Chapter 264
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at him, struggling to speak. "Nathan, don't you ever find my deceitful
side a bit scary?" Nathan just chuckled and gave her a playful flick on the forehead. "I'll always remember how
wonderful you were when we first met." Nathalie felt a wave of emotion. "Nathan, no matter how wicked |
become, | promise to protect you forever. Do you trust me?"
Nathan smiled warmly. "Should you really believe you're wicked just because someone said you were? You silly
goose, why do you let these people get to you so easily? To me, you're just my sweet, innocent Nathalie."
Nathalie whispered, "But it's true... | did frCameron on purpose."
Nathan's eyes flashed with anger. "Well, he had it coming."
Nathalie fell silent.
Afraid she might act rashly, Nathan reassured her. "Nathalie, we've got all the tin the world. The best way to

nodded. "I get it now."
After Nathalie drifted off to sleep, Nathan quietly left the hospital. He didn't expect to see Greta waiting outside
for him.
As soon as she spotted him, she hurried over. "Mr. Nathan, can we have a word?"
Nathan frowned, his dislike for Greta apparent in every fiber of his being. "You're not worth my time," he said
dismissively.

should keep your distance from her."
Nathan shot her a cold glance. "Your life is a gift from Nathalie, and this is how you thank her?"
Greta's face flushed with embarrassment and anger. "She pushedtoo far... | had to push back."
Nathan retorted, "So it's okay for your whole family to gang up on her, but she can't defend herself? Greta, your
double standards might fool others, but not me. Stay away from me; you makesick."
Greta's face turned beet red with

a smart man. Haven't you er wondered why everyone in our family adoresbut despises her? It's because
they realized she was trouble from the start."

With a swift motion, Nathan slapped her across the face. Greta's cheek reddened instantly, and she glared at
Nathan with teary eyes. "Why would you hit me?" Nathan pulled out an alcohol wipe and cleaned his hand as if
he'd touched something dirty. "That's because I've always seen you for what you are a manipulator." Greta's face
was a mix of red and blue with anger. "You don't believe me?"
Nathan rolled his eyes. "Why would

As Greta walked away, Nathan called after her, "And if you dare badmouth Nathalie again, watch your tongue."
