Natalie knew if it was a woman, it had to be Joanna.


    She quickly took out her phone and called her.


    She warned the others, "Not a sound."


    "Well, hello, Natalie. You''re not dead yet?" Joanna''s arrogant voice came through the line.


    Natalie''s heart sank. Hearing that, she knew it was her. “Joanna, I helped clear your name, and this is how you repay me?"


    "Oh? What''s wrong? Did you get humiliated? Natalie, you should just die. You''re nothing but my stepping stone. Sebastian was the one who hired those two men. He''s so disgusted with you, he just wanted to mess with you. Haha.....”


    Joanna burst into a fit of wildughter.


    Natalie quickly hung up. She looked at Sebastian with fury, but his grim expression was so frightening that even she felt a chill. Still, she said, "Sebastian, and you still say it wasn''t you?"


    Her eyes filled with tears. If he despised her so much, then he should just divorce her. She wasn''t the one clinging to him.


    Sebastian hadn''t expected Joanna to nder him like this.


    The ferocity on his handsome face was like that of a savage, bloodthirsty beast.


    Standing next to him, Natalie felt a shiver run down her spine.


    He quickly dialed Joanna''s number.


    Joanna answered almost instantly. "Sebastian, are youing to see me?"


    Her voice was gentle.


    Sebastian''s lips curved into a cold smile. "Joanna, you just said that I hired people to assault Natalie?"


    Joanna was stunned. “Sebastian, what are you talking about?"


    Her voice trembled uncontrobly.


    "You know exactly what I''m talking about. All this time, I believed your lies, but I never knew you were constantly ndering me to Natalie."


    "I... I didn''t. Sebastian, I know you don''t like her. She''s the one shamelessly clinging to you, that''s why I said it just wanted her to leave you on her own Sebastian, didn''t you say you were going to marry me? Sebastian, you can''t do this to me."


    Sebastian ruthlessly hung up the phone.


    He waved his hand, and the bodyguards dragged the two men away.


    Only Natalie and Sebastian were left in the lounge.


    Sebastiandooked at Natalie, whose


    expression had softened whose


    "Did you hear that? Natalie


    how she''s been ndering me


    Natalie''s face was pale. “But the things you and she did to me together... I experienced all of that for real."


    Natalie lowered her head and started to leave.


    Even if Sebastian hadn''t been behind tonight''s events, he was still inseparable from everything that had happened before.


    Sebastian watched her lonely figure walk away, knowing it would take time for her to trust him again.


    He wasn''t in a rush. He, Sebastian Griffith, had never been a kind man.


    If Joanna liked to y games, then they would y.


    He followed Natalie, and as she pushed her door open, he quickly slipped in behind her and locked it.


    Natalie frowned at him. Her face clearly screamed that she hated him. Couldn''t he see that?


    She didn''t want to see him right now, but she was too exhausted from the day to bother leaving again.


    Sebastian''s smile was deep and knowing. "Natalie, we''re married. What do you think I want to do?"


    He was no longer satisfied with secretly holding her while she slept at night. He felt


    a desire to make them a real married couple.


    Sebastian suddenly grabbed her

    hand, ced his other hand on the back of her head, and pressed his This lips to hers in a domineering kiss.


    Natalie was shocked, her eyes widening at Sebastian''s shameless audacity.


    After what had just happened, how could he have the nerve to kiss her?
