Addiction to Temptation: His Mischievous Sweetheart Captivates Him-Chapter 133: Natalie Vaughn’s Ruthless Wealth

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Natalie Vaughn’s Ruthless Wealth

After listening to Zoe Chandler, Natalie Vaughn suddenly felt enlightened, completely unburdened by her own pretentiousness. That’s just her nature, didn’t Zane Thorne know about it long ago?

"By the way, Wednesday is your birthday. Do you have any plans?"

Zoe Chandler only found out about this a couple of days ago. She had assumed that, given Natalie Vaughn’s status, she would take a few days off to return to Astra City. After all, big families always place great importance on their children’s birthdays.

Natalie Vaughn’s expression shifted slightly, her lips pressing into a straight line.

"I don’t have any plans for now, but I will need a day off that day."

She wasn’t sure if Zane Thorne knew about her birthday, and she didn’t plan on telling him, but she still held onto a sliver of hope in her heart.

What if Zane Thorne knew? It wouldn’t be hard for him to find out her birthday. At this thought, Natalie Vaughn furrowed her brow again; she had blocked Zane Thorne, so if he called on her birthday, she wouldn’t even know it.

But then she thought that Genevieve Joyce was always in Veridia, and if Zane Thorne was so inclined, he could always reach out to her.

Zoe Chandler saw Natalie Vaughn looking completely like a young girl caught up in love. No matter how smart and insightful someone was, when it came to emotions, there was always a bit of bewilderment.

It’s very normal because it’s the truest exchange between two hearts.

"Alright, I’ll help you take the day off. Is there something special you want?"

Natalie Vaughn’s eyebrows moved slightly.

"Ms. Chandler wants to give me a gift."

"Of course."

"Well, maybe you can’t afford what I want."

Zoe Chandler: .....

Her words were blunt but made sense. After all, she’s just an ordinary worker; how could she afford what a rich family’s daughter might want?

"Then... something you want a little less?"

Natalie Vaughn couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Ms. Chandler, you’re so easy to tease."

"Quit joking around and tell me, I’ll do my best to get you a gift that you’ll be satisfied with."

"A satisfying gift, huh?"

Natalie Vaughn pinched her chin with her fingers, thinking and then suddenly beckoned Zoe Chandler closer. The latter leaned in, and upon hearing what Natalie wanted, her face first showed surprise, then confusion, then shock, and finally, mischief.

"Are you seriously asking me to get that for you?"

Natalie Vaughn blushed.

"Don’t you understand either?"

If even Zoe Chandler didn’t understand, then she really didn’t know whom to ask. Yana’s relationships never lasted more than a month, and as for her sister-in-law, she was too shy, and she was afraid of scaring her brother’s timid little bunny.

Zoe Chandler coughed lightly for a while.

"Even though I don’t know much, it’s enough for you. But do you really need that thing?"

In her observation, Natalie Vaughn’s husband’s glances were filled with an overwhelming possessiveness. She was sure that Natalie only needed to express her intentions, and she wouldn’t need to do anything; her husband wouldn’t be able to resist.

Who could resist Natalie Vaughn’s beauty? As a woman, Zoe herself couldn’t resist; if she looked at Natalie for more than three seconds, she’d want to reach out and touch her face.

How can someone have eyes sometimes as clear and innocent as a doe, yet at other times as cunning as a fox, tempting the heart?

Especially when she smiles, her eyes curve up, her peach blossom eyes filled with passion, yet the chill on her nose and softness of her cheeks create a contrasting allure that’s impossible to ignore.

With just a glance, one would be entranced.

Natalie Vaughn, for men, is practically a little sprite. She wouldn’t need the thing she wanted, unless it was just for spicing up marital... fun, then that would be another matter.

Natalie Vaughn also wasn’t sure. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Just prepare it for now; there’ll be a day when I’ll use it."

Zoe Chandler made a gesture to show she understood.

Because Natalie Vaughn was distracted in the morning, to avoid delaying progress, the crew didn’t take a lunch break. Natalie Vaughn asked Zoe Chandler to prepare hot drinks for everyone, with options of coffee, milk tea, and even ginger water, allowing the people to choose as they wish.

She even went as far to arrange for Jim Archer to bring a hotel kitchen team to the set to cook a hotpot feast for all the staff on site.

This grand gesture quickly won over many hearts. And furthermore, Natalie Vaughn’s attitude toward people entirely depended on how others treated her.

She didn’t carry an aura of being unapproachable, instead maintaining a comfortable distance. Now everyone roughly knew Natalie Vaughn had Felix Langdon’s respect and attention, and her husband’s aura wasn’t ordinary either; her family background must be remarkable. Occasionally being able to chat with such a beautiful high-born lady was already pleasing enough.

Moreover, everyone witnessed Natalie Vaughn’s acting skills. The hot drinks and hotpot feast managed to offset the dissatisfaction of not being able to take a nap.

Regarding dealing with people, Natalie Vaughn knew when she wanted to be sociable; it all depended on her mood.

However, there were still those who looked for trouble.

"Thinking a bit of food and drinks can make up for not having a nap, how can anyone have the energy to work in the afternoon?"

The person speaking didn’t even bother to lower their voice, and even deliberately raised it, so even with the noisy set, many people heard it.

She stood not far from Natalie Vaughn, clearly saying it on purpose for her to hear.

Natalie Vaughn had no intention of engaging with it, continuing to read her script. But the person seemed determined not to relent without a direct response.

"Spending a little money to win hearts, think having a bit of money is so great?"

Natalie Vaughn’s eyes moved slightly, Summer Churchill beside her was shaking with anger.

"Is this person insane? Even food couldn’t shut her mouth."

"Such people aren’t worth your anger."

"But..."

The person spoke even louder.

"No capability yet insisting on acting, dragging the whole crew to work overtime."

Summer Churchill couldn’t help it anymore.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"What, got angry because I hit the nail on the head?"

This commotion drew everyone’s attention, not out of a desire to watch drama, but merely out of not knowing how to handle such a situation.

Natalie Vaughn could tolerate a sentence or two but couldn’t let such unfounded accusations slide, especially when her people were being bullied.

"Summer."

She only called once, and Summer Churchill turned her head, her little face flushed, chest heaving with anger.

Natalie Vaughn handed the script to Summer Churchill and then slowly got up and walked over to the provocative person.

"What’s your name?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Oh, I was just asking offhand."

Natalie Vaughn’s lips curled, but there was no humor in her eyes; she stared at the person and spoke.

"Jim Archer, how much did the midday preparations cost, and what’s the average per person?"

Jim Archer pulled out a bill, adopting the same reporting attitude he used with James Vaughn.

"The drinks—milk tea, coffee, etc.—along with fruits and cakes totaled five hundred thousand; hiring The Veridian’s chef team cost three million; the hotpot ingredients are premium seafood, including wagyu and Angus beef, with the broth made from lobster. The ingredients cost six million eight hundred thousand in total, bringing the full expense to ten million three hundred thousand. The set comprises three hundred and eight crew members, averaging thirty-three thousand per person."

After Jim Archer finished his report, the set was filled with gasps.

Had they just eaten a thirty-three thousand per person lunch?

Even Director Gable was stunned, thinking Natalie Vaughn was beyond extravagant.
