Chapter 387

Aвтор: Bodhi Blossom
Natalie sneered. "Is that so? How about I have one sent up to your room to keep you company through the long, boring night?"

Victor crossed his legs and held up his glass of red wine. "I'm not single like you are, Natalie. I have a wife."

Rough math suggested that Victor and Bethany had been married for four years. Although Victor had married her out of obligation at first, his attitude toward her had shifted after all this time.

He'd grown to love her, and they shared a daughter, whom he loved beyond words. The three of them made for a happy family.

When Natalie saw the smitten look on his face, she couldn't help but chuckle.

But Victor snapped out of it when he realized how he must have rubbed salt in her wound. He quickly explained, "I didn't mean anything by that, Natalie."

"I know," Natalie reassured him. "I didn't take it to heart. By the way, Alec has gotten in touch with Micah and given him a heads-up for us. All we have to do is drop by his place tomorrow."

Nodding, Vic

    Okay?Natalie froze. By the time she looked back up, Rowan had already disappeared from the balcony. Seconds later, there was a knock at the door.Her heart leaped to her throat. She hurried to open the door, and sure enough, Rowan was standing right there.He didn't hesitate either, striding inside with long steps. She closed the door behind him.The layout of the apartment was the same, but Natalie's place was considerably more minimalistic. After all, this was just her temporary residence.She followed after him but saw that he didn't sit down. Instead, he stood by the window before turning around to face her. His eyes stared straight at her, unblinkingly."Care to explain, Ms. Sutton?"They stood less than ten feet apart.Natalie didn't rush. She grabbed a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and poured two glasses—one for herself and the other she offered to Rowan."Have a drink?"Rowan glanced at it. "I'm worried it's tainted."Natalie chuckled. "I wouldn't stoop to su

    Seeing the mess, Aloysius immediately grabbed a tissue to help Natalie clean up.At the same time, new guests arrived at the restaurant.Rowan spotted Natalie right away, along with Aloysius, who was fawning over her attentively.Pamela felt smug. She had just been wondering how to badmouth Natalie, the bitch, and now the opportunity had just fallen into her lap. Feigning surprise, she exclaimed, "Isn't that Ms. Sutton?"He wasn't blind. He could see her. He clearly had no relationship with Natalie—they were barely even friends—yet the scene before him felt especially glaring.Rowan grunted in response without even bothering to avert his gaze.Pamela seized the chance to continue, "Stephen, I'm really not trying to speak ill of her, but she has a habit of seducing men to get them to do her bidding. She seduced you in Mirethia, and now that she's back in Grendale, she's started seducing other men. There's no way a woman like that is a good one."She clung to Rowan's arm and said

    In Grendale, news of Rowan's arrival reached Natalie as soon as the plane touched down. Landon delivered it, but he stammeringly added, "And… Pamela came with him."Natalie's gaze cooled, though her tone remained even. "I expected her to come with him."Landon let out a long sigh. Honestly, what was Rowan thinking to have gotten himself tangled with Pamela? Just that thought gave him a headache.As he was murmuring to himself, Natalie added, "Buy the apartment next door to his unit and the gym closest to it."Landon's eyes went wide in shock. It took him a long moment to recover before he finally said, "So, this is what it's like when a wealthy woman tries to win a man over. That's quite an eye-opener, Natalie."Money wasn't something Natalie cared about. Right now, she was focused on creating every possible opportunity for herself.She shot him a look. "Just go and get it done. Stop talking.""I'm on it," he replied, grinning from ear to ear.…After landing in Grendale, Rowa

    Natalie was unfazed. "Ruthless or not, the result is what matters. Just do as I said.""As you wish," Landon replied.…In Yeruvia, as the acting CEO of Freehill Finances, Rowan was informed by the board that 10% of the company's shares had been sold.He couldn't understand why they would sell shares out of the blue, but later, he learned that there was a simple reason—the buyer had offered 20 times the market price for the 10% shares, with one peculiar condition that they would only hold it for three years.It was practically free money, so the board had no reason to refuse.Still, there was another stipulation. Freehill Finances had to establish a branch in Grendale, and Rowan was explicitly chosen to lead the expansion.Of course, Rowan wasn't aware of these conditions. Orders came down, and his duty was to obey.After returning home that evening, he told Pamela the news, and the smile drained from her face at the mention of the word "Grendale".She dropped the clothes in h

    Jason didn't flinch when the slap landed. His only reaction was the cold, venomous stare he fixed on Natalie before she struck again. "This is for what you owe Rowan."She was ready to strike him a third time when Jane rushed in. Just as she lifted a hand to shove Natalie away, several men in black stepped forward and swiftly surrounded them.Intimidated by the act, she braced herself to snap, emboldened by Jason's power, "Who do you think you are, Natalie? How dare you slap and humiliate him!"Natalie's cold eyes turned to her as she folded her arms. "I might've forgotten you were even here if you hadn't opened your mouth."Her imposing air sent Jane stepping back in fear. "Don't do anything crazy."She simply smiled before that smile vanished in an instant. "Get out."Jane shut her mouth at once and retreated to Jason's side, subdued.Natalie's venomous gaze swept over Jason's swollen cheeks before she said, "We have plenty of time, Jason. I told you that you'll pay back in

    "Did you miss me, Natalie? I've missed you terribly."A bloodthirsty smile played on Jason's lips. He looked even more sinister than he had three years ago.Memories of the betrayal and lies at the Misty Woods flashed in his mind, and his grin grew colder. "It's been three years, and I haven't forgotten you for a single second."Bella and Benjamin hated him with a passion.Before anyone could stop Benjamin, he lunged forward. No words were said as he landed a clean, brutal punch straight on Jason's face and spat, "Scumbag!"Benjamin had serious training. The punch was solid and swift, but before he could throw a second blow, Jason retaliated and knocked him off balance.Natalie quickly stepped in to hold him back. "Calm down and don't be reckless, Ben."Benjamin fumed. "I've had enough of this asshole! Calling him a scumbag is an insult to an actual scumbag!"Jason pressed his tongue against his cheek, casually wiping the blood from his mouth with a mocking grin.Now, he had a
