Chapter 191
The Collins family started as a crime family hundreds of years ago. When Christopher’s father, Romeo Collins, took over the Collins family, he decided to put a stop to it and start a legal business.
Although the name of the Collins family had been cleared, the family still had great influence in the underworld.
As such, no one dared to go against the Collins family even though the family was no match for the Bowers family or the Watsons family in terms of wealth.
After all, the rich wouldn’t want to lose their lives.
Christopher looked into the pair of eyes staring back at him. Not even a hint of fear could be seen in Natalie’s eyes.
A lot of men were scared to their wits when they were facing him.
She was the first woman he met who dared to stare right into his eyes and ask him a question so calmly.’
At that moment, he wanted to know more about the woman in front of him, who was disguising herself as a male.
After he walked toward her, he took off her glasses and found that her eyes were attractive.
This woman…
“You are the one playing piano just now, aren’t you?”
Natalie felt her heart skipped a beat.
Even though she was surprised that Yandel could recognize her through the veil, it was still understandable since he had known her for years.
However, this was the first time Christopher met her. Not only did he see through her disguise, but he also recognized her as the pianist on the stage.
The observant Christopher scared her.
“You look shocked…” He lifted her chin with his fingers. “I guess it must be you.”
He was attractive yet dangerous.
Samuel is like a fierce wolf, and this guy gives me an impression of a poisonous snake.
Natalie could tell that the man standing in front of her was even more difficult to deal with than she had thought he would be.
If I don’t answer his question, I might die here today.
After taking a deep breath, she said, “Mr. Collins, as you have guessed, I heard everything you said. If I tell others that you are now suffering from a serious disease and will die soon, I’m afraid the power of the Collins family will be affected.”
Crack!
As soon as she said that, her right arm was immediately dislocated by Nicholas.
“Your death will solve everything,” he hissed.
Although it was immensely painful, she did not even make a sound.
“Killing me is as easy as killing an ant. If I’m dead, your boss won’t be able to live much longer as well. He will soon be six feet under with me.”
Despite her dangerous situation, she was brave and firm, giving off a powerful aura.
Nicholas barked, “Shut up! He will live a very long life. He is not someone you can curse easily!”
“He spent one and a half billion to buy a snakeblood fruit just to prolong his life. However, I don’t think he can live long with that.” She bit her lip. “I have a way to save him. Therefore, if I die, no one else can save his life.”
Actually, there was no reason for her to save Christopher.
Despite that, that was the only way to rescue herself at the moment. Thus, she couldn’t care less if Christopher was truly as cruel as it was rumored.
“You can cure me of my illness. Do you know wha
u know what u
uppens to the ones who
play tricks on me?” Christopher squeezed her chin harder. “Knowing my secret brings death upon you, but your life will be a living hell if you fool me.”
With that, he let go of her.
Natalie held her dislocated arm. Closing her eyes, she reduced it manually without hesitation and said, “Mr. Collins, give me your hand.”
After that, she put two fingers on Christopher’s wrist lightly.
Narrowing her eyes in concentration, she composed herself and checked on his condition.
