Sophia was considered knowledgeable in history, as she once sat for a history exam for a friend who barely studied. Therefore, she was aware of how much the Imperial Seal was worth and knew that she could never afford something so precious like that.
Even I can’t afford that artifact, let alone Natasha, and I doubt she could afford it even if she sold off the entire Mitchell Family! Well, I guess that’s the reason why it’s deemed to be a national treasure. Nonetheless, the anonymous donor really did use my alias, according to the news.
Who is so loaded to spend such a fortune on this artifact? After all, even money can’t buy it. At the thought of that, Sophia couldn’t help but feel confused about the mysterious donor.
Soon, the group chat was bombarded with Stanley’s messages. ‘Darn you, Eddie! Say something, you rich hypocrite! Who are you? I bet this is the reason why my uncle married you, right?!’
In fact, Natasha had spent more than she could afford on Taylor. Therefore, she barely had money left to prove her wealth now that everyone compared her museum to the priceless Imperial Seal.
Although the humiliation was trivial, the real issue remained as Natasha insisted on going ahead with building the museum despite her tight fund. Fortunately, the decision hadn’t been finalized, which no payment had been made.
At the same time, this didn’t sit well with the Mitchell Family’s elderly, who interfered with Natasha’s plan and accused her of her childishness. For that, they were determined not to pay a single cent for the museum’s construction.
Meanwhile, some of the crew members were seen with their eyes glued to their phones, eagerly reading more about the news on the rivalry of wealth between Eddie and Natasha since that was the biggest media focus recently.
While everyone was curious to know more about how the drama would develop, Eddie’s donation immediately caught the attention of many and left their mouths wide agape.
“Oh my gosh! Who’s this Eddie Fletcher? Look, it’s the Imperial Seal! If this thing is real, imagine how much it’s worth!”
“What’re you talking about? No one could afford to buy that artifact even if Natasha sold off the Mitchell Family.”
“It looks like she really hit a snag this time!”
Upon noticing everyone gossiping with their eyes set on her, Natasha immediately reached out for her phone, only to see a news article popping up.
Needless to say, she understood what donating the Imperial Seal implied, as she could never afford something as priceless as the national treasure. Furthermore, she also knew that the Mitchell Family wouldn’t give away something so precious if they really possessed it.
Soon, her pride was hurt when she saw the name ‘Eddie Fletcher’ in the last few words of the news article. For the first time in her life, she felt devastated and defeated, doubtful about herself, as she no longer felt important.
Oh gosh! I’m so ashamed of myself that I don’t feel like living in this world anymore. I guess Harry was right. I’m just mommy’s little girl who can’t accept her failure, and I only felt invincible in the first eighteen years of my life because of the Mitchell Family.
Now that Natasha found herself up against someone else wealthier and more powerful, she finally woke up to how vulnerable she was. In that instant, she went weak in her limbs, barely standing on her feet with Olivia’s help.
Suddenly, she received a phone call, only to realize it was from her father. At the sight of that, she quickly caught on to what Alex was calling her for. After that, she staggered with her assistant’s help and reluctantly left the place.
At that moment, Natasha knew she had become a laughingstock, as everyone else now called her a loser. Meanwhile, Olivia, who watched Natasha leave, couldn’t care less about the latter’s feelings because Eddie seemed more like someone from the upper class right now. It appears that Eddie is the one who’s actually loaded with money, but who’s this mysterious figure?
