And then he told her about Elaine's fake heart condition.Nathalie clenched her fists. "So, she wants me dead? What did I ever do to her to make her want my life? I already gave you up to her back then and I even decided to donate my heart to her just to prolong her life.""Well, she's not worth it. She's evil, and if she really needs a heart donor, it would be a mistake for anyone to donate to someone like her." "Never mind, it's over now. What's important is that she didn't succeed completely.

    Nathalie didn't see that coming from Nigel, she found herself glancing around at the people teasing them, egging her on to respond. Her eyes then landed on her parents.

"I'm your aunt!""You may be my aunt, but our relationship only goes as far as blood ties. You've never contributed anything to our lives, so learn your place.

And look, the bed is so soft!" "That's right, aunt. It's crazy how rich your sister's husband is. I'm so jealous." Lyka said while checking out the amenities in the room. Rina suddenly fell silent.

"Take us to your place instead.""No!" Nigel replied firmly.The young woman felt a little nervous. "A-aunt...." She shook her head at the older woman, but:"What no?
