Chapter 539
How long could she hold her breath, though? She had already started to wonder whether he was
genuinely asking her to work together, or if he just wanted to trouble her.
Just when she was falling into despair, thepartment door was thrown open with a loud crash,
causing the three of them to look in the direction of the sound in surprise.
When she saw the man at the door, Kate suddenly felt strangely wronged and tears began to fall from
her eyes uncontrobly. She couldn''t describe what she felt at that moment. There was
embarrassment, relief, and gratefulness, but she clearly knew that they were very different from each
other, and they would not cross paths at all. Why did it have to be him?
Did she not want to see him? That wasn''t it. Was she unhappy that he came to save her? Of course
not. She just hated that she was not carefree and decisive enough to be able to forget about him once
and for all, and to not feel her heart waver whenever she saw him. The conflict in her emotions made
her crouch down and sob bitterly.
President Cook raised his eyebrows sharply. "Who are you?"
Nathan''s expression was dark, as though there were a stormy cloud hanging over his head, and a
violent aura emanated off his body as he walked in without saying a word. When he passed the dining
table, he picked up the chair on the ground and walked toward President Cook, who backed away in
fright at the sight. "W-What are you trying to do?"
The bodyguard next to him hurriedly stepped forward, but before he could fight back, the chair in
Nathan''s hand had fallen to whack the bodyguard directly on the head.
When he saw how ruthless Nathan was, Howard Cook was immediately frightened. These days, a man
who acted with his fists without caring about the consequences was clearly someone whom he had to
avoid. He ran hastily in terror toward the door along the other side of the table.
On the other hand, Nathan was much more decisive and reckless. Not to mention, he was also
powerful. Without thinking twice, he picked up another chair and threw it toward Howard. The chair hit
the ground with a crash, making a harsh noise. This time, however, Howard was prepared and
managed to dodge the hit. Still, he was even more frightened and quickened his footsteps.
Right when Howard had reached the door, Nathan also rushed over at the same time. He stretched out
with his hand and dragged Howard back from the door of thepartment in the same way that
Howard had grabbed Kate. The door mmed loudly as Nathan shut it with his foot.

At this time, the bodyguard had already recovered from getting mmed by the chair. Seeing that
Howard was restrained by Nathan, he swayed up to his feet and took a leaf out of Nathan''s book,
throwing a chair at him as well.
At the door, Gwen yelled in fright, "Nate, watch out!"
When Nathan subconsciously looked back and saw that the chair was about to hit him, he raised his
hand to block it. As soon as he was about to fight back, he heard the sound of a bottle breaking. At the
source of the noise, he saw that there was a woman holding a half-broken beer bottle, her face pale
and her body trembling.
The bodyguard was instantly befuddled by the beer bottle that Kate had struck him with. The severe
pain, apanied by the beer trickling down his face, made him feel like he had been spinning around
on the spot for hundreds of times. In less than three seconds, he was finally overwhelmed and fell to
the ground. Right before he fainted, he even thought that these two people were cruel.
Ignoring Gwen, Nathan looked at Kate in shock. He didn''t expect that Kate would be able to be as
ruthless as him and it seemed that she had done it in an attempt to save him. Strangely enough , his
spirits lifted at that thought.
At that moment, Gwen ran inside. "Nate, are you okay? Does your arm hurt?"
Saying that, she kicked the bodyguard who had already fallen unconscious on the ground and scolded,
"How dare you! How dare you hit Nate!"
