Chapter 53

The baby-faced girl couldn’t stand seeing so many people bully Natasha. She clenched her fists in anger, ready

to step out and call them out.

But her friend quickly grabbed her arm, holding her back.

She looked over at Natasha, who stayed calm and collected even with everyone staring at her.

Shaking her head at her friend, she said, “Calm down. She can handle it.”

Today had been so intense that she'd been keeping an eye on Natasha for a while.

Natasha didn’t look the least bit surprised the entire time.

Even when Natasha put on a sad face, she never really looked heartbroken.

She guessed Natasha probably already knew about Lucas and Olivia, and maybe she got smoves lined up.

They felt that they should just let her handle it her way.

Natasha glanced at the girl who asked the question, then at the nervous Wright couple, and finally at her own

family.

They all looked really anxious.

They knew Natasha better than anyone else, and they understood just how unpredictable she could be.

Andrew felt a jolt in his chest. He really didn’t want any more stress tonight.

In his anxiety, he mouthed to Natasha, “The bracelet.”

Next to him was Madeline. No one could tell what she was thinking.

She clenched her fists tightly.

Everything had happened so fast tonight, and there was still confusion in her eyes.

She thought, ‘How has Natasha's engagement turned into Olivia's?"

As a mother, she knew just how much Natasha liked Lucas.

All those years when Natasha wasn’t getting along with the family, Madeline had to rely on Lucas to hear

anything about how she was doing.

From what Lucas shared, it was obvious to Madeline that Natasha was always relaxed and happy when she was

with him.

Madeline could also tell that Lucas loved her, too.

Now that the engagement had ended up with someone else, Madeline wondered what Natasha was supposed to

do. She knew that Natasha must be devastated.

But Olivia was already Lucas’s fiancée.

If Natasha started talking about her history with Lucas, people might start gossiping about Olivia or twist things

against her.

Madeline’s mind was a mess. She had no idea what she even wanted to hear anymore.

All she could do was look away.

Natasha gave a small smile. Instead of replying to the person who asked, she turned her gaze to Thomas, who

was watching her nervously.

He kept insisting he'd stand up for her and make it up to her.

She tilted her head, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. “As for this question, why don’t | let my brother

answer it for me?”

Thomas suddenly clenched his fists.

Everyone's eyes shifted to the elegant and distinguished Thomas.

But he just stared at Natasha, his lips parted as if to speak, but his face remained tense.

The woman who asked the question laughed and urged, “What's wrong? Is this question that hard to answer?”

Thomas felt like he'd never been caught in such a dilemma before.

If he admitted that Lucas and Natasha had been in a relationship, then Olivia would be branded as the person

who stole Natasha's boyfriend, even though Olivia was now officially engaged to Lucas.

But if he said no, that would mean denying everything between Natasha and Lucas.

With the way people already judged Natasha, they might assNatasha had always been the clingy one

chasing after Lucas.

No matter what he said, one of his sisters would end up hurt.

Thomas said while carefully avoiding Natasha's bright, clear eyes, “They never dated.”

He turned to the woman who asked the question and continued, “Those rumors are just baseless gossip.

“The three of them have known each other since they were kids, so of course they're close. But to Lucas,

Natasha's just like a little sister to him.”

Natasha thought, ‘Just a sister...

“That is his final conclusion.

‘It is almost word for word what Lucas said back then.

Natasha let out a loud, almost mocking laugh.

She thought, ‘This is my brother. He apologized earlier, but all the while stabbingover and over with his

actions.

‘Does he not get what denyinglike this means? Yet he still leftto face all the backlash and gossip on my

own.

‘Because Olivia is the fragile one who needs protection, and the Wright family is a closely tied business partner

who has to keep up appearances.

‘So what if | get even more dirt piled on me? | already have a bad reputation.

‘Typical of a family of businessmen. They always know that they have how to prioritize profit.

‘How ironic. Back when | said | didn’t want to marry Lucas, they tried every trick in the book to stop me. They

even went so far as to threatenwith my grandmother’s keepsake.

‘But now, in just a few short hours, since it concerns Olivia and their benefit, they cutoff without even

blinking.”

She laughed, bold and biting, but somehow, that laughter only made the whole scene feel even more bitter and

sad.

The baby-faced girl held onto the hand of the girl in the yellow dress beside her and whispered, “Do you really

think they never dated?”

The girl in the yellow dress smirked. “The Clark family made it official in front of everyone. Even if they did date,

now it’s like it never happened.”

The Clark family couldn’t afford to lose face over a guy tangled up with both of their daughters.

It was supposed to be her birthday, yet she looked like she was standing all alone against her whole family.

Her friend was right. They were definitely bullying her.

The woman with big, wavy hair in a black dress shrieked, “How could that be? It was obviously you and Lucas

who were dating!”

She scoffed, crossing her arms, “So what is it? Either you were eyeing your sister's boyfriend, or Olivia was the

homewrecker who swooped in and stole him.”

No one dared look at Natasha.

Sthings were better left unsaid. If nobody called it out, everyone could just play dumb and maybe gossip a

little behind the scenes.

But someone just had to blow things up and ruin the vibe for everyone.

“Miss Delgado, watch what you say!” Thomas cut in sharply.

He was always a gentle and refined man, but right now, his face was so dark it was almost frightening.

Salena Delgado rushed over and grabbed Faye Delgado’s arm. “That's enough, shut your mouth!

“Why are you sticking your nose into someone else’s family business?”

The Turner family might look down on Natasha's background, but the Clark family still held plenty of status in

their own circle.

Besides, Thomas was young and accomplished, and the Clark family was thriving. No one knew how far they

would go in the future.

Salena pinched Faye’s waist hard. Everyone knew the Clark family doted on Olivia.

Picking on Natasha was one thing, but airing all this out in public was crazy.

She also couldn't stand Natasha, who once stole her man and now was acting all pitiful and

weak.

As a true hater at heart, she was just there to stir the pot.

She felt that none of those three deserved a happy ending.

In the middle of the tense standoff, Natasha let out a low, mocking chuckle.

She casually twirled a strand of hair in front of her chest, her tone light but pointed.

She said, “Miss Delgado, if you don’t want to listen to gossip, shouldnt you at least believe what the people

involved say?

“My brother already said that Lucas and | are just friends. He's telling the truth. Isn't that right, my dear brother-

in-law?”

The first part was aimed at Faye, but that last part was clearly meant for Lucas who had just
