She stopped smiling and reverted to her aloof demeanor. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
"I see.So you do know what a crime is.I thought you were ignorant about it."
"Excuse me?"
Lucy bit down on her lip.She was getting more and more anxious.
Natalie snorted icily, "Good game, well played, Lucy.You distracted everyone from the crime you committed, yet at the same time, you kept harping on the crime others had committed.Have you no shame?"
"You-" Lucy blanched at her words while clenching her fists.
It took her a while to loosen her fists.
Once she pulled herself together, she shot daggers at Natalie and asked, "Since you accused me of being involved in a crime, why don't you tell me what crime I've committed?"
"You want to know? Sure.I'll enlighten you."
Natalie leaned against the couch and raised her index finger.
"First of all, you kept harassing my husband.This action of yours had accounted for stalking and criminal harassment.Secondly, you drove a wedge between my husband and me, trying to get him to divorce me so that you could replace me.It's not illegal, but it's against morals and good customs!"
Natalie lifted her third finger and stared at Lucy's pallid face.
"Last but not least, you spread rumors about me during the flight just now.Not only did your action tarnish my reputation, but it also caused me to experience a great deal of emotional distress.And that, Ms.Rivers, is a form of defamation.So what do you think? Do you still dare claim that you've not committed any crime?"
Lucy opened her mouth and wanted to retaliate, yet the words somehow stuck in her throat.
Deep in her heart, she knew these actions were criminal, but she refused to admit them.
The remarks Natalie made had rendered Lucy speechless.She could not help but grimace as she tried to conceal her guilt.
"Don't you have anything to say, Ms.Rivers? I guess I can take your silence as acquiescence, can't I? So it's not wrong for me to say you've double standards, right?" Natalie said.
"You want to report me to the cops and tell them I imprisoned you? Go ahead.I'll not stop you.But before that, let's talk about the rumors you spread about me on the plane.How would you like to compensate me, Ms.Rivers?"
"Why must I compensate you?"
Lucy widened her eyes.
"Fine! I admit I made those remarks earlier, but you didn't suffer any losses either, so why should I compensate you? I don't mind apologizing to you, but compensation? Over my dead body!"
She defended herself and looked up at Natalie with a scowl, as she believed Natalie was outright extorting her.She also felt making a few false statements about Natalie was not a big deal.
Who is she to demand compensation from me? I've never met someone who could shamelessly demand compensation in such a manner! Upon noticing how furious Lucy was, Natalie let out a
mirthless laugh.
Did she really think I made that up to extort her?
"Do you think you don't have to compensate me for tarnishing my reputation? Do you think I made this up so I can extort you?"
A corner of Natalie's lips quirked up.
Lucy gradually looked up and gave her a sidelong stare.
"Isn't that extortion? I've only made a few remarks about you.I didn't even injure you, yet you demand compensation from me? Don't you think that's a little ridiculous?"
Upon hearing that, Natalie laughed even louder.
"Ridiculous? Do you think what I did is ridiculous? Apparently, you still don't quite understand what a crime is.I guess I've overestimated your intelligence, Ms.Rivers.Not only did you not have morals and principles, but you also don't seem to have a brain"
"How dare you!"
Lucy stood up, and her eyes glowed with a towering rage.
Natalie secretly rolled her eyes and gestured for her bodyguard, Sigmund, to go over.
