Chapter 451


    Feigning nonchnce, Natasha looked up at him. “What''s the matter? Do you not know about this?”


    “About what?”


    Natasha curled her lips into a sneer. “It seems that you are not aware of all the news.”


    Boss narrowed his eyes at her.


    Natasha deliberately pretended to be in a dilemma, knitting her delicate brows and arranging her


    gorgeous facial features into a mischievous look. “Let''s put it this way. Keh is my ex-husband.”


    A surprised look shed across Boss'' face.


    Natasha continued having her meal and said casually, “I married him a few years ago, but he was such


    a jerk, so we filed for a divorce.”


    Taking in her unconcerned demeanor, Boss could not help but feel curious despite enduring the


    unbearable pain in his chest. “That''s it?”


    “That''s right.” Natasha nodded. “That''s it.”


    Boss looked at her in utter perplexity.


    “Perhaps I was too ugly a few years ago, so he disliked me, but now”—Natasha let out a chuckle—“I


    suppose all men judge women by their appearance. Nevertheless, I don''t care about such a superficial


    rtionship.”


    “Ugly?” Boss regarded her with a confused look.


    Although Boss spent most of his time abroad, his perception of female beauty was not affected by the


    foreign girls'' appearances. In his opinion, Natasha was one of the most beautiful women he had seen.


    A woman as charming as her was difficult to be found even in the entertainment industry, so her self-


    description of being ugly baffled him.


    Natasha contemted briefly before saying, “Maybe I was not skilled in preening myself in the past, so


    I was slightly uglier, I think?” Up until that moment, she did not feel that she was hideous. Instead, she


    found it highly tedious because she had to spend a lot of time and effort primping herself. However, she


    had made it a habit under Denise''s constant reminders.


    Still, Boss remained unconvinced. How ugly can someone like her be even without dolling herself up?


    She''s not wearing any makeup at the moment, yet she still looks as captivating as ever. Her tender skin


    is so fair, and her beauty has a natural elegance. She''s so mesmerizing that I find it hard to take my


    eyes off her.


    “So, are you saying you don''t love him?” Boss asked.


    “Love?” Natasha frowned. “I did love him.”


    “How about now?”


    “I don''t love him anymore the moment we divorced.”


    “Can one''s feelings be manipted so easily?”


    “One''s feelings may not be easily manipted, but there is only so much hurt and disappointment


    one''s heart can sustain. Why should I continue loving someone who used to disdain me?” Natasha


    reverted the question to him.


    Boss stared at her, seemingly doubtful about what she said.


    A few momentster, he grinned. “If you don''t love him anymore, why are you two still entangled? I can


    see that he''s willing to sacrifice his life for your sake.”


    Natasha''s heart shuddered instantaneously. She did not know what interactions between her and


    Keh prompted Boss toe up with such a conclusion. Nheless, the only thing she could do


    at that moment was to act as if she could not care less.


    “That''s right. He resorted to all kinds of methods to ditch me in the past. And now, he can do the same


    to possess me.”


    Listening to her tone, Boss thought Natasha was genuinely uninterested in Keh. “In that case,


    should I help you kill him?”


    Natasha was taken aback as she looked at him in silence.


    “What''s the matter? Is your heart aching for him?” Boss chirped. Even though his lips were turning


    paler and his face a sickly shade, he continued to endure the agony. His yellow pupils gleamed as if


    they could read someone else''s mind.


    “If you wish to kill him, do it. Don''t drag me into this and use me as an excuse. I''m not someone who


    would lose myself in a rtionship. Keh Hamilton is not the only man avable on this earth. My


    only wish is for us to separate on good terms.”


    “You''ve said so much, but you''re still unwilling to see him dead, right?” Boss uttered firmly.


    “If that''s how you perceive this matter, there''s nothing I can say to change your mind.” Natasha

    remained indifferent as if she was genuinely apathetic about Keh.


    “I investigated you and Keh when I was in Glenport City, and things were different from the way


    you describe it now.”


    “What did you find out, then?”


    “Keh is willing to sacrifice his life for you.”


    Natasha smiled. “Is that so?”


    “What do you think?”


    Natasha nodded gracefully. “Perhaps that is true. Men are always chasing after things they cannot


    have. They have the courage to do anything in the process, but once they achieve their goal, they still


    won''t appreciate what they own. Still, are you sure Keh would do so? Is he truly willing to sacrifice


    his life, or is that just an act to garner pity to acquire the favor of someone he cannot have? Do you


    really understand him?”


    Boss gazed at her in silence.


    “I know Keh way better than you do. He may appear loyal, but that is just a facade for the public to


    see. He''s very adept at putting up a pretense,” she said.


    “But there are things that cannot be faked.”


    “It is not that he cannot fake it. It is you who are afraid of believing him.”


    Complicated emotions glinted in Boss'' eyes.


    “I don''t know what happened between you and Keh, but I advise you not to trust him easily,”


    Natasha said with a smile.


    Despite how convincing she sounded, at that moment, Boss failed to discern who was the one putting


    on a show in front of him.


    Suddenly, pain erupted in the wound on his chest. He clutched his chest and continued to stare at her


    pensively.


    A few secondster, the doctor arrived.


    Boss'' subordinate walked up to him. “Boss, the doctor is here. Let him treat your wound first.”


    Boss stayed still and did not respond.


    “You''ll end up losing too much blood and affect our subsequent n,” his subordinate reminded him.


    Upon hearing that, Boss regained his senses.


    His subordinate hastily moved forward to check his wound. Boss remained seated opposite Natasha,


    seemingly challenging her with his eyes.


    Then, the doctor piped up, “The wound is quite deep. We''ll have to find a ce for you to lie down


    before we disinfect the wound and apply the stitches. Otherwise, you might go into shock due to heavy


    blood loss.”


    “Boss...”


    “Let''s go back to the room,” Boss suddenly said.


    His subordinate immediately stepped forward to help him up.


    Boss looked away and stood up unsteadily to leave. At that moment, gazing at his leaving figure from


    behind while supporting her chin with one hand, Natasha said, “Will your wound affect our schedule


    two dayster?”


    Boss looked at her and noticed she was wearing a faint smile as if everything that had happened had


    nothing to do with her.
