Natalie couldn't help but say, "Aunt, if you really think that you can't stay here anymore, I'll let the driver take you hnow." Francia was stunned by her statement.
Natalie was so annoyed that she just left.
Bowie hurriedly asked, "Mom, what are you talking about? Why are we leaving? Life is so comfortable here, I don't want to leave! Didn't you see all the expensive clothes sister Natalie bought fortoday? I can't even afford any of them by myself! if we leave today, I'll never have the chance to buy such clothing anymore!" Francia assured Bowie, "Of course we're not going anywhere, I just wanted to scare her." "What if she really wants us to leave?" Bowie asked worriedly.
Francia glared at her, "She won't dare to do so! I'm her aunt, of course she has to attend to me!" Bowie agreed with Francia, "You're right! Now that she's rich, she must make sure that we're living comfortably!" On the floor above, Matthew sat beside Selina.
He held Selina's hand to his cheek.
He didn't speak.
Neither did Selina.
She just stared blankly at the ceiling.
After stime, Selina felt something wet on the back of her hand.
She finally responded.
She turned her gaze to Matthew.
He was also looking at her.
He recalled the first the met her many years ago.
She was so confident and proud.
All eyes would be naturally drawn to her, and she was always treated with the utmost respect. However, because of him, she was now being criticized and insulted by so many people.
His heart squeezed at this thought.
Selina finally closed her eyes after a long time.
She might have been asleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven though he wasn't sure if she was really asleep, he was just relieved that she had closed her eyes.
Matthew stood up.
He went downstairs.
When Natalie saw him coming down, she hurriedly asked," Matthew, how was it? Did Selina say anything to you?" "No, she didn't say anything." Matthew's voice was extremely hoarse.
Natalie was stunned.
After spending so much twith Selina upstairs, they didn't even speak? "Natalie, can I ask for a favor?" Matthew pleaded.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Please helptake care of Selina, there are sthings I must attend to," he said.
"Matthew, staying beside Selina is the most important thing you should do now," Natalie retorted.
"After I handle those matters, I'll stay by her side," Matthew's voice was firm.
Natalie agreed.
"Which mall was it where the incident happened?" Matthew asked.
"Paradim Plaza," Natalie answered.
Matthew nodded and walked out.
Natalie didn't know if her eyes were fooling her but when she stared at Matthew's retreating figure she felt as if there was a shadow of loneliness surrounding Matthew. After leaving the Whitlock family's villa, Matthew called his assistant.
He gave two instructions.
The first was to obtain the surveillance footage in Paradim Plaza and identify all the onlookers of that incident. The second was that he would hold a press conference that night.
Natalie went up to take a look at Selina.
Selina had already fallen asleep.
Natalie sighed and went downstairs.
Cecilia and Tobias had yet to return, hence she went to find Francia.
She apologized to Francia for James's sake.
James had already passed leaving her with his only sister, hence Francia had a special place in her heart. She always felt that if she treated Francia well, she could make it up to her father. "Aunt, I apologize for my words earlier. I was just too frustrated," Natalie said.
Francia snorted, "Natalie, to tell you the truth, really wanted to leave after all, none of you are treatingwell. But since you are my brother's daughter, I will try to put up with this place," she said nonchalantly.
The corner of Natalie's mouth twitched, "I know." She knew that Francia was obviously lying.
However, in her opinion, everyone had their flaws, swere materialistic while swere power-hungry, but as long as it wasn't a matter of principles, all could be forgiven. "Natalie, what about introducing a man to your sister? How is that going?" Francia suddenly asked.
Natalie glanced at Bowie.
Bowie was looking at her with excitement.
There was an indescribable look in her eyes.
"I will do that as soon as possible," Natalie answered simply.
Later in the day, Cecilia called home, she informed them that she brought Norwell along to visit her friend in Lincon City, her friend was adamant that they stayed for a few days hence they would only be back two days later.
Natalie was relieved when she heard that.
She really didn't want Cecilia to see Selina in that state.
Tobias returned has usual.
Natalie hesitated but held back from telling him about Selina's situation.
"I'll only tell him if he feels that something is off with Selina," she thought.
After all, she had already told Matthew about this, he would handle this problem, she also didn't want Tobias to worry.
"Selina is back, but she's still sleeping upstairs," Natalie said to Tobias.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie had gone to check on Selina before dinner and found that she was still sleeping.
Tobias was surprised, "She's still sleeping at such a late hour?" Natalie nodded.
"Perhaps she's in a bad mood," Tobias lowered his voice.
Natalie forced a smile.
Bowie and Francia also joined them for dinner.
Francia introduced Bowie to Tobias, "Bowie, this is your sister Natalie's husband and your brother-in-law." This was the first tBowie had met Tobias.
She felt dizzy.
She had never seen such a handsman before.
Even the idols she had seen on television could not compare to him.
Bowie's face turned red, "Brother, brother-in-law," she stuttered.
Tobias nodded.
He didn't like having outsiders in his home, but he didn't complain about Bowie's arrival all because Francia was James's sister.
Around seven o'clock in the evening, Tobias received a call.
When he answered his phone, Natalie also received a phone call.
It was from Yvonne.
Natalie was delighted as Yvonne had not contacted her for a long time.
"Yvonne, you finally called me," Natalie said.
Yvonne didn't have tto chit-chat
with Natalie, she immediately asked, "Natalie, have you seen the press conference? Is your sister-in-law still with Matthew? Hurry up and ask them to break up. Oh my, I never knew that Matthew was such a person, it's true when they say you never know a person's heart until they are tested!"
She had thought that after spending such a long tin the entertainment industry, she was able to see through stry, she was other people's intentions, she did not expect to misjudge Matthew's character.
On the surface, Matthew definitely seemed like a good man. If it wasn't for that press conference; she would never have thought that he could be so despicable! "What press conference?" Natalie was stunned.
