The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 670

Chapter 670 Silence

“I’ll be the judge of that. There’s no need for you to worry about me, Ms. Lancaster.” Natalie narrowed her eyes, staring at Jacqueline icily.

“Oh, I’m not worried about you. I’m merely taking pity on you.” Jacqueline shrugged and sighed. “It’s unfortunate that I was the person who performed before you. It must be really stressful, right?”

Natalie pursed her lips in response and stared at Jacqueline, annoyed.

“Why are you staring at me like this? You look like you’re going to eat me alive. Or perhaps, are you having cold feet and thinking about quitting? If I were you, I’ll think of an excuse to leave and avoid embarrassing myself.”

Natalie glanced at Jacqueline’s mocking gaze. “Are you done? If you are, I’ll be leaving for the stage now.”

“Tsk. How stubborn…” Jacqueline raised the corner of her lips and chuckled. “You should thank me for giving you the opportunity to perform today.”

Hearing that, Natalie froze.

So, it was Jacqueline who engineered this! I knew this was not a coincidence!

She must have planned this so that I would embarrass myself in front of everyone.

We could have left each other alone. But since she chose to pick a fight with me, I shall play along then!

“Thank you.” Natalie smirked, her gaze cold.

Jacqueline was dumbfounded. She did not expect that Natalie would actually thank her. Is she out of her mind? She’s about to make a fool out of herself on stage. Is she acting like this because she’s giving up?

“You…” Jacqueline gritted her teeth.

She glared at Natalie’s departing figure as fury boiled within her.

How dare she speak to me like this! I would love to see what’s so special about her!

Natalie walked to the middle of the stage, and almost instantly, she could feel the crowd’s gazes settling on her.

She recalled that in the past, Yara would always be sick and she had to impersonate her sister to participate in numerous competitions, winning many trophies in the process.

It had been six years since Natalie stood before an audience.

She was joining that night’s event on behalf of Yandel.

As such, she came unprepared, without any song, instrument, or attire.

Skipping the introduction, Natalie stood before the microphone, cleared her voice, and started singing.

The song she chose was the “Melody of Water.”
