Chapter 259 Vengeance On Scumbags 1
“An orphan?” A woman in a cream-colored dress snorted.
Those who could attend Susan Leister’s birthday celebration were influential figures in Chanaea. An orphan with no background and no one to support was at the bottom of the social pyramid there—Natalie was an outlier.
“Ugly and an orphan! How can she be with Mr. Bowers?”
“What’s the matter with Mr. Bowers? Even if he’s only picking a secretary, he should pick someone with a better look!”
“And here I thought she had some kind of mysterious family background!”
The women were chattering away, completely ignoring the fact that Natalie was there.
Susan was doing it on purpose; she was deliberately not telling anyone about Natalie’s relationship with Samuel. She wanted her to be laughed and mocked at by the other socialites. It would delight her most if Natalie were to lose her temper and began fighting with them.
That way, she did not have to do anything as Natalie embarrass herself. Susan was sure that Samuel would be extremely disappointed in her if he were to witness the scene.
However…
While it was a good plan, Natalie’s reaction was completely different from what Susan thought it would be.
Natalie continued to sip on her red wine, her eyes half-lidded and maintaining her composure.
At the end, when the other women saw how calm Natalie was, they lost interest in gossiping about her.
