Chapter 320 A pathetic life, where did the spoiled princess temper come

from?

Seeing that Julian had already made his position clear, Niki naturally refused to fall

behind. She chimed in, “Yeah, Natalie, that’s not where you should go. Come back.

quickly!”

“If you wanted to play the hero and hope that Julian would look at you in a better light

because of it, I’d say you’re better off not wasting your efforts.”

Trying to please a man also requires considering the situation.

Acting like Natalie, disregarding the occasion and rushing outside recklessly, can only be

described as foolish.

What’s the Spears family anyway?

It’s not somewhere she can just take credit for herself.

“If you keep going forward, all you’ll get is humiliation. It’s better to stop here and wait for Julian toarrange what to do next.”

Niki said, involuntarily crossing her arms and looking disdainfully at Natalie not far

away.

Disgust was about to overflow from her eyes.

Upon hearing these words, Natalie abruptly halted her steps.

Niki wanted her to obediently wait and see what Julian would arrange next?

Ha… how ridiculous.

Natalie couldn’t help raising an eyebrow. Waiting for others to arrange everything? Was

she a child? Did she have no opinions of her own?

Get Bon

Or did she lose any of her own will after leaving a man?

Living entirely depending on a man, huh?

She couldn’t be bothered with the two of them, completely ignoring the questioning

voices behind her, and continued walking forward.

One step after another passed beneath her feet as she approached the top.

“Natalie.”

The voice of the man behind her echoed once again.

The content was the same, but this time it carried an angry provocation.

“I told you not to go, didn’t you hear me?”

“The Spears family is not where you should be. Come back.”

He had said this once before, and now it was the second time. Julian didn’t want to say it

a third time.

He knew Natalie could be foolish at times, but he didn’t expect her to be this foolish.

Although Niki’s words earlier were somewhat uncomfortable, they did make some

sense.

This was the Spears family in New York, not a place for her to play the hero.

He could understand Natalie’s desire for attention, but it shouldn’t be used here.

He didn’t like it.

“You don’t have to waste your effort. Even if you can sacrifice your dignity and aren’t afraid of beinghumiliated by the Spears family, I won’t look at you any differently.”

Get Bunta

His words were extremely cold, devoid of any emotion, and resolute.

As his words fell, Natalie’s steps abruptly stopped. Her figure swayed, seemingly hurt by

his words.

Just then, a gust of wind blew, lifting the woman’s hair, making her appear even more

fragile.

Niki watched Natalie’s “fragile” figure and squinted her eyes, the disdain in her eyes

intensifying.

Was Natalie trying to imitate her by pretending to be fragile?

She couldn’t help rolling her eyes. What a joke! What can a substitute do by acting

fragile?

She knew that Natalie was trying to get Julian’s attention.

Look, Julian had just uttered his decisive words, and she couldn’t hold on anymore. How

laughable.

The wind blew through the woman’s light green cheongsam, causing her to sway

unsteadily, as if she could collapse at any moment.

Julian looked at the woman’s fragile figure and suddenly felt a twinge of guilt. Had he

said too harshly just now?

He was angry in the heat of the moment and didn’t pay attention to his words.

He must have hurt her…

Full of guilt, not even stopping for a second, the man had a change of heart again.

The blame was on Natalie.

If she had stopped right when he said it the first time, would he have spewed such nasty

stuff?

Get Borum

The first time, he still maintained a pleasant demeanor, but she ignored his words, which

was all her own doing.

“Come back with me to Los Angeles.”

Even though it wasn’t entirely his fault, Julian reluctantly decided to be the bigger person and draggedNatalie along to Los Angeles,

She would surely become happy again.

However, what the two of them didn’t expect was that Natalie didn’t turn back, Instead, she slightly bentdown and picked up a blade of grass from the ground.

She dusted off the dirt from the grass with utmost care and held it in her hand.

Once everything was in order, she resumed walking forward as if the previous voice

didn’t exist.

What did she mean by that?

