Chapter 764 "Nathalie, I'm calling the cops on you," he snapped, clearly frustrated.
Nathalie, unfazed, turned to the others. "Alright, everyone inside. Don't cout unless I say so. I'm sticking around right here to wait for the police." She even dragged out a chair and plopped down at the scene, making herself comfortable.
"Cameron, go ahead and call the cops. If you don't, you're just a coward," she taunted, seemingly eager to get herself arrested, leaving everyone around her in shock.
"What's going on here?" someone muttered, bewildered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Isn't she just asking for trouble?" another whispered.
Lizzy, however, just smirked knowingly. "She's just looking to pay an old friend a visit in jail." Cameron glared at Nathalie, seething. She wanted to go to jail, using this as an excuse to give him a good thrashing. It was her way of blowing off steam and ticking something off her to-do list. A real two birds with one stone deal.
This woman was something else.
Cameron held his phone, torn between making the call and playing into her hands.
He knew Nathalie had ordered her bodyguards to rough him up, but he also knew the punishment for such a scuffle wouldn't be severe. With Nathalie's current clout, Stewart Enterprise would definitely pull strings to shield her.
Nathalie grew impatient. "Cameron, why aren't you calling the cops? Hurry up, or I'll lose all respect for you." Cameron was stuck in his own turmoil...
In the end, it was Nathalie who whipped out her phone and decided to turn herself in.
As they waited for the cops, Cameron, perhaps still dazed from the beating, started whining to Nathalie, "Nathalie, my head hurts, my chest aches..." Nathalie rolled her eyes at him. "If you're hurt, see a doctor. What do you expectto do? I'm not smiracle worker." She couldn't even be bothered to look at him after that.
Cameron felt a sting of disappointment. He couldn't wrap his head around why Nathalie, who once loved him so deeply, had becso cold after leaving him.
He figured she hated him because she once loved him so much, but now he couldn't sense even a hint of that love.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSoon enough, the police showed up. Nathalie put her hands out willingly. "Officer, I'm the one who hit him. Go ahead and arrest me." The officer, part of Officer Baldwin's squad, glanced at Cameron, who looked pretty beat up, then at Nathalie with suspicion. "Why did you hit him?" el.n? Nathalie spun a tale, "He's my ex-husband. A good ex should stay out of my life, but he keeps popping up like a bad penny. Today, he botheredagain and even tried to strangle me, so I lost it... and gave him a good beating." "You managed to beat up a grown man like this? Ashley, I suggest you don't try to fool the police, or it'll only get worse," Officer Baldwin said, not buying it.
"Well... I did tell a few bodyguards to rough him up," Nathalie confessed, realizing honesty was her best bet. Her aim was to get into jail, not to trash her own reputation.
The Stewart family bodyguards lined up, but none would admit to touching Cameron.
Nanda looked at the guards, all wearing shades, and couldn't point out who did what. Officer Baldwin was stuck.
"Looks like we can't pinpoint who did it." Nathalie rubbed her neck. "Officer, he started it." Officer Baldwin glanced at the
marks on Nathalie's neck and finally called it. "The man was the initial aggressor, the woman was defending herself-albeit a bit too much. Both are at fault."
