All Chapters of Opening My Eyes to Reality: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Natalie was stunned.The next instant, Rowan's low voice rang in her ears, "I don't need an ally who always gets herself hurt. That looks stupid."His gaze gradually fell upon her bandaged arm, and he felt his chest tightening. Frowning, he lowered his voice and said, "So… protect yourself."With that, Rowan let go of her. Bearing an indifferent and calm demeanor, he glanced at her casually before averting his eyes. At the same time, Natalie became aware of something. When he was hugging her just now, she could feel how anxious and worried he had been. But she thought she had to be imagining things. Why would a coldhearted man like him harbor such complicated feelings for her?There was a subtle change in Natalie's expression, and it was barely noticeable. "It was an accident. I'll be more careful next time."Natalie didn't look at him, but she could feel his gaze on her from the corner of her eye. That made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, so she made up an excuse to flee the

Natalie was more than willing to share the news with Rowan. She switched off her phone, her gaze tinged with joy. "Mr. Mattel, it's been proven that my effort hasn't gone down the drain."Kevin texted her to inform her that he agreed to be her witness. By then, she just had to notify him beforehand.It had been a while since she received such great news, so she was over the moon.However, Natalie didn't want to rush things.Kevin alone wasn't enough to make Jason falter. If Kevin were to file a report now, Jason could easily deny the allegation. It wouldn't help the matter and would even make Jason keep his guard up.Natalie needed more evidence. She only had one chance, so she had to make sure she hit the bullseye. Rowan grinned and was sincerely happy for her. He didn't expect a coward like Kevin to change his mind. He had thought of convincing Kevin through extreme means, but it was unnecessary now.He said, "Ms. Sutton, congratulations."Natalie grinned from ear to ear. "M

Jane froze, shock written all over her face. "No… No way. Is there something wrong with your device?"Smiling, Ashley explained, "I don't think so. I tried two devices, but your card still declined."Jane was in disbelief. "Impossible. I just paid for a bag with this card yesterday…"Bella became increasingly harsh with her words as she spat, "What's wrong? Your card has been declined? I thought you were acting all arrogant just now. Why are you wavering now? "I love it when the bitches try to show off but end up embarrassing themselves. This is better than watching a movie!"Jane gripped the black card so tightly that marks formed on her palm. Her face turned pale, then scarlet. She stared at Natalie and seemed to fathom something. "It's you. You must've pulled some tricks!"Upon hearing that, Natalie covered her mouth and chuckled. "Ms. Yeller, didn't Jason tell you that the daily spending limit of this supplementary card is two million dollars when he gave you the card?"Nat

To call it a feast for the eyes was an understatement. The men gathered were all attractive in their own right—there were business types, casual types, and even openly flirtatious types.Natalie's appearance at the banquet was akin to throwing bait into a wolf's den. Curious, appraising looks were thrown in her direction. The ups and downs in life should have steeled her nerves by now, yet she couldn't help the chill running up her spine.Bella was comparatively calmer. She even secretly praised Benjamin for making such spectacular arrangements, though she shouldn't be surprised. One could always count on his capability, after all.Natalie pointed out sardonically, "I was expecting food at your banquet. Are we having male models for dinner?"Worried Natalie might get skittish and flee, Bella quickly looped her arm through the former's and led her into the fray ahead. "They aren't male models! They're all Grendale's finest! If you see any gentleman you like, don't be shy to make you

Natalie stood in place and watched as Sienna charged toward her like a maniacal shrew, only for Xavier to slap the latter hard across the face with a deafening crack.Sienna broke down. She didn't want to throw a hysterical fit. She wanted to appear dignified. But the composure she'd worked so hard to keep finally slipped. She pointed at Natalie and cried, "How dare you hit me because of her, Xavier? I'm your wife!"Xavier's brows drew together as a grimace twisted his features. "I already filed for divorce. Get your facts straight, Sienna. You're no longer Mrs. Steiner."Sienna stared at Xavier intently, her eyes red with tears. "We haven't even gone to court yet, but even if the judge granted a divorce order, I'd appeal against it. If you think you can just dump me and run away with this whore, Xavier, you'll be in for a huge disappointment!"Natalie was like a nosy bystander, elegantly savoring the fruit she'd put on her white porcelain plate as she watched Sienna and Xavier's s
