Such a scene only further agitated Irwin, whose mind was already reeling...!"Does it hurt?" Austin asked.At this moment, there was endless tenderness in the man's tone. He spoke as if Natalie was a treasure he cherished deeply.Yet Natalie withdrew her hand from the man's palm indifferently. She said nothing, her aloof attitude speaking volumes.Irwin felt nothing, but his eyes reddened at the sight of Natalie and Austin's interaction."Natalie," Irwin practically hissed through gritted teeth. He didn't know what to say to Natalie at this moment, clearly not expecting this kind of scene.Natalie turned around and walked away.Just as Irwin was about to follow, Austin moved first, leaving Irwin standing there.At that moment, Irwin's legs felt as heavy as lead. He wanted to move forward yet was unable to summon any strength!When Dylan came over, he saw Irwin emitting an overwhelming aura as if he were in a tumultuous storm."Sir.""She has no heart!"Dylan had remained by
Natalie's face darkened, and her heart grew increasingly colder!The dangerous glint in Austin's eyes grew even more intense."Did you know that before she returned to the Jarvis family, she resorted to any means necessary to marry into a wealthy family?""...""You don't know, right? She even got pregnant with my son's child before marriage just so she could marry into my family!""That's enough!" Natalie finally couldn't bear it anymore. She swung her bag directly at Rebecca, and the scene erupted into chaos instantly.Rebecca roared, "What's this? Are you embarrassed and angry? Well, that's to be expected, right? That's all you're good at!""...""You're a shameless woman! I ruined your plans, so you didn't get any money from me. And now, you're trying to cozy up to royalty like the Entes family!""...""Come on, tell us, what's your next move? I remember you always had pretty good tricks up your sleeves! If not, how could you make my son and Irwin fall for you? They even
Rebecca was consumed by anguish. It was as if her whole body was on fire, and the pain she felt was entirely her own to bear!Eventually, Calvin forcefully brought Rebecca back. Inside the villa, Calvin was already arranging for things to be packed. Watching Calvin efficiently organize everything, Rebecca's eyes were filled with sorrow."Calvin, how could you...""Madam, you know what kind of influence the Entes family has. Even though their family is going through a critical period, it doesn't change how dangerous they are!""..." Rebecca was speechless."We absolutely can't stay here any longer, especially after Lord Austin made it clear that he doesn't want to see us again today.""Hah..." Just because the Entes family's third son didn't want to see them, they had to leave?The more she thought about it, the more Rebecca agonized. What right did Natalie have? Why did she deserve the protection of such a man? What right did she have?!"Let's leave Simeria for now," Calv
When Austin heard her words, his eyes dimmed. Then he said, "From now on, you won't have to see those people if you don't want to..."Natalie fell silent.It was only then that she remembered that when this man forcibly took her into the car, he ordered his people to drive Rebecca and her entourage out of Simeria.Drive them out, huh? Such a domineering and arbitrary method was probably only used by men from the Entes family!She had to admit that such methods were indeed effective. Natalie had thought about it, especially after what had just happened. She had been considering asking Clyde to throw Rebecca out of Simeria when she returned. She was tired of it all."Thank you!" Everything had its consequences. Even though she could handle such matters herself, this man acted first. So, a thank you was not excessive.Austin smiled. "It's rare for you to remember to be polite."Polite?Indeed! With Rebecca's appearance and Natalie's subsequent loss of control, where was th
Over the years, Rebecca and Cedric had both tried various methods to get Christina out, right?They hadn't been successful before this, so how was Christina suddenly released?Natalie wasn't aware that Cedric hadn't tried getting Christina out of prison. After knowing the truth, he hadn't bothered about Christina."It's Lord Icarus," Clyde said, looking at Natalie.Icarus?! Just what was going on?!"He probably did it to stop you and Lord Austin," Clyde added.This move by Icarus truly puzzled everyone. Natalie asked, "Is she in Simeria?"Austin had driven Rebecca out of Simeria, and now Christina was here right after that happened?!It's easy to deduce that if Christina was brought to Simeria by the Entes family, Rebecca didn't need to leave Simeria. What would happen next? The scene could be quite intense!"Yeah," Clyde responded.Christina was already in Simeria. But before this, they didn't know anything. Icarus had kept everything secret."Let's wait and see," Natal
As Natalie watched Irwin stiffen, she casually took a sip of her tea before turning back to him."Go ahead. For whose sake this time should I not touch her?""Nat...""Or do you think I should let her go because of my eyes now, even if she comes at me?"Irwin remained silent. There was a suffocating feeling in his chest!Christina had always been a reminder of what had happened to Cedric. So, even after Christina went to prison, regardless of whatever methods Rebecca used, Cedric never relented. As long as Cedric didn't relent, no one could get Christina out, right? So, how was she out now?"Why are you so quiet?" Natalie chuckled, her laughter dripping with irony, tightening the hearts of those who heard her.Irwin had never felt so uncomfortable before! But now...!"I'll figure it out," Irwin said. "And then?" Before Irwin could continue, Natalie swiftly interjected, "After figuring it out, what then?"Watching Natalie's confrontational expression, Irwin's already
The hatred within her heart was the kind that could lead to complete estrangement. In fact, it would be quite relaxing if such a thing actually happened.As long as there's no interaction, some things could be ignored. But what was the problem now? Rebecca kept appearing in front of her, and Christina... was also coming! In this case, how could Natalie let go of the past?"Nat!""We don't know why Christina is coming, but one thing is certain: things won't be that simple," Natalie said, trying hard to remain calm though her heart was in turmoil. Whenever a member of the Johnson family appeared before Natalie now, it would inevitably trigger her emotions.Clyde tightened his arms around Natalie. "Don't worry, I'm here.""I know." It was because she had a family by her side that she could still manage to control her emotions most of the time.In Clyde's arms, Natalie gradually calmed down.Finally, the two sat down. Clyde handed Natalie a glass of water. "Here. Drink slowl
How precious was hope to a person?Irwin stared blankly at Natalie. Once again, he was unable to react to her words.She really hated him!Irwin could feel the intensity of Natalie's hatred through her gaze."..." He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words."You want me to give him hope? Haha!"Had Cedric ever done that for her?Did he ever try to give her hope when she repeatedly fell into despair?So, he said he left her side because he couldn't see any hope between them?Yes, that was the right thing to do.Upon seeing Natalie's state, Irwin realized he had nothing left to say. Everything had been said already!Despite his efforts, Natalie's response remained unchanged.In that case, was there anything else to say?Naturally, there was nothing!-In the end, Irwin left without saying anything. His actions indicated that Natalie had completely broken him this time.She had defeated him thoroughly with her repeated indifference and coldness.But even t
