Chapter 294
“What the…?”
The woman let out a scream that could wake the dead. “You hit me? You’re finished! Do you even know who you’re messing with? My family owns the Titan Corporation…”
Nathalie cut her off, calling her out by name. “Miss Diana, right? Your brother was just here the other day, practically begging me to work with him. Do you have any idea how humble he was? I finally took pity on him and agreed. You don’t seem intelligent, and I’m starting to wonder if your brother’s as much of a fool as you are. You’ve been used like a pawn, and you’re all smiles about it?”
Diana clutched her wound, staring in disbelief. “You know my brother?”
Nathalie’s gaze swept over the crowd, and she snapped her fingers at Carl, who looked uneasy. “Aren’t you going to step up for your sister?”
art was visibly annoyed with his sister, gave her a disappointed look, and turned to Nathalie with a smile. “Ms. Nathalie, my sister’s always been reckless. You giving her a lesson today is a favor to me.”
Diana broke down in tears.
Carl scolded, “Why are you crying? Are you trying to embarrass us even more?”
Diana stifled her sobs, sniffling miserably.

Everyone assumed Nathalie had played her part, and the drama was winding down. Still, Nathalie turned her attention to Greta, signaling that the real drama was just kicking off.
“So, Greta, tell me, was it me who seduced your boyfriend, or did your boyfriend kidnap me as a minor to save you? Can you be honest- with everyone now?”
Greta was blindsided by the unexpected turn of events and suddenly found herself under the spotlight. “This… I’m not really clear on the details…” she mumbled.
Nathalie held up a USB drive. “Greta, I’m giving you one last chance. If you don’t spill the truth, I’ll let everyone see what’s on this USB.” Greta panicked instantly. “Nathalie, today’s Mr. Justin’s birthday party. Why do you have to ruin it?”
Justin shouted, “Nathalie, do whatever you need to do. I won’t hold it against you.”
Justin’s clear support for Nathalie left Greta utterly humiliated. “Nathalie, do you really have to do this to me?”
Nathalie found it amusing. “You threw the first punch.”
“It was just a joke.”
“That joke wasn’t funny. But it reminded me that I needed to set the record straight about our family’s misdeeds to clear my name in the eyes of the public. So you can’t slander me again,” Nathalie declared.
Greta trembled with fear. Only then did she think to turn to Cameron for help, but seeing her plight, he had no intention of stepping in. Greta ran out, tears streaming down her face. Nathan gave Nathalie a thumbs–up. “Nathalie, you’re amazing.”
Nathalie laughed heartily. “With support from a powerful person like you, how could I not be?”
“Looks like I’ll need to work on giving you more of my support in the future.”
Nathalie laughed even more joyfully. To handle opponents, you had to be tougher than they were. That was the lesson she’d learned in her past life.
Good people got bullied, and gentle souls got taken for a ride.
The women around them no longer dared to speak ill of Nathalie, finally realizing that neither she nor Nathan were people they could afford to cross. And like birds scattering, they all dispersed.
