Natalie had expected him to show up today, but she was surprised he''d arrived even earlier than she had.


    "Is there something you need?" she asked coolly.


    Colin red at her. She was so calm, not at all like before when she would immediately call him brother the moment she saw him.


    This cold, detached Natalie was hard for him to ept. He preferred the feeling of grinding her into the dust.


    But then he remembered her driving skills, and he felt that she really had changed. Even Mr. Woodard had been impressed by her.


    He had been trying to join Mr. Woodard''s racing team for ages, but Woodard had never given him the time of day.


    Now, he was intensely jealous of Natalie. He had been kicked out of that circle.


    "Mom''spany needs money right now, yet you have the funds to be here buyingnd. Did you embezzle money from thepany?"


    Natalie looked at him as if he were an idiot.


    "Colin, I haven''t even set foot in the Scott familypany since I left. How could I have possibly embezzled money from you?"


    “Someone as shameless as you, with such a filthy mind, would naturally assume everyone else is as dirty as you are.”


    "If


    f you really think I took your money, you can report me to the police. Let them investigate. Or do you think you can just make wild usations with nothing but your own words?"


    "You... I... You can''t buy thisnd. Give that fifty million to Mom to cover thepany''s losses. I''ll let youe back to the Scott family. But you should remember, this is a gift from me."


    Colin looked down at Natalie with a smug, condescending air, his eyes full of charity. Natalie took a deep breath, trying to suppress the sharp, stinging pain in her heart.


    No matter what, her longing for a family always left her vulnerable to words like these.


    Herugh was full of scorn. "Colin, is there something wrong with your head? Or are you deaf? I cut ties with your family a long time ago.”


    "When your family was on top of the world, you looked down on me for being from the countryside. Now that yourpany is in trouble, you want me to bring my money back to pay off your debts. Where do you get the nerve to say something like that?"


    "But we''re family. You''re still my sister. The family is in trouble, shouldn''t you do something to help?"


    Colin knew he was in the wrong, and his voice lost some of its earlier arrogance. "A family like yours is disgusting. I am not your sister. Your sister is Joanna. She''s a big star now, she has plenty of money. You can ask her to pay off the debt.”


    "How could we do that? Joanna needs her money to advance her career. You don''t do anything and have no future. What do you need all that money for?" Colin''s face darkened as he saw Natalie wasn''t giving in.


    Natalie was so furious she could barely speak "Wow! Colin, you are the epitome of selfishness. Just wait your beloved sister is going t?


    give you the best gift of all. I hope you can still say the same things then."


    Natalie gave a mysterious smile and walked inside.


    Colin was stunned. The old Natalie had been their littlepdog.


    She woulde running whenever any of them called. Even when they insulted her, pouring leftover food on her head, she wouldn''t dare say a word.


    Why was she so tough now?


    "Natalie, if you dare buy thisnd, I''ll tell the whole world how vicious you are, that you won''t even help your own mother!"


    Natalie turned, a calm smile on her face. "Then go ahead, tell the whole world. While you''re at it, tell them. Wendy raised four useless sons whe were no help at all in a crisis, and that her husband cheated on her.”


    "Then you can tell them how I, the sister who was kicked out and disowned, was pressured toe back and pay off their debts. Let''s see what the world will have to say about that."
