NovelEnglishChapter 798: Natalie raised her hand, showing a number. "Rest assured, I'll make it worth your while once we've sorted things out here." Seeing the promised sum signaled by her fingers, the reporters quickly dispersed with gleaming eyes.
With the room now silent, Natalie's facade crumbled instantly. "Linden, what's the meaning of this charade?" Elyse stormed over and delivered the slap she had restrained earlier. Leaning nonchalantly against the couch, Linden offered only an indifferent grin in response.

Linden touched his lip, savoring the taste of blood, yet remained unperturbed. He locked eyes with Natalie. "Daniela's not here. I've stashed her elsewhere. Without me, you won't be able to find her." Natalie, feeling his intense gaze, simmered with rage but kept her fury in check. "What do you want?” With a cynical laugh, Linden replied, "What do I want? Surely, you've known all along." His grin grew more sardonic.
Natalie's demeanor hardened. "Keep dreaming!" Spreading his arms wide, Linden countered, "Then don't expect Daniela to waltz back in here. I might be daring, but I'm no fool. Natalie, from day one you knew my intentions. You've playedlike a fool. Now, the ball's in your court. Stay or go-it's your call." He gestured towards the door.
Natalie's expression darkened further.
Elyse attempted to mediate. "Once we're through with this, I'll honor our agreement. Didn't you just share a night with Daniela? Pace yourself, young man!"

Yet the thought of Natalie in Daniela's place soured her mood instantly. The contempt on Natalie's face was palpable.
"It's your choice. Either Natalie sleeps with me, or you go explain the mix-up to the reporters. Remember, you've promised them silence money. If Daniela survives, can you cover that bet?" Elyse's expression tightened. What Linden didn't know was that they had already spent millions downstairs the previous night. Elyse bit her lip, eyeing the sealed door, then made a desperate decision. "Natalie, perhaps you should..." Natalie's lips tightened into a thin line, recognizing her lack of options. She faced Linden with frosty disdain. "You have five minutes." Linden's laugh was mocking. "Five minutes won't cut it. It should last as long as you planned with Daniela- hours, not moments." Natalie's eyes widened in horror. Such a loathsprospect--for hours? She could well meet her end.

"Then decide. The choice is yours." Linden eyed the still-charming Elyse with a smirk. "Elyse, perhaps you'd like to join?" Elyse's rage nearly boiled over.
"Let's not dally," Linden said, sensing Natalie's facade. "Don't push n't pushto ask for ten days and nights. That might be more than you can withstand."
At his words, Natalie stormed off to the bathroom. Her fists clenched as she walked. She resolved that Linden would pay with his life once this ordeal was over.
