Chapter 38 Do As You Wish Natalie narrowed her almond-shaped eyes.
âMiss, even the officers here agree with me. Take them off. Iâm waiting for this exquisite pair of shoes.â
Even the onlookers started snickering at Natasha.
âShe paid for them already. Why isnât this woman taking off her shoes?â
âShe doesnât know what to do now that she knows the other woman has money!â
âShame on you! Is there anything going on in that head of yours?â
Natashaâs face burned red in embarrassment. Her eyes grew bloodshot. However, there was nothing she could do about her situation.
All her life, she was used to getting what she wanted. Even Yonah acted carefully around her. It was the first time she had been humiliated like this.
She took off her shoes slowly.
When she finally took them off and stood on the marble floor with her bare feet, she felt like she was stripped naked.
âHere you go.â
She forced the words out of her mouth, her voice gritty.
Natashaâs eyes were about to burst into flames from how hard she was staring at Natalie. If not for the crowd, she would have slapped her face silly.
âThank you.â
Natalie then took the pair of limited edition heels from Natashaâs hands and threw them into the trash without even sparing a glance at them.
âHey!â Natashaâs nerves were on the verge of snapping.
âWhy did you throw my shoes in the trash?â
âYour shoes?â Natalie turned to look back at Natasha. âThese are the shoes that I bought for three hundred thousand. I can do whatever I want with them. Theyâve been contaminated by your nasty feet, so they arenât suitable for wearing anymore. Why should I have to report to you if Iâm throwing away my shoes?â
âYou bully!â
Natashaâs pride was shattered. She stomped furiously on the ground with her bare feet.
âIâm a bully? Then ask the police to arrest me.â Natalie blinked calmly.
âThe officers are right here, you know.â Xavian added scathingly, âBut these officers are busy. Their job is to catch bad guys to keep the city safe, not to help you solve such petty problems!â
He continued, âWhen you call them just because youâre angry, youâre just preventing them from doing their real jobs!â
When the officers heard this, they were moved.
That little kid is absolutely right!
Natasha did not know what else she could do. She broke down, crying and screaming.
Natalie was satisfied. Finally, she could stand her ground against the woman that had once towered over her.
âGoing barefoot must be uncomfortable.â Natalieâs gaze drifted toward the direction of the trash can. âIf you really want them back, you could always pick them up to wear.â
Natasha burned with even more rage. She opened her mouth to retaliate but soon got cut off.
âI spent my money on those shoes. I can do what I want with them.â
This was payback for everything she endured those years ago.
Just after Natalie dealt with Natasha, she bumped into Ross.
âMs. Nichols...â
Ross greeted her instinctively. Natalie rushed forward to cover his mouth.
âYou donât need to address me that way when weâre not in the office.â
The act of covering his mouth was intimate. It so happened that Natasha, who was still glaring at Natalie, saw it happen.
She recognized Ross with a single glance. Wasnât that the man her cousin was toying with?
Did his standards drop to the ground after Belle dumped him? How could he fall for this greasy, freckle-faced freak?
Iâll remember this day. Just you wait, Iâll get my revenge on you!
