?Chapter 755:


    Nina, still holding the active phone call, inquired calmly, “Did you hear everything?”


    Back at Dani’s residence, Nina gave Dani a resounding thumbs-up.


    “You’re absolutely brilliant, Dani! Now all we have to do is sit back and watch the fireworks. Linden is sure to take care of Natalie.”


    Nina had never felt so gleeful, so exhrated, in her entire life.


    The next day, Linden strode into Dani’s office and announced, “Ms. Harper, I’m dating Natalie now.”


    Dani, seated at her desk, offered aposed smile.


    “That’s wonderful news. Natalie is my cousin, and I truly hope this rtionship works out for her. Thepany isn’t too busy right now, so take advantage of the downtime—spend more time together. Linden, you have my permission to move your desk next to Natalie’s.”


    When Natalie heard about it, she went pale, her shock evident. She stormed over to Linden, her usual haughty demeanor intact.


    “Have youpletely lost your mind? What possessed you to tell Dani we’re dating?”


    Linden met her re with icy indifference.


    “You’ve already slept with me, yet you refuse to admit you’re my girlfriend. What, are you just going to let me use you and walk away?”


    As he spoke, he wrapped an arm around her waist.


    Natalie’s breath hitched, and she immediately tried to shove him off. But this time, Linden wasn’t letting go. He pinned her against the window, his grip firm, and kissed her.

    Natalie fought back, twisting in his hold, but Linden refused to stop. His lips moved from hers to her neck, his touch leaving her breathless. Panic set in—she was on the verge of losing it.


    She shoved at his chest with all her strength, butpared to Linden, her resistance was useless.


    Just then, Nina happened to walk by. Humiliated, Natalie’s eyes darted towards her, seeking help. But Nina only smirked, her expression dripping with mockery. She pulled out her phone, snapped a picture of the scene, and sent it straight into thepany’s group chat.


    Natalie’s heart plummeted. Tears welled in her eyes, spilling down her face as herposure shattered.


    Linden watched Natalie, his pulse quickening at the sight of her tearstreaked face. His hands roamed over her, pressing her against the ss. If they weren’t standing in thepany’s corridor, he might have gone even further.


    It took half an hour before he finally let her go. Natalie gasped for breath, her chest rising and falling erratically. Her entire body trembled. She couldn’tprehend why Linden had suddenly turned so aggressive—all she knew was that the way he had just treated her had left her shaken to the core. Fear, shame, and revulsion twisted inside her.


    Linden saw it all written on her face. His expression darkened.


    “What’s with that look? You didn’t want me to kiss you?”


    Natalie furiously wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.


    “You’re insane. Why the hell did you tell Dani we were dating? For the record, I never agreed to be with you.”


    A dangerous glint shed through Linden’s eyes. His low chuckle sent an eerie chill down Natalie’s spine. The way he smirked at her made her stomach turn.
