Chapter 379

Lindsey’s actions were incredibly satisfying, thrilling Josie and the others to watch. When it came to handling people, they felt that Lindsey was the best. They felt that their own actions of revenge in the past could never really do anything to Natalie.

Lindsey’s move left Natalie no room to maneuver. It was likely that Natalie would no longer dare to target Patricia or provoke the Clem family. Let alone asking her mother to get revenge for her, she probably wouldn’t even dare to mention it. If Audrey found out, Natalie would only get a severe beating.

“Amazing, Lindsey!” Josie said, filled with admiration. “You gently and politely handled the situation. I’ve truly learned so much from you.”

Unfortunately, without Lindsey’s wealth and influence, it was probably impossible for Josie to replicate her methods.

Lindsey smiled gently and waved Patricia over. “Apologize to Zoey and Josie!”

“I…” Patricia didn’t feel she had done anything wrong. She was just tricked by Natalie. But facing her mother’s stern gaze, she still obediently apologized.

Josie was fine, but Zoey’s eyes were red. “Thank you, Lindsey. Thank you for believing me!”

“You are a good girl, and Colby has good taste!” Lindsey patted her head. She added, “That kid has high aspirations and high standards. Please be understanding in the future. If anything comes up at the company, you can come to me. I know he doesn’t want to bother me, but we are family, after all!”

Zoey nodded politely.

Lindsey held their hands, leaving no room for refusal. “Later, each of you can pick an outfit you like. Consider it my gift to you. Don’t be polite with me. Consider it my request for you to be Patricia’s friends. She’s a naive child and easily taken advantage of, and I worry about her constantly.”

Lindsey only had one daughter. She never intended for Patricia to inherit the company. All she wished was for her to grow up happy and healthy. However, she didn’t expect Patricia to turn out this way. It truly distressed her.

Josie’s group couldn’t refuse Lindsey, so they each picked an outfit. Adeline and Allison kept saying they got lucky, all thanks to Josie and Zoey.

The clothes here were quite expensive. Adeline was even hesitating whether to buy them just now. After leaving the Clem Mall, the group had already become familiar with Patricia and exchanged contact information. Patricia had no ill intentions. She was simply too naive and trusting.

“Today is quite a fruitful day,” Allison stretched, holding her bags. She added, “Even though we ran into that annoying Natalie, I actually saved a month’s worth of food money thanks to her!”

Allison was a straightforward person.

Josie smiled and looked at her. “The Clem and Reedshaw families have had many collaborations recently. You will have many opportunities to interact with Lindsey in the future, not to mention Zoey. When you accept favors, you become vulnerable. Be careful!”

“Josie, don’t scare me. Lindsey gave us things because she wants us to look after her daughter and play with her, right?” Allison was adorably naive.

Zoey held her close and said, "Don’t overthink it, Josie is just teasing you. I think Lindsey is using this opportunity today to give Josie a gift. She previously signed a big contract because Josie connected her, and she has always wanted to repay this favor!"

Regardless of the reason, they all returned to school happily, chatting and laughing.

Natalie was rather unfortunate compared to them. She was clearly at the height of her success, and everyone in her professional circle praised her as young and accomplished. She wondered why Lindsey treated her differently.

Natalie thought, ‘Lindsey even said she liked Zoey and Josie. What’s so great about them? One is just a pretty face, and the other got ahead by riding the coattails of the Reedshaw family. They have no talent or ability. How can they compare to me, who is a rising star in the medical field?‘
