Chapter 355
Natasha’s brows knitted tighter and tighter.
She couldn’t tune Joelle out, for Joelle’s taunts were impossible to ignore.
And Joelle wasn’t alone.
Natasha noticed she was holding onto a man’s arm.
But the guy looked a lot older.
He had to be in his fifties at least.
His hair was almost completely gray, and his belly was huge.
Joelle was clearly tight with him.
Natasha couldn’t understand what Joelle found attractive about this old man.
But anyone could tell he was loaded.
He was wearing a thick gold chain around his neck.
Even when he grinned, two shiny gold teeth glinted in his mouth.

“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?” Natasha shot back, her eyes narrowing in confusion. “Didn’t Dad send you to the overseas branch? So what are you doing here?”
Was it just a cover story? Did Dad only say he sent Joelle abroad, but never actually did?’ Natasha wondered.
Joelle glared at her with pure disgust. “All thanks to you! If it weren’t for you, Dad would never have shipped me off
overseas.”
She paused mid-sentence.
Then, with her chin raised in triumph. Joelle sneered, “Sorry to disappoint you, but I ran into Mr. Gibson. He smuggled me back, decked me out in bling, and now I’m living large in a mansion in the luxury district!”
Natasha frowned.
She’d always known her dad would never actually punish Joelle.
She figured he’d only send Joelle abroad for a little while before bringing her home.
But she hadn’t expected it to be so fast, barely even two weeks.
Not only did Joelle come back, but she was also living it up in a luxury mansion.
Is she really getting away with trapping me in the underground warehouse just like that? She basically got off scot-free, Natasha fumed, feeling the injustice burn inside her.
Before Natasha could say another word, Joelle snatched up her phone and dialed the property manager.
She said, “Mr. Holt, isn’t this place supposed to have the strictest security? How did you let some illegitimate nobody sneak
in here!
Just look at her, head to toe in cheap stuff, not a single thing worth bragging about. Someone like her has no business being

in a luxury neighborhood. If you don’t get security over here to kick her out right now, I’m going to file a complaint!”
Joelle threatened, shooting Natasha a nasty glare, her tone dripping with spite.
Natasha rolled her eyes, utterly lost for words.
I’m so sick of Joelle’s stuck-up attitude, Natasha thought.
Joelle, stop acting like you’re better than everyone else! Who do you think you are, anyway? You screwed up but instead of owning it, you’re still trying to cause drama?” Natasha shot back.
But Joelle just thought Natasha was bluffing, taking her words as a sign that she had something to hide.
“Yeah, I’m here to stir up trouble, and I’m here to mess with you, Natasha. What, are you scared?” Joelle sneered.
She looked like she could rip Natasha to shreds right then and there.
If it weren’t for that bitch Natasha, after my divorce, Percy would’ve definitely married me.’ Joelle thought.
But now, Percy didn’t want her, and the Whittier family didn’t dare support her because of the Rundell and Grosso families
She had no choice but to end up with that old man.
It’s all because of Natasha, Joelle seethed inwardly.
Natasha didn’t even bother responding to her.
“You brought this on yourself,” Natasha said coldly.
Karma’s a bitch. People like Joelle always get what’s coming to them,’ Natasha thought.
But before she could leave. Ethan Holt, the property manager, showed up.
“Mr. Gibson, Ms. Whittier, what’s going on? Is there anything I can do for you?” Ethan hurried over, practically fawning as he spoke.
“Didn’t I make myself clear on the phone?” Joelle snapped.
She pointed straight at Natasha, her tone cold and ruthless. “Get this illegitimate girl who popped up out of nowhere thrown out right now! And if you don’t, don’t come crying to me when you lose your job!”
Ethan’s expression hardened as he strode up to Natasha. “Miss, this is a high-end neighborhood. If you’re not supposed to be here, I’ll have to call the police. Why don’t you leave before I have to call security?”
Natasha retorted, “I’m not trespassing. I live here.”
Joelle looked like she’d just heard the funniest joke ever.
“Natasha, you? Living here? Give me a break! You can’t even lie properly. As if someone like you could ever afford a place in a luxury neighborhood like this,” Joelle sneered.
Yeah, right, keep dreaming. Joelle scoffed to herself. ‘Only the city’s richest of the rich can afford a mansion here.
It’s absolutely priceless and beyond ordinary means. Natasha? No way. As if she could ever afford to live here:
Ethan gave Natasha a once-over.
Even though he suspected she was making it up, he still needed to verify, just in case.

“Miss, you say you live here? What’s your name? I’ll check the records,” Ethan soon walked over to Natasha and asked in a formal, businesslike tone.
Natasha knew he was trying to check her identity.
But she was only a resident here.
She wasn’t actually the owner.
If she gave her name and they couldn’t find her in the records, she would be embarrassed.
“What’s wrong, Natasha? Cat got your tongue?” Joelle taunted, her eyes full of mockery.
Before Natasha could even answer, Joelle turned to Ethan. “Her name’s Natasha Whittier!”
She then glanced back at Natasha with a smug, gloating smile.
Her expression practically screamed, ‘Just wait, you’re about to get tossed out of this fancy neighborhood.’
Ethan wasted no time calling to have Natasha’s resident information checked in the villa compound.
He thought for sure nothing would turn up, but what he found left him absolutely floored.
Ethan’s attitude toward Natasha took a complete 180.
He said. “Ms. Whittier, I sincerely apologize for not knowing who you are just now. I had no idea you owned a villa in this exclusive high-end estate. Please forgive my rudeness and don’t hold it against me.”
Joelle and Milton Gibson were totally shocked.
Natasha actually owns a villa here? No way! How is that even possible?’ Joelle couldn’t believe it. ‘She’s just a bastard. There’s no way she could have that kind of money.”
