Chapter 569


    Yvonne nodded, her eyes filled with determination.


    She was fully aware that most of her fans idolized her only because of Jenkins.


    Therefore, she was even more determined to work harder and gain recognition of her own.


    Soon, Yvonne and Penney got into their car. Just then, a ck Mercedes swerved into the carpark.


    The passenger seat''s car window rolled down, revealing Rosalin''s face.


    Yvonne''s window had been left open too.


    Penney''s brows knitted as she frowned, "What does this lunatic want from us? Do you think we


    should ask the driver to go now?"


    Yvonne remained calm, "If we were to leave, she will think that we are afraid of her. I would like to


    hear what she has to say."


    Rosalin''s car pulled close.


    She was staring at Yvonne.


    Yvonne shed her a pretentious grin and greeted her, "Can I help you, Miss Lautner?"


    Rosalin''s face turned red as she hissed, "Don''t call me that! We''re the same age."


    Yvonne pretended to be surprised, "Really? I didn''t know that! I can''t really tell. You look mature, so


    I thought that you were much older than me!"


    Rosaline scoffed.


    She didn''t want to talk about her age. Instead, she went straight to the point and said, "I heard that


    you hooked up with Jenkins."


    Yvonne chuckled, "Do I have to tell you about my private life? We''re practically strangers."


    "You have no idea what you have gotten yourself into, Yvonne. I can''t believe that you''re associating


    yourself with a man like Jenkins."


    "Let me repeat what I''ve just said. I don''t know you, and I don''t have to tell you anything about my


    personal affairs," This time, Yvonne''s voice was colder.


    Rosalin took a deep breath as shemented seriously, "Do you know what happened to Jenkins''s


    ex?"


    Yvonne''s heart almost stopped.


    She was aware that nothing good woulde out of hearing what Rosalin had to say.


    Yet, she wanted to hear it.


    Rosalin stared at her with a mysterious gaze and revealed, "He drove his ex to insanity. She is still


    locked up in a mental hospital somewhere in the


    city."


    Yvonne''s breathing quickened.


    "Maybe next time I will visit you when you''re there too, Yvonne. Though, there are plenty of lunatics


    in there, and I''ll be terribly frightened. I guess there won''t be a next time then," Rosalin grinned.


    Her car sped away as soon as she finished her words.


    Yvonne was left speechless.


    Beside her, Penney was clueless about their conversation.


    She nudged Yvonne with her elbow and asked, "What did she say to you just now?"


    Penney had been working as Yvonne''s manager for so long and knew Yvonne very well. When


    Yvonne first entered the entertainment industry, she was naive and emotional, quickly resorting to


    tears whenever there was a problem. However, she was also quick to adapt to the changes. Soon,


    Yvonne grew stronger and rarely cried in front of her ever since.


    Yvonne was no longer the vulnerable girl she once was.


    However, her conversation with Rosalin earlier managed to render her speechless. Penney was


    curious about what they had been talking about.


    Yvonne came to her senses when she heard Penney calling her name.

    She looked at Penney.


    "It''s nothing."


    Although Penney was her manager, they were also close friends. She did not want Penney to worry


    about her.


    Besides, she was prepared to deal with Jenkins when she decided to use him as her stepping


    stone. It was toote to regret it now.


    She was no longer frail, and she would not break so easily. She was certain that she would not end


    up like his ex.


    Natalie listened attentively as Tobias told her about everything.


    Tobias could not control his feelings.


    He walked over and held her hand in his, muttering gently, "I''m sorry, Natalie. If it wasn''t for that


    misunderstanding, we would''ve..."


    He choked on his words, pain written all over his face.


    Natalie remained silent for a moment.


    Suddenly, she withdrew her hand from his grip.


    Tobias was startled.


    Natalie stared at him calmly and asked, "Do you think that I will forgive you after telling me all this?"


    Tobias was taken aback, "I''m not begging for your forgiveness, Natalie. I just hope that you can


    understand."


    "Understand?" Natalie sneered, "If I told you I understood you and your actions, how about me?


    Who is going to understand my feelings?"


    Her voice quivered as she tried to hold back her tears.


    The tears that she held in for the past four years.


    "Who can understand how I felt when you told me that you wanted a divorce after I happily married


    you?"


    "Who can understand the horror that I felt when you ordered me to abort our unborn baby that I was


    still conceiving?"


    "What about all the pain that I suffered when I fled abroad while being heavily pregnant?"


    "Can you even imagine my despair and hatred when they took my baby away from me and told me


    that he died right after I gave birth?"


    "Do you even understand how much I had suffered throughout those four years when I was


    studying abroad?"


    "No one pitied me when I cried myself to sleep every night for all those years."


    She shot daggers at Tobias and spat, "Imagine if I plunged a knife deep into your heart, fatally


    wounding you. But as I twisted the knife in your chest, I told you that I had made a mistake and


    asked you to understand my actions. Would you do so then?"


    Everything that Tobias had done to her was equivalent to stabbing her right in the heart.


    In fact, she was amazed that she was still alive after going through all this.


    Natalie was not a saint. After suffering so much pain, she could not easily forgive him, nor ignore all


    the hatred she bore towards him just because he said a few nice words.


    Tobias''s expression was grim as he tried to plead, "I had no choice, Natalie."


    He genuinely thought that Natalie was his biological sister at that time, and he had no other choice


    but to leave her.


    It would be wrong not to do so after all.


    Natalie''s face darkened, "How could you be so certain that we were siblings without even doing a


    paternity test first? Or was it because you didn''t really love me that abandoning me and leaving me


    and our unborn child to die was not a big deal?"


    She understood that he had mistaken their rtionship, but he shouldn''t have divorced her


    immediately and forced her to terminate her pregnancy without proper evidence.


    He didn''t even perform a paternity test.


    How could she forgive him after all he had done to her?


    "Yes, it''s my fault," At this point, Tobias'' face was ghostly pale.


    "I know it''s your fault. You don''t have to state the obvious," Natalie snapped.


    Tobias pursed his lips and lowered his head in shame.


    He had never felt so stupid before.


    Why hadn''t he thought of performing a paternity test first? He had blindly believed everything he


    had heard. How could he be so ignorant back then!


    "Please, leave me alone. I need to rest," Natalie could not stand to be near him anymore.


    His face had reminded her of everything that had happened in the past, and it shattered her heart. It


    was agonizing.


    It was only if Tobias left that she would be able to rest in peace.


    "Natalie!" Tobias suddenly hugged her from behind. His voice wavered as he whispered in her ear


    in desperation, "I know how much you have suffered for the past few years, but you are not the only


    one in pain. I suffered too. I was tormented by guilt every day for all those years. Please forgive me.


    I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you."
