The Master's Obsession

Chapter 5: The Master's Obsession

​Back at the Vance Manor, Sebastian was watching a live video feed on his computer screen. The video showed Natalie slapping Melanie and threatening the Lopez family with flawless confidence.

​His assistant, Ben, stood by the side, sweating profusely. "Master... the Young Mistress used your name quite effectively. Should we punish her for using the Vance family's influence?"

​A rare, faint smirk appeared on Sebastian’s lips. "Punish her? No. She did well."

​He closed the laptop, his mind flashing back to the way she had easily neutralized his grip the night before. This girl was full of secrets. She wasn't a fragile lamb; she was a white leopard pretending to be sweet.

​"Ben, look up everything about Natalie Lopez. Her medical background, her schools, everyone she has ever interacted with."

Melanie stomped her feet and ran upstairs, returning minutes later with a dusty wooden box. She shoved it toward Natalie. "Take it and leave! Don't think because Sebastian Vance gave you some guards you're a real queen. You're just a maid sleeping with a cripple!"

​Slap!

​The sound echoed sharply through the villa.

​Melanie stumbled back, holding her burning, reddened cheek in absolute shock. Natalie stood there, calmly wiping her hand with a wet tissue.
