Natalie knew what she wanted to say and cut her off immediately.
No forgiveness was her final answer.
In her past life, she had seen all their true colors.
She also stood up. "The reason I told you the truth was because you could also help me deal with Joanna."
"At Joanna's birthday party, when you and Nathan decided to cut ties with me, you were sincere. And so am I."
"Your lives have nothing to do with me. Mrs. Scott, please leave. And take your soup with you. I don't want it."
Her attitude was utterly cold. She truly would not forgive them.
Wendy didn't take the soup. She walked out with her head bowed, crying, her back hunched with a profound sorrow.
Natalie stood up and called for Luna, asking her to return the thermal container to Wendy. Then, she got back to work.
Nothing could stop her from making money now.
Only by becoming stronger could she stand firm in this world full of challenges and competition. Only then could she withstand the storms of life and protect the warm harbor in her heart. Only then could she chase those once-distant dreams and prevent the light of hope from dimming. Only then would she have the courage and strength to fight back against injustice and hardship, to make a change. Only then could she stand out from the crowd and shine with her own unique light.
Natalie took a deep breath and threw herself into her work. There were still many documents to review.
When Wendy reached the ground floor, Luna caught up with her. "Ma'am, please take this back. She has plenty of people to make her soup."
Wendy knew from her investigation that Luna was Natalie's assistant. "Luna, has Natalie... has she been doing well lately?" she asked, her eyes red.
Luna replied, "She’s doing great. We grew up with her. Even without the love of her parents, she's more brilliant than any of you could ever hope to be."
With that cold statement, Luna placed the container in Wendy's arms and walked away.
Wendy stood in the wind and snow, weeping softly. Natalie would never forgive her in this lifetime.
