Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 1104
Natalie bobbed her head. “I’m glad to know that. Has Lacey done this before?”
“No, that was her first time. She did it because she feared Mr. Shane. She thought you’d abuse his influence to win
the competition, so she wanted to get rid of you first.”
Lina let out a sardonic laugh. “Hmph! Yes, Shane is indeed influential, but it doesn’t mean that Nat would depend on
him to win the competition. She is where she is now solely because of her own capabilities. I don’t think she has no
idea how talented Nat is, but she turns a blind eye to it and adamantly believes that Nat is playing dirty. How
despicable! Has she been through any unfair treatment previously?”
Silas let out a dry cough. “You’re right. Lacey said that her country had organized a design competition the year
before. Initially, it was obvious that she would win the championship, but an average and incapable designer
snatched the title from her using his prominent background. Since then, she resents people with prominent

“In short, she detests the rich.” Sally pursed her lips in disdain.
Natalie sighed and shook her head. “There are thousands of reasons to hate someone. How about Annette? What
was her reason for doing so?”
“Madam, she is not against you, but…” He turned to gaze at Lina.
Stupefied, the latter pointed at herself. “Me?”
“Yes, she did it to go against you. She said the resources you received in the previous jewelry design competition
were supposed to be hers. The sponsor approached her first but collaborated with you after going through your
products. That was why she held grudges against you.”
Lina’s lips twitched. “I did not know the sponsor had looked for her before approaching me.”
No wonder Annette seems so sullen and resentful every time she sees me. I always thought that was just how her
personality was, that she looked down on foreign designers. After all, many people here are rather racist, so the
local and foreign designers do not see eye to eye, and there has always been bad blood between the two groups.
Never had I thought that the resources are the reason Annette hates me. Well, I can put myself in her shoes. If I
were her, and my resources and sponsor were snatched from me by another designer, I would be pissed too even
if the designer did not do it on purpose.
“Nat, tell me. Have I done wrong?” Lina asked tentatively.
Natalie shook her head. “Of course not. That’s just how things work. You did not steal the resources from her. The
sponsor was no fool and would definitely choose to collaborate with a more outstanding designer instead. You don’t
have to feel guilty about it.”
Sally agreed at once, “Yes, Nat is right. The sponsor did not sign any agreement with Annette before looking for
you, so it was not against the rule. She should blame herself for not being able to outshine you. Besides, even if you
did not receive those resources, she would still have gone against other designers. Otherwise, she would not have
harmed so many of them.”

I did not snatch those from her intentionally. Why should I blame myself then?
“All right, Mr. Campbell. Thank you for informing me. You may leave now,” Natalie said while looking at Silas.
Sally stood up right away. “I’ll go with him.”
Natalie giggled. “Sure.”
The two left the villa arm in arm.
Lina stood up too. “Nat, I’m going to the police station.”
“Are you going to visit Annette?” Natalie could guess her intention in an instant.
Lina hummed in agreement. “I have something to talk to her.”
“Go head.” The other woman bobbed her head.
After Lina went out, the palatial living room in the villa was left with Natalie alone.
Glancing at the clock, she assumed that Shane’s plane had already touched down, so she picked up her phone to
call him.
