Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 1175

Shane glared at Lucy. His words had got her to stumble backward, and her face turned pale.

Silas saw how she reacted, so he delivered the final blow by adding, “Now, Ms. Rivers, do you still think it was purely a good deed that you rescued Mr. Thompson?”

“I didn’t know that rescuing you would result in so much trouble. I was trying to be nice. If it wasn’t for me, you—”

“If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve returned to my family ages ago. My men were already looking for me when you showed up, and I would’ve been fine even if you weren’t there. They would’ve found me sooner, and my wife wouldn’t be triggered after hearing how I was missing!” interrupted Shane cruelly and sternly.

Lucy’s legs gave way, and she fell onto the floor, looking stunned.

How did things turn out this way? I rescued him out of the kindness of my heart, but he is blaming me for it. He’s even claiming that my help was unnecessary!

Silas seemed to have seen through what Lucy was thinking. “Ms. Rivers, please don’t blame us for being so straightforward. That is just the truth. Your so-called rescue ended up getting us in a lot of trouble, and we’re already being nice in recognizing your effort. You understand that, right?”

Lucy’s eyelashes fluttered.

Understand? How can I possibly understand? Why should I? All I know is that you guys are twisting the facts and disapproving my efforts!

Lucy trembled a little. She simply couldn’t accept something like that.

Silas pushed his glasses up and added, “Truth was, we wouldn’t have behaved this way if you had called the police immediately after you found Mr. Thompson. There is no point in saying any of that now. Ms. Rivers, please allow me to give you some kind advice. Keep your unpleasant thoughts at bay and to yourself. You finally have a job, so focus on that. If you don’t, you’ll end up losing your job and embarrassing yourself.”

Lucy’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She quickly shifted her gaze to Shane.

Unfortunately, Shane wasn’t looking at her. He checked the watch on his wrist and was nonchalant when he ordered, “Let’s go, Silas.”

“Understood,” Silas replied and left with Shane.

The two men were gone, just like that.

Lucy, however, stood there and remained stunned.

After some time, she suddenly curled into a ball, put her head between her knees, and cried out loud.

This is too much. Shane is too harsh. I rescued him and waited for so long to give him some kind advice. I did it all for his sake. In the end, he didn’t thank me for it and treated me so cruelly instead. If possible, I truly wish that I didn’t love him, but it’s too late. I am utterly in love with him.

In the car, Shane, leaning against the backrest, massaged his temple in exhaustion and instructed, “Call the janitorial department and have them assign more tasks to Lucy. Make sure she is so busy that she won’t have the time to run around and pull a stunt like that again. If she fails to complete all of her tasks, just fire her.”

“Understood,” replied Silas with a smile. “But I think Lucy will finish all the tasks assigned to her, even if she is unhappy with it. She will do anything to stay here, knowing that she won’t see you again if she

leaves. She—” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Shut up!” Shane growled.

Silas chuckled and stopped talking.

A hint of hatred flashed across Shane’s eyes.

If I had known how troublesome Lucy would be, I would have asked my men to keep her trapped in that village for the rest of her life.

Unfortunately, things are set in stone now. I just wish that she would realize who she is and stop behaving like this. If she doesn’t, I will not show her any mercy.

Soon, they arrived at the Thompson villa.

The living room was empty. Upon asking the housekeeper, Shane learned that the two kids were playing in their room. Natalie, on the other hand, was working in her studio.

Shane handed his briefcase to the housekeeper before he walked up the stairs to the studio on the second floor.

He didn’t knock and went in directly instead.

Natalie had her back to him and was sitting in front of a sewing machine. She was so focused on her job that she didn’t notice anyone entering the room.
