The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 648

She couldn't let Natalie post that video; it would ruin her reputation. Left with no choice, she nudged her daughter forward, telling her to apologize.

Queena, used to getting her way, wasn't about to give in so easily.

"Mommy, why should I apologize to this poor nobody!"

"Queena!"

"She was just jealous of my pretty hair clip! She wanted to steal it, she just didn't get the chance!"

The logic was so twisted that even Marico let out an impressed whistle.

"A master of reasoning. You're even more shameless than I am."

Maria gave Queena a shove. "It's your fault, Mommy believed you and ended up blaming someone innocent! Apologize right now!"

"I won't!"

"If you don't, I'll spank you!"

Queena burst into tears and ran into Hamilton's arms.

"They're all bullying me! Make them stop!"

Hamilton knelt, his voice cold. "So you don't think you did anything wrong?"

Queena pouted. "She's just so annoying!"

"Enough!" Hamilton's face was livid. "Go and apologize now!"

"You don't like me anymore either! I hate you... mmmph!"

Maria quickly covered her daughter's mouth to stop her from angering Hamilton further and pushed her in front of Natalie and Kristin.

"Apologize. Now!"

Queena tried to resist, but seeing that Maria was truly angry and Hamilton wasn't defending her, she sulked for a long moment before reluctantly muttering, "Sorry."

Kristin just sniffed. "My mommy and I feel the same way. I don't accept your apology, and I don't forgive you. I couldn't beat you this time, but next time, I'll get you back!"

"Natalie, you were the one who cheated. How can you be so self-righteous?"

"Hamilton, as long as you're convinced I cheated first, and not you, then there's absolutely nothing for us to talk about!"

Frustrated, Hamilton kicked a nearby pillar. "Do you have to be this arrogant?"

Natalie was just as agitated. She couldn't reach her assistant and now had to deal with Hamilton's harassment.

Just then, a car pulled up behind Hamilton's and started blaring its horn, demanding he move.

"Let's just get in the car and talk," Hamilton said, trying to take Natalie's arm.

She shook him off. "Don't touch me!"

The car behind them honked again, relentlessly. Hamilton spun around and roared, "You seem to have a death wish."

The driver's side window rolled down, and Marico leaned his head out.

"As a matter of fact, I do!"
