Framed Mistress: The 199th Arrest After Marriage Chapter 17
Enduring the excruciating pain, Adrian threw himself in front of Natalie.At the same second, Carlton lunged forward, shielding her in his arms.Timothy's heavy hand landed squarely across Adrian's face.Blood spurted from his nose. Already battered by over 200 blows from the baton, his eyes turned bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and threatened, "Don't touch her!"The next moment, he collapsed onto the floor.The venue instantly descended into absolute chaos. Fortunately, someone had already called an ambulance, which arrived shortly after.As Timothy followed the paramedics, he shot Natalie a look dripping with pure venom.Shaken and pale, Natalie let Carlton guide her into his car.He tightened his grip on her cold fingers, offering her a gentle reassurance. "It's okay, Nat. None of this is your fault. Let's go home."Taking a deep breath, Natalie nodded, her heart still pounding.Not long after, Ezra called her phone. "Ms. Shaw, Mr. Carter wants to see you."Natalie fro

This time, Natalie could finally stand under the spotlight with her head held high. She no longer had to dodge the judgmental glares, stomach the cold scoffs of the Carters, or let Adrian keep her locked away.There was a time when she wasn't even permitted to set foot inside a Carter family banquet.On Adrian's birthdays, she could only watch from afar as he cut the cake, holding Olivia's hand.Even the few happy moments she had with Adrian were dictated by the Carter family's approval. She had to tread carefully, as if she were some pathetic thief who had stolen someone else's love.Now, she arrived on the red carpet. The train of her haute couture gown swept past the lights, and a pearl necklace cast a soft glow against her throat.She looked like a brand-new person—a true high-society lady.Facing the elite guests at the gala, she carried herself with effortless grace and confidence. She was no longer forced to hide in the shadows, peeking at the spotlight that should have be

Natalie stopped in her tracks and turned around to slap Adrian hard across the face in front of the crowd.She looked at him with quiet disgust. "You just couldn't bear to part with the wealth and status of the Carter family. Don't go blaming anyone else. It was your own choice. And don't forget, you signed that agreement with your own hands!"The whole venue went dead silent. Adrian stood frozen, as if struck by lightning.Natalie had laid bare his most despicable thoughts. He wanted both the power of the Carter family and Natalie's sincere love.In the end, he lost both. How pathetic.Suddenly, camera shutters shattered the silence, and the room instantly erupted. Reporters swarmed forward, shouting questions at Adrian."Mr. Carter, is what she said true?""What kind of despicable deal did you make with Carter Group?""Was this press conference just another staged performance to protect your image or manipulate the stock price?"Adrian was mobbed from all sides.Natalie nev

Adrian's expression darkened as he read the media's sensationalized reports.Then again, the bigger the spectacle, the better.The more eyes on this, the stronger his counterattack would be, leaving those old bastards with nowhere left to turn.He had had enough of being held hostage and threatened. It was time to strike back.Meanwhile, Natalie was looking at the exact same headlines.She silently organized her files, her fingertips lingering on the news reports for a brief second before dismissively swiping them away.Just then, a colleague called her over, saying she was needed in the CEO's office.She pushed the door open to find Carlton leaning back in his chair with an unlit cigarette resting between his fingers. His knuckles were sharply defined, while the metal watch on his wrist gleamed with a luxurious sheen.The breeze caught the window curtains, brushing past his suit. With his eyes closed, he looked like a meticulously sculpted piece of art.Back at the orphanage,

Carlton had deliberately kept it from Adrian, so the latter had no idea where Natalie lived. Left with no choice, he went straight to Ritz Group.Dressed in a sharp suit, he stood at the main entrance holding a massive bouquet of red roses. He remained frozen in place for over three hours under the scorching sun.His striking appearance naturally caught the attention of the employees. They peered down from the office windows, speculating about the Carter family heir's intentions."Isn't that Adrian Carter? What's he doing here? Is he trying to win a woman's heart?""Don't be ridiculous. He's engaged to the Hart family heiress. We don't stand a chance. He's probably here to negotiate a deal with Mr. Ritz.""Oh, please. Who negotiates a business deal holding a massive bouquet of flowers under the sun?"Upon hearing that, Natalie clutched a stack of files and silently watched Adrian standing tall under the sun.Not long ago, she had taken a job at Carlton's company to broaden her h

Adrian's eyes went wide. He almost couldn't believe his own eyes.He instinctively rubbed his eyes, only to realize that the person standing before him really was Natalie.This meant that she was the very woman Carlton had called "the woman he loved".Adrian asked, "Nat? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at home?"Natalie wasn't surprised to see him. She met his gaze coldly and replied, "Mr. Carter, thanks to you, I didn't end up dying at the Carter residence. Disappointed?"Adrian looked utterly confused, as though he couldn't understand a single word Natalie was saying.She was the person he cherished most in the world. How could she possibly have died at his house?"Nat, what are you saying? I don't get it. Come on. Come home with me."Instead of letting him pacify her like he used to whenever she was upset, Natalie stepped back.The deliberate distance cut Adrian like a knife. "Nat, what is this?"She looked down and let out a sneer. "What is this? Are yo
