Chapter 282 He’s Toying With Her

Jared thought, ‘How long are those two going to keep messing around over there?

‘It’s just a swing.

‘Does Nicolas really have to spend all that time teaching her?’

He remembered how countless women had thrown themselves at Nicolas before, begging for a lesson, but Nicolas never even bothered to look their way.

Jared thought, ‘So why is he suddenly so attentive now that Natasha’s here?

‘Could it be…

‘Is Nicolas into Natasha as well?’

Jared’s eyes narrowed suspiciously.

A possibility quickly crossed his mind.

His dark gaze lingered on how close Nicolas and Natasha were standing, almost too close for comfort.

His brows furrowed even more.

A sudden wave of irritation washed over him, for reasons he couldn’t quite explain.

Jared had been doing everything he could to hold himself back.

He made himself look away from her.

He tried not to give a damn about her.

He told himself to ignore her completely.

But now, he felt like all that self-control was slipping away.

Jared’s face was dark and stormy.

His lips were pressed into a thin, tight line.

He gave off a gloomy, almost suffocating vibe.

“Mr. Milford, the lady you brought today is stunning and has real class. Honestly, she’s a huge step up from your previous girlfriends, someone said.

Someone finally noticed Natasha and couldn’t help but compliment Nicolas with a big smile.

Natasha thought Nicolas would clear things up and say she was his assistant, not his girlfriend.

But to her surprise, he didn’t even bother to explain.

Instead, he flashed a wicked grin. “You’ve got good taste.”

Natasha was stunned, staring at him in disbelief.

With that, he pretty much made it official that she was his new girlfriend now.

The guy was delighted that he’d managed to flatter Nicolas, and his face lit up with satisfaction as he kept the conversation going.

He continued on the same topic, eager to stay in Nicolas’s good graces.

“Mr. Milford, you and this lady really are the perfect couple, talented and beautiful, honestly, you two are made for each other…” he gushed.

Natasha could almost see cartoonish black lines forming on her forehead, she was seriously speechless at this situation. ‘If this guy knew Nicolas was actually my ex-brother-in-law, I wonder what kind of face he’d make, Natasha thought.

“There’s a charity fundraiser in a few days. I hope you’ll bring this lovely lady with you,” the man said.

He seized the moment to put in his ask.

Nicolas wasn’t really interested in these charity fundraisers.

But today, he was in a great mood.

Successfully unlocked!

Since the guy was sharp enough to suggest N.

ppily agreed on the spot.

Natasha had expected him to say no, but was totally caught off guard when he actually agreed.

She couldn’t help but turn to him, shooting him a stunned look.

then, Jared walked over, his tall frame catching everyone’s attention.

The guy quickly jumped in to invite him. “Mr. Rundell, there’s a charity fundraiser coming up in a few days. Hope you can make it. We’d really love to see you there.”

Since it was all about raising money, Jared was absolutely indispensable.

If he could secure both Nicolas and Jared, the fundraising would be a sure thing.

Jared didn’t say a word.

His intense gaze swept past everyone else and locked onto Natasha.

Then, Natasha was looking right back at him.

Their eyes met, and neither of them could look away.

The guy waited for a while, but Jared didn’t say a word.

Instead, he noticed Jared was staring straight at Natasha, not even bothering to hide it.

He instantly understood what Jared meant.

“Mr. Milford agreed to bring this lady along,” the man added.

Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, Jared blurted out, “Sure.”

He hadn’t expected Jared to agree so quickly.

The guy thanked them profusely and left.

Nicolas strolled over with a half-smirk, teasing, “Jared, you usually avoid these charity gigs. What made you decide to show up this time?”

“Suddenly, I like them,” Jared replied, his lips curling into a mysterious smile.

“Catch you at the charity gala.” Jared said.

With that, he gave Natasha a lingering, knowing glance, one that said more than words, then strode away without another word.

Natasha stood there, stunned, not sure what to do next.

‘Why did Jared look at me like that? It felt like he was trying to tell me something, Natasha thought.

The next evening, Natasha had stayed late at work.

By the time she headed down to the underground garage to get her car, it was already pretty late.

as Natasha was about to open her car door, a sudden, forceful movement came at her out of nowhere.

It happened so fast, Natasha was caught completely off guard.

Five angry red finger marks bloomed across her cheek.

Her cheek stung with a fiery pain.

“You bitch!” Joelle screamed, her voice dripping with venom.

Joelle suddenly appeared out of nowhere, her face twisted with rage, like she wanted to devour Natasha alive right then and there.

Natasha narrowed her eyes, sizing up Joelle, who looked like a total shrew right now.

Without a word, Natasha raised her hand and slapped Joelle right back across the face.

Joelle clutched her swollen right cheek, staring at Natasha in utter disbelief.

“You shameless homewrecker, going after my husband, and now you actually dare to hit your own sister?” Joelle screamed, her voice trembling with fury.

Natasha’s brows furrowed tightly, her expression darkening.

“When did I ever go after your husband?” Natasha retorted.

Joelle, fuming, pulled out a stack of photos from her purse and slammed them right in Natasha’s face.

“Look at these!” Joelle spat, her voice shaking with anger.

Natasha grabbed the photos, flipping through them one by one, her heart pounding in her chest.

Every shot showed Nicolas personally teaching her how to swing at the golf club that day, every moment caught on c

Even back then, Natasha had felt they were standing a little too close for comfort.

Now that she saw the photos, it was clear that they were definitely too close.

Natasha thought, ‘No wonder Joelle is so worked up.

‘How dare she question me right now?’

“I don’t owe you any explanation,” Natasha said coldly, her voice icy and unyielding.

She wasn’t about to waste her breath on Joelle.

“You’ll sleep with anyone!” Joelle screamed.
