Natalie then resumed her conversation with the designer as though she didn't even notice Lucy in the first place.

Naturally, that didn't sit very well with Lucy.

What's with that response? She clearly saw me, so why didn't she come and ask me the reason I'm here? I was

expecting her to come over and confront me directly. That way, I can pull some dirty tricks to embarrass her in

front of everyone and ruin her reputation as a designer! But she ignored me completely and carried on talking as

though I didn't even exist!

Being ignored like that came as a huge blow to Lucy's pride and ego.

“Hey, Nat! That woman is staring at you!” Lina whispered as she walked up to Natalie with a glass of red wine in

hand.

Natalie took a sip of her wine and replied with a smile, “Yeah, I know. Just ignore her. Come on, let's head back. It's

almost time.”

Lina glanced at her watch. “Yeah, it's pretty late. Let's go.”

The two of them placed their wine glasses down and walked out the front door.

The two bodyguards standing outside quickly made their way over and escorted them out of there.

Fine! If she won't come to me, then I'll go to her! I can still humiliate her all the same!

Determined to get back at Natalie, Lucy started running after her.

However, she paused in her tracks when she saw the two bodyguards next to them.

She recognized them as the ones who had taken her to a police station and a detention center back then.

Lucy was so traumatized by how rough the two bodyguards had been that she didn't dare take another step.

Being forced to abort her plan angered Lucy to no end, but all she could do was stamp her foot in frustration.

Naturally, the first thing Natalie did upon returning to the villa was to give Shane a call.

They had promised each other to have a phone call each day.

Due to how busy things were at the opening ceremony, it was quite late when Natalie called him that night.

“Is the opening ceremony over?” Shane asked in his attractive, deep voice.

Natalie glanced at the clock as she said, “Yup! Sorry to keep you waiting, Darling.”

It was already midnight at that time. Since Shane didn't have to work overtime in the study lately, he had been

sleeping at around eleven every day.

As such, his being awake an hour past his bedtime showed that he was waiting for her phone call.

“It's fine. I can wait all night for you if I have to,” Shane replied with a chuckle while leaning against the headboard.

Hearing that filled Natalie's heart with warmth. “You're such a sweetheart, Darling!”

“Did you only realize that now?” Shane asked.

Natalie tucked her hair behind her ear as she replied, “Of course not! I realized that right from the start! By the

way, are the kids asleep?”

“Yup, they just slept a while ago,” Shane said while glancing at the two kids sleeping beside him.

“A while ago?” Natalie exclaimed in surprise.

Shane pulled the blanket over their shoulders as he explained, “Yeah. They wanted to talk to you, so they came to

my room and joined me in waiting for you. Eventually, they couldn't stay awake anymore and fell asleep before

your call came in.”

Natalie felt bad when she heard that. “I'm sorry it took so long.”

“The kids insisted on waiting, so it's not your fault. Besides, you can always talk to them tomorrow,” Shane

comforted her.

“Yeah... By the way, I saw Lucy at the opening ceremony just now. She taunted me, Darling!” Natalie said.

Shane furrowed his brows upon hearing that. “She taunted you?”
