Chapter 185 I Dare You to Hurt Her
Undoubtedly, Reuben was good at drawing everyone's attention.
His words stunned everyone present.
He mentioned a disease that sounded terrible and filled the people with fear. They felt Natalie would die anytime.
The host of her body suffered from the disease, and Natalie learned it from Owen. Her mother didn't protect her well during pregnancy, so she had aortic stenosis, but it was not serious and wouldn't affect her daily life.
Of course, it didn't matter much for ordinary people.
For such a wealthy family as the Ramsey family, the women who married into the family should have excellent and flawless genes, lest the next generation would be affected.
Seth was choosing his heir at the moment.
Reuben suddenly brought this up.
His purpose was self-explanatory.
Natalie looked up at Reuben and Melvin calmly and sneered quietly. Sure enough, everyone got smart in the fight for the best benefits. They were well aware of what Seth cared about the most, and they knew where to start.
At this moment, she calmed down.
She suddenly felt greatly relieved.
She had been hiding this from Kendrick for days. She was in a dilemma, wondering how she would explain her condition honestly to Kendrick.
After all, it was not only a matter of her own health.
And this was not something only concerning the two of them.
She was married to the top wealthy family.
So, she needed to consider the health of her children.
Fortunately, she didn't have to worry about that now because Reuben had told the Ramsey family everything.
Natalie wanted to bow to Reuben at this moment and expressed her gratitude.
She couldn't feel his affection for her at all. Instead, he did everything to corner her and even wished to kill her.
Natalie believed that Reuben would not hesitate to trample on her if she was abandoned by the Ramsey family today.
Why did he do that?
She just cut her ties with him.
He failed in his investment because he was greedy and selfish. She didn't even make any moves to deal with him.
What a heartless man!
Kendrick turned pale at Reuben's revelation, and he looked colder in the light. He turned to look at Natalie with difficulty.
Was this what she had been keeping from him?
Was she afraid?
He didn't know why.
Was she afraid that he would detest her after he found out he was deceived?
After all, her physical checkup report showed she was in good health when they got engaged.
Kendrick was struggling inside at this moment. He wished to slap himself for threatening her a few days ago. He had frightened her, so she didn't dare to tell him about it and turned to someone else secretly for the medicine.
Natalie broke the silence and said slowly, "To put it accurately, aortic stenosis is caused by external factors such as the medicines taken during pregnancy, viruses, pollution, and radiation. But the problem is minor and doesn't affect one's work, study, and daily activities."
Natalie gave a brief introduction to the disease.
She didn't allow Reuben to fool everyone in front of her.
No matter what, she was a genius. Although she was not adored, she was well respected. Everyone greeted her respectfully.
But now, she was an insignificant wife in a wealthy family. Why did she have to lie low and please everyone?
Natalie picked up the cup on the table and tossed it to the ground, making a loud sound.
"You don't have to tell me this!" She raised her eyebrow and said icily, "Who are you to teach me what I should do?"
Natalie sneered and continued, "Do you care about my children? Why don't you do something good for your child? If he knows that his father is a nasty man when he grows up, he will be ashamed. He won't dare to make friends, nor will he dare to express his love for the girls. He doesn't know who his mother is. He will feel embarrassed because his father sucks. What's the meaning of his life?"
Natalie ridiculed Melvin fearlessly.
She was not afraid to take the challenge.
Her words hit home. Enraged, Melvin tossed a cup at Natalie violently. Kendrick quickly protected her, and the cup hit his back. His navy blue coat got wet, and the cup shattered on the ground.
Kendrick felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, but he only frowned slightly.
The tension in the air was intense.
Melvin was fuming with anger.
He was determined to teach Natalie a good lesson today.
This scheming woman had brought him ill luck recently. The woman he fancied was sent to prison by Natalie, and Seth detested him. The board of directors was a group of fence sitters who took Kendrick's side.
Melvin wouldn't tolerate it.
He rolled up his sleeves and dashed at Natalie to hit her.
Before he moved, a dark muzzle pressed against his waist.
It was an M1911 11.43 mm pistol with the safety off.
Kendrick raised his eyebrow and said in a steady but menacing voice, "I dare you to hurt her."
