Sophia noted the provocative look on Natasha’s face, but she kept her cool and proceeded as if she was having a usual conversation with just any individual. While standing on the speech podium, she offered, “The pregnant reader seated in the first row—do you have anything you’d like to ask me?” There wasn’t any other pregnant reader apart from Natasha in the crowd.
The assistant quickly brought the mic over and passed it over to Natasha while the crowd alternated their gazes between the pregnant lady and the speaker. Most of them had a feeling that Natasha was about to reveal something shocking—this was clearly a case of a mistress getting herself pregnant before coming to ruin the event and cause trouble. No one understood why Sophia provided Natasha with the mic, for any regular person would’ve just kicked Natasha out of the hall.
Right then, Natasha took the mic over and said in a sweet voice, “I’m 8-months pregnant, and it’s a little hard for me to speak while standing up. Can I speak while sitting down?” Her words were meant to sound humble, but something in her voice exposed her clear intentions of showing off and flaunting her power. Eight months… Everyone frantically calculated the dates only to realize that Taylor was filming ‘War Dragon’ in the film studio during that period of time.
That was the same period when Natasha went over to visit him every day, sparking numerous rumors, and she was later caught leaving his room early in the morning one day. The news spread like wildfire until her lie was exposed by his livestream later. However, he never clarified if he was sharing the same room as Natasha that night even until the very end. So the child’s father…
A sweet, charming smile crept across Natasha’s lips as she then said her simple yet shocking sentence, “I’d like to ask… when are you and Taylor going to get a divorce?” The entire hall erupted with discussion and exclamation. She is really here to demonstrate her dominance! Just her first sentence itself is already so shocking! Satisfied by the crowd’s reaction, Natasha looked around with a pause before she then shifted her gaze to her bulging belly and said, “Taylor and I are prepared to welcome our baby into the world really soon.”
Everyone’s jaws hung loosely as they gaped at how intense and exciting this entire plot unfolded. She really started in the most dramatic way possible! The crowd first glanced at Natasha, the triumphing mistress, and then at Sophia, the calm and collected wife.
A sweet and elegant grin spread across Sophia’s face, showing her straight row of teeth and hiding any signs of panic or other emotions. With a smile, she replied, “I’m sorry, Miss. Your question isn’t fitting to my topic for today’s speech, and I am unable to answer any private questions. Next, please…”
Natasha didn’t attempt to disrupt her anymore as she obediently handed the mic over. After throwing a glance at Sophia, who was still on stage, she simply left the hall wearing a look of satisfaction on her face. She only had a single goal that day—to tell everyone that she, Natasha, was back! All the evil b*stards who have hurt me will soon die a painful death!
The second she turned around to leave, the sweet smile on her face completely disappeared and was instead replaced by a face filled with hatred and anger. The past 6 months of her life had been torturous; she spent every living moment thinking and hoping for her own death, yet failing to actually die. Fortunately, God was looking out for me, and He brought me back! Everything that I went through was all Sophia’s fault; I have to make her pay for what she did!
Even though Natasha showed up and disappeared after throwing her an odd question, none of it seemed to have affected Sophia’s speech and book signing event at all. Although there were slight changes in the atmosphere of the crowd, the whole event ended on a positive note. After it was over, Sophia left the hall with a calm, emotionless look and headed straight for the car. Michael was already there when she got in.
