[Mrs. Scott just beat up Sophia.]
Watching the video, Natalie felt an unexpected wave of relief wash over her.
She texted Luna back.
[Come on back. Nothing more to see. When I left the Scott family, I gave Wendy a heads-up. She started looking into it and set this all up to trap Nathan. We can just sit back and watch them tear each other apart now.]
[Fine. But you shouldn’t have warned her. They’re both vicious and disgusting. Why help them at all?]
Luna, annoyed, put her phone down and drove off.
Sophia limped back up to the second floor and found Nathan lying on the sofa, scrolling through his phone. The memory of Wendy witnessing her humiliation sent a fresh wave of rage through her.
She stormed over, ready to unleash her fury, but Nathan spoke first. “Go make lunch. I’m hungry. Nothing rich or heavy, I can’t eat that right now. Make something light.”
He had been feeling increasingly unwell and didn’t dare eat anything too rich.
Sophia froze, then let out a bitter laugh. “Nathan, I married you to live a life of comfort, not to be your servant. I spent years living in the shadows, and you expect me to wait on you now? Impossible. I’ll order you some takeout.”
“Takeout?” Nathan’s brow furrowed. He sat up, glaring at her. “Sophia, how could you make me eat takeout? Wendy would never let me eat takeout.”
“Heh…” Sophia sneered, her eyes filled with resentment. “Nathan, when you were hitting me, Wendy was standing right outside watching. You embarrassed me, you humiliated me, and now you expect me to cook for you? Dream on.”
“She was good to you, yes, but you’re divorced now. She has nothing to do with you. She probably wishes you were dead. You really think she’s going to make you lunch?”
“Nathan, have you woken up from your dream yet?”
Her mocking tone grated on him, and his eyes flashed with anger. Then her words sank in. “Wait, you said Wendy was outside the villa watching us?”
“That’s right! So if you want to eat, you might as well go eat dirt.” Sophia shot back, then spun around and slammed the bedroom door.
Nathan, however, was suddenly thrilled. Did this mean Wendy still had feelings for him? Was she worried he wasn’t eating or sleeping well in the cold?
