All Chapters of Opening My Eyes to Reality: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Natalie turned to Susan, her eyes wide in shock and her expression frozen on her face. That was when Daphne started screaming. "Lies! Who do you think you are? Why would he need to force himself on you? You were the one who seduced him, and now you're trying to shift the blame!"Benjamin helped the frail Susan to her feet and led her toward Daphne. Her steadfast gaze concealed years of silent endurance as she defended, "Every word I've said is the truth. I've never seduced Hugh. He forced himself on me…"That hit a nerve for Daphne. She raised a hand, ready to strike Susan, but this time, she didn't succeed. Natalie had stepped in front of her, intercepting it. "Mrs. Spencer, that's enough," she warned coldly.Then, she went to help Susan. Her voice instinctively softened as she said, "I'll take you to the hospital."Tears welled up in Susan's eyes. She nodded, choking out a quiet grunt before the three of them walked right past Daphne and went out the door. Natalie drove Sus

The next day, Natalie returned to Grendale. She was worried that Daphne would come after Susan again, so she took Susan back with her. Now that there were two of them, Natalie couldn't continue staying in a hotel, so she rented an apartment and moved in that very day. It was a little awkward for Natalie to be living under the same roof with Susan, but thankfully, Susan wasn't the type to bother her. Besides, she had plenty of things to do during the day and usually just came home to sleep. Sometimes, they didn't even see each other for the entire day.In the blink of an eye, the day of the bidding for Dejah Port was upon them. Natalie gave everyone a half-day off so they could relax before the big battle the next day. She didn't leave, however. She stayed alone in the office until evening came, when she left and got into her car. Just as she was fastening her seatbelt, a call came in.Natalie stared at the name flashing on the screen for a while before she finally answered it

Natalie lifted her chin, her cheeks flushing from the sudden wave of intimacy between them. She quickly took a step back, trying to hide the fluster in her eyes. "No, I don't." Rowan's smile deepened, but he didn't tease her any further. "Ms. Sutton, send me home, please."Natalie didn't object. She got into the car first, then Rowan got into the passenger seat. After watching him buckle himself in, she started the engine. Maybe he had drunk quite a bit, because Rowan reclined his seat slightly, then quietly closed his eyes to rest.Neither of them spoke during the entire drive. It wasn't until they reached Rowan's apartment that he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the familiar surroundings, he turned to Natalie and said, "I'll be waiting for your good news, Ms. Sutton."With one hand on the steering wheel, Natalie's red lips curled into a slight smile. "Thank you, Rowan."Rowan didn't say anything more. He just opened the door and got out. By the time Natalie returned h

Jason dragged Natalie all the way into the emergency stairwell and locked the door behind them. Then, he turned around and pinned her against the wall.There was clear frustration and anger simmering in his eyes, but the woman in front of him was the one he loved the most. So, Jason forced himself to keep his anger in check."Dejah Port is very important to me. Stop messing around, Natalie."Dejah Port wasn't just important to Jason—it was critical to the entire logistics industry. Over the years, most of the public docks in Grendale had gradually been privatized, and Dejah Port was the last one that was still under the government's control—and by far the largest. Any company with the capabilities wanted a shot at it, and that was why the competition this time had been so fierce. However, Jason wasn't concerned with the average company. In fact, before he saw Natalie, he hadn't taken Wayfarer seriously at all, either. The only reason he had kept an eye on this small company was

Natalie didn't respond. Instead, her expression turned stony, and she slapped Jason hard across the face.The sharp crack of the slap made everyone around them freeze, and they all stood there stunned, eyes wide and jaws slack. Natalie's team was thinking, "Natalie actually slapped Mr. Pereira in public?"Jason's team, on the other hand, thought, "Isn't Mr. Pereira going to fight back after getting slapped in front of everyone?"Natalie's expression was frosty. Her brows furrowed slightly as she said, "Jason, I was trying to let you keep your pride earlier, but now, you've gone too far."Jason's gaze was razor-sharp as he stared straight at her. But even so, he still didn't have the heart to do anything to her.As Natalie brushed right past Jason, his people didn't even dare to breathe. After a few seconds, he furrowed his brows deeply before following after her. Outside the venue, a black Cullinan was parked across the street. Landon's eyes were on the building as he turned
