Chapter 642


    Chapter 642


    The Hartleys were the real deal, the creme de creme, sitting on a fortune that left the other three big


    families of Riverton in the dust. Cornelia was well aware of this. If she’d known that Jeremy was


    actually Marcus, she might not have tied the knot with him But, since she did say “I do“, and that they


    were legally hitched, the gap in their status couldn’t be a roadblock in their marital journey.


    Cornelia was done arguing with ir, “Mrs Reese, I’ll text you my bank ount number. If the


    compensation ain’t in my ount by six this afternoon, you’re on your own”


    “You think I’m gonna cough up a penny for you? Dream on ir wasn’t keen on parting with her dough,


    but she knew she had to pony up now


    Before she could finish, Cornelia hung up the phone. Looking at the “call ended” on her screen, she


    was so ticked off she wanted to throw her phone against the wall.


    Having been given a hard time by Cornelia, ir turned her fury on Natalia, “Tell me, did you


    deliberately let the cameras catch you slipping the ne into that woman’s bagst night?”


    Natalia sat expressionless on the sofa, staring nkly at the door, seemingly not hearing ir’s


    interrogation.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Seeing Natalia’s apathetic demeanor, ir got angrier, “Natalia, I’m talking to you. Are you even


    listening?”


    Tve already said it wasn’t me. Why do you keep grilling me? If you only want to hear me say ‘yes‘,


    what’s the point of questioning me?” Natalia stared out the window, not Turning around


    She knew they just wanted her to confess, then shift all the me forst night onto her. In the past,


    although Cameron hit and cursed at her, she didn’t feel hopeless because she believed she had her


    parents” support and that one day they’d stand up for her.


    Butst night, due to Marcus‘ intervention, their scheme was exposed, and they had to apologize to


    Cornelia After the guests left, her father had her face the press, admitting that she’d masterminded and


    executed the fake ne and theft incidents. They scripted her lines, had her memorize them, then


    filmed a video


    So,st night’s set–up turned into her attempt to frame and nder Cornelia, and her mother chose to


    take the me to protect her daughter. Once the video was released, all fingers would point at her, and


    they knew better than she did about the media bacsh she’d face.


    But they didn’t give a damn. It dawned on her that they didn’t care about her. She was a nonentity in


    this family. When the storm came, not only wouldn’t they be her shelter, they’d even rip apart the


    umbre she used to fend off the rain.


    ir was provoked by Natalia’s words, raising her voice, “What did you say?”


    Afterst night’s incident, Granger punished her by not letting her sleep for a whole night, and Cameron


    also mocked her mercilessly. Today’s online media painted her as a vain creature, and Cornelia also


    insulted her. Now, even her own daughter, the only person she could manipte, was ignoring her.


    This feeling of being abandoned by the world drove ir off the deep end, and she pped Natalia in


    the face.
