Natalie frowned as she stepped aside to avoid Susan’s attack.
With Natalie moving away, Susan grasped at thin air, causing her to lose her balance and fall forward. With her knees crashing to the ground, she cried out in pain as the skin by her kneecaps split open.
Everyone else was stunned.
Regaining their senses, the two solemn-looking officers couldn’t help but burst into laughter. As for the reporters, they were even crueler as they began snapping away at Susan’s pitiful predicament.
Meanwhile, Jasmine stared coldly at Susan, her eyes filled with annoyance and resentment.
She is nothing but a fool.
Not only did she miss hitting Natalie, she even made a fool of herself by falling. What an embarrassment!
Natalie walked toward Susan and looked down at her with an eyebrow raised. “It’s not even Christmas yet and you are already giving me such a huge present by being on your knees. I can’t accept it so please get up.”
Just as she spoke, Natalie reached out her hand, pretending to offer her help to stand.
“I don’t need your help!” Susan slapped her hand away as she endured the pain to stand up by herself.
Right after she got up, Susan’s eyes glistened when she realized Natalie was close enough to her. The very next moment, she hurled her palm forcefully in Natalie’s direction to slap her.
With her pupils contracting, Natalie flinched by reflex.
Although her face avoided Susan’s hand, the slap landed on her shoulder instead.
The crack from the slap was exceptionally loud and crisp.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
Only Jasmine burst into triumphant laughter.
Susan’s slap was so strong that Natalie felt her shoulder burn and it felt terribly painful.
