Didn't you just tell me to drive that Beauty out of the Marson family?
She's nothing but an unwanted stray!
How dare she monopolize Lucas's affection!" Nathalie's eyes welled up with tears as she bit her pink lips tightly, casting a pitiful, aggrieved look at her mother.
"Right now, Lucas has no feelings for you.
How do you expect to push that little girl aside?
Didn't you hear his threat?
If we lay another finger on her, he won't spare the Anthony family.
Do you really want our entire Anthony enterprise to pay the price for your selfishness?"
"I refuse to give up!
That little tramp can't possibly have such power over him.
Lucas is just infatuated with her for the moment—let's see how long her smugness lasts!"
