Chapter 554 Most Deserving
With a cruel and evil smile on her lips, Melissa lifted her eyes and looked at Natalie
“In your opinion, I’m only a good-for-nothing fool who deserves being manipulated by you?” Melissa
asked. “Still, I must admit that you are an honorable stepmother. Even though Sophia is not your
biological daughter, you came when I used her to threaten you!”
Besides Melissa, there were two ugly and terrifying men standing behind her in the compartment.
Sophia’s mouth was sealed with duct tape and she could not speak even when she saw Natalie but only
managed to whimper a few times.
Her big eyes were already red and swollen from crying, like two walnuts.
Natalie demanded with a cold voice. “Let her go! Whatever it is, just settle it between us.”
“Well, we can settle things without setting her free!”
Melissa’s long fingernails moved over Sophia’s delicate face. Though she did not draw blood, they left
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtred scratch marks on her skin.
Sophia was scared and in pain but she could not make any sound. Natalie could see tears rolling down
her cheeks.
“Melissa, is the grudge you have against me so deeply entrenched?” Natalie frowned and spoke evenly.
“If this goes on, it won’t end well for me. You will be dragged along and pay for it as well!”
This method of exacting revenge could hurt the enemy but would cause more harm to oneself. Natalie
would never apply this even to Yara and Thomas.
Hence, she could not understand why Melissa would go so far.
“Natalie!” Melissa yelled angrily as she thrust Sophia away from her and onto her men behind her. With a
crazed and demanding tone, she questioned Natalie accusingly, “You are shameless enough to ask me
this? Why me? Why have you forced me into this situation?”
Natalie narrowed her eyes as she met Natalie’s vicious gaze which were full of venom.
“You were fighting over a man with Yara. If you have any grudge, you should go for her. Why did you get
me involved?” Melissa screamed and roared, “Why did you instruct Yandel to seduce me? When Yandel
started to fall in love with me, why did you instruct him to reject me? Why!”
Natalie frowned at Melissa’s rant.
She had indeed instructed Yandel to lead Melissa on. However, saying that she had asked Yandel to
seduce her was very far from the truth.
In the end, Yandel had been clear about rejecting Melissa’s advances, leaving no doubt at all. How did
Melissa perceive that she had ordered Yandel to reject her and prevented him from approaching her?
“Yandel really liked me! He even came to my home and had dinner with my parents. He really wanted to
marry me.” Melissa continued to rant. “You are the director of Dream and he is the CEO, and your
subordinate as well. You must have forced him. Or perhaps, you brainwashed or hypnotized him. Yandel
did not act on his own accord!”
All the while, Natalie had known that Melissa was having a one-sided love affair, but she did not realize
that she was at this stage of being delusional.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was true that she had exploited Melissa’s weakness.
However, Yandel had not led Melissa on or encouraged her.
No one with logical thinking could make up a story like that and put all the blame on her.
“Melissa, I did not do that,” Natalie said sternly.
“Natalie, even at this point, you are denying it!” Melissa clasped her own head, laughing and crying. “You
have torn a loving couple apart. I will not let you live happily with Samuel!”
Melissa screamed so loudly that her voice became hoarse, and her eyes clouded over.
Natalie observed Melissa and noticed that she was not her normal self. Her bloodshot eyes looked like
they were bleeding and her emotions were close to a breakdown.
This was no normal hatred!
Melissa seemed to have taken some illegal drugs which had pumped up her system, and made her lose
control of herself after a little stimulation. She was feeling as if her whole body would explode at any
time!
