Chapter 23 It's shameless
Elisa shook her head, pained.
"Natalia, when your mother handed you over to me and asked me to take good care of you, but since that incident, you left the country without a word. I could not find a way to contact you, it is my dereliction of duty, but I didn't expect that you would actually take such a crooked path!
It doesn't matter if you want to be with a man like Alfred. Be honest with me!
Even if I don't agree, if you must marry him, I'll accept it!
If this scam wants to bully you, with the power of the Wright family and the Kawn family, he won't dare to bully you!
But you hide it from me, and you refuse to admit it even after repeated questioning. What do you take me for?
Am I still your most respected and dearest elder?
I had not heard from you in the past five years, and I worried you every day, lest I fail your mother, but what about you?
Is this how you repay me?"
Natalia's face went pale.
She wanted to explain.
Clara, however, interrupted her and said with a compensating smile.
"Old lady, don't be angry. She is probably afraid of being scolded for telling the truth. Her nature is rather stubborn, I've gotten used to it over the years."
Elisa waved her hand, with her face full of fatigue.
"All right, things have come to this, I have nothing to say. I am sorry I messed up your birthday party. I will send someone to make amends some other day. As for the rest, I can't care and don't want to care. Declan, let's go!"
Declan Wright frowned, his gaze lingering on those picture on Alfred's phone screen for a moment before he finally helped Elisa leave.
Natalia clenched her fingers, with her nails nestling into her palm.
Her body was shaking slightly.
Shameless!
Shameless!
The thought that she was actually family with such a group of people with the same blood running through their veins was unbelievable! How can people be so shameless?
There were already people around who heard their conversation and saw the way Elisa left in a huff, so they couldn't help but whisper. "Eh, what's going on?
That person is Natalia, huh?
How did she get together with Alfred of Shuangta Group?"
"What kind of pot goes with what kind of lid!"
"One stole his sister's designs out of jealousy, the other beat up his wife, they're just right together."
"But it's so mismatched!
Natalia is so pretty, while Alfred is disgusting. How can she fall in love with such a person!"
"And you guys are complimenting her face!"
One of the girls who was standing with Jessica earlier walked over and sneered.
"A plastic surgery chick, so what if she's pretty?
In a few years when she gets older, she will be ugly!
By then, I'm only afraid she won't even be worthy of Alfred."
"What?
Are you saying Natalia's current face is plastic surgery?"
"Of course, that's what her sister said, it would never be false."
"Dear me!
That's too shameful."
The scene was somewhat chaotic, and Natalia looked at Clara with a cold, stern gaze, gritting her teeth.
"Clara, aren't you afraid of the wrath of God for doing this?"
Clara looked at her, not hiding the smug look in her eyes.
She sighed softly and shook her head.
"My good granddaughter, how do you think I would have gone out of my way if you had listened to me earlier?"
Natalia was so angry that her body trembled, and her anger seemed to burst out of her chest.
"Get someone to composite a few photos and get a hoodlum to come and testify, and you think you can make up the facts?
What's not done is not done!
You could have wronged me five years ago, and that was because I was too young to fight back, but not anymore! Clara, wait and see!
A fabricated lie will always be easily punctured!
I will make you pay for what you did today!"
She said, turning around and was to head out the door.
But just then, there was a sudden weakness in her feet.
Clara's cold voice came from behind.
"You're right, it's true that a fabricated lie can be easily punctured, but what if that lie were to become true tonight?"
Natalia looked back at her incredulously.
What was that supposed to mean?
Alfred smirked and said.
"Miss Jessica, was that glass of wine good?
I made it personally."
Natalia's face was pale.
A revolting feeling leapt up to her throat, and she was about to run, but Clara yanked her arm in a deadly grip.
"Mr. Chan, my granddaughter has had too much drink, could you please help her to rest in the guest room upstairs?"
Alfred rubbed his hands together excitedly, "Of course."
Natalia stared at him with a deadly stare, with anger overflowing into her eyes.
An unfamiliar warmth hit her body, and a tingling alienation wanted to hit her whole body.
With Alfred's hand on her shoulder, her eyes widened in fear and she tried to open her mouth to call for help, but not a single sound could come out of her throat.
Clara drugged her to lose her voice.
This poisonous woman!
Alfred held her into his arms and leaned in to whisper in her ear.
"Natalia, I advise you not to waste your energy. This medicine not only has the effect of making you lose your strength, it also makes you lose your voice temporarily. You can't do anything now, so why don't you be a good girl and come with me. I will love you well tonight."
At this time, although some of the people around had noticed the commotion over here, they only thought that Natalia and Alfred were really couple because of what they had just heard.
Wasn't it normal for a boyfriend to help his girlfriend who has had too much to drink to her room and rest?
So even though everyone saw it, not a single person came forward.
Natalia was so weak that she couldn't even try to push Alfred away.
In fact, if Alfred hadn't been holding her up, she would have fallen to the ground with weak feet.
A piercing cold shot up her spine, and she knew that if she really went with Alfred tonight, her life would really be ruined.
But she couldn't say anything, and none of the people around her knew the truth, much less that anyone would help her.
Helpless, she could only turn her pleading eyes to that man.
A few steps away, Shawn touched her gaze, struggled for a few moments, and suddenly stepped forward.
However, in the next second, he was pulled by Jessica.
She covered her stomach and said something to him. Shawn's face changed, and he hurriedly picked her up in a horizontal manner and hurriedly walked out.
Natalia's face changed.
She turned pale on face.
A sudden sad and ridiculous feeling rose up in the bottom of her heart!
She was so stupid!
How could she put your hope in him?
How could she be so naive as to think that even if he didn't love her anymore, even if the two of them had come to such a point as they were today, they had loved each other after all. After all, in their youth, both had genuinely loved each other.
Even for the sake of a man's selfish exclusivity, it shouldn't be possible to watch her being taken away by another man!
But reality slapped her hard again.
It made her know that some people didn't have hearts, and that some people were worse than the devil when they were indifferent!
She laughed silently and had teardrops rolling down her eyes.
Just as she was filled with despair, a voice suddenly came from outside.☐☐☐
