Xavier was satisfied by Natalie’s reaction. He sneered and said, “Get it yourself if you think you’re such a bre deal. The nerve of you, trying to insult me when you’re blind as a bat! What gave you the balls to do that
Natalie was already weighed down by frustration, so his action broke her. Grievance filled her heart, and she felt
her nose prickle
She couldn’t understand why these people kept bullying her. Why did they take pleasure in insulting and humiliating her? What had she done wrong? She was about to lose her mind from all this agony.
Suddenly, Natalie turned in Xavier’s direction and lunged at him. She grabbed his collar and shouted, “Do! deserve to be bullied just because I’m a nanny’s daughter? Is my existence a mistake because my mother did something wrong? Do you think you have the right to walk all over me because I don’t fight back?
“I’m a human, Xavier! A living, breathing human! I’m capable of feeling, and I get upset, too! I don’t expect you guys to treat me well, but can’t you just leave me alone? That’s all I ask for can’t you even give me that?”
Xavier was stupefied by her outburst. He snapped to his senses after a while and said, “L–Look, let me go. I’ll pick the cane up for you, alright?”
Natalie calmed down upon hearing that.
Thankfully, Xavier was a man of his word. He picked up the white cane from the green strip and threw it at
Natalie with a scowl. “There. Happy now?”
He turned and got into the car after that. He didn’t immediately leave, though. He sat there and watched as
Natalie clutched the cane before getting into a cab a while later.
For some reason, he followed her to her destination. It was only when he watched her enter a club that he
realized what he was doing
He furrowed his brows and punched the steering wheel. Then, he subconsciously glanced in the direction Natalie had gone
It was hard to believe she could still go about her day without kicking up a fuss despite Jason abandoning her on her birthday
Xavier was suddenly reminded of something that had happened when he and Natalie were still together. They’d
once agreed to catch a film together, but he’d forgotten about it after meeting some friends for drinks
Natalie had foolishly waited for fun throughout the night, and she’d acted like nothing had happened the following day She hadn’t even said anything harsh to him
That was one thing Natalie would always be better at than Sienna
Xavier’s expression darkened What had gotten into him? Why was he suddenly remembering Natalie’s good points? He must’ve lost his mind
He retracted his gaze and drove off
Unbeknownst to him, a black car had trailed him and parked in a dark corner The man in the car had an
unfathomable gaze as he stared in the direction Natalie had left.
The person in the driver’s seat said carefully, “Mr. Matfel, Ms Spencer has deregistered herself everywhere
She’s also bought a ticket for a flight out of Grendale that leaves tonight.”
Rowan’s face remained devoid of emotion, but his eyes gleamed icily. Was Natalie saying her goodbyes that night? If she was, he was already looking forward to the next time they met.
Natalie headed upstairs, and the server only left her after leading her right to a private room. She stood there, not in a hurry to enter the room. The agitation she’d felt earlier had now calmed.
Was Sienna that desperate to become Mossey’s last apprentice? It was too bad her wish wouldn’t come true,
even with Jason paving the path for her.
Natalie pulled out her phone and dialed a number
Meanwhile, Sienna sat in an upscale restaurant. The revolving table before her was laden with exquisite dishes,
and there were people serving them as they ate
She was confident. After all, Mossey had already made it clear that he had high hopes for her. She was positive
she would become his last apprentice
Her smile remained in place until he got off the phone. Then, she watched as he stood up and said, “My
apprentice won’t let me eat any more, Ms Spencer. Our game ends here.”
