"Hey, little girl, what are you trying to do?" Their fake facade was slowly coming off as the presidents were now talking to her in a threatening tone.
Natalie was not a pushover. In front of these powerful men, she didn't show any fear on her face.
"What do you think I'm going to do? Now that Tobias is drunk, you guys can't resume your business negotiations anymore. I'm taking him with me!" Natalie's voice was unusually loud.
"Mr. Whitlock has a few bombshells accompany him right now. Why don't you let him have some fun?"
Natalie retorted sarcastically, "I can accompany him. He doesn't need anyone else!"
"Why are you so insensible? Don't think that you are special just because Mr. Whitlock brought you along with him. You are just one of Mr. Whitlock's lovers, so why are you taking his fake love so seriously? You have to know your place."
Natalie chuckled as she retorted, "Know my place? Didn't Tobias tell you when we first came in? I am his wife! His wife is taking him home, yet you guys have the nerve to stop her!"
Her voice was not loud, but it was somehow infused with a deterrent force.
If Natalie was Tobias' wife, these people naturally would not dare to stop her, but no one would believe that this little girl in front of them was Tobias' wife. At most, she was just his mere lover.
"Mr. Whitlock is just coaxing you with some pretty words, yet you are really taking it seriously? Do you really think you are Mr. Whitlock's wife?" One of the presidents replied with irony in his voice.
When Natalie saw that one of the women was going to unbutton Tobias' shirt, her heart was racing fast.
Tobias might end up getting devoured by these lascivious women if Natalie continued to argue with the presidents here. She pushed the men away and stomped towards the sofa.
"Get out of my way. Tobias is my man. Don't you dare touch him!" Natalie glared at the women.
When Natalie had finished speaking, Tobias pursed his lips slightly. No one noticed it.
Since they had all shown their true colors and made their stance clear, she had no fear anymore.
Seeing that Tobias was already drunk, they could finally succeed in their plans. Natalie was an obstacle they had to eliminate.
"You should listen when we are talking to you nicely. If you continue your nonsense, don't blame us for what we are about to do next!" One of the presidents threatened.
"How dare you!" Natalie shot a glare at them while retorting, "In the end, I am Tobias' wife. If you dare to do anything to me, do you think Tobias will let you off the hook?"
The man who had just threatened Natalie let out a chuckle as he replied, "You do think that you're that important to him, don't you? Do you actually think that you are Tobias' wife? Tobias will never fall out with us. You should leave for your own good."
The man schemed if Natalie still didn't want to leave, he would demand someone drag her away.
On the other hand, Natalie's mind was racing. She noticed the impatient and murderous look on the person's face in front of her. If she continued to argue with him, they might throw her out. She had to come up with a plan.
Natalie was confident that they dared to treat her like this because they were sure that she was not Tobias' wife. If they knew the truth, these people would never dare to stir up trouble.
"You don't believe me, do you?" Natalie looked at them before making a call on her phone. "Hello, Aunt Lee?"
"Miss Godfrey, It's me." Aunt Lee's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm in the rose suite on the eighth floor of the Jaydama Hotel. Please send me my marriage certificate with Tobias. It's in a cabinet beside our bed on the third floor. Please hurry."
After finishing her words, Natalie hung up the phone. She cast a smirk at the crowd in front of her proudly, as if she was saying, "Just wait and see."
At that moment, the presidents were dumbfounded. They didn't believe that Natalie was the real deal. However, when they saw her acting like this and recalled her phone call earlier, they suddenly doubted themselves. One of them winked at one of the other presidents as he motioned him, "Come here."
