Chapter 1031 Just Enjoy Them For Yourself

“What the h*ll is this?” Heidi was in so much pain that her eyes were almost spitting fire.

If Heidi thought that the pain that the lanky guy felt in his hands was happenstance before, how could her own hands be hurting like this right now? This was proof that it was inevitable.

The chained-up woman said nothing, but with a further wriggle from her, the catches to that chain unlocked by themselves.

Without anything left to anchor it, that hefty length of chain suddenly came crashing onto the floor with a dull thud.

Natalie casually rotated her wrists. The bruises she had intentionally left around them for the sake of projecting realism still felt a little tender to the touch. She, however, knew that her discomfort was nothing compared to the harrowing agony that was currently coursing through Heidi’s hands.

“T-This? How?” cried Heidi in abject disbelief.

Heidi was convinced that the drugged-out Natalie, who was also being shackled by such rigid iron chains, would be guaranteed no other fate that night besides being subject to ruination. It never occurred to her that the latter might have any shot at escaping.

It was precisely how that woman had been able to calmly free herself against those odds that shook her to the core.

Lifting a hand to remove the white sash bound over her face, Natalie unveiled a moist pair of eyes that were permeated by a cold sneer. When she regarded the gobsmacked Heidi, her lips unleashed a smile that was as radiant as a lotus in bloom.

“Having already met Ms. Helma, I did not expect to have the good honor of running into the second young lady of the Leitz family today.” Pausing briefly, Natalie then continued, “A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ms. Heidi. Given the circumstances of our first encounter here, I have to say that you’re quite the adventurous type!”

“The chains around your wrists… How?” Heidi’s brows were tightly wrought. “They’ve already had you restrained in iron, so how could those chains have been broken off so easily?”

“Whatever is tethered can also become undone!” said Natalie, smiling slyly.

“You!”

Seeing her plot fail got Heidi gnashing her teeth.

If Natalie is allowed to escape, not only would Samuel replace out about what I’ve done. Even the Leitz family and the entire world beyond would know about it.

Although Geert had doted on her and more or less turned a blind eye to the atrocious lifestyle she led earlier, he might choose not to protect her in order to uphold the reputation of his family in consideration of the near-criminal nature of her actions there.

The thought of that led Heidi to turn coldly to her subordinates beside her. “What are you standing there for? She’s not unconscious, so why are you not trying to seize her? Should she manage to escape today, none of us will be able to get out of this unscathed…”

Heidi’s words brought her subordinates around, and they immediately closed in on Natalie with hostile intent.

“Did you not see for yourselves what happened to the hands of your employer and that man when they merely touched me?” said Natalie with a soft chuckle, curling her lips.

Those words immediately brought about a deterrent effect.

Her subordinates had witnessed the swollen and itchy state Heidi and that man’s hands were in. Having made contact for a longer duration earlier, that man had already passed out on the floor from his ordeal.

Everyone was hoping for the person next to them to initiate the first move, but still, no one actually dared to advance.

Scrutinizing those before her scornfully, Natalie’s gaze was as aloof as the moon. “You really have yourself a pile of garbage in your stable, Ms. Heidi. Never mind the dearth of competency—their lack of courage is absolutely pathetic.”

Even after she had roundly insulted them, those people remained apprehensive about getting closer to her, regardless.

She could not help but shake her head in disappointment.

Rubbish is as rubbish does. Squirming like that even before a fight? Not one bit of manliness to them at all.

What Natalie did not know was that those subordinates had not treated her words as a taunt but saw them as an actual warning. Were they to disregard it, they were seriously afraid that they may end up in a worse off state than the ones who had preceded them.

Heidi was positively livid at her own subordinates.

“What exactly is it that you want?” Heidi glared at Natalie.

Natalie walked up and casually caught Heidi by the throat. “Did you gather these men here to defile me? I heard that they were screened and personally handpicked by you, so it’s a bit of a pity for them to keep me company, wouldn’t it? I’d say, why don’t you just enjoy them for yourself?”