They thought Natalie had just stopped and become obedient, but they didn’t expect her to do it just topick up a worthless blade of grass?

Julian’s face, which had just softened, instantly turned ugly. This time, he was thoroughly..

angry.

Enough is enough. His patience had reached its limit.

“Natalie, don’t refuse the toast, or you’ll face the consequences!” The man’s forehead showed a slightvein, his voice laced with deep anger.

“Do you think my words went in one ear and out the other?!”

Because they were at a distance and not familiar with the grass, it looked no different

from a roadside wildflower to them.

But Natalie was different.

Natalie was well-versed in various medicinal herbs. The “little grass” she held in her hand was anextremely precious herb, mainly used for treating eye ailments.

She had no idea where such a valuable herb came from. Perhaps the gust of wind had brought it to herfeet.

Since it had ended up at her feet, instinctively, as a doctor, she subconsciously picked it

1.

But unexpectedly, before she could secure the herb in her hand, a hand with bulging veins suddenlyreached out from behind and snatched the herb away without a word.

“What are you doing?” Natalie was startled.

She didn’t even get a chance to look at the man and her entire focus was on that herb.

Without second thought, she turned around, half-crouched, and reached out to retrieve the herb.

Her hand was halfway there when suddenly a foot emerged from the green herb. The foot appearedsmall and cute, but its action was malicious.

Without mercy, it ruthlessly stomped on the green herb.

Natalie could clearly see the herb being flattened, and the fresh green sap oozing out of its tenderveins, resembling blood.

She couldn’t believe her eyes.

This herb, there were only a few dozen plants of it in the entire New York. It was a complete waste todestroy it like that.

Who could be so wicked? Not even sparing a single blade of grass?

Natalie looked up, meeting Niki’s eyes.

In that moment of eye contact, Niki suddenly exclaimed, covering her mouth and

repeatedly stepping back, “Ah… I’m sorry, I didn’t see this herb…”

She seemed confused and surprised, “Natalie, did you want to pick this herb just now?”

“I didn’t see it, so sorry.”

Natalie’s expression turned cold, and a chilling glint flickered in her gentle eyes.

She could instantly tell that Niki was faking it.

“How could you be so rotten to the core?”

‘Sinking to the level where you’d even stomp on a simple herb?”

“Do you feel superior by crushing lives under your feet?”

Natalie’s piercing gaze at that moment left Niki puzzled and astonished.

“You… You… I already said it wasn’t intentional. Why are you looking at me like that?”

Natalie’s gaze was really intense, and her heart felt like it was pounding fiercely.

Niki took a step back and hid behind Julian.

“Julian… Natalie is so scary, I’m so scared.”

Julian stood in front, shielding Niki from Natalie’s sword-like gaze.

“It’s just a wild grass,” the man’s gaze was calm, his voice a bit impatient.

“Natalie, there’s no need to make such a big fuss, right?”

Niki found solace behind Julian, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down.

Julian was right, it was just worthless grass she stepped on. Why did Natalie have to go.

to such lengths?

She was being unreasonable.

Clearly, she has a pathetic life. Who was she to have such a spoiled princess temper?

Couldn’t she replace a mirror and reflect on herself? Did she deserve it?

“Making a fuss over nothing?” Natalie’s anger deepened in her eyes. “Do you know how

precious it is?”

In her eyes, even if she sold Niki, it wouldn’t compare to this herb.

But Julian didn’t want to listen to Natalie’s words till the end.

He didn’t have time for two women fighting over a herb, getting jealous here. It was

making him irritated.

Without further ado, he issued his ultimatum, “Hurry up and come back to Los Angeles

with me.”

Saying that, he directly grabbed Natalie’s wrist and pulled her down the steps.

What he did was all for Natalie’s own good.

He didn’t want to see her being humiliated by the Spears family. The Spears family thought they weresuperior to everyone else, looking down on people with absolute disdain… Going there would haveundoubtedly led to unfavorable outcomes.

Why couldn’t Natalie understand his heartfelt intentions?
