CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1515

“That may be true, but it won't be easy to win a dense guy over, especially when jewelry is all that he cares about!” Lina said with a frown.

“So what? The harder the pursuit is, the more rewarding it will be! I'm sure the outcome will be worth it. Besides, you're so pretty, Lina! I'm certain you'll have no issues winning his heart over!” Natalie gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder as she continued, “Once this competition is over, you can head back and try to hang out with him as much as possible. Even if you make a phone call every day can really help bring you two closer to each other.”

Lina nodded. “Yeah, you're right. This is all I can do for now.”

“All right, let's drop this conversation and get back to work. We can rest once we're done here,” Natalie said as she returned to her desk.

Lina stretched in her seat. “Okay, back to work!”

They then proceeded to focus on their work. About half an hour later, they were finally done and went back to their respective rooms to get some sleep.

Natalie had just stepped out of her room the next morning when she received a call from the Chanaean police about Lucy.

Apparently, the Chanaean police had taken custody of her after her deportation. As there was sufficient evidence of her crime, her trials went by rather quickly, and it was soon time for the court to hand down her sentence.

The police were calling Natalie to inform her that the court had sentenced Lucy to five years of imprisonment.

Natalie wasn't too surprised when she heard that.

After all, Lucy had gotten popular by plagiarizing her designs to obtain tickets to the competition. That act alone was a serious enough crime to get her three years of imprisonment.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the event organizer also filed a complaint against Lucy. After all, her actions had discredited the organizer, affecting its reputation and credibility in the eyes of others. That has led to a decline in the value of the competition, making it come off as cheap.

Given the damage Lucy had done, it was only natural that the event organizer would take legal action against her in retaliation.

Natalie believed that the event organizer had contributed to her receiving the five-year prison sentence.

Besides, she had a feeling it wouldn't just end there. The organizer would probably also arrange for some of the inmates to bully Lucy every day.

Even so, Natalie felt no sympathy for her whatsoever. She needed to be punished severely for her shameless and evil deeds.

That was the only way to ensure she would learn her lesson and behave in the future.

“Good morning, Nat!” Lina greeted her the moment she got off the phone. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Natalie turned around and saw Lina yawning as she made her way toward her. “Good morning, sleepyhead! What's the matter? Did you not sleep well last night?”

“Yeah, I went to bed pretty late because I stayed up chatting with Bryan,” Lina replied while rubbing her eyes.

Natalie arched an eyebrow at her in response. “Oh? Did you have a really long chat?”

“Yeah, I gave him a call after returning to my room. I just wanted to have a little chat with him, but we ended up dragging the conversation out,” Lina explained.

“I'm guessing you didn't make much progress, then. Otherwise, you should be overjoyed by now,” Natalie commented.

Lina let out a huge sigh. “You know me very well. I guess it can't be helped, though. He's such a dense person, after all. Still, that chat has taught me to be patient and take my time with him.”

Natalie nodded. “Well said. All right, let's go get breakfast and head over to the competition hall.”

“Okay.”

The two then had breakfast in the dining room before heading over to the competition hall to carry out their duties as judges.

After the competition ended in the afternoon, Natalie quickly drove to the airport with a huge smile on her face.

As it was a weekend, Shane would be bringing the two kids along when picking her up.

It had been a week since she last saw the three of them, so she was missing them like crazy. They had been video-calling each other on a daily basis, but it wasn't enough. She needed to see them in person.
