Natalie froze for half a second, his words pressing against her like a weight she refused to carry. Slowly, she turned her head back toward him, her eyes sharp.

“Court?” she repeated, her voice low but steady. “Really?”

Liam nodded, that smug smile tugging at his lips like he’d already won.

Her gaze hardened. “Then maybe I should sue you and your entire family for emotional distress, adultery, bullying, and public defamation. Shall we go to court, Liam?”

For the first time, his smirk slipped.

“Cat got your tongue now?” She mocked, turning on her heel before he got a chance to respond. Liam’s jaw clenched as he watched her walk away. When he finally turned back, his eyes landed on his mother and sister. “Care to explain?”

His mother scoffed, folding her arms. “I can’t believe you’re taking that gold digger’s side.”

“Yes,” Lily added quickly. “She was so rude to Mother, and you—what? You wanted to apologize to her? I thought you didn’t want her anymore!”

Liam’s gaze hardened. “Not want

    Liam’s smirk faded the moment Natalie hung up. Mark glanced at him, unsure if he should comment.“Sir… should I—”“Don’t,” Liam cut him off, waving a hand. He tried to sound dismissive, but his voice came out tighter than he wanted.Mark hesitated, then lowered his eyes back to the papers. “She didn’t sound too happy.”Liam let out a sharp breath through his nose, more like a scoff than a laugh. “Happy? She should be grateful I even put up with her this long.”Mark stayed quiet, flipping a page, though the tension in the room made it clear he didn’t believe a word of it.Liam reached for his pen but didn’t write. His thoughts kept circling back to Natalie’s voice, confident, steady, like she wasn’t afraid of him anymore. His jaw tightened as he picked up his phone, dialing his mother. The line rang, once, twice… then cut off. No answer.He leaned back in his chair, the phone still in his hand. “Unbelievable,” he muttered. “The one time I need her to clean up her own mess…”Mark shift

    Mrs. Brooks’s face darkened, outrage flashing in her eyes. Clearly, she wasn’t used to anyone speaking to her in such a level tone, let alone contradicting her in public. “I can’t believe you would actually sleep with someone like him. How disgusting!” “Ma’am, I’m going to have to ask you to leave our mall. I am not sleeping with Miss Natalie, the owner is literally her….”. “There’s no point wasting breath on her,” Mia cut in, stepping forward with fire in her eyes. “People like this thrive on shamelessness.” She turned to face Mrs. Brooks directly, her voice carrying across the gathered crowd. “You want drama? Fine. I’ll give you drama.” Gasps rippled through the onlookers as Mia continued, “Since everyone’s already watching, let’s tell the truth, shall we? This so-called dignified woman has been clinging to her son’s marriage for years, depending on him like he’s her husband. Can anyone here honestly say they’d be fine living with a mother-in-law who treats them like a servant a

    Natalie held back her friend, knowing her mother-in-law loved nothing more than causing a scene. Three years of marriage had shown her exactly how low Mrs. Brooks could go.Mrs. Brooks smirked, clearly delighted to have drawn attention. “Oh, please. Is this the kind of company you keep now, Natalie? No wonder my son came to his senses.”Mia’s eyes narrowed, but Natalie tightened her grip on her arm, keeping her firmly in place. “We’re done here,” Natalie said flatly, stepping to the side to walk past them.But Lily moved to block their path, her expression dripping with contempt. “You can’t just walk away after disrespecting my mother. Apologize.”Natalie raised a brow, her patience thinning. “For what? Breathing in the same space as her?” She didn’t want to waste another second arguing with her ex mother in law. crowd was already surrounding them. Natalie’s jaw ached from holding her expression steady. Three years, and she still hasn’t changed. Still desperate to humiliate me, still

    “You know, it’s been ages since our last shopping trip,” Mia said, looping her arm through Natalie’s and practically hauling her toward the mall entrance.“Good thing, you’re free from the clutches of that witch of a husband of yours.” She added with a wicked grin.Natalie shot her a sideways look. “Ex-husband,” she corrected flatly, though the corner of her mouth twitched.“Details, details,” Mia waved off, already steering her toward the glass doors. “The point is, you’re single, you’re fabulous, and we’re going to spend an obscene amount of money today.”Natalie sighed but let herself be pulled along, the scent of fresh coffee and polished marble greeting them as they stepped inside. “You mean you are going to spend an obscene amount of your money.”“Whatever,” Mia said with a dismissive flick of her wrist. “Either way, I’m making a comeback for you, Natalie, heiress of the—”Natalie’s hand shot up, clamping over her friend’s mouth before she could finish. “Keep your voice down,” s

    Natalie had not woken up planning to host half the population of the city. Especially after she had gone to sleep angrily because of the foolish stunt Liam had pulled. She’d actually wanted the opposite. Her plan had been to drink her coffee in peace, scroll through the latest design trends and gallery openings, and maybe… maybe work on the sketch she’d abandoned five years ago. The universe, however, apparently thought her villa was a community center. The first knock came before she’d even finished her coffee. She opened the door to find Noah, standing there with a sheepish smile and both hands occupied, one with a box from a bakery so exclusive they didn’t even have a sign, and the other with a paper bag of what smelled suspiciously like the dim sums she used to adore as a child. “Good morning, Nat,” he said, like they hadn’t just seen each other two days ago. “I was passing by and thought you might need breakfast.” She gave him a flat look. “You don’t pass by this neigh
