Natalie tensed up all over.

She looked at Remington with her eyes full of fear and warned him as her voice trembled, "Remington, if you dare to hurt me, I will hate you for as long as I live, and I will never forgive you!" Her words did not affect Remington at all.

Instead, he smirked and said, "You'll hate me for as long as you live? Natalie, you once said that you'd hate Tobias for a lifetime too. You said that you would never forgive him. But what happened?"

Remington paused and bent over. The smile on his lips grew wider. "Or maybe to you, hate and love are two sides of the same coin. Only hatred can make you love. Natalie, was I too kind to you? Was that the reason why you never loved me? Perhaps if I try to make you hate me a little more, you will end up loving me, right?"

Natalie shook her head in fear, "Remington, you're crazy! You're just spouting nonsense!"

Remington tugged the collar of her shirt and said, "Nonsense? Natalie, we won't know until we try. I regret not making you mine in the car last time. If I had given in to my lust for you, maybe the one you're getting married to wouldn't be Tobias!!"

"Remington, enough is enough!" Natalie glared at him, her eyes turning red. "You are wrong. Even if you had ever laid a finger on me in the car that day, nothing would have changed! The only one who I could hate and love at the same time is Tobias, not you. Don't be delusional!"

Upon hearing Natalie's words, there was a flash of ferocity in his eyes.

He covered Natalie's mouth with his lips immediately, kissing her without hesitation.

He didn't want to listen to this woman anymore. He no longer wanted to hear her say the name "Tobias"!

He desired her. He needed to touch her so badly. He needed to own her, there and then.

However, one second later, Remington let go of Natalie out of pain.

A few drops of blood seeped out from his lips.

He had always been a handsome guy. However, the blood seeping from the wound in his mouth invoked confusion that was clearly visible from his expression. Remington covered his mouth with his hand.

His slender, fair fingers were instantly dyed red.

Remington's gaze fell on Natalie's face and asked, "Natalie, you bit me? You bit so hard."

His voice became colder and colder, "Do you think that makes a difference? Do you really think you can stop me? Natalie, it's child's play for me to get you."

As he finished his words, he reached out to tear off Natalie's clothes.

Natalie looked at him, her gaze never faltering, full of resentment. "That's right, I can't stop you, because I could never stop a brute!"

From the moment she was held captive, her impression of Remington had changed.

He was no longer the man she regarded as her best male friend, but a complete lunatic.

Especially with all that he was doing to her, Natalie was chilled to the core.

She regretted getting to know Remington. She regretted that she had once treated him as her friend.

Just as Natalie finished speaking, Remington's hands froze.

The word "brute" hit him hard.

It turned out that he was a "brute" in Natalie's heart all along!

He felt like his heart had been torn apart by an invisible pair of hands, making it ache terribly.

His desire suddenly faded away.

"Natalie, am I just a brute to you?" Fear penetrated Remington's gaze.

Natalie bit her lip. She didn't answer.

A moment later, Remington suddenly smiled.

"What about Tobias?" He stared into Natalie's eyes. "He has hurt you in so many ways, yet you still love him, and now you are even marrying him. What even is he?" "He is my husband. He's my man!" Natalie responded without hesitation.

Remington's eyes flashed with pain.

"Natalie, do you know about your past? Do you know how your parents died? Even so, you still want to be with this man?" His gentle voice was suddenly raised.

Natalie held her breath for a moment.

Half a second later, she looked straight into his gaze, without even the slightest trace of hesitation in her voice. "Remington, I know about my past, but I still want to stay with Tobias nevertheless. There's nothing except death in this world that can stop me from loving Tobias!"

Her words made Remington's heart sink.

His eyes reflected a hint of insanity. "Even if you love him so much, does he love you the same? He must have changed his mind since he found out about your past. Otherwise, why didn't he show up at your wedding? Natalie, he regrets it. He doesn't want to marry you at all. Even so, why are you still obsessed with him?"

"I don't believe a word that you're saying!" Natalie stared at Remington. "Even if he did not show up at the wedding, I choose to believe him. He would never turn away and abandon me. I believe that he feels the same, that he loves me as much as I do. There is nothing that could separate us except death!"

Natalie's eyes were filled with determination. Remington could not help but take a step back.

His heart felt bone-piercing agony and coldness.

All of a sudden, the large room was filled with dead silence.

"So you are blinded by love," Remington murmured after a while.

His gaze was deep, without a trace of emotion in it. "Natalie, did you know? Your family background is actually fake. It was Yuna who had threatened Jessie and asked her to make up a fake one for you. Back in the day, that special agent couple did give birth to a daughter who coincidentally had the same birthday as you, but that child isn't you."

Natalie was flabbergasted.

She stared at him in complete disbelief, "What are you talking about?!"

Remington's voice became weaker and weaker. "Everything was a lie, just to separate you and Tobias. But Natalie, I didn't expect you to be so blinded by love. Even such a bloody feud can't stop you from loving Tobias. You really love him!"

Natalie's head was buzzing, as if it was going to explode.

Something flashed across her mind.

She had never suspected that her past was made up, because the investigation had revealed that Jessie was the one who had sent her to the orphanage. She had never thought that Jessie would lie. Remington's words reminded her of the call she had received from Yuna before.

She wondered how Yuna knew about her background, yet she hadn't had the time to think about it carefully...

She finally understood. Everything was a scam from the start.

It was all plotted by Yuna, that was why she knew her identity so clearly.

Natalie was stunned, and she could not believe it.

"Remington, it's you. It's you and Yuna who plotted this together. You're absolutely despicable!"

She had never thought that Remington would do such a thing!
