Chapter 276


    Mr. ckwood pouted. “What do you mean, ‘choose’? Do you think you’re picking cabbages at the


    supermarket? I can’t just produce one of my pieces when you ask me to!”


    Shane’s lips curved into a smile. “I heard from my sources that you still have a Blossoming Prosperity


    teacup that you haven’t sold yet.”


    Mr. ckwood’s face twitched. “Who—who did you hear that from?”


    Shane turned around to look at him. “Oh, does it really matter? Come on, hand it over. I have somend


    in the capital that I can rent out to you for peanuts. You can build your kiln there.”


    Mr. ckwood looked as though he was about to protest. His mouth opened uncertainly before he


    mped it shut and sighed. “I’ve lost to you again! Alright, then, I’ll go and get it for you! Jeez.”


    Mr. ckwood stuck his hands behind him and tottered into the storage room.


    That night, Natalie showed up at the Moore Residence with the teacup in hand. After asking one of their


    servants, she was informed that Mr. Moore was in his study. She decided to make her way there herself.


    However, just as she had taken two steps, a woman dashed out from the crowd and ran right into her,


    bumping so heavily into Natalie that she stumbled a little.


    Natalie recovered her bnce quickly and didn’t fall. However, there was a throbbing pain in her


    shoulder that made her frown in agony.


    The woman wasn’t as lucky. She was wearing ten-inch stilettos. When she bumped into Natalie, she


    stumbled backward pathetically before falling onto the ground on her bottom. The ss of red wine in


    her hand shattered onto the floor with a loud crash. In an instant, the floor was covered with ss shards


    and red wine.


    Natalie didn’t bother to see who it was. Seeing that they had bumped heavily into each other, she quickly


    bowed to the woman and apologized. “I’m sorry! Are you alright?”


    However, the woman waspletely livid. A look of rage shed across her beautiful face. She


    struggled up from the floor and raised her hand to p Natalie across the face.


    Noticing that the woman hadn’t replied to her, Natalie thought she was in so much pain that she could


    barely speak. She looked up at her in concern.


    She never expected to see the woman’s hand swinging down towards her.

    Her eyes trembled a little. Natalie reached out to grab the woman’s hand instinctively and took a curious


    look at the woman’s face. When she realized who it was, she felt a little stunned. “Ms. Moore?”


    What a coincidence. She had bumped straight into Isabelle.


    Isabelle’s was contorted with rage. She tried to shake her hand free, but Natalie’s grip was simply too


    strong. Instead, the woman hollered, “Let go of me!”


    Natalie refused to obey her order. Looking up at Isabelle, she said, “I’ll do that if you promise not to get


    physical again.”


    Isabelle would never agree to that. Laughing coldly, she replied, “How dare you knock me onto the floor


    and make a fool of me in front of all these people? I have a good mind to give you a good beating!”


    Hearing this, Natalie frowned with displeasure. “My apologies, Ms. Moore, but I can’t let go of you then.


    Although I was wrong for knocking you over, I’ve already apologized. Shall we just let this matter go?”


    “Who cares if you did? I never epted your apology!” Isabelle snapped, ring at her.


    Natalie pursed her lips. “Well, how do you want to settle this, then?”


    Isabelle pointed at the mess on the floor and smiled cruelly. “Kneel on the floor and clean this up for me.


    I’ll let you off the hook then.”


    Thest time in the boutique, she had fallen for Natalie’s tricks and bought a bunch of gowns, maxing out


    all her credit cards in the process. When her grandfather found out, he grounded her at home and


    reduced her pocket money by half. Isabelle had been theughing stock of her circle of friends since


    then.


    Isabelle would never forgive Natalie for this. Every night, she dreamt of getting revenge on her. However,


    she had never found an opportunity to do so, and she was too afraid to go to the Thompson Group to


    look for her. Now that the time hade, atst. I will make sure to humiliate Natalie in front of all these


    people and send her home in disgrace!


    Upon hearing Isabelle’s conditions, Natalie’s face clouded over. A steely look appeared in her eyes as


    she looked furiously at Isabelle.


    Kneeling on the floor and cleaning up this mess was way too humiliating!


    Natalie flung her arm away. She noticed the look of self-satisfaction on Isabelle’s face and realized


    something. Narrowing her eyes, Natalie asked, “Did you do that on purpose?”


    “What?” Isabelle asked, rubbing her arms.


    Natalie clenched her hands into fists. “You bumped into me on purpose so you could have a perfect


    opportunity to humiliate me, didn’t you?”
