Chapter 181
James let out a long sigh after he finished speaking.
The waiter served their food on the table. The restaurant was small and the food was not very fresh.
Natalie lost her appetite after looking at it.
Her heart ached after realizing this.
Ever since she lived in the Whitlock family apartment, Natalie''s taste became pickier. These dishes
were once all delicious to Natalie.
She was enjoying life so much in the Whitlock family while her father was working on the
construction site. Natalie felt very ufortable!
She swore that she would have her father enjoy his life as soon as possible and not let him be so
tired again.
After the food was served, Natalie felt worse as James kept passing food to her.
Natalie felt mixed feelings after that meal. Her father then said something.
He said in a guilty tone, "Natalie, I know that your mother and sister have treated you badly. They
called me and said that they were put in prison because of you."
Natalie lost her breath for a moment.
Madison and Queenie called her father. Was this the reason why her father came back?
"Natalie, I know that you have always been kind. It was reasonable even if you let them go to
prison. They must have hit you again."
Natalie''s eyshes fluttered like butterflies after the rain.
James suddenly held Natalie''s hand tightly, "I know your mother is not great, but I have been
working hard to maintain this family. Nothing mattered as long as the home was there. If this home
is broken up, I will have nothing."
James stopped talking and a trace of pain shed in his eyes. "Natalie, let go of your sister and your
mother. No matter how wrong they are, I don''t want this family to break up."
Natalie understood the pain in his eyes.
He knew that Madison and Queenie were cruel to her, and he felt guilty for her. However, he was a
very traditional man and he didn''t want this house to be broken up.

"Natalie, I beg you." The rim of his eyes reddened.
Natalie bit her lower lip tightly.
She did not want to let Madison and Queenie go. Although both Madison and Queenie were rted
by blood to her, she just did not want to let them go. It did not matter whether she was called cruel
or whether she was turning a blind eye towards family, she would not let them go.
However, her father was begging her. How could Natalie bear with it?
Her father was the only family member in the world who loved her. How could she bear to hurt her
father''s heart?
Natalie loosened her clenched teeth. There were deep bite marks on her bright red lips, and faint
bloodstains were on them.
"Dad, I promise you that I will find a way to get Madison and Queenie out from prison." Natalie''s
tone sounded calm with no emotions.
James''s eyes shed aplicated emotion. He sighed and nodded.
After chatting with her father, James sent Natalie back to school.
When they were at the entrance, he said to Natalie in a serious tone, "Natalie, I heard that you are
no longer living at home. I support you. You have endured enough in that house. As long as you are
fine, you can do whatever you want. Your mother has never been kind to you. You can go as far
away as you want."
Natalie nodded heavily.
When he left, he ced a box of cake in Natalie''s hands.
"Natalie, this was your favorite since you were a kid. I bought it for you as soon as I came back."
James looked at her with loving eyes.
In her hands was the box of filling-stuffed cake from her father. Natalie was slightly stunned.
This was her favorite cake when she was a child. Unfortunately, she had no money and could not
afford it back then. She could only buy it when her father came back.
After giving Natalie the cake, he was about to leave. Natalie was sad at the sight of how James was
slightly hunched from afar.
As soon as Natalie returned to the ssroom, Kimberly ran to Natalie.
"Natalie, who did you just meet?" Kimberly''s face was full of mockery.
Natalie nced at Kimberly and had no intentions of talking to her.
Ever since Kimberly lost their argument thest round, she somewhat learned her lesson. She
dared not cause any trouble to Natalie. Natalie never expected her to appear at this time.
"Natalie, I saw you meeting a man at the school gate. I heard he is your father," Kimberly sneered.
Natalie looked at Kimberly unhappily and said, "It was my dad. Do you have any problem with that?"
Kimberly''s voice suddenly became louder, "Did you guys hear that? Natalie met her father at the
school gate just now. You haven''t seen Natalie''s father. He''s dressed in rags and is full of wrinkles,
just like a construction worker on the street. In fact, he looked just like the garbage collector. Shame
on us for having a student with a father like himing to the entrance of our Agaphen University!"
"p!"
A clear p sounded.
Bright red fingerprints immediately appeared on Kimberly''s face. She looked at Natalie in disbelief.
"Natalie, how dare you hit me!" Kimberly''s face was full of shock.
She was the daughter of the Campbell family. No one dared to hit her.
Who did this Natalie think she was? How dare she hit her!
"Yes, I did!1'' Natalie stared at Kimberly with her crystal clear eyes. Her eyes were glistening.
She raised her voice and said, "Kimberly, you''re right. My father is not like a construction worker. He
is a construction worker, but he is the most qualified father in the world. He works hard at the
construction site to feed his family. His face is wrinkled because he has to work under harsh
circumstances every day. He contributed all his money to his home. That''s why he has to wear rags.
I don''t feel ashamed to have such a father. On the contrary, I feel proud of him. Anyone who is his
daughter should be proud of him. Who are you to even insult my father?"
"You, you despicable poor woman. Get out of Agaphen University with your poor dad!" Kimberly
was going to beat Natalie up after seeing how arrogant she was.
However, Natalie was not that meek so she pushed Kimberly.
She went all out to do so.
Kimberly was usually a delicate youngdy who did not even need to wash her own dishes. Natalie
worked hard since she was a child. Kimberly was no match for Natalie.
Kimberly immediately fell to the ground from Natalie''s push.
Natalie''s eyes actually had a hint of viciousness. "I''m warning you, Kimberly. You can insult me. I
will only break into an argument with you. However, if you dare to insult my father, I won''t hold
back!"
Ever since she had known her, this was the first time Kimberly had seen such a fierce gaze from
Natalie. She was shocked for a moment.
It was not until Kimberly''s posse helped her get up.
Kimberly then pointed at Natalie and said, "Natalie, remember how you have embarrassed me
today. I won''t ever let you go."
After that, Kimberly cried and ran away.
In the afternoon, Natalie returned to the Whitlock family apartment with mixed feelings .
To her surprise, she found something.
