Even after Mara said that, Natalie held back her anger.
“Name your price.”
“Money? Ha! I’m the daughter of a prestigious family. Do you think I need money?”
“What will it take for you to get rid of it?”
“I told you, I’m not getting rid of it. The person Wesley loves has always been me. We used to spend all our time together. You? You’re just a tool for a business alliance.”
“If he loves you so much, why did you have to scheme to lure him to a hotel? Hmph, trying to fool me? I investigated that whole incident thoroughly. From start to finish, you were the one seducing him. You’re nothing but a cheap slut who goes after other people’s boyfriends, and you have the nerve to show off in front of me? You’re a vicious, toxic woman. The moment you arrived at the Mercer family, you started scheming against your own sister, causing nothing but trouble. Now that she’s left, she’s doing a hundred, a thousand times better than you. Mira was born to be a dazzling star in the sky, while you’re just gutter trash wriggling in the dirt. A shameless harlot like you is only good for being a prostitute and nothing more. I’ll ask you one last time. Are you getting rid of it or not?”
Once Natalie got angry, the insults poured out, releasing all the frustration she had been bottling up.
“I’m not. What are you going to do about it? Your nasty words are just talk, but This is our baby, a part of both of us.”
Mara remained stubborn, but by this point, Natalie had lost all her patience.
She had been pampered her whole life; when had she ever been this patient with anyone?
“So you won’t?”
Natalie was done talking.
“What… what are you doing?”
As Natalie advanced on her, Mara suddenly felt a surge of fear.
“Since you’re unwilling, I’ll have to take care of it for you, for the sake of my and Wesley’s happiness.”
With that, she grabbed the front of Mara’s shirt.
Before Mara could react, Natalie stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth.
Mara raised her hands to pull it out, but Natalie seized them in a tight grip.
