Chapter 300 Rejection

Knitting her brows, Natalie turned around to see Christopher.

She realized that he had already let go of the weeping Jacyntha and stood in front of her.

She looked at him, her eyes glistening. “I am heading home.”

“Home? Your arms are injured. Let me take you to the hospital.”

Christopher took a glance at her bloodstained lacy sleeves. Automatically, he approached her, wanting to hold her wrist. Natalie swiftly avoided him, leaving his hand hanging mid-air.

“You…”

“It’s just a minor wound. I don’t need you to take me to the hospital.” She covered up her injury and muttered, “I think it’s best you stay to take care of Ms. Smith. She almost fell off the building, and she’s still emotionally unstable.”

Christopher furrowed his brows and clenched his fists.

His grip was so tight that even his knuckles turned white and started cracking.

What an ingrate! I wanted to care for her wholeheartedly, yet she has the audacity to reject me? If it were anyone else, I would have thrown her into the sea to feed the sharks.

Anyhow, he could not ignore the fact that she was injured, regardless of how infuriated he was.

Christopher reprimanded her, “Natalie, don’t you understand what I said?”

“Wasn’t my reply crystal clear?” Natalie questioned him. “It’s just a small matter. I can deal with it myself. Thank you.”

Thereafter, she left without taking a glance at him.

Jacyntha was still slumped against the rooftop walls. The uncontrollable tears had completely ruined her makeup. She looked unkempt, disheveled, and pitiful at the same time.

Looming over her, Christopher yelled, “Jacyntha, if it weren’t for her, you’d be a piece of dead meat by now.”

Sobbing, Jacyntha’s silence implied her admission.

“Henceforth, don’t let me see you and anyone from the Smith family ever again,” he articulated a crude warning without the slightest emotion.

“Chris!” Jacyntha lifted her crying face.

“I… I’m sorry… I know I’ve crossed the line this time. I can apologize to Ms. Natalie, and I promise not to do such a stupid thing again…” she pleaded.

“That’s enough,” he cut her off.

“You know how much she means to me, don’t you? Then, you’re well aware that she’s my bottom line. If you plan to lay a finger on her, you’d better be prepared for all the consequences that will befall your family.”

Although Jacyntha regretted her action deeply, Christopher swore not to give her a second chance.

On the other hand, Natalie finally felt the stinging pain in her arms after the pins and needles went away.

Luckily, her injury was not severe despite how awful the abrasions looked.

Yana was surprised to see the wounds on her arms. Curious, she asked, “What happened Natalie? How did you get hurt?”

Natalie did not explain to her in detail but briefly mentioned that she needed to leave the banquet early.

The understanding Yana did not pursue further, knowing that Natalie might have her reasons to keep it a secret. After giving her a few reminders, she sent her to the door.

As soon as they arrived at the gate, Natalie heard two different honking sounds.

One from a Hummer, and the other was a Ferrari.

As a socialite, Yana could also recognize that both honks came from Christopher and Samuel respectively. She recalled having met them once or twice.

Wow, the two arch-rivals in the business world are both here for Natalie?

Massaging her temples, Natalie was rendered speechless.

Yikes, why do these two men show up at the gate at the same time?

“Natalie, they are…” Yana was interested to replace out why.

“Yana, I know it looks rather complicated, but actually it’s not.”

After saying that, she strode toward the Hummer, opened its passenger door, and entered the car without any hesitation.
