An Affair With The Ceo (Natasha and Jared) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 See You at City Hall

Chapter 98 See You at City Hall

Percy’s piercing gaze shot a glance at Natasha.

His face was a mix of emotions.

He never thought she’d show up now.

And he was sure she’d never come back.

These past few days, Joelle had gotten herself into trouble and was too afraid to go home, so Percy let her crash at his place for a while.

“Joelle, if you don’t like this, I can make you something else,” Percy said softly, his eyes lowered as he tried to coax her But Joelle wasn’t having it. She snapped at him right in front of Natasha.

“Who asked you to remake it? I want her to eat my leftovers. She’s been eating like this since she was little. What’s wrong with that?” Joelle shot back.

Percy felt humiliated when Joelle yelled at him like that right in front of Natasha.

Still, he put up with it. After all, Joelle had always been pampered, and she was the true Whittier heiress.

“No way. I made this just for you. It’s filled with my love for you. How could I possibly give it to anyone else?” Percy said softly, gently holding Joelle’s hand.

Joelle heard Percy make his feelings clear for her, with Natasha right there watching.

Most of her anger melted away.

Joelle had a thing for taking other women’s husbands, especially Natasha’s.

Natasha always got more attention from guys than Joelle ever did.

Any guy Joelle liked would fall for Natasha instead.

Percy was the only exception.

Now, Percy was married to Natasha, but the one he truly loved was Joelle.

‘Finally, I got my payback, Joelle thought smugly. ‘This is what Natasha deserves.’

“Alright, since you went through all that trouble for me, I’ll take a bite,” Joelle said loudly, making sure Natasha could hear every word. She was trying to piss Natasha off.

After that, she shot Percy a look, signaling him to hold a slice of pizza up for her.

Percy glanced at Natasha from the corner of his eye again.

But he still went along with Joelle’s request.

Even though he knew Joelle was using him, he was more than willing to play along.

But as Joelle took a bite, Natasha suddenly stepped up and dumped all the remaining pizza right on her head.

“Ah!” Natasha gasped, startled.

She shot Natasha a furious glare. “You crazy bitch, are you out of your mind?”

Joelle was about to slap Natasha.

But Natasha beat her to it and smacked Joelle right across the face.

Natasha landed a forceful slap. She didn’t hold back.

Joelle was knocked right into Percy’s arms.

Joelle ended up spitting out all the pizza in her mouth.

Percy’s face turned cold as he snapped, “Have you lost your mind?”

He shielded Joelle behind him and barked at Natasha, his tone harsh and protective.

“I’m not crazy!” Natasha replied, her tone steady and laced with sarcasm.

She stared right back at them, a mocking look on her face.

“But you are so desperate to protect Joelle, your sister-in-law. Tell me, who’s lost it here?”

Percy was shut down by her retort, unable to say a word.

He knew he was in the wrong.

Even though he wanted to defend Joelle, Natasha was still his wife, at least on paper.

Natasha didn’t bother with Percy anymore. Her eyes locked right back onto Joelle.

“Since you came knocking on my door, let’s settle the score,” Natasha said coldly.

She thought, ‘I was just stressing about where to find Joelle.

‘Turns out Percy has her stashed away at our place the whole time.

‘Well, now that she’s here, I’m not holding back. She asked for it.’

“Settle what score? I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Joelle said, her eyes darting as she tried to play it cool.

Even though she was feeling guilty, with Percy in her corner, she acted like Natasha didn’t even exist.

Natasha narrowed her eyes at Joelle. “You used your birthday as a cover to have my mom taken to that club, then tricked me into coming over, so you could humiliate me, and even had Gordon try to assault me…”

Joelle’s expression flickered with uncertainty, but she tried to bluff her way through, her confidence clearly wavering.

“That’s your own speculation. Got any evidence?” she retorted, trying to sound defiant.

“Everyone who was in that private room with you that night saw everything. They’re all witnesses. And besides, Gordon has confessed,” Natasha said, deliberately trying to scare Joelle.

Truth was, Gordon was still knocked out cold, but Natasha pretended he’d already woken up and spilled everything about Joelle.

Joelle was caught red-handed, and her nerves shot through the roof.

“Those idiots, I can’t believe they ratted me out,” she hissed through clenched teeth.

Natasha’s eyes were cold and sharp. “So, you’re admitting it?”

Joelle let out a cold snort. “Yeah, so what if I did? Percy never even liked you. Rather than leave you wasting away all alone, I was doing you a favor by sending Gordon to keep you company. And you have a problem with that?”

As she said that, she didn’t even notice how Percy’s expression turned stormy.

“Really thoughtful of you, Joelle,” Natasha said, her tone icy and full of sarcasm.

She shot Joelle a cold glare, a mocking smile tugging at her lips. “But why don’t you try telling that to the police and see if they believe you?”

Joelle snorted. “Why would I admit anything in front of the cops?”

“You won’t be able to deny it now,” Natasha said, whipping out her phone and tapping the screen.

She’d recorded everything they said.

Joelle’s expression turned downright ugly.

“Natasha, you set me up!” Joelle shouted, her anger boiling over.

She stabbed her finger at Natasha, shaking with fury.

Her face contorted with rage, twisted and vicious.

“You were the one who tried to ruin me first. I set things up so you’d expose yourself,” Natasha said coldly.

Joelle was so furious that she could barely contain herself.

Joelle snapped at Percy, “Percy, hurry up! Grab her phone and delete the recording she made.”

But Percy hesitated.

He turned to Joelle and asked, “Joelle, that’s not what you told me before. You said you had nothing to do with what Gordon did to Natasha, that you were tricked by him, too.”

Joelle rolled her eyes, snapping impatiently, “Why are you making such a big deal out of this? Whose side are you on, mine or hers? If you want to help me, snatch her phone and delete that recording for me.”

Before Percy could even make a move, Natasha arched her brow and cut in, “Go ahead and try to grab my phone. It won’t help you. I already sent the recording to my friend.

“For all you know, the cops could be on their way right now to pick you up, Joelle.”

“What?” Joelle’s face fell, panic written all over her.

She shot up from her seat, unable to stay put.

Her thoughts were all over the place.

The last thing she wanted was to get dragged off by the police again.

Joelle couldn’t care less about Percy now.

She turned and rushed out in a panic, not caring about anything else.

Natasha scoffed, rolling her eyes in pure contempt.

She thought, ‘Joelle’s so damn guilty. It’s written all over her face.

‘And she still had the guts to show up at my house?’

Percy’s expression was conflicted, his gaze deep and troubled.

It was as if the truth had just dawned on him.

He looked at Natasha, regret in his eyes. “That night…”
