Chapter 502
Tears glimmered in Annabelle’s eyes. “I know you look down on me, but I had no other choice.”
“How ridiculous! Did Jeremy hold a knife to your throat and force you to
become a mistress? You and your scumbag lover are perfect for each other. Don’t try to paint yourself as innocent.” Natalie scoffed.
Natalie had never imagined she would find herself in such a situation, but thanks to Jeremy, she had encountered such a ridiculous event.
She was still the main character in this drama. If this were a fairytale story, she would be the villainous queen blocking the king’s affection for his princess.
Natalie rubbed her arm. She felt goosebumps forming on her skin.
Annabelle’s face turned visibly embarrassed. “I know I was wrong, terribly wrong. But many women at the company like Mr. Hughes.
“In fact, countless women in Jipsburg admire him. Even if it weren’t me, someone else would be his mistress. You’ve known Mr. Hughes for so long. He couldn’t have only had eyes for you all this time, right?”
“Are
you finished?” Natalie asked. She remained expressionless. She couldn’t, offer any response.
It didn’t matter how many people liked Jeremy or how long they had known each other. None of these were excuses for his betrayal of his marriage.
After seeing Annabelle, she suddenly felt more relieved. Just as she couldn’t. understand why Jeremy cheated, she realized that people were different, with varied thoughts and morals.
Jeremy likely couldn’t comprehend why she insisted on a divorce and couldn’t just turn a blind eye like many others.
Being Mrs. Hughes brought immense benefits, far outweighing the pain of enduring his infidelity.
As Natalie turned to leave, Annabelle quickly blocked her path. “Wait! Are you refusing to help me because you don’t want a divorce and don’t want to leave Mr. Hughes?”
Chapter 502
Natalie found this amusing. “What does getting a divorce have to do with helping you?”
“…” Annabelle was caught off guard by Natalie’s clear logic.
Just yesterday, she had seen Natalie and Jeremy together. Natalie looked devastated.
It had only been a day, yet Natalie had regained her composure. This was unexpected.
At that moment, a formidable figure swiftly entered the ward. Then, he appeared in front of Natalie, blocking Natalie’s view of Annabelle.
Seeing who it was, Annabelle’s face turned pale. Natalie’s expression wasn’t much better.
A faint sneer flicked in her eyes, thinking his prompt arrival was likely due to him fearing her bullying Annabelle.
“Don’t worry. I haven’t bullied your new love. I just can’t understand why you wouldn’t divorce me and instead chose to have the baby aborted even though she was carrying your child. I’ll explain everything to your parents. I won’t expose your disgraceful actions to them.”
Jeremy’s facial muscles tightened. When he met Natalie’s gaze, her eyes were, filled with sarcasm and disgust. It felt as if someone had a vise grip on his heart, making it hard to breathe.
“Nath, it’s not what you think. She was never my new love, and I never cared for her. Between us, it was just-
“Just a fling, right? Jeremy, even if it was just a fling, it doesn’t change the fact that you’ve tainted yourself. When you were having a good time in bed with her, did you ever consider whether you liked her?

The readers' comments on the novel: My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul
Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
