Semua Bab Opening My Eyes to Reality: Bab 371 - Bab 380

Daphne quickly pieced together the situation. She scrambled to her feet and cautiously sat down next to Peter."What happened, Peter?""What happened? It's all because you pissed Natalie off. She knows Mr. Jelenski, and now he's refusing to work with me because of all this. Do you know how much that's going to cost me? All of this—because of you!" Peter snapped with a cold scoff.Daphne hadn't expected Natalie to have such extensive connections. How did she manage to know so many people? What a bitch, relying on her looks and wrapping all those men around her finger!Daphne gritted her teeth in fury, but right now, she couldn't afford to let Peter blame her for this. Life had finally gotten good for her, and she had no intention of going back to the days of struggling. She felt wronged, but her eyes were full of concern as she looked at Peter."I'm sorry, Peter. You only got on Natalie's bad side because you stood up for me. That woman is ruthless, and she's clearly retaliating ag

Even someone as proper as Magnus couldn't help but laugh. He added sarcastically, "Not only is the twin a piece of work, but he might just be an extra disgusting piece, too."Despite mentally preparing himself for this meeting, Peter's face still twisted darkly at the level of humiliation. "Ms. Sutton, are you really going to let your people insult me like this?"Natalie shrugged helplessly. "That's just how these two are, Mr. Churlish. I can't rein them in even if I tried. But they don't mean any harm, so please bear with them."That was blatant favoritism. Peter's eyes flared wide, but he forced himself to swallow his anger.After taking a moment to compose himself, Peter said, "Ms. Sutton, I can explain this whole thing. At the time, Daphne came back with her face all swollen, crying that you had bullied her. "I'm a hot-blooded man. When I heard that the woman I love had been mistreated for no reason, I naturally lost my temper. And that was why I made such an irreversible mis

Landon rested his hand on the armrest, lost in memory. "Actually, that had something to do with you, Natalie.""With me?"Landon explained, "Yeah. Do you remember that guy who got all his teeth knocked out? He was the one who was forging your artwork and selling it on the market. Mr. Rowan was being pretty lenient with how he handled it. "But who could've expected we'd run into you there? If we'd known, no way would we have done anything there."From what Landon said, Natalie realized that Rowan had already known her before their so-called first meeting. And it made sense. Rowan had mentioned certain timelines in his journal, many of which were from before what she thought was their first meeting. So the truth was, Rowan had already known her even before she lost her sight. And not only had he known her, but he had even been paying close attention to her all along.That journal, which she treasured so dearly, was filled with his overwhelming love for her.Landon and Magnus wer

Cedric only had one son—Aloysius, aged 35. Aloysius' wife had passed away five years ago due to illness, leaving behind a daughter who was basically the princess of the Hoffman family.However, as the Hoffman family had a vast empire, and Aloysius was still in his prime, he was naturally expected to remarry. The problem was, he was incredibly picky, and most women didn't meet his standards.That was until two years ago, when he met Natalie at a gala. It was love at first sight, and he began his relentless pursuit of her.Everyone in Grendale's elite circles knew that about this. At the same time, they also knew that Natalie had no interest in Aloysius.As Bella put it, "Once you've had caviar, who'd go back to fish sticks?"Benjamin had sighed then, saying that Natalie was the classic case of being ruined for life after meeting someone amazing. After Rowan, the chances of her falling for another man were basically zero.Natalie gave a gentle yet resolute smile. "You sure know how

Natalie never deliberately avoided the topic. Whenever Rowley and Wanda asked about Rowan, she would always answer their questions.Wanda was bouncing around happily when Rowley grabbed her. "Wanda, you're not in the best health. You shouldn't be jumping around like that."Wanda pouted, looking sad. "Alright. I guess I got too excited and forgot."The mention of this made the previously light atmosphere feel a bit heavier.Susan and Natalie exchanged glances before the former let out a quiet sigh.Rowley and Wanda were twins, but the moment Wanda was born, she was placed straight into an incubator because of her congenital heart condition. The doctors had all advised Natalie to let her go, saying it would be difficult to keep such a child alive.But Natalie, with sheer determination, had managed to pull Wanda from the brink of death time and time again. Because of this, Wanda was much smaller than most kids her age, and the whole family's attention was always on her. Even Rowley,
