Francia was frightened by Natalie's statement.
After Natalie left with Selina, Francia just curled her lips in distaste, "Ha, so what if she is the precious daughter of the Whitlock family, she is still a mistress." "Mom, what's going on?" Bowie asked.
Francia lowered her voice, "Did you see that woman your sister Natalie held just now? She is someone else's mistress." Bowie immediately looked disgusted, "I won't be like her. I'm going to be the wife of a rich man," she stated.
"That's right," Francia praised Bowie, "My daughter is so beautiful and blessed, she'll definitely marry a rich man, just like your sister Natalie!" Natalie brought Selina to the car.
Francia and Bowie hadn't followed them yet.
However, Natalie didn't bother herself with them.
After all, they had scash in hand and knew where the Whitlock family hwas, hence, they could just find their own way back.
After they got in the car, Natalie found that Selina's hands were freezing.
She becmore anxious.
"Selina, don't be afraid, we'll go hnow," Natalie tried to comfort her.
Selina remained silent.
Her eyes were unfocused and dull.
Natalie immediately called Matthew.
The phone was answered by Matthew's assistant.
His assistant said that Matthew was still in a meeting.
Natalie's voice was stern as she emphasized each word, "Tell Matthew that he will cto the Whitlock family villa now even if the sky is falling. Something happened to Selina." About five minutes later, Natalie's phone rang.
Matthew's voice was laced with worry, "Natalie, what happened to Selina?" Natalie looked back at Selina, "Matthew, cto the Whitlock family homd," she just said.
"Give the phone to Selina! I want to talk to her now!" Matthew almost shouted.
"Matthew, she can't talk to you right now," Natalie sighed.

"I'll be there," he finally choked out.
The driver drove to the Whitlock family's villa.
Natalie made a call hand asked about the situation, the servants informed her that Cecilia had already left with Norwell. Natalie breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Cecilia was not around. Otherwise, she would be heartbroken when she saw the state Selina was in.
She understood how Cecilia would feel since she was also a mother herself.
Natalie pulled Selina all the way to the living room. "Selina, let's take a shower first," Natalie prompted her gently. Selina was unresponsive.
Natalie stared at Selina for a while, "I'll help you to wash up," Natalie decided.
Natalie brought Selina to the bathroom and helped her strip out of her clothes.
Selina was still in a daze when she sprayed her with the shower hose.
About ten minutes later, Natalie closed the tap.
She took a bath towel and went to wipe Selina down.
Selina finally reacted.
"I'll do it myself," she said.
Natalie handed the bath towel to her, "I'll wait for you outside." After a while, Selina walked out.
She had put on a white nightgown.
The color of the nightgown and her pale face gave off an eerie feeling.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
Matthew was here.
Natalie saw that Matthew's hair was a little messy. She knew that he must have ran all the way here.
Matthew immediately gathered Selina into his arms.
Thank God, he thought something had happened to Selina.
Fortunately, she was still standing here, perfectly fine.
However, Matthew soon felt that something was off with Selina.
She was motionless in his arms.
Matthew released her.
He stared into her eyes, "Selina, what happened?" Selina just stared at Matthew blankly.
Matthew raised her chin, "Selina, look at me," he pleaded with her.
Even though her gaze was on Matthew, her eyes seemed dull and lifeless.
Matthew felt a sense of dread.
He immediately turned to Natalie and said, "Natalie, what happened?" he demanded.
Natalie lowered her voice, "Matthew, let Selina have srest first, she must be exhausted." Matthew immediately understood what she meant.
He looked at Selina again, "Selina, why don't we take a nap first?" he said gently.
Selina remained silent.
Matthew picked Selina up.
He carried her to the bedroom and placed her on the bed.
His voice was soft and gentle, "Selina, get srest, I'll join you in a while," Selina just continued to stare at Matthew.
Matthew felt his heart wrench.
He then went down the stairs in pain.
He immediately found Natalie," Natalie, what happened today?" he asked hurriedly.

By the tshe finished, Matthew's ears were ringing.
He felt indescribable pain as if his entire being was being wrenched and smashed into pieces.
He felt his world spin.
When Natalie saw the state Matthew was in, she was shocked.
Although he just sat there silently, she still felt that he was in pain.
Extrpain.
Natalie instantly regretted telling Matthew.
Matthew suddenly stood up.
"Matthew," Natalie started, "Are you all right?" Matthew just glanced at Natalie and went upstairs without saying anything.
Natalie knew that Matthew was probably going to console Selina.
She hesitated for a moment but remained there after sthought.
Bowie and Francia cback after stime.
They were panting heavily.
"Sister Natalie, how could you drive away like that? Our legs almost gave out running after you," Bowie complained.
Francia also glared at Natalie, "Natalie, what do you think you out doing? How could you leave waiting for us? I am your aunt!" Francia tried to pull her rank on Natalie.
Natalie was not in the mood to coax Francia like before.
"Aunt, everything's a mess now, don't create any more trouble for me," Natalie just brushed them off.
Her statement triggered both Francia and Bowie.
Francia's eyes widened, "What did
you say, Natalie? Are you saying that I created trouble for you? I c190 far from hjust to visit you and you're saying that I created trouble for you?" she ranted on.
Bowie also fumed with anger, "Sister Natalie, how can you speak to my mother like this? She didn't even create any trouble for you!" "If your father knew that you talked
tolike this, he would have slapped you!" Francia's voice was sharp. "Lehere just to see you yet you said that I created trouble for you give up! I can't stay here anymore!" Francia cried.
