Chapter 527
Natalia suddenly blurted out, “If you’re not letting me hang out with Comelia, then you better help me
get Marc Or get me the hell away from Cameron, away from Riverton. I can’t stand another day with
that freak.”
Clair immediately pulled her into a hug, gently patting her back and saying, “Hang in there, Natalia Just
a little longer, everything will be alright”
Natalia pushed Clair away, rolled up her sleeve, and shoved her bruised arm in Clair’s face, “Look at
this, all done by Cameron. He gets pissed off outside and takes It out on me at home. If I stay in that
house any longer, he’ll beat me to death. Why do you keep telling me to hang in there? Arn I even your
child?”
Smack!
Clair slapped Natalia’s face hard, looking furious, “I raised you, gave you the best life possible. Now
you’re all grown up, yelling at me and questioning if I’m your real mother. You’ve really disappointed
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme, Natalia.”
The slap rang loud and clear. It should’ve hurt, but Natalia felt nothing. As if her body had already
numbed to this kind of pain.
She touched her slapped face and suddenly laughed, “So now even you’re hitting met You gave birth to
me and raised me. All so you could hit me whenever you
want?”
“You’re crazy!” Clair looked at Natalia coldly, gestured for a bodyguard, “Take her horne, don’t let her
embarrass us in public.”
Natalia gave a cold laugh, “So, speaking the truth is now embarrassing? But me throwing myself at
Marcus isn’t? He’s a married man, and he loves his wife. But you want me to be the mistress and that’s
not shameful? Because he’s Marcus, because he’s richer than us, the Reese family. I should throw
away my dignity to get close to him. This world really worships money!”
Clair slapped Natalia again out of anger, “Take her home. She’s not to leave the house without my
permission.”
Natalia shook off the bodyguard’s hand, “You better keep your word, don’t let me leave the house.”
Clair was fuming. “You!”
As the crowd grew, some even took out their phones to take pictures. Clair ordered the bodyguards to
disperse the crowd, then left the mall herself.
Once back in the car, Clair kept thinking about Comelia’s face. After some deep thought, she dialed a
number, “Do you have any recent pictures of that kid?”
Whatever the response was, Clair nodded, “Photos from her teens would do, send then over.”
Soon, she received a photo. Upon seeing the girl in the picture, she paled. Her hand was shaking so
much she could barely hold onto her phone.
After a while, she composed herself and deleted the photo. Then she redialed the number again,
“When did she come to Riverton?”
The person on the other end of the line said, “She came to Riverton for college and has settled there.
At the end of last year, she also brought her grandmother to Riverton.”
Hearing this, Clair looked slightly panicked, “An old woman her age also came to Riverton? Do they
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmknow something?”
The person on the other end said, “What could they possibly know? That car accident was a mere
accident, the police found nothing suspicious back then. What could an old woman and a child possibly
know? The girl was accepted into University of Riverton Due to some problems at home, she was
kicked out of Rosenberg and stayed in Riverton.”
Clair asked, “She’s so lucky, what problems could she have?”
The person responded, “A few years ago, when she was a freshman or sophomore in college. She got
bored during the holidays, seduced a neighbor’s husband and was caught by his wife. The incident
was huge and was on the local headlines. She became the most hated person in the city”
A light sparked in Clair’s eyes, “Tell me the details. If possible, get me those newspapers. The more
detailed the better.”
The person on the other end of the line chuckled, “When she was kicked out of Rosenberg and forced
to stay in Riverton, I knew you’d need this information someday I’ve saved the newspapers,
screenshots of online reports, and photos of the scene for you”
Clair said, “After all these years, you’re still the kindest to me.”
