Chapter 283 Charity Fundraiser

Chapter 283 Charity Fundraiser

Natasha was about to run straight into the car.

She was seconds away from being run over by the wheels.

Right at the last second, someone yanked her arm and dragged her back hard.

“Are you okay?”

When Natasha heard that familjar, worried voice, she suddenly snapped out of her daze.

It was Nicolas who had saved her.

Just moments ago, Joelle had nearly shoved her right into the path of the car. She could’ve been killed.

No matter what, they were still half-sisters.

Natasha never thought Joelle could hate her so much, like she actually wanted her dead.

“I’m fine, thank you,” Natasha said, shaking her head as she thanked him.

Natasha was still in shock from what had happened.

She was shaking, her legs so weak she could barely stay upright.

At that moment, she let Nicolas hold her, not even thinking to pull away.

When Joelle saw this, it was like she’d been deeply provoked.

Her eyes were bloodshot, her face twisted with rage.

She pointed at Natasha and yelled angrily, “Let go of my husband.”

Natasha froze, only then realizing she was still in Nicolas’s arms.

She quickly pulled away, her face burning with embarrassment.

But Joelle wasn’t about to let it go.

In her mind, Natasha was acting all helpless, trying to get Nicolas to play the hero for her.

Honestly, she was pretending to be weak to lure her ex.

Seething with anger, Joelle raised her hand, ready to slap Natasha again.

But someone caught her arm in midair.

“Have you had enough of making a scene?” Nicolas said, his face dark as he glared at her.

Nicolas’s face was stormy as he stared her down.

Joelle’s lips quivered.

She stared at him, completely in shock.

“Making a scene? How am I making a scene? You two are hiding something shady behind my back, aren’t you?” “be honest, when did it start? Were you already messing around before Nicolas and I even got divorced?”

Her emotions spiraled out of control, her voice suddenly rising to a hysterical shriek.

“I already told you, there’s nothing going on between me and Nicolas,” Natasha couldn’t help but defend herself.

But Joelle was furious, not hearing a thing Natasha said.

“You have the nerve to say you’re innocent? If you’re so innocent, why did you go straight to work for him as soon as you got out?”

In her eyes, Natasha could’ve chosen any company out there, but she quit her job to join Nicolas’s company.

She was clearly trying to hook up with her ex.

For all Joelle knew, Natasha might’ve already started messing around with Nicolas even when she was still married to him.

Joelle always knew Natasha was jealous of her.

Natasha was jealous that she was always the one their parents liked best, ever since they were kids.

Natasha was jealous that she landed a better r

So Natasha would stop at nothing to steal ever,

Joelle thought bitterly, ‘Natasha could never take away the love my parents gave me.

Chapter 283 Charity Fundraiser

‘So she went after my wealthy husband instead, Joelle seethed.

Natasha’s brows furrowed in frustration.

She really didn’t want to get into it with Joelle.

But with Joelle going this far, Natasha couldn’t stay quiet anymore.

“I don’t want to argue with you, but don’t pretend you don’t know why I ended up working at the Milford Group.

“If you hadn’t pushed our parents to marry me off to Nelson, and then teamed up with Harley to blacklist me so every company shut their doors on me, do you really think I’d have ended up like this?”

Joelle was left speechless.

Joelle thought, ‘I can’t deny it. I was secretly thrilled when our parents and Harley tried to marry Natasha off to that old guy

Nelson.

‘I was secretly laughing at Natasha, thinking this was the end for her.

‘She lost her job and was about to be stuck taking care of Nelson.

‘All I had to do was wait for Natasha to be completely cornered, then I’d go in for the kill.’

But no matter how much she schemed, Joelle never imagined Natasha would end up working at the Milford Group, relying on Nicolas for support.

‘Isn’t this shooting myself in the foot?’ Joelle thought bitterly.

If word got out about Natasha and Nicolas, people would laugh at her.

She’d end up being the butt of everyone’s jokes all over again.

Joelle screamed, “Natasha, you shameless little bitch. You did something so disgraceful, and now you don’t even have the guts to admit it?

“I’m going to rip you to shreds!”

Joelle was fuming, with nowhere to vent her anger.

She lunged at Natasha again, ready to go after her and make her pay.

When they were kids, if Natasha ever dared to defy her or make her mad, Joelle would always find a way to put her in her place.

She could dish out punishment however she wanted, no questions asked.

Joelle still thought she could treat Natasha the same way.

But she forgot, they’d both grown up.

Natasha wasn’t that powerless little half-sister Joelle could mold and bully however she liked anymore.

Before Joelle could even get close to Natasha, the security guards Nicolas had called over stepped in and stopped her. Joelle shouted, “What do you think you’re doing? Let me go. I need to teach this homewrecker a lesson. “Natasha, how dare you seduce your own brother-in-law? I swear I’m not letting you off!”

Joelle was yelling at the top of her lungs, completely losing it.

Luckily, the parking garage was almost empty, otherwise, Natasha’s reputation would’ve been trashed on the spot.

It wasn’t until the security guards took Joelle away that things finally calmed down for Natasha.

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief and moved to get in the car.

But Nicolas stepped in, blocking her way. “Need a ride home?”

Natasha shot him a quick look and shook her head.

“No, I’ll be fine on my own,” she replied.

She didn’t want to bother him anymore.

Joelle had already misunderstood her. She believed that everyone else would think the same. ‘Looks like I’ll have to keep my distance from Nicolas from now on, Natasha thought to herself.

A few days later, the charity fundraiser rolled around.

Natasha looked stunning in a white dress, sticking close to Nicolas as they arrived together.

Chapter 283 Charity Fundraiser

That night, all the big names from business and politics were there.

Nicolas and Natasha were seated right in the front row.

As soon as they sat down, Natasha spotted a familiar face.

To her surprise, Jared was right on her other side.

She thought, ‘Is this a coincidence, or did the organizers set it up on purpose?’

Natasha was really on edge as soon as she took her seat.

Nicolas was on one side, Jared on the other.

She was stuck right between them, feeling like she was caught between a rock and a hard place.

To make things even more awkward, Nicolas kept striking up conversations with Jared.

The two of them kept shooting looks at each other across her, like she wasn’t even there.

But Natasha couldn’t shake the feeling that both Nicolas and Jared were staring at her, watching her every move.
