"To be even more direct, if you hadn't told me to keep my distance from Lucas, I wouldn't have left last night and the accident last night wouldn't have happened!" Cordy said slightly harshly. On one hand, she was not very happy to be misunderstood that way, while on the other, she really did not want to deal with Nana anymore.
"How smart." Nana's smile turned colder. "You even managed to push all the blame to me! Cordy Sachs, I can really see why you're like a fish in water in the business circle."
"Forget it if you don't believe me." Cordy did not want to explain any further.
She had said everything she could.
Cordy held Richard's hand and left.
Nana ran ahead and blocked Cordy's way, and Cordy furrowed her brows.
"Cordy Sachs, I said earlier that there are many women who fancy Lucas. Out of so many women, none of them succeeded in seducing Lucas. Do you really think Lucas is so composed and disinterested in other women? No, it's because of me," Nana said coldly.
"I'm not interested to know about both of your affairs."
"No one can snatch Lucas away from me!" Nana said emphatically, "No matter how beautiful and adept you are at seducing men, you'll never beat me!"
Cordy stared at Nana.
At that moment, she felt that Nana must have a screw loose.
"Nana Lynd, this is the last time I'm saying this. I do not like Lucas, and I've never even thought about snatching him away from you. But if you continue slandering me like this, I don't mind turning your delusion into reality," Cordy said coldly.
"Are you threatening me?" Nana raised her brows.
"That's right," Cordy said unabashedly. "If you know me, you'll understand that I am a vindictive woman. Just check on my past and you'll see, if you don't believe me."
With that, Cordy held Richard by his hand and left.
At that moment, Nana suddenly collapsed on the floor.
Before Cordy could react, she heard an anxious voice yelling, "Nana!"
She then saw Lucas rushing toward them in a wheelchair in a panic.
