CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1436

“That's enough, Lina. Let's not talk about that anymore and get some breakfast. We have to head to the competition hall soon.” Natalie patted her belly.

Lina nodded. “All right. Let's eat first. I'm getting hungry!”

Both of them headed to a restaurant together.

After they finished their breakfast, they drove to the competition hall.

Just as they arrived at the entrance, they bumped into Lucy, who was exiting a Bentley.

Mockery flashed past Natalie's eyes when she saw Lucy's branded clothing and bag, her straightened hair, and the car behind her. This woman may be a gold digger, but she usually doesn't dress up like one at all. She was probably so flattered by some rich brat that she forgot about her innocent and unworldly facade. Right now, she's revealing her true self, a smug nouveau riche.

Natalie proceeded to ignore her after that. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Lina, however, frowned when she saw Lucy, especially at the clothing and jewelry the latter was wearing. Her eyes were filled with contempt.

That look of hers infuriated Lucy and triggered her sense of inferiority.

Whether it was in terms of look, demeanor, capabilities, or family background, Lucy knew she couldn't win against the two women in front of her.

When she saw women who were superior to her looking at her like that, she naturally felt awful.

“Let's go, Lina,” Natalie said as she didn't want to talk to someone like Lucy.

Lina nodded. “Okay.”

Just as they were about to leave, Lucy unhappily crossed her arms and stopped them. “You're just going to leave immediately after seeing me, Mrs. Thompson? Am I such an eyesore to you?”

Stopping in her tracks, Natalie turned back and stared at her with furrowed eyebrows. “I'm sorry, but I didn't see you at all, so it's not a matter of whether you're an eyesore or not. To me, you're just air. Do you think I'd look into the air?”

“You!” Lucy's face contorted in rage. How dare this woman compare me to air! She's just treating me like I don't exist! This is even worse than giving me a bad attitude! If she thinks I'm an eyesore, at least it means she's acknowledging me. Yet here she is, acting like she didn't see me! I won't stand for this insult!

“What? Do you have any other business with us? If not, then step aside. We're heading in,” Lina uttered in annoyance as she rolled her eyes.

Lucy clasped her hands tightly as she ignored Lina. Her line of sight was only fixed on Natalie. “You may ignore me right now. However, in the future, I'll have you know what regret means!”

“Oh?” Natalie raised her eyebrow. “And what do you mean by that? Why would I regret anything?”

Lucy smiled smugly. “We're both currently the same, being costume designers. You may have become famous earlier than me, but I'll definitely surpass you. When I do, Shane will know I'm best suited for him, that I'm the person who can help him the most! When that time comes, you will regret ignoring me today!”

In her eyes, as capable as Natalie was as a designer, she was just a normal person. On the other hand, Lucy thought she had the upper hand over Natalie because she used plagiarized work.

Other designers' work consisted of many styles and had tons of variety, which was why she was certain she could win against Natalie.

Natalie couldn't help but laugh when she heard that.

Lina burst out laughing, too, as though she had just heard a joke. “Did you hear that, Nat? She actually said she'll surpass you! And that Mr. Thompson will be impressed by her!”

Natalie nodded with a mocking smile. “I heard that too. It's utterly hilarious. Not only that, but it's also ridiculous! A shameless person who stole someone else's design to participate in the competition not only said that she would overtake me, but that she also had designs on my husband! In ancient times, a person like that would've been stoned to death. Even in modern times, someone like that will be imprisoned for several years.”
