Chapter 671


    Natalie stared down at her phone. There was a WhatsApp message from Jeremy on the phone. He simply said he could wait.


    The mere phrase "I could wait" felt like a personal usation. It was as if Natalie were a heartless person. She was the one unwilling to face their troubles together.


    Jeremy had been schemed against and was caught in a situation beyond his control. Meanwhile, she was thinking of leaving him while he was suffering.


    Even her mother''s frequent inquiries and concerns felt like a form of supervision, as if she were being monitored to regte her behavior. Soon, they arrived at the event venue.


    Natalie buried her thoughts and doubts deep inside as they exited the car. They were not revealed in the slightest.


    Skr had just finished a call with Joe. They were scheduled to meet at the hospitalter.


    They nned to stay at the hospital with Gloria for dinner.


    She had just clocked out from work. She was about to leave, but someone suddenly stopped her.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    "Skr!" a deep voice called out.


    Skr looked at the person blocking her path. After only two days of peace, someone else hade to confront her. This time, it wasn''t a familiar face.


    It was Amelia.


    Amelia red at Skr with a face full of anger, as if Skr were her enemy.


    She had utterly forgotten who had been taking care of her in the hospital over the years.


    "Skr, should we call a security guard?" a colleague asked.


    Skr shook her head. "You all go ahead. It''s fine."


    Her colleagues said nothing more. They had worked with Skr long enough to understand her. If she said everything was fine, it was likely true. Besides, they were at thepany entrance, so nothing


    serious was likely to happen.


    Once her colleagues had left, Skr turned her full attention to Amelia. Amelia had been silent earlier because Skr seemed unfamiliar to her.


    From their previous encounters at


    the hospital until now, she had never seen Skr like this. Today, Amelia noticed that Skr''s demeanor had changed significantly-seeing her felt like encountering a stranger. A sharp pang of difort struck Amelia, and it was particrly unsettling.

    "Skr, are you ashamed of abandoning my son and afraid to let your colleagues find out? Do you think you can enjoy wealth and. luxury after leaving him? Those men are just treating you like a ything!" Amelia suddenly snapped.


    Christopher had been acting out in the past few days. Since leaving Jipsburg City, he announced that he wasn''ting back.


    Once he returned to Liberty County, he drank heavily every day and fell into a state of deep despair. He kept saying he regretted everything. He imed that Skr was too heartless. He also insulted Maisy, calling her bitch.


    Despite everything, he keptmenting his regret over Skr and drank excessively.


    Amelia couldn''t understand why Christopher was so obsessed with Skr. With his good prospects, he could find any woman he wanted, but she couldn''t understand why he was so fixated on Skr.


    "Finished? If you''re done, you can leave," Skr said.


    Skr always showed respect to her elders. However, with Amelia, politeness didn''t help.


    Amelia''s eyes widened in shock at Skr''s coldness. "What did you say? You want me to leave? Skr, remember how you used to try to please me?


    "Do you think that now you have a new support, you can disregard me and my son? If one day you find yourself abandoned ande to me begging, I won''t give you a chance. Do you believe that?"


    "It''s best to pick a better time for daydreaming," Skr said. She pushed Amelia away.


    Amelia was stunned by the push. She eximed, "You''ll regret this. You will definitely regret it. Do you believe it?"


    Christopher was outstanding, and many people liked him. Skr would regret her decision.
