Natasha was listening attentively as Austin chattered in her ear. He never seemed to stop talking... Natasha smiled gently as she listened.She accidentally looked up and saw a thin figure outside the door.Natasha was puzzled. Could that figure be Carly?She couldn't help but squint slightly, carefully examining the newcomer.Carly, with her long black hair and wearing a khaki coat, cautiously stepped into the living room to make sure that she came to the right place.She even kept stepping backward, trying to get a clear view of the door plaque to confirm if she had come to the right place.Carly repeatedly confirmed in her mind, but something felt off. Natasha couldn't possibly be sitting in there. Wasn't she supposed to be in the hospital? She heard Natasha suddenly had a fever at the medical conference... She didn't know how serious it was. Regardless, she shouldn't be here. After all, this place was the Sullivan Villa.Natasha watched Carly's series of movements
Issac, who had been dealing with the major families in Topola for so many years was aware of people's character? Austin might be smiling brightly, but the more radiant the smile, the more malicious thoughts might be hidden behind it.Carly was still young and didn't understand these intricacies, but Issac was of a certain age and definitely knew it."No need, it's more sincere to apologize standing up. Come on, Carly, apologize to Ms. Sullivan." Issac patted Carly's shoulder, indicating for her to approach Natasha.Upon hearing this, Carly was a bit stunned.What?Apologize?She didn't understand Issac's words.Why did he mention Ms. Sullivan? Natasha was Ms. Sullivan? How come she never knew there was such a person in the Sullivan family?Someone with Natasha's character couldn't possibly be Ms. Sullivan."Grandpa, you must be mistaken. She's not Ms. Sullivan at all..." Carly said.Before she could finish her sentence, Issac stopped her."What are you saying? This is the
As Carly spoke, she moved forward, her outstretched fingers almost poking Natasha's face. Natasha, upon being scolded by Carly, retreated half a step, pursing her lips.Hearing Carly's words, Austin's brows furrowed, and he was ready to call the bodyguards if Carly took another step forward."Can't you use more sophisticated methods? This one is too lowly.""Who knows if you locked yourself in the changing room to frame others?" Carly felt that since Natasha could covet someone else's boyfriend, she must be capable of other dirty deeds as well."I'm telling you today. I can't apologize for baseless accusations." Carly became more and more excited as she spoke, and the distance between the two quickly narrowed down.Austin couldn't bear to watch any longer. He immediately waved his hand, and the bodyguards, getting the signal, acted immediately. One of them put his hand on Carly's shoulder and pulled her back."What are you doing?"Issac, who was also indulgent toward Carly, coul
She couldn’t explain. Because when she took Natasha to that changing room, she did have some evil thoughts in her mind. But she didn’t act on them at all and had never put her thoughts into practice…However, if she were to explain this, Natasha would definitely not believe it. Not only would Natasha not believe it, but Sulivans wouldn’t believe it either.Who would believe that she took Natasha to a secluded changing room with evil intentions, only to do nothing in the end?"You're not saying anything?" Natasha seemed to have lost her patience.She crossed her slender arms and coldly scrutinized Carly. Her gaze looked as if she was passing judgment. It seemed to contain a hidden coldness."Then I'll ask another question. Did you deliberately spill the wine on me?"Carly pursed her lips. The gazes of everyone around were all focused on her, waiting only for her answer."You're not going to answer this question either?"Natasha tapped the ground with her feet, one tap after ano
Carly was a straightforward person. She never beat around the bush when speaking, and she had a strong aversion to evil, so she hardly ever told lies.But when facing Natasha's questioning, she hesitated for the first time. Her words once again stuck in her throat.Natasha seemed somewhat helpless. She sighed heavily. "Ms. Turner, I've asked you so many questions, so you should answer at least one, right? You can't just let me talk to myself, can you? "You don't say a word, don't explain, and when asked, you only answer with 'it wasn't you.' Do you think that's convincing?"Even if I wanted to believe you, you haven't given me a reason to."This statement increased the pressure Carly felt.At that moment, Daniel and Austin beside her both cast sidelong glances, their eyes almost overflowing with murderous intent.Issac couldn't hold back anymore after he saw the three Sullivans gang up on Carly. "Carly, say something. If you have nothing to say, then apologize to the person.
Buying a villa for Natalie now would be equivalent to pushing her directly into Natasha's arms, making it easier for Natasha to retaliate. It was like pushing Natalie into the fire pit. Carly wasn't stupid. She definitely wouldn't willingly put someone as innocent as Natalie in danger.Carly stood there, torn between her caring grandfather and the watchful Sullivans. She seemed to suddenly make a decision."The incident in the changing room wasn't done by me, and Natalie has nothing to do with it. I've made myself clear. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing more I can do," she said with absolute conviction and no guilt. But in reality, only she knew that this was the first lie she had ever told in all these years, all for the sake of her friend."That's all I can say. You're on your own now."After saying this, Carly didn't hesitate at all. She turned around and walked straight toward the door.The bodyguards were about to stop her but were unexpectedly stopped by Natas
Natasha was initially smiling, but when she heard Austin's sad tone, her smile faded away."Grandpa, I've told you that you'll definitely live a long life."But Austin just smiled and shook his head.Natasha felt her heart sink. She blinked, looking somewhat pitiful. "Grandpa, I'm serious. Do you not believe me?"She held up three fingers and swore, "My words are powerful, Grandpa. You have to believe me."Austin still looked at her with a smile, as if he was watching a child perform. His face showed a kind look.He clearly just treated Natasha's words as a joke. He just found her serious swearing very cute.When she saw the kindly look in Austin's eyes, Natasha began to feel anxious. The way Austin shook his head seemed to indicate that he didn't care about life and death at all.For some reason, when she looked at the despondent Austin, she suddenly thought of Jacob.She used to have Jacob by her side. But Jacob abandoned her, leaving her alone in the world.Now she had Aus
There was no need to think about it. Natasha must have suddenly remembered being bullied and felt aggrieved, so she couldn't help but cry.As Daniel spoke, he rolled up his sleeves as if he was getting angry and was about to go beat someone up."No, no, absolutely not." Natasha wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and emphatically repeated the "no's" in a row."There's absolutely nothing. Uncle Daniel, you mustn't go to Topola to settle scores with anyone…"Natasha still remembered how, when she was young, she was bullied by the Wilson's young scion in Topola. She had cried all the way home with tears in her eyes.While crying, she ran into Daniel on the way home. He stopped her on the spot, grabbed her arm, and asked about the situation.She was young at the time and didn't understand much. Whatever Daniel asked, she just answered and told him everything that had happened.After listening, Daniel didn't have much of a reaction. He just smiled and conjured up a piec
