Chapter 197
Suddenly, Natalie frowned. “Honey, why do I smell perfume on you?”
The scent of this perfume seemed familiar. She felt like she had just smelled it.
Jeremy pursed his lips. “Do I? It must be the perfume the secretary was wearing. We happened to
be in the same elevator this morning.”
“There was a beautiful woman who just walked out. Is she your new secretary?” Natalie didn’t dwell
on it, but she didn’t like the scent of this perfume.
If she wasn’t confident that Jeremy only had eyes for her, she would definitely resent Jeremy for
hiring a secretary who was even prettier than her.
Jeremy responded with a faint “Yeah.”
Considering Jeremy’s indifferent attitude toward his secretary, Natalie decided not to think too
much.

She smiled and said, “Don’t be so aloof toward your employees, Mr. Hughes. What if you scare
them
away?”
“Isn’t it a good thing that I’m only gentle to you?” Jeremy ruffled Natalie’s hair dotingly.
Natalie couldn’t help butugh. “Of course! I’m a jealous woman. I get green with envy easily. My
husband
is so handsome. I think many women have their eyes on you.”
“Don’t worry. Even if others have their eyes on me, it’s useless.” Jeremy chuckled.
Natalie’s heart swelled with joy at his words. “Me too. You can rest assured that there are many
people pursuing me, but I don’t fancy any of them. I only have eyes for you, Mr. Hughes!”
“If anyone else pursues you, tell them you’re Mrs. Hughes and order them to scram,” Jeremy
remarked.
coldly.
Seeing that Jeremy was jealous, Natalie giggled mischievously. “I’m just teasing you. I’ve already
announced on my social media that I’m married. Who would dare pursue a married woman?”
Jeremy’s tense expression eased slightly.
After work, Skr was about to go to Pearlhall Residence to keep Gloriapany.
But then, she received a photo sent by an ex–ssmate. That ssmate happened to pass by
Steven’s workce and saw the scene at the entrance.
Christopher was blocking Steven’s way and kneeling down in front of him.
The photo was quite straightforward. She could see Steven’s shock and how Christopher was
humbling
himself.
Skr couldn’t believe that Christopher had gone to pester Steven. She took a deep breath,
gripping the
steering wheel tightly. Then, she made a U–turn decisively.
There was no traffic on the road, so she arrived fairly quickly at the technologypany where
Steven
worked.
At this moment, Steven was looking at Christopher indifferently. They were surrounded by a crowd
who had gathered to see what was going on.
“Help me, Steven. I beg you. Skr and I have been together for so many years. We can’t just end
our rtionship like this,” Christopher pleaded.
He didn’t expect Steven to remain unmoved. He had been talking for almost half an hour while
being surrounded by so many people. In addition, he brought several ssmates to help. They all
urged Steven to help Christopher, but Steven refused to relent.
Steven’s stance was very firm. “You can’t force matters of the heart. You and Skr are no longer
meant to be together. You didn’t cherish her when you had her. It’s toote toe crying now.
“Christopher, no matter what you say or how many people you bring to help you, I will still say the
same thing I won’t agree for Skr to be with you.”
Moreover, Skr was already married. She had arranged for him to meet his brother–inw in a
few more
days.
Having experienced Christopher’s betrayal, Steven decided to give his brother–inw a stern
warning when he met him. He would make it known that he would protect Skr at all costs and not
let her suffer
anymore.
Christopher lowered his head, his eyes filled with malice.
“Don’t be so unsympathetic. Christopher and Skr have been together for so many years. They
were the golden couple back in school. Weren’t they about to get married? They shouldn’t break up
so readily over a trivial matter,” a male ex–ssmate spoke up.
Others also joined in to persuade Steven.
Seeing them guilt–tripping Steven from a moral high ground, Skr couldn’t just stand by any
longer. With brisk steps, she walked over to them.
