Matthew finally agreed after a long pause.
When Natalie found Lothar, she realized that he had brought along a big bag.
It was filled with bottles of coffee.
Natalie estimated there were at least a dozen bottles.
She asked in astonishment, "Why did you bring so much coffee?"
Lothar looked a little embarrassed. "Selina and I would always drink a lot of fluids when we are down, it helps to lighten our spirits."
Natalie was at a loss of words.
She had never heard about coffee lightening people's spirits.
However, since Lothar had put it that way, she guessed that he had his own plan.
Natalie informed him about what happened to Selina in the mall before he went up to see her.
Lothar's expression immediately changed.
He clenched his fists tightly. "How dare those people treat Selina like that? They will pay for their actions!" he swore.
Who did they think they were, how dare they criticize Selina!
Natalie sighed and consoled him, "You should talk to Selina first, besides, Matthew is already searching for them. Don't worry about this."
Lothar was furious.
He finally knew why Matthew held that press conference and why he put all the blame on himself, claiming that it was him who deceived Selina.
It was because Selina had suffered this kind of humiliation!
Selina, the precious daughter of the Whitlock family, had been humiliated in such a way!
Lothar felt a surge of anger and pain.
After a long while, Lothar finally composed himself.
He said to Natalie, "Please bring me to Selina."
Natalie glanced at Lothar. "Have you composed yourself?" she asked.
Lothar took a deep breath. "Don't worry, I'm fine," he assured her.
He even forced out a smile, showing his white teeth. "In order to comfort someone, the comforter must first be in a good mood. Don't worry, I'm okay."
Natalie was taken aback by his change of emotions.
Just a moment ago, he was furious and in pain, but now, he seemed totally fine.
She suddenly understood why Selina always went to Lothar when she was down. Lothar's smile had the ability to make someone feel much better.
She led Lothar up the stairs.
Natalie paused outside Selina's bedroom. "Go on in then," she motioned to him.
Lothar took a deep breath and entered the bedroom.
He paused when he saw Selina.
She lay quietly on the bed but there was a heavy cloud of sadness looming over her.
Lothar found it difficult to breathe.
He felt his heart ache when he saw her like this.
Lothar walked over to her.
He opened his bag and took out the bottles of coffee.
