Chapter 37

Natalie bit her lower lip and slightly smiled, feeling sweet.

Out of the blue. Josh said, “Nat, how about dancing for me?

Natalie hesitated on hearing the word dance. Before she could answer, the phone rang.

Josh picked it up. “Hey, Mom.”

There was a pause as Dianna’s voice came through, dripping with annoyance. Josh Why are you on the phone? Where’s Nat?”

With a silent shrug, he passed the phone to Naralic

Natalie took it over and said. “Hi, Mrs. Francof

“Hello, Nat!” Dianna sounded happy. “Nat. I’ve heard about what happened to Jensen. Don’t worry. I’ve already beaten him up!“:

“It’s really okay. Jensen didn’t mean it, Natalic reassured her.

“No way! I will ask him to make a serious apology to you! He’ll come back this weekend. Would you and Josh come back for dinner by then?”

Natalie glanced at Josh, who nodded, and she confirmed, “Sure, we can do that”

Then it’s settled Dianna was overjoyed.

After they hung up, Josh circled back to his earlier thought.

Natalie pursed her lips slightly and said, “What… What do you want to see

Josh thought for a while and said, “Drank Beauty.

Natalie stiffened for a second.

Josh noticed and felt a pang of regret.

“Drink Beauty” was the piece Natalie had worked on for ages for a competition called Rhythm Revolution. On the day she was set to perform, Josh planned to drop everything to watch her shine on stage. But life had other plans–he got pulled away to Astoria for an urgent meeting with the president By the time he returned, he found out something terrible had happened to Natalie. He never got to see her “Drunk Beauty, and it haunted him.

Josh asked softly, “Is that okay?”

Natalie thought for a long while.

“Sure. I’ll dance that for you.”

With a grateful smile, Josh watched as Natalie stepped back gracefully and raised her arm to signal the dance’s opening pose. As she twirled into mation, her elegance unmatched, it was like watching a swan take flight,

Her white dress billowed around her, accentuating her figure beautifully. She was the embodiment of allure and grace, her shy smile suggesting a hidden depth of charm.

In the Linney residence, the doctor of the Linney family fixed Jennifer’s arm. After hearing Jennifer’s aggrieved explanation, the members of the Linney family were all very angry, especially Gordon

His face darkened. That hastard hurt not only Sieuna but also Jennifer. How dare shiel

Churles stormed toward the door, ready for action.

“What are you going to do?” Evelyn asked.

Tm going to teach Natalir a lesson and avenge Jennifer, of courser Charles said without looking back.

Evelyn said coldly, “Stop right there!”

Charles could only stop. Evelyn said, “We should ask Natalie first before we make a decision

When Natalie got the call, she had just finished the dance.

Josh pulled her close, caressing her check. “Never seen anything more stunning

Natalie looked up, eyes glistening. You seen a lot of dances before?”

That question was a minefield. Josh took a second and then fondly tapped her nose. “My mom’s.”

Truth be told, Josh had been to his fair share of fancy functions with dancing. He’d seen the world, but Natalie outshone them all.

The phone rang, Josh picked up Natalie’s phone, heard something, and then frowned slightly.

Natalie looked up and asked confusedly. “What’s wrong!”

“Nothing” replied Josh. Then he kept his cool on the call. “Mr. Linney, come on My wife’s a total lightweight. How’s she supposed to dislocate Jennifer Linney’s arm? Think before you accuse someone. Don’t be fooled”

Then Josh hung up the phone.

Natalie, who was just described as “a lightweight, was speechless

Josh put the phone aside and stared at Natalie with his deep eyes for a few seconds

Natalie avoided his gaze, feeling guilty. She braced for his questions.

But instead, Josh laughed, swept her up with one arm, and said, “It’s bedume”

He carried her effortlessly back to the bedroom and cuddled her close.

Josh didn’t ask anything about the call, but Natalie was uneasy. She thought, Why doesn’t he ask?

Josh held Natalie tightly from behind and whispered a warning. Stay still; unless you’re ready to lose that armi

Natalie froze.

Josh’s words made the Linney family reconsider. Only a strong person could pop an arm out of its socker Jennifer said in a choked voice, “Dad, Mom, trust me! I’m telling the truth! Brian, you have to testify for me… Brian, who had been quiet, finally spoke. “I wasn’t there when it happened.

There were no cam

no cameras on the Royal Restaurant’s ninth floor. It was for the elite who vahied their privacy, There were doubts and considerations in Cordon’s eyes.

Evelyn pursed her lips and said, “That’s the end of this.

“Jennifer, Natalie has a bad temper. Just stay away from her. You are sisters. Why do you have to make such a scene!”

Jennifer gritted her teeth fiercely. “Okay!

“That old bitch! All these years I respected her like a mother, and she takes her daughter’s side and doesn’t believe me! Jennifer fumed internally.

Not everyone had given up though. Sophia, just as angry, pulled Charles aside after learning what had happened.

“Charles, you need to seek justice for your sister, Sophia implored, concern evident in her tone. “Her arm was dislocated! It must be killing her.”

Looking at Jennifer’s pale face, Charles felt his anger rising. “I swear, I’ll set things straight

Sophia was so moved. “Sure. You’re a good brother”

Multitask like never before on the nati

The next day, Josh made sure Natalie arrived at Scott Jewelry’s building on time.

She said goodbye to him

Josh rubbed his forehead against Natalie’s eyebrows and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Do you want me to walk you in?”

“I got this,” Natalie assured him.

“Alright.” Josh caressed Natalie’s hair. Then Natalie headed into Scott Group.

After Natalie disappeared. Josh got into the car and left.

The car passed the glistening river and headed to the Presidential Palace. Inside the car.. Josh closed his eyes for rest.

After a long while, with a commanding air. Josh opened his deep eyes and called out. “Martin!”

Martin said. “Yes, Mr. President?

“There’s someone I need you to find.”

Martin perked up. “Who?”

Josh narrowed his eyes and said, “Freddy Stone.
