Freddy let out a sigh. “Sorry, I didn’t expect you to get dragged intc that.”

Nathalie shrugged. “Well, I’ve already slapped her, so I’m not mad anymore. Looks like you’re the one who’s got trouble coming your now.”

They split up after that, each going their own way.

When Nathalie got home, her thoughts were still scrambled. Adelaid took one look at her and could tell something was off.

Nathalie went to wash her hands. When she sat down next to her grandmother, she admitted quietly, “I just found out today that Felice w actually the one who saved Lance all those years ago.”

e’s eyes widened. “Then who did you save?”

ent she said his name, the air in the room turned heavy, like the was holding its breath.

athalie had been walking home, turning the same question over and over in her head. Did Jackson know? Before he passed away, they used to see each other all the time. He even stood with her as a groomsman at her wedding.

Adelaide reached over and brushed Nathalie’s hair out of her face. “Now that everything’s out in the open, why are you still so upset?”

Nathalie frowned, confusion creasing her forehead. “I just don’t get wh Lance had to hide this from me.”

Adelaide was quiet for a second, then said softly, “Maybe he was afrai Maybe he thought if you knew the truth, you’d start doubting how you f about him.”

Nathalie blinked, lost in the thought. “But I had feelings for him first. That’s why I went to save him…”

Adelaide gave her a gentle, knowing look. “Maybe he just doesn’t see it that way. Honestly, I don’t always understand how you young people :hink.”

That only made Nathalie feel more mixed up inside.

She pushed to her feet. “I’m going to take a shower, try to clear my head

‘Alright, go on.”

At the Charles family estate, Olivia was crying as she complained to Paulina, twisting everything that happened between Nathalie and Freddy nto something dramatic.

Paulina looked horrified. As soon as Freddy walked through the door, she rounded on him. “Freddy, when did you get involved with that woman? She’s married to Lance, they haven’t even split up yet. Do you want The Adams Group to come after us?”

Freddy turned, expression icy, looking straight at Olivia. “What did you say to her?”

Olivia defended herself. “I only told her what I saw!”

Freddy’s eyes narrowed. He turned to Paulina. “Mom, you’re thinking too much. Nathalie and I are just friends. There’s no reason to take anything Olivia says seriously.”

Olivia jumped in, her voice sharp. “Mom, that bitch Nathalie right in front of him, and he just stood there. There’s no way friends. For all you know, they’ve been sleeping together this She pointed at her own cheek. “Look, my face still hurts.”

Paulina’s heart twisted with sympathy. “Freddy, you need to st from that woman. I don’t want her dragging our family into cha Freddy took off his glasses, slowly pulled out a cleaning cloth, the lenses like he needed the time to cool down. When he put th on, his eyes were ice cold. “Seems like you’ve got a little too mu on your hands lately. Why don’t you take over the business in Eas for a while? And don’t come back until you’ve hit your targets.”

Olivia stared at him in disbelief. “You can’t be serious…”

Paulina stiffened, her voice rising. “Freddy, how could you send you sister out there? That part of the world is a mess…”

Freddy didn’t flinch. “If you’ve got a problem with how I’m running thin you take over the company. I’ve still got business overseas. I can alwa go back if you’d prefer.”
