Chapter 71
Natalie was immediately brought to Grace’s residence by Nathan. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Outside the door stood a bodyguard hired by Grace.
“Nathan, can’t you stop being so impulsive? Be more sensible! You pull me here without her permission! What if she doesn’t want to see us?” Natalie asked with a bit of annoyance She didn’t come to her senses until this time.
“It’s her business that she doesn’t want to see us. Why can’t we go see her?” Nathan looked at Natalie in surprise and replied.
Natalie couldn’t help being helpless. She felt she and Nathan couldn’t understand each other’s logic.
When the bodyguard saw the two approaching, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said, “Stop! Who are you?”
“I’m Natalie… I came here to apologize to Miss Cole,” said Natalie aggrievedly, biting her lower lip.
The bodyguard sneered, “You are the Natalie who offended Miss Cole yesterday? I’m sorry Miss Cole said she wouldn’t see you unless you are tied and kneel in front of her door!”
Natalie looked embarrassed and didn’t know how to respond.
Nathan stepped forward and said, “Excuse me, we are here to find Grace to solve the matter. I think she can’t bear the consequences if she avoids seeing us now.”
The bodyguard’s face was stern, and he sneered, “Are you kidding me? Miss Cole has already imposed sanctions on the Johnson Group, and you are the ones who suffer! What consequences can there be?”
“What’s more, Miss Cole has already put it clear that you must kneel if you want to see her! Don’t you understand?”
Natalie said, “Sir, it will be an accommodation if you can let us in.”
The bodyguard shook his head and said, “No, I’ll go to report when you kneel! Also, don’t try to relate to me. You’re not qualified.”
“You are just a bodyguard. What qualifies you to be arrogant?” Nathan couldn’t help laughing.
“I’m a bodyguard, but I’m Miss Cole’s bodyguard. If you want to see her, you have to kneel. Do people like you guys deserve my respect? You two no-good, kneel or not? If you don’t kneel, get out of here. Don’t waste my time,” said the bodyguard coldly in a deep voice.
Nathan said with a smile, “Do you know what it feels like to rub your head against the ground?”
Hearing this, the bodyguard became more indifferent and said, “I used to be an elite in a special company and the top ten in several big competitions. If you want to experience this feeling, I will help you.”
Seeing that Nathan seemed about to fight, Natalie couldn’t help but anxiously say, “Nathan, be sensible…”
Before Natalie could finish her words, Nathan began to move.
The bodyguard roared, “You’re courting death!”
The moment Nathan’s slap approached and was about to touch him, the bodyguard’s body moved and was about to hit Nathan to the ground with a standard military grapple. But before he got close enough, Nathan’s terrifying, brute force pierced through his whole body at once. The tall and burly body was instantly flipped over and fell down to the ground with a bang.
Bang!
The bodyguard’s face was smashed into the ground hard, making him almost pass out.
He covered his nose and cried in pain, “How dare you be presumptuous in front of Miss Cole’s door! Do you know who bought this villa for Miss Cole? It was the president of the Negino Commerce, Negino Mendez!”
Bang!
Nathan Kicked the door, making it suddenly open wide.
“Let’s go! Why are you still standing there? Not solve the problem?” Turning his head, Nathan said to Natalie calmly.
Natalie felt a pounding in her head. But at this point, she had no choice but to summon her courage to follow Nathan into the villa.
The noise at the gate naturally alarmed Grace. She was putting on makeup, trying to cover up the bruises on her face. After all, Nathan’s slap yesterday was not light.
“Great courage! You came to see me. Not only did you not kneel, but you kicked my gate!” Grace stood up and said in shock and anger.
A bitter smile appeared on Natalie’s face, and she said, “Miss Cole, if enmity is not settled amicably, there is no end to it. Please, do not be too hard on the Johnson Group. I’m willing to pay any price to ask for your forgiveness…”
“Forgive you? Didn’t I tell you to kneel in front of my gate for three days and nights?”
“If you kneel for three days and nights, I will naturally give you a chance to sit down with me and have a talk! But you can’t even meet this request. How dare you come to beg me for mercy!”
“Then, why should I be kind to you?” Grace’s attitude was aggressive and arrogant.
Natalie said bitterly. “We were once classmates, after all. To you, it’s just a matter of one sentence. Why do you have to be hard on us?”
“Classmates? Are you qualified? Don’t mention this identity because I feel sick when I think about it. I don’t have classmates like you,” sneered Grace.
Nathan lightly patted Natalie’s shoulder and said, “Alright. Natalie, no need to waste your time talking with such scum. Even if you kneel for three days, she might not be willing to make good on her promise!”
Grace sneered, “Hey, you’re right. Even if she kneels for three days, I might not agree to a settlement!”
Grace’s words brought Natalie up short, then she asked, “What will it take for you to leave the Johnson Group alone?”
Grace’s face twitched, and she said, “Do you know how embarrassed I was at the banquet yesterday? Do you know how much money! lost, how badly my reputation was damaged after terminating the contract with the Giradia Group?”
“Now, you ask me to let go of your Johnson Group! Sorry, no way! I won’t give up until I destroy your company! What’s more, I will give you and your family no peace!”
Natalie said aggrievedly, “But… You were the one who teased me first yesterday!”
“So what? How noble I am now. What qualifies you to compare with me?”
“I teased you because I still remember the friendship when we were classmates back then. I just made a joke with you so that you can make yourself present in front of me!”
“Whatever I want to do to you, you must endure it obediently and even force your face into a smile to thank me for remembering you, a nobody!”
Grace crossed her hands around her chest and looked at Natalie mockingly, saying, “Kneel! If you kneel and kowtow to me now, I can consider letting you go, and I will give you two conditions. If you can meet them, I will no longer be hard on the Johnson Group.”
Natalie was furious at Grace’s words, but she dared not show her anger in front of her. Now, the life and death of the Johnson Group were under Grace’s control, so she could only swallow her pride.
“Did you forget what I said yesterday?” Nathan said at this moment, his gaze, as sharp as a knife, settled on Grace’s face.
As soon as Grace heard his words, she became even angrier.
She roared, “Oh, I almost forgot your useless husband! You must break his right hand in front of me. Yesterday, he used it to slap me! If you can’t do it, there is nothing we can talk about!”
Natalie sighed deeply and said, “Then I’d better kneel…”
At this moment, Nathan stopped Natalie with a grab, took a step forward, and said coldly, “Grace, I’ll give you a chance now. Don’t act recklessly!”
“Post an article on the Internet immediately and make a solemn apology to the Johnson Group. Then, as you said yesterday, sign the contract with the Johnson Group for free!”
