As soon as Julia finished her sentence, everyone in Goodwill Pharmacy stared at


    her weirdly.


    Momentster, someone let out a snicker. She then covered her mouth


    immediately.


    "I''m sorry, you guys can keep going."


    It was Helena who hadughed. She held back theughter and walked to the backyard.


    Witnessing the drama unfold before her eyes was interesting for sure. She just tended tough as it happened.


    Helena was itching to tell Sophia about everything.


    Not only had their bond grown during these past few days when Helena was taking care of Sophia''s health, but they had started to get along like good friends.


    After Helena left, Zane walked up to Ruby and snatched away her phone. His eyes widened after reading what was on her phone.


    "Oh my gosh, Ruby! Your mother really gets around, huh? Isn''t this man your biological father? You both look almost identical!"


    "Shut up, Zane!"


    Ruby came back to her senses. In a panic, she rushed over to grab her phone again, trembling uncontrobly.


    "What the hell are you talking about, Zane?"


    Julia started coughing again when she was just about to reprimand Zane. At that moment, she had never hated Goodwill Pharmacy more. Getting medicine was never a problem before, so why was it so hard today?


    "Mr. Zachman, go get thisdy two tablets." Natalie smirked. "Things are getting interesting. I''d love to see more."


    "Alright."


    Thomas went to get the medicine Julia needed and handed her two tablets of it. "That''ll be 10 thousand dors for a tablet. Are you paying by cash or card?" "By card."


    Julia took out her card and paid for the tablets. Then, she eagerly swallowed them.


    The tablets melted the moment they hit her tongue, spreading warmth through her throat and easing the irritation almost immediately.


    She was no longer coughing when she spoke again.


    "Why the long face, Ruby?"


    Julia nced at Ruby, still hooking her arm around Ivan''s. "You can go first, honey. I''ll stay to have a chat with Ms. Walker."


    "My daughter is not going to chat with you. You''d better leave her alone."


    Charlotte took a step forward. "I see that you''re okay being the only one left in the dark, Ivan. Can''t you understand what they were trying to tell you?


    "Just get out of here with your mistress and illegitimate daughter."


    Charlotte barked, "You''re such a shrew, Charlotte. You''re just jealous of me. Do you really think William doesn''t have a mistress out there, staying loyal to you alone? You just haven''t managed to catch him!"


    Ivan went mad as well. "How dare you call my daughter that! It seems to me that your children are the real illegitimate ones, including this ''biological daughter'' of yours. She might even be an illegitimate daughter of William and some random woman."


    Natalie darted forward andnded a p on Ivan''s face. She didn''t mind being insulted, but Charlotte and William were off-limits.


    Her biological parents had done nothing wrong, yet Ivan was trying to shift his own filth onto Charlotte.


    Natalie would never tolerate such behavior.


    "Since you and thedy''s devotion to each other is so resolute, we''ll see what happens next, Mr. Sinir," Natalie remarked coldly.


    Before Ivan could react, she pped Ivan again, harshly.


    "Zane."


    "Okay."


    Zane instantly pulled the drawer open and took out a pile of cash. "Here you go, Natalie."


    Natalie then tossed the stack of bills straight at Ivan''s face. With a sharp p, shemanded, "Someone, beat him up!"


    "I got this."


    Noah rolled up his sleeve and stepped forward. "Ms. Walker, Mr. Holden told me to handle all the dirty work for you from now on, so you don''t need to get your hands dirty."


    He turned to Ivan and added, "Mr. Sinir, I''m working under Marcus Holden the one who owns Holden Group. If you''ve got any issues, you can talk to him after I''m done with you."


    Noah sure was a polite person. He even introduced himself before he violently beat Ivan up.


    Then, he proceeded to drag Ivan over and began pounding him.


    It took a moment for Charlotte toe back to her senses. She ordered the


    bodyguards she had brought along with her, saying, "Get over here and teach him


    a lesson."


    "Yes, ma''am."


    The Walkers'' bodyguards started to thrash Ivan hard, alongside Noah.


    "Stop! Stop beating him!"


    Julia was yelling. Natalie shot her a re, and she went quiet immediately.


    "Don''t worry. You''re next in line!"


    Natalie said sweetly with a smile"By the way, the stack of cash I tossed him with could probably cover a decent meal. I can always give you more if it''s not enough."


    "No... Don''t beat me..." Julia''s voice trembled. "You guys can''ty hands on me once you''ve beaten him."


    Natalie tilted her head in confusion. "Aren''t you two supposed to be madly in love? Shouldn''t you be getting a taste of the same thing since you love him that much?" "I... My body''s not well."


    Julia stepped backward subconsciously after seeing Ivan cry out in pain with every blow. She even caught a glimpse of blood seeping through his shirt.


    Julia gasped. "Isn''t this going a little too far? You''re not going to kill him, are you?" "Nah, they''re professionals." Natalie took a step forward. "They won''t kill him."


    Julia let out a breath of relief upon hearing that. Thus, Natalie added right away, "Well, the worst that''ll happen is he''ll end up disabled."


    Julia''s face went pale again. But in the next instant, she realized something. "Stop beating him or I''ll call the enforcement office!"


    "Okay, stop," Natalie voiced in a sluggish tone.


    Noah then stopped beating Ivan right away, followed by the others.


    "I''m the one who beat you, Mr. Sinir. If you have any issues with this, you can


    go straight to Mr. Holden."


    Noah pulled out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and shook hands with the Walkers'' bodyguards. "Good job, buddy."


    "You too."


    Charlotte was at a loss for words.


    Sky, too, was speechless, but he could tell that Marcus treated Natalie in a way


    that was different from others.


    He thought Natalie and Marcus were just putting on a show at the wee party.


    In hindsight, Marcus truly showed a distinct attitude toward Natalie.


    "Send them off, Zane."


    "Alright, Natalie."


    Zane walked up to them. "Mr. Sinir, thisdy, that young woman, and the olderdy—all of you, please leave."


    "This... is too much!"


    Ivan cursed under his breath, covered in bruises. "I''ll make sure you guys pay for


    this.


    "Charlotte, Natalie, and Marcus. You guys are going to regret this."


    "Sure, we''ll be waiting for you,"


    Charlotte replied. "Oh, and, we hope that you and your mistress stay together for life! Heaven will revolt if you two aren''t bound forever."
