Chapter 21 Who Are You Trying to Seduce?


    Some people were already whispering, "Who''s that? She is beautiful!"


    "I don''t know, I guess she should be a guest invited by the Dawson family!"


    When Natalia left the Dawson family five years ago, she was still young, and because she had spent


    most of her time studying, very few people had seen her.


    So now when she had reappeared, no one even recognized her.


    Others didn''t recognize her, but Jessica did.


    At this moment, she was surrounded by a group of people, and when she saw the woman walking in


    from the doorway, she couldn''t help but freeze for a moment.


    Was that Natalia?


    In her impression, Natalia would always be wearing a smart professional outfit or a normal casual outfit.


    Clean as it was, its in and humdrum style clouded Natalia''s femininity that Natalia looked somewhat


    dull.


    And she wasn''t much of a makeup person, much less a regr hairdresser. She had kept the typical


    long straight jet-ck hair, looking lifeless and old for her age.


    With dresses like that, she might stand out among the ordinary working girls.


    But she was indeed too unimpressive to be ced in a crowd of famousdies who gussied up on a


    daily basis.


    Yet, such an ordinary person was stunning today, as if an angel had descended.


    She couldn''t help but clench her fists fiercely.


    The girls who gathered around her asked curiously, "Jessica, who is she? She is gorgeous, is she one


    of the guests you have invited?"


    "Is she a celebrity?"


    "I don''t think so. If she is a celebrity, she should be famous with her face. We would have recognized


    her."


    The voices in her ears were like steel needles, sticking into Jessica''s heart one by one.


    She gritted her teeth darkly for a moment before taking a deep breath.


    "Don''t you guys know her? That''s my sister Natalia!"


    "What!"


    "How could it be her?"


    The people around her had surprised looks on their faces.


    Jessica smiled gently, "It''s normal you guys didn''t recognize her, after all, her appearance did change a


    bit from five years ago. In fact, if I didn''t see her before, I wouldn''t have believed it would be her!"


    There was something in her words, and someone immediately realized it.


    "You mean, your sister had a facelift?"


    "No wonder, I used to feel she looked quite ordinary, howe she''s be so pretty now!"


    "Tsk! I guess the scandal five years ago was so widespread that she went to change her face for fear of


    people recognizing her and throwing rotten eggs at her if she continued to wear that face!"


    "That makes sense."


    Jessica made a face.


    "Don''t say my sister like that, it wasn''t her fault five years ago."


    "Jessica, you''re too nice to her. If it were not for that she stole your work you wouldn''t have missed out


    on a ce at the Royal Academy."


    "That''s right, and she went unscathed. She fled abroad to dodge the column and it seemed toe to


    an end, but what about you? You had been sad for a long time. Who''s going to pay for your losses?"


    "I think she may target you again this time. Jessica, you have to be careful!"


    The group of people murmured, and Jessica whispered to discourage them, but a smirk of triumph


    shed across her eyes.


    On the other side, Natalia walked up to ra.


    "You are herete."


    Philip frowned unhappily.


    Natalia nced at him coldly and said in a cold voice.


    "I''ve done you the honor ofing, Mr. Philip."


    "You--"


    Angered by her condescending look, Philip swept his gaze over the gown she was wearing and chided


    angrily.


    "What are you wearing? Today is Jessica''s birthday party, not yours! Who are you trying to seduce by


    dressing like that?"


    Natalia looked at him, with a suggestion of astonishment in her eyes.


    Even though she already knew her father didn''t love her, she didn''t expect he would hate her to such


    an extent.


    Was that the words a father would say?


    Her heart was chilled for a moment, but there was nd expression on her face.


    "It''s not your turn to tell me what I should wear!"


    "You--"

    "Enough."


    As a dignified voice rang out, ra suddenly spoke out to interrupt him.


    She beckoned a waiter, had him bring a ss of wine and handed it to Natalia, and said in a deep


    voice, "It''s shameful for a family to bicker in public. Shut up now!"


    Philip was a bit disgruntled and wanted to say something, but was red at by ra.


    The rest of the words were swallowed back.


    A faint sneer of satisfaction crossed Natalia''s face. The waiter served her a very light cocktail with the


    aroma of alcohol that smelled fiercely inviting.


    ra nced at her, with her gaze pausing on the ss of wine for a moment, and said, "Your god-


    grandmother is here. You should exin to her things about you and Mr. Shawn!"


    "What do you want me to say?"


    "Say that you and Mr. Shawn broke up a long time ago because of a personality shes, and it has


    nothing to do with Jessica."


    Natalia smiled in a sneering manner and agreed readily, "Okay."


    ra nodded in satisfaction and suddenly lifted her ss and clinked hers.


    "I''m sorry for that, but don''t worry, I''ll remember all your merits and willpensate youter."


    Natalia raised her eyebrow, surprised by her attitude.


    However, she didn''t think much of it, and only assumed that ra had begged her, so she deliberately


    said these words. She happened to be thirsty, so she lifted her cup and took a sip.


    After finishing her drink, ra led her towards where Elisa was.


    Elisa had actually seen Natalia a long time ago; after all, she hade today to find her.


    After not seeing each other for five years, the moment she saw Natalia, she realized that the little girl


    with a artless and shy face back then had long since grown up.


    That cool and mboyant aura was exactly like her mother, as if the deceased had been reborn.


    The olddy was so excited that she couldn''t wait to have someone help her to them wobbly before


    they approached her.


    "Natalia! It''s really you!"


    Seeing this, Natalia hurriedly took a few quick steps to hold her up.


    "Grandma."


    "When did you get back? Why didn''t youe to see me?"


    Elisa''s eyes that had been calm were so excited that they were red, and Natalia was also a little


    moved.


    "I''m sorry I haven''t been able to visit you, how are you?"


    "Good, I''m fine."


    The incident that had happened five years ago left a scar in Natalia''s heart, so she hadn''t contacted too


    many people when she returned home two years ago.


    Elisa seemed to understand her plight and patted her hand,forting her by saying, "It''s all in the


    past, it''s good to have you back."


    ra stepped forward and smiled.


    "Old Lady, Natalia has something to tell you."


    She said, giving Natalia a warning nce.


    Natalia smiled lightly in mockery, "What''s the rush? I''ll naturally tell my god-grandmother about what


    Grandma taught me, so can''t we just catch up first?"
