The more chaos Elaine caused, the better. It would be best if she beat Natalie to death, and even better if she could force Richard to finally sign the share transfer agreement.
It would make lying here on this cold floor, playing dead, all worth it.
Natalie looked down at Marie. She was supposed to be unconscious, but the corners of her mouth were twitching, struggling to hold back a smile. She was clearly pleased with herself, believing she had Elaine wrapped around her finger.
“You two, stop fighting,” Natalie said. “As I said, I have a gift for the Ward family. A gift to wish you peace and a happy reunion.”
At Natalie’s words, Elaine’s anger flared even brighter. She pointed a trembling finger at Natalie and screamed.
“My son is dead because of you! My daughter has one foot in the grave because of you! And now you wish us peace and a reunion? I see your malicious intent. You are despicable!”
Elaine tried to lunge at Natalie again, but Richard held her back firmly.
He couldn’t let Elaine attack Natalie. But why would Natalie say such a thing?
For the Ward family, who was mourning the loss of their son, the word “reunion” was completely inappropriate.
Lying on the floor, Marie could barely contain herself. If she weren’t pretending to be unconscious, she would have jumped up and hurled a few more accusations at Natalie.
Her brother was dead, yet Natalie was talking about a reunion. It was a blatant mockery of the Ward family, a curse upon them all. It was sure to send Elaine into another frenzy, maybe even slap Natalie a few times. What a pity she was stuck on the floor playing dead and couldn’t join in.
Just then, she felt someone kick her twice.
Natalie looked down at Marie. “Give it up, Marie. If you keep playing the martyr, you’re going to miss the grand finale.”
Natalie nudged Marie with her foot again. Marie hesitated. Should she get up and sling more mud at Natalie? But if she did that, wouldn’t it prove she could hear everything and had been faking it? Better to stay put.
Marie remained motionless. At that moment, Natalie spoke towards the door.
