Sebastian stroked the coins in his hand. He remembered seeing Natalie quarrel with her parents when
he went to the Quinn family’s house.
They didn’t seem to get along with each other.
“What happened? Why are you nervous? Why do you freak out every time I mention your family?”
Sebastian ruffled Natalie’s hair tenderly.
“How can I spend a woman’s money? You better use my money first.”
After a moment’s thought, Sebastian took out his wallet from his jacket pocket and placed it in Natalie’s
hands.
“I’ve made some money working part-time in a shop for the past few days.”
Natalie looked at the wallet, and her bangs covered her pretty face.
Just as the two looked at each other in silence, they heard a voice dripping with sarcasm.
“It looks like you really have been living a miserable life.
You can’t even afford to take a taxi and have to take a bus home.”
Natalie turned in the direction of the voice and found a white BMW parked at the curb not far away.
Wearing cat-eye sunglasses and a_ figure-hugging strapless dress, Cassie sat in the car next to Steve.
She took off her sunglasses now, and smacked the gum she was chewing as she eyed Natalie and
Sebastian.
“What, do you want a ride or something?” Cassie drawled.
“I suppose that’s fine, but make sure you wipe your shoes before you get in, or you’re going to dirty my
babe’s new car.”
Natalie took out her phone and wordlessly rounded the car to take photos of its license plate.
When she straightened, she pointed at the road sign just up ahead.
“Didn’t you see that you’re not allowed to park here? If you don’t move right away, I’ll report you to the
traffic enforcers.”
Steve’s ears burned with shame. He didn’t want to irritate Natalie with Cassie and had wanted to drive
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaway immediately, but Cassie had stopped him.
Cassie crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed.
“Go ahead, then. We can pay the fine, no matter how much it is. I’m not like you, who probably can’t
even afford to take a taxi. For all I know, you must be out here begging for alms, aren’t you? Like some
piss-poor vagrant. Oh, wait. Now that I think about it, our dog does the same.”
Cassie’s harsh words cut deep into Natalie’s skin. She gritted her teeth and looked at her feet to keep
herself from spouting bitter curses at the woman.
Natalie had worked hard to build herself up over time, yet her morale seemed to have crumbled in the
blink of an eye. She felt as though she had regressed back to her younger, helpless self.
Natalie clenched her fists so hard that her nails almost cut into her palm.
It was all she could do to keep her tears at bay.
She couldn’t let anyone see her cry.
All of a sudden, Sebastian pulled her back and took her in his arms.
Her forehead was then pressed against his broad, warm chest.
Just then, a Lamborghini sped toward them, its engine roaring in the otherwise serene highway.
It screeched to a halt just a few feet behind the BMW.
“Whose car is this?”
Cassie’s boyfriend exclaimed.
“It’s a limited edition model!”
Even Steve couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that the car was owned by some rich young
master who wanted to show off his wealth as well as pick up girls.
Cassie craned her neck and stared at the Lamborghini in a similarly covetous fashion.
Very few people in the city—no, in the whole country—could afford this luxury car.
The BMW was nothing compared to this sleek Lamborghini.
The driver of the Lamborghini got out of said car, walked past the BMW, and stopped in front of
Sebastian.
He gave a small bow and spoke in a respectful voice.
“I apologize for keeping you waiting, sir. Please get in the car.”
Cassie and her boyfriend were stunned speechless.
That punk actually owned the Lamborghini? But how was that even possible? Sebastian nodded at the
driver and squeezed Natalie’s shoulder.
“Let’s go home,” he said softly.
Cassie glared at the scene unfolding in front of her, her nostrils flared in anger.
Just what kind of man had Natalie married? Natalie had been burrowing in Sebastian’s arms all this
time.
When she finally looked up and spotted the Lamborghini, she froze and gaped.
“Sebastian…”
Her unblinking eyes never left the Lamborghini.
Sebastian was unfazed. He gently ushered Natalie into the backseat of the car.
They drove off without another word to Cassie and her beau.
When Natalie was looking away, Steve stole a glance at her and couldn’t help but feel sad.
He didn’t care about whoever Natalie had married, but he did regret losing her to his stupidity and
immaturity.
Cassie noticed the tenderness on Steve’s face as he looked at Natalie and gritted her teeth in anger.
The reason why she had tried to seduce Steve in the first place was because she wanted to take
something away from Natalie.
In truth, she didn’t give a damn about Steve.
But it looked like Natalie didn’t care about her supposed “loss” at all.
Plus, Steve seemed reluctant to leave Natalie, too.
So why would Cassie want to keep a man who loved someone else? It’d only make her feel bad in the
long run.
Steve’s status was good, but it wasn’t enough to satisfy her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, her ultimate goal was to marry into a rich and powerful family that controlled the city, such as
the Klein family.
It went without saying that she needed to marry a man richer and more powerful than Steve.
So she wrinkled her nose at Steve in disgust and said, “Let’s break up.”
Steve looked at her blankly and didn’t respond at first.
But this only served to annoy Cassie even more.
She raised her voice and said, “Steve! I said I want to break up with you!”
This pulled Steve back to his senses and his jaw dropped in shock.
“Didn’t you say you were pregnant?”
Steve’s combined obsession with Natalie and his indifference towards Cassie when she brought up the
topic of breakup made her angry beyond belief.
“That was because I didn’t want to marry the illegitimate son of the Klein family, you idiot! I lied to you!
I’m not pregnant, okay?”
Steve felt a wave of relief.
His expression immediately relaxed, as though he had been granted amnesty.
“Okay, then let’s break up.You can get out of the car now.”
Steve’s reaction made Cassie even more furious.
“Why the hell would I do that?”
Steve smiled coldly and opened the door for her.
“We’re broken up.And this is my car.So get out.”
Cassie’s face contorted with anger, but she had no choice but to obey.
As soon as she stepped out, Steve slammed the door in her face and zoomed away, as though he was
escaping from her evil clutches.
In his haste to get away, the car ran through a puddle, splashing dirty water on Cassie’s feet.
Gritting her teeth, she was so angry that she nearly screamed expletives into the sky.
Why? Why the hell couldn’t she compete with Natalie? She just couldn’t understand.
Meanwhile, Natalie was sitting on the luxurious and comfortable backseat of the Lamborghini.
It wasn’t until they had driven some distance that Natalie finally shook herself out of her daze.
She whirled at the man beside her, looking confused and mad, and perhaps a little scared.
“Sebastian! What the hell is going on?”
