Chapter 679

Marshall Hah… She said his name so familiarly.

Natalie could act all high and mighty here, but when they were back under the same roof, there would be consequences.

“Natalie, Wayne’s project has run into some trouble recently. I was just about to send someone to handle it, but given your behavior, maybe they don’t need to go after all p>

He said this calmly, then stood up and walked away.

The meaning was clear: he expected Natalie to follow him.

It had always been Natalie chasing after him. He was used to simply standing up and leaving, presenting her with nothing but his back.

Natalie watched him go, wishing her gaze could turn into a blade and pierce straight through his heart, making him disappear from this world forever.

Natalie picked up her phone and texted Wayne.

[Wayne, I heard there’s some trouble with your project abroad. Is that true p>

Wayne: [Natty, it’s nothing, just a minor issue. I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry. Eat well

and dress warmly when you go out so you don’t catch a cold p>

Reading this, Natalie realized Sebastian wasn’t lying. Something really had happened.

Natalie turned to Marshall. “Marshall, don’t provoke Sebastian again. His true power is hidden, and if he decides to make your life difficult, he’s far more terrifying than Joanna p>

Marshall grew anxious. “So… since I provoked him just now, is he going to come after me p>

A year ago, he was carefree, but he had been through so much since then that he had become wary.

He had faced one scheme after another, and it had genuinely made him fearful. It wasn’t the one-time threat you worried about, but being a constant target.

Natalie smiled at him. “Scared now, are we p>

Marshall thought of Wendy’s company and nodded. “A little p>

Natalie reassured him with a smile. “Don’t worry, Sebastian isn’t as vicious as Joanna. Take your time eating. I’m going to go see him p>

After Natalie left, Marshall suddenly remembered Sebastian’s words, filled with threat.

“Natalie Marshall wanted to ask for clarification, but her figure had already vanished into the grand hall.

Nathan drove Sophia and Joanna home.

The three of them were lost in their own thoughts during the ride.

Only Sophia looked ashen and defeated. She had lived a glamorous life and had never been so humiliated.

That bitch Mrs. Wilson, was trying to ruin her. She couldn’t keep her own man, yet she blamed it all on me Just you wat ‘ll make her life a living hell.

As soon as they entered the house, Nathan turned and slapped Sophia across the face.

Lost in thought about how to get back at Mrs. Wilson and Wendy, she was stunned by the sudden blow.

“Nathan, you hit me?” Sophia, already feeling wronged, burst into tears.

Joanna was also furious. Her father was such a coward-all he did when he was angry was hit people, and when he was broke, he ran to Wendy. A total loser.

He had some use before, but now he was practically worthless.

She scoffed, “Dad, what’s the point of hitting Mom now? She’s the one who’s been making connections for you, keeping your business afloat. You’re not innocent yourself, so why blame her p>

“If you had just gotten rid of Wendy sooner, would Mom have had to suffer this humiliation p>

“She’s been through enough tonight. What good does hitting her do? It’s your own incompetence. Mom put up with you for years. The least you could do is appreciate her sacrifice, but instead, you resort to domestic viofence p>
