Marshall yed along. "Why?"


    Natalie smiled. “Because I know he''ll be a good man-gentle, kind, and


    considerate. And he''s going to be very wealthy in the future. So you should work hard too. We can bothtch on to him and make a lot of money."


    Marshall was speechless.


    Latch on to him?


    We? Did the young master of the Spencer family need totch on to anyone?


    But Natalie was right. Matthew was young and brilliant. Latching on to him wasn''t a bad idea.


    A curious smile yed on his handsome face as he looked at her. He finally understood. Sebastian was blind. He couldn''t see how exceptional Natalie was and instead wanted to marry that vicious woman, Joanna.


    "Natalie, then promise you''ll have dinner with me tomorrow night. My grandmother wants to meet you too. Even though you pped me ten times and broke both my arms, my grandmother said I grew up overnight because of it."


    "She said she wants to thank you and invite you over."


    Natalie was dumbfounded. Who gets beaten up and then feels grateful to their attacker? Marshall''s words were unexpected. In her previous life, instigated by Joanna, that boy had never shown her any mercy.


    "Alright. The day after tomorrow. I''ll visit your grandmother then and check if there''s any residual poison in her system."


    "Her bodyguard is awake and in my car. You can take him with you. His injuries aren''t severe, but he did suffer a fractured leg bone. He''ll need to rest for three months before he can work again. He was the one who carried me to the hospital that day. I was grateful, so I treated him."


    Marshall now understood the full story of that day. He smiled, his deep eyes fixed on her. "Alright. Natalie, thank you." With that, he took the bodyguard and left.


    Queena came over. "Natalie, are you just going to let Sebastian and Joanna go? They''re in this together."


    Sebastian, still standing by the gate, overheard. What did Queena mean? How were he and Joanna "in this together"?


    "Yes, I know they''re a team, using me for their own sick amusement. But you also know that even if sent Joanna to prison, Sebastian would find a way to get her out


    "Sebastian is madly in love. Honestly, I just want them to get together sooner so I can get my divorce certificate." That was Natalie''s true thinking.


    Of course, she couldn''t let Joanna go to jail just yet. She needed to use her to draw out the person pulling the strings from behind. That person was the real threat.


    Sebastian''s eyes filled with rage. So Natalie believed that too?


    Queena warned her, "Natalie, because of a woman like Joanna even the people close to you will be hurt you have to stay far away from her, and that includes Sebastian


    "If you want, I can help you sever the marital ties between you two."


    "No, Queena. That would cause a bacsh for you. What Sebastian did to me was enough to make my heart die Whether that are exists or not doesn''t matter anymore. What matters is that I''m going to run far, far away from him."


    "Come on, Wayne is buying us dinner tonight. If we head back now, we''ll catch him. I even asked him to bring your favorite crispy shrimp."


    Queena looked at her with deep affection. "You silly girl. What am I going to do with you?"


    Natalieughed. "What else? Come with me!"


    Their footsteps faded into the distance.


    Sebastian''s world felt deste. He remembered the first time he had met Natalie. She was so vibrant and full of hope, a light shining in her eyes.


    “Hello, Sebastian. My name is Natalie," she''d said, her face blushing before she even finished the sentence.
