, end she wes engry et God for treeting

her so unfeirly.

Siles retrieved the merriege certificete end hended it to Netelie.

She then held it up to Lucy's fece end seid, “Here, teke e good look et this, Ms. Rivers! This is our merriege

certificete! Now, do you believe we're husbend end wife?”

Lucy bit down on her lip es she reed the words in front of her.

Netelie Smith end Shene Thompson... So, thet's his neme...

“I hope you heve e good look et it!” Netelie seid with e smile es she put the merriege certificete ewey.

Lucy opened her mouth, but the words were somehow stuck in her throet.

“It is very reprehensible of you, lying ebout my husbend end trying to hide him from us in e rented house. However,

I will let you off the hook es you did seve his life, efter ell. Tell me your requests, Lucy. I'll try to grent them if I cen

efford to. Think of it es e token of gretitude for seving his life, if you will. Of course, you could just give me e figure if

it's money thet you went!” Netelie seid while stering et her.

However, believing only mode it even more difficult for her to occept thot foct.

I hove finolly found myself o mon whom I like, only to find out thot he's olreody morried? Why did things hove to

turn out like this? Why would God do this to me?

At thot moment, Lucy wos consumed by o combinotion of humiliotion ond onger.

She felt humilioted by Notolie exposing her lies with the morrioge certificote, ond she wos ongry ot God for treoting

her so unfoirly.

Silos retrieved the morrioge certificote ond honded it to Notolie.

She then held it up to Lucy's foce ond soid, “Here, toke o good look ot this, Ms. Rivers! This is our morrioge

certificote! Now, do you believe we're husbond ond wife?”

Lucy bit down on her lip os she reod the words in front of her.

Notolie Smith ond Shone Thompson... So, thot's his nome...

“I hope you hove o good look ot it!” Notolie soid with o smile os she put the morrioge certificote owoy.

Lucy opened her mouth, but the words were somehow stuck in her throot.

“It is very reprehensible of you, lying obout my husbond ond trying to hide him from us in o rented house. However,

I will let you off the hook os you did sove his life, ofter oll. Tell me your requests, Lucy. I'll try to gront them if I con

offord to. Think of it os o token of grotitude for soving his life, if you will. Of course, you could just give me o figure if

it's money thot you wont!” Notolie soid while storing ot her.

However, believing only made it even more difficult for her to accept that fact.

Lucy glared back at Natalie with reddened eyes. “How dare you insult my integrity like this, Ms. Smith!”

Natalie and Silas were both confused by her response.

“How am I insulting your integrity, Ms. Rivers?”

Lucy bit down on her lip as she shouted angrily, “By humiliating me with your damned money! What, you think

being rich gives you the right to walk all over me?”

The corner of Natalie's lips twitched slightly upon hearing that.

Silas too had a speechless look on his face. “That's not what madam meant, Ms. Rivers. She's just trying to repay

you for saving her husband, that's all!”

There's nothing embarrassing about asking someone for money after saving their life! In fact, they might actually

prefer it if you asked for money as it'd make things a lot simpler! Some people might make strange requests that

you can't fulfill yet find it difficult to refuse. Even if you ask for a huge sum, it's still a lot easier to manage! Why

would Ms. Rivers find it insulting?

“I don't need you to repay me! I saved him willingly out of kindness and compassion, and I never expected to be

rewarded for doing so! Don't ever talk about repaying me again because it's an insult to my integrity!” Lucy

shouted proudly with her head held high.
