Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 3096: Chapter 3105: A Slap That Shatters Her Self-Deception

Renee Anderson, looking utterly terrible, was taken to the medical room for a simple dressing by the security staff.

Although Natasha Phillips was injured too, she looked much better than Renee. After Renee left, she still glared furiously in Renee’s direction, as if she wished she could jump on her and beat her up again.

If Adam Sinclair hadn’t suddenly spoken at that moment, she would have rushed out, ”Ms. Phillips, I just recorded your little scene of letting yourself go and sent it to my dad. He should have received it by now.”

Natasha Phillips froze completely, only recalling Benjamin Sinclair. Today was headache enough for her, with blow after blow, and then Colin Rivers suggested that Alexander and Leah get a divorce. She felt even more anxious and miserable! Hearing Adam’s words, a fire inexplicably smoldered in her chest, and she no longer bothered to pretend. She sneered at Adam, crossing her arms and saying, ”So what if you sent it to your dad? Do you think this can take me down? You’re too naive! You think you can do it? Your mom is so formidable, and all these years she hasn’t been able to deal with me, has she?”

She had been with Benjamin Sinclair for decades; she could arguably say she knew this man better than anyone. She had ways to win back his heart, and Adam thought he could sow discord with her out-of-control video—too naive!

Adam’s eyes were full of mockery as he looked at her, his thin lips moving, ”You’re overestimating yourself. It’s not that my mom can’t deal with you; she just never bothered to acknowledge you!”

Natasha Phillips’s deepest pain was this, and she retorted, ”Hmph, say what you want, she still lost to me. What’s the use of being powerful if her man still chose me.”

Olivia Lewis heard Natasha’s provocative words, furrowed her brows slightly, and discreetly grasped the man’s wrist, silently conveying strength.

Adam hadn’t taken Natasha’s words to heart from the beginning; compared to her, he was more attuned to Olivia’s subtle gestures.

Warmth spread in his eyes.

His once numb heart now had warmth to shield it, no longer feeling the chill he once had in Natasha’s presence.

He cast an indifferent glance at the woman who desperately tried to prove herself, finding it suddenly laughable, ”You claim he chose you to live in the shadow of my mom all your life? You can’t attend any event my mom goes to, can’t wear the styles she wears, can’t buy the jewelry she likes... This is your idea of being chosen? Then please, let him keep choosing you. My mom doesn’t care, I don’t care. No matter how you scuttle around him, Alexander Sinclair will never enter the board of directors. Do you know why?”

”...”

”Because from the moment he ’chose’ you, he lost the power to choose an heir. The only possible Chairman of Sinclair International is me! Alexander can sell himself, but even if he sold a kidney, he could never have this position! That’s why my mom has never bothered with you! You’re just an optional indulgence for a man, something she never needed to lower herself to appease or rely on enticing a man for; she could achieve everything herself without needing the scraps unwanted by a man’s fingertips.”

Natasha Phillips felt as if she’d been slapped hard in the face, her facade of pride shattered to pieces.
