His words made Natalie''s chest ache with a mixture of anger and disbelief. It was almostughable.


    "Heh..." She let out a bitterugh, her cold eyes fixed on the shameless man before her. She couldn''t stop herself from swearing. "Nathan, are you out of your mind? You want my brother to just hand over hispany to you? Take a good look at yourself. What have you ever been worth?"


    "I have nothing to do with you anymore, yet you have the audacity to show up here? Both of you, get out. I don''t waste my time on people I can''t stand, so don''t even think about trying your pathetic little tricks on me. They won''t work."


    Nathan hadn''t expected Natalie to be so resolute. His blood pressure spiked, and his lips trembled, struggling to form words. "You wretched girl! I''m your father! Do you think you can be this arrogant just because you have some support now?"


    He was shocked that the usually meek Natalie could speak with such force.


    "That''s right, I am this arrogant. So don''t provoke me, and don''te here with your scheme. You''ve been leeching off women for years, and now you want to reap


    where you haven''t sown? You''ve truly perfected the art of being shameless."


    Natalie was furious. This morning had been full of shameless people.


    Why was she even given a second chance at life?


    She had endured so much hardship, only to be reborn because she believed this world was worth living in.


    She was living for herself now. These parasites would not control her.


    Nathan''s face turned pale with rage. "Natalie, if it weren''t for me, you wouldn''t even exist. I''m your father-it''s only right that you show me respect."


    "That brother of yours who isn''t even rted by blood? Natalie, you better think carefully. We are your real, blood-rted family."


    "Pfft..."


    His words made herugh, but there was no joy in it, only a cold amusement where the pain used to be.


    Her eyes were cial, carrying a deadly chill, Mr. Scott, you were the first one who wanted to cut ties with me. Now that you''re bankrupt,


    you''ve decided to target the


    daughter you threw away. Your hide is thicker than a castle wall


    Colin thought, Damn, that''s a good one!


    If Nathan hadn''t dragged him here, he never would havee.


    It was utterly humiliating. His father had been a fraud from the very beginning.


    He was the one who abandoned his sister, and now that she had money, he was scheming to get his hands on it.


    "You... I don''t care! You''re my daughter, and now I have nothing..."


    "You have four sons, how could you have nothing? I hear you''re living with your mistress now. You cheated on your wife, didn''t you?! bet she doesn''t know If she did she''d probably make sure you left with nothing."


    "What? How do you know that?" Nathan asked, suddenly wary.


    Natalie rolled her eyes at him. "You are my father. After your family went bankrupt, naturally took a little interest in your affairs. So you''re now living with your mistress in a vi while your ex wife is stuck in a tiny, run down apartment on the outskirts of the city."


    "You don''t deserve to be a father, and you certainly don''t deserve to be a husband. How dare youe looking for me?"


    "I..."


    "Wait, I''m not finished," Natalie cut him off coldly.


    "At Mr. Wilson''s banquet, you were the one who cheated, but you tried to pin all the me on me, iming I set you up. Nathan, did I force you into her bed? Did I make you cheat?"


    "If it weren''t for the security footage that night, your lies would have destroyed mepletely."


    "Why do you keep bringing this up? I''m your father! It''s normal for a man to have some fun on the side..."
