Chapter 320

Joanna lowered her head, feigning sorrow as she detailed the stark contrast between how he treated her and how he treated Natalie. The rıghtful source is ͟.net
A cryptic smile played on Sebastian’s lips. His hand, resting on the desk, tightened slightly. He didn’t say a word, instead sending a text to Sean.
[Get that topic off the trending list.]
Sean replied instantly: [Sir, it’s too late. You need to watch the livestream.]
Natalie’s company wasn’t far from Jared’s, only a few minutes’ drive. When they arrived, security guards tried to block their way, but Luna bulldozed a path through, allowing Natalie to easily reach Jared’s office.
Jared, completely unaware that he was walking into a trap, simply smirked when Natalie entered. He saw the pained expression on her face and felt a dark satisfaction. These people had forced her to become a vicious woman.
“Well, well, Natalie,” Jared said, his eyes filled with gloom. “Here to apologize already? You certainly got here fast.”
Natalie feigned agony. “Jared, why would you slander me like this?”
Jared’s lips twisted into a bloodthirsty smile. “It’s simple. Because you’re disobedient. You’re a country bumpkin. The Scott family gave you a good life, and you should be grateful. When you do something wrong, you should get on your knees and apologize, not try to steal my business deals. You know, Natalie,
it’s actually very easy to destroy
woman. Just like what you see online-take a few pictures with different men, photoshop your face onto them, and your reputation is ruined.”
The livestream audience went into an uproar.
Natalie was broadcasting from Q&N Collective’s official account. Within minutes, the viewer count had soared past one hundred thousand and was still climbing. A flicker of contempt crossed her eyes. He had exposed himself with his very first words.
Jared didn’t give Natalie a chance to speak. “Natalie, you made my sister’s life difficult, so I’ll make yours a living hell. I told you before, if you make Joanna shed a single tear or suffer in any way, and don’t kneel and apologize to her, I will show you no mercy.”
“But Joanna was the one who set
me up from the very beginning! What right do you have to say I was wrong? You and she are truly
brother and sister, using the exl.ne
same scheming tactics. I’m just your family’s adopted daughter Dol deserve to be bullied like this? You adopted me when I was seventeen for no other reason than to have a free maid. And once you’d used me up and achieved your goals, you threw me out with a single piece of paper. The cruelty of the Scott family knows no bounds.”
“Haha A low, chilling laugh rumbled in Jared’s throat. His narrow eyes grew colder, sending a shiver through the viewers watching the livestream. Natalie, however, continued to glare at him with a look of pure anguish.
Seeing the tears welling in her eyes gave him a perverse sense of pleasure. He would never admit that Natalie was exceptional. He would never admit that they had been blind.
He stepped closer to Natalie, his
voice laced with a bone-chilling cold. “Natalie, at least you have some self-awareness. My father brought you back to use you. You’re only just figuring that out now? Well, since you’ve figured it out, you should get lost and stay far away. Don’t interfere with Joanna’s happiness. You think you’re even worthy of being compared to her?”
