Natalie knew what James was like. He would never do such a despicable thing.
Upon arriving at Infinity Plaza, Natalie saw that there were a lot of people on the first floor. They were surrounding James, a fashionably dressed young lady and an older woman.
The two people were pointing at James and scolding him harshly.
"What a piece of trash. How dare you take advantage of my daughter at such an old age? Shame on you!"
"That's right. Look how poor you are. Why are you still taking advantage of me? Why don't you take a good look in the mirror?"
James was surrounded by the crowd and being scolded by two women, and his whole body was shaking.
Natalie rushed in at once.
She held James' hand tightly and asked, "Dad, don't be afraid. What happened?"
After listening to James' explanation, Natalie finally understood what was going on.
James had come here to look for Queenie.
He knew that Queenie liked to visit these high-end shopping malls, so he came here to look for her.
He happened to see the back of this young woman.
She wore revealing clothes similar to that of Queenie's, so James had mistaken her for Queenie.
In a burst of excitement, he stepped forward and grabbed her.
The woman screamed at once, and then went on to complain that James was harrassing her.
"Natalie, I thought that she was Queenie, I thought that she was her," James muttered.
Ever since Madison, Brayden and Queenie had disappeared, James had been a little out of his mind.
Natalie then stepped forward and explained the situation to the mother and daughter.
However, they were so arrogant that they did not believe it at all.
They insisted that James was harassing the girl.
The onlookers around started to criticize Natalie and James one after another.
In this high-end shopping mall, the people who came here were all social elites. Natalie and James' clothes already caused them to stand out, and almost all the onlookers were on the two women's side.
The crowd was abuzz.
"I can accept the old man being immature, but even the young one is like this. How terrible!"
"Like father, like daughter."
"Even if he tried to harass someone, it'd be fine if he just apologized. Instead, he came up with an excuse like this."
Natalie's explanation was drowned out by the various voices of the crowd.
She saw James' face growing paler and paler. She was afraid that he'd have a breakdown.
Ever since James had arrived the day before, she could see that his mental state was not too good.
Natalie pulled at James, and tried to rush out of the crowd, but no matter where she went, she was blocked by people.
Overwhelming shouts of rebuke could be heard all over the place.
Natalie could not take him anywhere.
For a moment, she suddenly felt a sense of despair.
She was completely helpless.
What should she do? What in the world should she
do?
She could not do anything.
Natalie squatted down on the ground, curling up.
"Matthew, if you want to build a business empire, you should take a look at this shopping mall. This is owned by my company. It's quite popular for high-end shopping," Tobias said as he walked into the Infinity Plaza with Matthew.
Tobias and Matthew were both extremely handsome and emanated a mature, masculine charm. Such men would be the focus of the crowd wherever they went.
But this time, no one paid attention to them...
All the people were gathered around Natalie and James.
