“Sorry, Mr.
Roberts.
You’re just not good enough to dance with me.
”
The people who passed by were taken aback by Lucinda’s words.
This woman was so full of herself!
How dare she say that Mr.
Nathaniel Roberts wasn’t good enough!
Nathaniel’s face turned dark.
His good mood was wrecked.
Despite this, he maintained his composure and put on a fake smile.
“Come on, it’s just a dance.
Are you scared?”
Lucinda’s face turned even darker.
Was he really trying to coerce her into consenting?
How shameless could he be? Didn’t he understand what she had said earlier?
As their eyes met once again, the anger they both felt was palpable.
The tension in the air continued to grow so Cyrus stood up with a smile.
“Lucinda is my date, so why do you want to take her away from me?”

He was stuck.
Although Eleanor and Vivien couldn’t hear their conversation, they could see the way Nathaniel looked at Lucinda.
And it seemed he even wanted to dance with her!
Vivien gritted her teeth.
“That bitch! They’re divorced, yet she’s still clinging to my brother!”
Eleanor was so heartbroken that she began to cry.
“Lucinda… She probably loves Nate a lot.
If he has also fallen in love with her during the three years they were married, I… I’m willing to step aside so they can be together.
