Chapter 275 The Appearance of a Romantic Rival

Chapter 275 The Appearance of a Romantic Rival

Cynthia was completely confused.

But out of politeness, she still maintained a polite smile. "I'm sorry, I think there's some misunderstanding between us."

"There's no misunderstanding. Augustus and I grew up together. He promised to marry me when we were kids. I can't believe that after just a few years abroad, someone took my place!"

"Augustus?" Cynthia frowned.

Natalia Soto looked at Cynthia with disdain. "You're so shameless, being a mistress. How did your parents raise you? Is your mom a mistress too?"

Cynthia's face darkened. She didn't care about being insulted herself, but she couldn't allow anyone to say anything bad about her mother!

"If you're sick in the head, go see a doctor," Cynthia said coldly. "Don't act crazy in front of me."

"You!" Natalia was about to fight back when Cynthia interrupted her again.

"There are too many women who want to marry Augustus. You're just the one with the worst delusions among millions. Wake up from your dream and get lost. Stop being an eyesore here."

"Who are you saying has delusions?"

Natalia was furious. "Come on! If you dare, let's go upstairs right now and confront each other in front of Augustus! He'll definitely take my side!"

"Whatever."

Cynthia couldn't be bothered to say more and turned toward the elevator. Natalia followed behind her.

Cynthia entered the elevator but didn't press any buttons. She glanced at Natalia.

"What's wrong? You claim to be Augustus's fiancée, but you don't even have an access card to the Winthrop Group building?"

The Winthrop Group building only allowed internal staff to enter freely, so everyone had an access card. The elevator was specially set up and couldn't operate without a card.

"I told you, I just came back from abroad. It's normal not to have a card! Augustus will give me one soon."

"You came back from abroad, and Augustus didn't personally pick you up?" Cynthia's tone was full of sarcasm.

Natalia's chest heaved with anger.

"If it weren't for you, this shameless mistress, seducing him, why wouldn't Augustus come pick me up?"

Cynthia said nothing and directly pressed the emergency button.

Soon, security arrived. Cynthia pointed at the arrogant woman in front of her.

"She doesn't have credentials and is trespassing. Please deal with this."

The security guard looked at Natalia. "Miss, please provide your name."

"Natalia Soto."

The security guard checked the system. "Sorry, you're not on the approved visitor list. Please leave."

"What do you mean!" Natalia's face looked terrible. "How dare you guard dogs stop me? I'm here to see Augustus! When he finds out how you treated me, you'll be in trouble!"

The security guard patiently reminded her again, "Please leave, or we'll have to use force."

"I'm not leaving. What can you do about it?"

The security guard stopped wasting time, afraid of delaying Cynthia.

The guard stepped forward and grabbed Natalia's arm.

"Sorry, we have to force you to leave."

Natalia shouted excitedly, "What are you doing! Let go of me! I want to see Augustus!"

Frank happened to be coming back from outside. He had just parked his car when he heard the commotion from the elevator area.

He walked over quickly and was a bit surprised when he saw Natalia's face.

"Ms. Soto?"

"Frank!" Natalia saw a familiar face and instantly felt saved. "These people ganged up to bully me. Help me punish them severely!"

When the security guard saw that Frank knew this woman, he quickly let go, looking nervous, afraid of being blamed by Frank.

"Mr. Scott, we..."

The security guard was about to explain when Frank waved his hand. "You did nothing wrong. Go back to your work."

The security guard breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.

Natalia looked incredulous. "Frank! They treated me like that! And you're not going to punish them?"

"Ms. Soto, this is the Winthrop Group. You don't have the right to enter. The security guards did nothing wrong."

"You!" Natalia pointed at Frank's face. "Have you forgotten my relationship with Augustus? Don't think that just because you've been by Augustus's side for many years, you're better than everyone else. I can get Augustus to fire you anytime!"

"Ms. Soto, I'm sorry, but if you can reach Mr. Winthrop, please tell him yourself. Ms. Lockhart is still waiting to go upstairs. Please don't block the elevator."

"You!"

Natalia was furious. "Fine! You all wait! Just wait! I won't let any of you off!"

With that, she left angrily.

Frank looked at Cynthia apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Lockhart. That was embarrassing."

"Who is she really? Does she actually know Augustus?"

Frank nodded helplessly. "She's Eldon's daughter, the daughter of the former Noble Build owner."

Noble Build again?

Cynthia became even more curious.

"What exactly is the relationship between Noble Build and the Winthrop Group?"

"Eldon was originally just a worker. By chance, he saved Mr. Sebastian Winthrop. To repay him, Mr. Sebastian Winthrop helped him start Noble Build and gave him many resources, which is how he became rich overnight."

"Then what about this Natalia claiming to be Augustus's fiancée?"

When Frank heard this, he panicked immediately. "Ms. Lockhart, please don't listen to her nonsense. Mr. Winthrop is not that kind of person!"

But Frank's knowledge was really limited. He didn't know why Natalia would say such things.

"I'll go upstairs and ask Augustus."

Frank looked troubled. "Mr. Winthrop went out this afternoon. He's not at the company..."

"I'll call Mr. Winthrop right now. When he knows you're waiting for him, he'll definitely come back quickly!"

Frank was afraid Cynthia would get angry about this.

If Cynthia got angry, Augustus would definitely be in a bad mood too.

And when Augustus was in a bad mood, the unluckiest person would be him.
