Chapter 16 Well-intentioned indeed
"Over the years living abroad, Mango was no stranger to spotlights. That light just happened looked no strange to her either."
"As sinister as five years ago, typical Macy. On one hand, she came asking for forgiveness; on the other hand, she secretly arranged to record this scene. If Mango was right, when she decided to join Infiniverse Group, this video would probably appear on the Internet not long after, as evidence of Katherine's ""bullying"" Macy."
"By the time, Mango would be accused like five years ago. Plus her fame as a well-known designer and a member of the H`J Group. It would not only about her reputation at that time."
Well-intended.
"Mango sneered, ""Miss Cho, what trick is this? First slapped and kicked me out of the company, now acting miserable at my door. And right now bringing paparazzi over there. Apologize or scandalize? You tell me."""
Macy's face instantly turned pale.
"Miss Shen, I don't know what you are talking about. I sincerely come to ask for your forgiveness. Nathan, I..."
"A talented actor, Miss Cho. Unfortunately, you could use some intelligence and wealth. Next time you scheme to setup someone, find expensive ones, who know how to hide reflections."
Mango's words made Nathaniel squint.
"He looked around quickly. Somewhere far, a suspicious figure rushed to a corner."
"Not new to Nathaniel. But he had to make a stand, his face darkened."
Go home. You are making a fool here.
"No, it's not like that. I don't know what she's talking about."
"Macy tried to explain, only made it worse."
"Nathaniel didn't know her personality, Macy would like to think that way. What's more important, she couldn't let Mango be cocky. Anyway, the paparazzi wouldn't tell on her. She just needed to deny it."
Mango had no interest in her performance.
"Leave your tricks at home. If you have any problem with me, just say it clearly. But Mr. Ye, I expect a settlement for what happened today. As of now, I'm a little tired. Excuse me."
Mango went back in and slammed the door behind her.
"The door almost smashed Nathaniel's face and caught him off guard. Nathaniel tried to dodge and stepped down, then fell to the ground!"
Watch out!
Macy caught him quickly. All care and worries.
"Are you okay? This woman is unbelievable. Car designer my ass. How dare she treat you like this? Maybe we don't want her anymore. As long as we can afford the money, we can find another one."
"Macy's words made Nathaniel frown again. He must suffer a lot these years, which made him an expert frowner."
"He shook off Macy's hand, turned to stare at her coldly."
"For the first time in his life, Nathaniel realized that he had never truly understood Macy."
"Despite her personality, Nathaniel always appreciated Macy. She gave birth to Wisdom Ye without considering her own reputation. To provide sound parenthood, she stayed in the Ye family with no title."
"Five years of living together, What Macy is made of, was not new to Nathaniel. However, Nathaniel was usually busy at work and was selectively and constantly shown with Macy's affectionate and gentle side. Nathaniel would think of Macy's true personality as merely defective dots, compared with her contribution to the family. But today, dots started to line up, and evidence began to piece up."
"It was true, Mango's identity and purpose were suspicious. But even though, Macy had never met Mango before. Slapping a stranger in public, harming the family's reputation? Intolerable. For the first time, Nathaniel realized how jealous Macy was. Perhaps Macy stayed in the family regardless of a title, was not entirely for his son."
Nathaniel felt inexplicably disgusted.
"Macy, you are in our family for five years?"
Nathaniel asked flatly.
"Macy was slightly surprised. Without knowing what Nathaniel meant, Macy had to nod."
"Yes, it's been five years."
"It's a long time. You have been wronged for my son these years. If you meet a suitable man, remember to let me know. I will announce in public you are the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Rest assured that a solid dowry will be prepared."
Nathaniel's words scared Macy.
"Nathan, what do you mean? You want me to leave the family? Why? Just because I offended Katherine... designer? Listen to me, I know I was wrong. I apologized to her. I didn't know about paparazzi, I didn't!"
Macy wept dramatically. Her pitiful look was the same as before.
"Nathaniel responded coldly, ""It has nothing to do with her. I am telling you the truth. You are not young anymore. Stop wasting your youth on the Ye family. Get your own life."""
"After that, Nathaniel turned and left."
"Macy's face was terribly pale, and her body was shaking."
No!
It couldn't happen!
"Decades of love, five years of waiting, ten months of pregnancy. After her contribution, it would be natural for Macy to wish for a future with Nathaniel. But in return, she got Nathaniel's ruthless words."
Was it because of this Katherine?
