Chapter 286 Honest Jade

The person who had come was precisely Natasha!

At long last, she had managed to get Shevchenko to agree to invest in constructing a factory in Neva Province.

However, he was unfortunately being assaulted by Nathan!

Natasha was followed by Gerard, the mayor of Mimar City. Upon seeing Nathan assaulting the foreign visitor,

Gerard’s mind was abuzz.

Nathan paid no heed whatsoever with a swift swing of his arm, and sent Shevchenko crashing to the ground.

Natasha stepped forward, her fury palpable, and demanded, “Nathan, what do you think you’re doing? Did you not

realize Shevchenko was my guest, and you just hit him?!”

Nathan shrugged nonchalantly and declared, “It doesn’t matter if you invited him. Even if the leader of the country

had done so, I’d still give him a good thrashing.”

Natasha’s fury was palpable, her vision blurred, and her body shook. Through gritted teeth, she spat, “Good. How

dare you! Let’s see how this plays out!”

Gerard’s expression darkened as he exclaimed, “Master Evans, you’ve gone too far! To beat him up like this!”

Nathan’s eyebrows rose in displeasure as he sneered.

“You witnessed me striking him, yet you never inquired as to why I did so?”

“As a reasonable individual, I wouldn’t have retaliated had he not done something wrong first.”

Nathan glanced at the pair of them, his expression emotionless.

Gerard spoke in a stern tone, warning, “If you beat Mr. Shevchenko, a distinguished foreign guest of our Neva

Province, and he makes a scene, our entire Province will lose all face!”

Despite the strong bond he shared with Nathan, he had to maintain his stance in light of this major event.

Natasha sneered, “Yes, you can’t stand to watch me locate a top–notch foreign investment firm and secure the

rights to construct the East Bay Deepwater Port. That’s why you resorted to such underhanded tactics to impede

me!”

Nathan jabbed his finger at Gussie and growled, “Just take a gander at my secretary’s face. It was this joker who did

the deed. Don’t you think I should give him a taste of his own medicine?”

Natasha fumed, “Just a secretary?!”

Natasha’s words starkly contrasted with Wendy’s earlier demeanor.

It was said that Wendy was a cold–blooded woman. Now, who was more cold–blooded?

Nathan’s face darkened as soon as he heard this. With a sarcastic chuckle, he sneered, “A ‘secretary“? Are

secretaries not human? Are only foreigners human in your eyes?”

Gerard declared, “Master Evans, let’s talk it out if something arises. It’s not worth it to take any other course of

action.”

Nathan’s temper flared, and he asked Gerard with a forced smile, “Shall I give your wife a pat on the backside,

followed by two slaps, and then we can talk? Is that alright with you?”

Gerard was dumbfounded, and his fury was so intense that it could have created two Buddhas and sent them to the

heavens. Despite being the head of the city, he had been addressed in such a manner.

“Had I known your posterior was so askew,” Nathan sneered, “I wouldn’t have bothered rescuing you!”

Gerard was incensed by Nathan’s words. He had only been trying to defuse the tension. Little did he know that

Nathan’s two words would be such a slap in the face.

“Natasha spoke with a ‘cool demeanor‘,” Mr. Hopp remarked, “so I’m going to try to calm Shevchenko down. What

he does afterwards is up to him.”

Nathan remarked, “Unless he apologizes, you won’t be able to leave here with him unscathed.”

Natasha fumed, “Oh, really? Let’s see what you’ve got!”

When Jade arrived, the two sides were in a deadlock.

No matter what she wore, her natural radiance was impossible to hide. Everywhere she went, she was the center of

attention.

“Jade, you’re here just in time,” Natasha fumed. “Nathan, this lunatic, beat Shevchenko to a pulp! And then he had

the audacity to demand an apology or else! Can you believe it?”

–

“I’m already aware of the situation,” Jade stated, her face devoid of emotion.

Nathan fixed Jade with a cold stare and asked, “What is it you want to say? Do you intend to follow Natasha’s

example and merely act as a secretary?”

Jade ignored Nathan’s sarcasm and said to Shevchenko, “Mr. Shevchenko, our Hechland is not your Nievic. You

have done something rude. You should apologize.”

Natasha was taken aback when she heard this. He hadn’t anticipated that Jade would take Nathan’s side.

Jade clenched her fists, yet felt powerless. She had always been a person of strong convictions.

Jade was adamant that this issue had crossed her threshold of tolerance. She could not side with Shevchenko.

Shevchenko had a clear understanding of who Jade was–the female war deity of Hechland’s armed forces!

“Fine,” Shevchenko growled through clenched teeth, “I’ll apologize, but I’m not giving up my right to look into this!”

He was aware of his own unreasonable behavior, having needlessly teased the female citizen of Hechland. To make

matters worse, he even made a move, but was so brutally beaten by them that he was unable to let it go.

Jade nodded calmly, assuring, “It is your right, and I won’t get in the way.”

Nathan couldn’t help but furrow his brow. He hadn’t anticipated that Jade was so principled.

This was, of course, the expected outcome. Soldiers were created to safeguard their homeland.

Shevchenko was to blame for this incident. How could a virtuous soldier such as Jade possibly put up with him?

Nathan was filled with admiration for Jade, who, despite the potential for great reward, had remained true to her

convictions.

“Gussie,” Shevchenko said, bowing his head in apology, “I’m deeply sorry for my rudeness. Our cultures in Nievic

and Hechland may be different, and that’s why I acted as I did.”

Gussie remained silent, her expression still pained. How could she forgive him so easily for his recklessness?

Natasha’s countenance was downcast, yet Jade had already made her stance clear. She was unable to utter a

word, let alone oppose Jade.

“Don’t forget,” Nathan sneered, “do not ‘run amok‘ in Hechland in the future. This is not your ‘Nievic‘!”

Wendy glanced at her watch, her expression still composed and unruffled. “Come, Mr. Evans,” she said. “The talent

showcase is about to start. We don’t want to be tardy.”

Nathan gave a nod of agreement and declared, “Alright, let’s go!”

He proactively extended a helping hand to Gussie, feeling a pang of sympathy for her. She had been subjected to

two days of mistreatment from those who clearly had no idea how to treat a lady.

Gussie felt wronged, her eyes welling up with tears and smudging her makeup. In a soft voice, she murmured,

“Thank you, Mr. Evans.”

“It’s my fault,” Nathan lamented, gently patting her back. “I shouldn’t have asked you to pay the bill.”

Gussie’s tears flowed more and more freely as she realized that her life was too harsh to blame anyone else but

herself. She had previously held Nathan responsible, but now she could only lament her own fate.
